The evening depicted here is presumably one of those nights that Hedley singer Jacob Hoggard can't remember, so it only makes sense that this video seems to be missing huge swaths of narrative. The trouble revolves around a girl — two of them, in fact — and it leaves Hoggard battered, bruised and posing for a mug shot. Things go much smoother for the former Canadian Idol contestant when he lets this ballad — which sounds a heck of a lot like the Joey-loves-Dawson anthem "I'll Be" — do the talking. The video was a smash hit up in The Great White North, earning Best Video, Best Director and Best Cinematography at the MuchMusic Video Awards, but didn't receive much play down here in the U.S. — thereby leaving the band a distant second to Hedley Lamarr in terms of being Amerca's favorite Hedley. --> watch "For The Nights I Can't Remember" via YouTube or Quicktime
