"Someday" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback. It was released on 28 July 2003 as the lead single from their 2003 album The Long Road. It reached number one in Canada for three weeks and number seven in the United States. In the latter country, it charted for 50 weeks, thus becoming Nickelback's longest-charting single.[1] It also charted within the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at number six.
Music video[]
The music video, directed by Nigel Dick, portrays what at first appears to be a failed relationship between a couple played by Clint Carleton and Daniella Evangelista. Daniella bursts into tears after reading a newspaper, and frantically packs a suitcase with clothes. Clint tries to stop her from leaving, but she brushes him off and runs out crying. As she leaves the house with the suitcase (echoing the lyrics "I wish you'd [...] unpack your suitcase"), we see Clint stepping in spilled milk without leaving any traces or footprints. Daniella gets into a brown Jeep Cherokee and drives away, still crying, with Clint running after her. She looks in the rear-view mirror, but she can only see an empty street where Clint was. He is still chasing her, though, and almost catches up to her, but she runs a red light and a large truck smashes into the side of the Jeep. Clint sees that there is no way she could have survived, and starts crying, only to see the ghost of Daniella materialize and walk toward him, smiling. The two reunite with tearful hugs and they walk away together. As they pass a newspaper vending machine, we see the news headline Daniella was reading at the beginning, revealing that Clint died in a bridge accident the day before. Clint had been a ghost the whole time, which means Daniella couldn't see him, and is also why he didn't leave footprints with the spilled milk.
Throughout the video, shots are interspersed of the band playing the song in a glass-walled warehouse.
There is also an alternate ending for the video, in which Daniella walks away from the accident unharmed. Clint hugs her from behind, but he disappears as she walks away, implying that he is a ghost.[2] She walks past the vending machine alone, and the headline is revealed as before.
