"Shatter" is a song by the British rock band Feeder. "Shatter" was first released as B-side to "Tumble and Fall" and as a bonus to the Japanese edition of Pushing the Senses; it has since been included on the band's compilation album The Singles. Released in October 2005, the single was backed up with "Tender" from the fifth studio album Pushing the Senses, the combination reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart. "Shatter" appears in the end credits of the English language dub of the Russian film Night Watch (Russian: Ночной дозор, Nochnoy Dozor).

Style

"Tender" is a piano-driven ballad, with guitar, bass and drums.

It charted at #57 on the top 100 UK airplay chart. "Tender" reached #55 but did not pick up as much audience figures overall, while not given very much radio play due to "Shatter" being the main track to promote the release.

Music video

The music video for "Shatter" sees the band appearing in various scenes of the film Night Watch.

In the video the band are seen driving a yellow van in a 180 degree stunt. Later the van arrives to a block of flats where a vortex is seen, with frontman Grant Nicholas armed with a glowing tube that resembles a lightsaber, exploring the levels before forcing a locked door open and entering a flat.

The video for "Tender" is a band performance video, and first appeared on the "Depot sessions" section of the Pushing the Senses DVD bonus disc. The version used to promote "Tender" has an added effect of clouds and blue tinting.
