'Looking as You Are' was the third single from the ‘Out of Nothing’ album and was released on 14 February 2005, reaching number 11 in the UK singles chart. The 'Looking as You Are' video intercuts between two perspectives, singer Danny McNamara and a woman, as they nearly mirror each other's actions. The narrative unfolds with the woman getting ready while McNamara wakes up on a sofa. As McNamara walks to join the band's performance, the woman leaves her place, visits a café, and eventually finds herself in the same room as the band before running off, creating a visually engaging storyline.

LYRICS
I told the devil and the deep blue sea to hide
I thought that you were after them, I was right
But it's a picture I'll always keep in mind
Where you say I've never been even liked
For anything truly mine
And you did it looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Love enters and leaves you through your eyes
You threw away the only thing that I liked
And now to tell you that things will be all right
It never really seems that way late at night
When you did it looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
And now I know, that the world's not waiting
For you, nor for me
And now I know that the world got heavy
Won't change
'Cause you did it looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Looking as you are
Now you're gone
I stand on my own
ABOUT EMBRACE
Formed in the early ‘90s, Embrace solidified their current line-up in 1996, consisting of brothers Danny and Richard McNamara, bassist Steve Firth, keyboardist Mickey Dale, and drummer Mike Heaton.
Their breakthrough came in 1997 with the indie anthem 'All You Good Good People', followed by top 10 hits 'Come Back To What You Know' and 'My Weakness Is None Of Your Business'. Debut album 'The Good Will Out’, released in June 1998 soared to number one and went on to sell over 500,000 copies in the UK alone, marking it out as one of the fastest-selling debuts by a British artist. Subsequent albums, 'Drawn from Memory' (2000) and 'If You've Never Been' (2001) both entered the top 10 before the band left their original label Hut Recordings.
After a three-year hiatus, Embrace signed with Independiente Records. 2004’s 'Out of Nothing’ album propelled the band back to the top of the charts, thanks in part to Coldplay's Chris Martin, who wrote the hit single ‘Gravity' for the album. The album went on to sell over 600,000 copies in the UK (2xPlatinum) and the band has now scored eight consecutive top 10 album in their career to date.
