Meaghan Smith, 'Here Comes Your Man' -- Video Premiere

Meaghan SmithWhen Meaghan Smith recorded a cover version of the Pixies' 'Here Comes Your Man,' she was not only given the opportunity to work with the legendary T-Bone Burnett, but she also found herself in good company on the soundtrack of the romantic comedy '500 Days of Summer.' The singer's tune is alongside music by She and Him, the Smiths, the Temper Trap and more on the album.

"I was so happy to be involved in the '500 Days of Summer' soundtrack," Smith tells Spinner. "I was a big fan of the movie. The message mimicked so much of what my own album is about."

Smith's 'Here Comes Your Man' was produced by Burnett and features an Omnichord. The playful feel of the track is mirrored well in her new video, in which she rides a bike on a sunny day as a guy runs after her.

"Getting to make a music video for 'Here Comes Your Man' was really a lot of fun. Who wouldn't want to spend an afternoon riding bikes and being chased by boys?" Smith says. Watch the exclusive premiere of the video below.

This is kind of dumb. Does she even know what the meaning of the song is? It's about dropping the nuclear bomb on Japan.

Maybe it's just me, but I seem to be hearing a lot of auto-tune in her voice. It's subtle, but I definitely hear it.
