A game of solitaire in a cafe turns into a daydream filled with playing cards. World record holder for card stacking, Bryan Berg, stacked thousands of playing cards for us to bring this concept to life. The video went on to become a hit on VH1 charting at #2 on the top 20 countdown and the song become a top 10 billboard hit as well as the anthem song to the film “Never Back Down.”
