More info about the video treatment. :)

Interviewer : It’s going to be awesome. I can imagine the sheer fun it’s going to be to do this album live. There’s another song that struck me, and that’s “When You’re Gone”. In the Blender interview it mentioned how Butch helped you write after talking about how hard it is to be away from Deryck when you’re on tour.

Avril : Yeah, a bit of it was about that. I mean, it was a song that we wanted to make universal, and a lot of the inspiration came having to leave someone that you love and all the little things you miss about them. The song’s gonna be the second single. I just shot the video for it. I came up with the concept for the video: I wanted to have, like, a husband going off to war with his pregnant wife at home, and then I wanted like an old man who clearly had lost his wife and he goes to the gravestone to visit her, and then I wanted like a teenage couple who [had a] “weren’t allowed to be together” kinda thing, so like there’s all these different stories. This video’s really pretty and it’s very personal. So it’s nice for me just talking about how I want it to make the record really fun and up-tempo. You know, I’d enjoy having a couple ballads so that I could really express my emotions and deliver emotion and just get ... you know, I love to be able to sing a ballad every once in awhile—it just feels good.

Go to the Music Videos Section, then go to 'Pop'. There should be a banner at the top left of the page. "Avril Lavigne Video Premiere"

[SILENCE]

very very good video!

the song is beautiful I love the song the more I hear it...

[OUcultjam]

I tried, I really tried...

This song would be beautiful if someone other than Avril were singing it, or if she sang it differently. I had to stop watching the video (which is pretty!) because her voice is like nails on a chalkboard during it.

[beaston]

Nice video! Reminds me a lot of Where'd You Go

[MyLastView]

see I was gonna say that but then thought better of it....

[Pump It]

Awesome video!

[Felicia]

OMG AWESOME VIDEO!

Best Avril video to date in my opinion. I teared up a little when the old man cried.

The product placement - LOL.

A+D, how sweet. :)

It's very LQ but that's what we have now.

[dperkins]

OH MY GOD!!! That video was fuckin AMAZING! It gave me chills. IMO, that was her best video yet. This could end up being her biggest hit yet. IMO, its her best ballad and this is her best video. Definately my fave Avril single so far.

[dperkins]

I love how she used A + D in the little heart. Who knows if most people will catch on that it means Avril + Derek.

I think she has pretty much got the video perfectly.....She did great to use the idea of focusing on different ways of someone leaving too.

How can someone looks such immaculate and stunning!

[doodlebug]

Wow I don't know that I've had just a video to a song bring tears before. That old man is so sad and heartwrenching, especially at the cemetary. This song is awesome and the lyrics just really put it all out there.
