Tom Vek's Saam Farahmand-directed "Aroused" video features folks staring moodily at the camera before treating cigarettes like a hot date. Vek: "It's a nod to the way in which smoking is used heavily and quite innocently in art and fashion ... In the video, it represents feelings of being overwhelmed and extremities -- both of which tie in with the sentiment of the album." Don't watch if you're trying to quit.
