All Good Things (Come To An End) is our favorite song of Nelly Furtado’s new album, Loose.

While Maneater is nicely hovering near the top of the charts in America, the Canadian crackerjack has chosen to release Good Things as the third single in Europe.

And, the video for the song is easily our favorite off the new record.

Not trying as hard as the others - no dance moves - the video (with its water motif and sepia tinted cinematography) reminds us of Nelstar’s clip for Turn Off The Light.

Though we’re sad that due to bullshit label politics, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who co-wrote All Good Things with Furtado, is not on the recorded or filmed version, the song and the vid are totally rad.
