The Greatest View


"The Greatest View" is a song by the Australian rock band Silverchair. It was released in 2002 as the first single from their fourth album, Diorama. A video was made in which the band plays in hotel room representing Daniel Johns' inner space which spies try to investigate and listen in on. At the end of the video, the whole hotel lifts up into the air playing on the words 'greatest view'. This is one of three songs which made it onto the album which Johns recorded using his Rickenbacker 12 string.
Before 2007, the song never charted in America. It then peaked at #36 on the Modern Rock Tracks, due to an EP being released by Warner Bros. Records. Music Choice lists this song as being a part of Silverchair's 2007 album Young Modern.
It was later used in the Sci Fi Channel promos of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
This song is also featured in the video game Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2003.
