YEAH-OH comes out and people praise it and its fierceness then this simple bland piece comes out and people are acting like a video with NOTHING going on is what they've been waiting for. Lulz.

Compared to this, "Love Story"'s Music Video is Action Packed. Eff the horse.
lol, what? I didn't find her smiling scenes contrived looking at all. Often times I would agree with you that a video with nothing going on can be quite boring. But NOT if it is shot well, which this video is. The framing, cinematography, lighting, etc is all top notch. The song also is very laid back, so having more going on would probably be overkill imo.

I am also one of those people that thinks Daybreak is a great video.
