Music video
The music video was directed by Jake Scott from June 19, 1995 to June 21, 1995 in Los Angeles. Scott used a special "fish eye" lens to film some of the scenes, to give that distorted view as if looking through a peep hole.[2] Another music video was made for the Healy and Amos mashup remix, which was directed by Jason Scott and released in 1998.
Commercial performance
"Comedown" became one of the band's most popular songs reaching number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and number two on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in late 1995. The song also gave Bush their first American top 40 hit, reaching number 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 on November 4, 1995.
