The Great Wide Open is a "mini-album" by Funeral for a Friend, featuring the title track taken from their album Tales Don't Tell Themselves. Originally planned as the third single from the album, it was later deferred by two weeks and expanded to a mini-album in order to release the live tracks recorded in August.
The song's music video shows the band playing in a little shack lost on a beach at night with waves resting on the shore. Around the middle of the video, some green, red and white lights flash throughout the house.[1]
Mini-album
Atlantic Records released the mini album on 15 October 2007. It includes the track of the same name from the 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves' album as well as the video, and also 8 classic live tracks - the 1st 2 EPs 'Between Order & Model' and 'Four Ways to Scream Your Name'.
