...Elliot Smith song, filled with dark and brooding imagery; but the video for “Believe” wastes its existential potential on cheap cliches. What should have been a deeply moving and raw music video becomes a glorified iPod commercial, with slightly worse lighting, defective editing, and awkward crowd surfing.
