"Into Oblivion (Reunion)" is the opening track, and first single, from Funeral for a Friend's album, Tales Don't Tell Themselves. It was a single released on 7 May 2007 reaching number 16 in the UK charts in its first week. The album followed on May 14. The song debuted on The Zane Lowe rock show on 19 March 2007 and the official music video was uploaded to the band's MySpace page shortly after. It was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. The song was once featured on Coronation Street, with David Platt sat in his car listening to the song.

Music video

[edit]

The video features the band playing in a dark studio, with a large screen behind them. As the screen plays, it shows various scenes of seas during a storm (in keeping with the concept album's theme). Later, the studio suddenly begins to rain heavily, soaking all the band members.
