Music video

The music video was directed by Michael Martin.[4]

In retrospect, Robb Flynn has been ambivalent about the video, saying "me dressed up as like an orange-juice-box in the “From This Day” video is definitely one of those “what-the-fuck-was-I-thinking” moments".[5] Guitarist Ahrue Luster would later admit that the infamous orange jacket Flynn was wearing was actually his, but he gave it to Flynn after he didn't like the fit of it.[6]

In 2018, the staff of Metal Hammer included the video in the site's list of "the 13 best nu metal videos".[7]
