arggg, this song is driving me crazy. I heard it many times on MTV in the World Stage ads, I know instantly that I've known this song for years! but I just can't call its name

google doesn't help. it's a rock song I think, the vocalist is wearing a black tuque (oh he looks like U2's guitarist The Edge but younger and he doesn't play guitar at the time). The lyrics is difficult to hear and I don't get a single word from what he's singing. no it's not that I
don't get a single word - it's that I don't get a straight several words together long enough to google them. and I can't find the ads on youtube to post here, so that I can get advice from you guys... frustrated I am
