"Can You Hear Me?" is a song by New Zealand rock band Evermore, it is the third single from their third studio album Truth of the World: Welcome to the Show and is one of the bands personal favourites, seeing it as one of the most emotional and rewarding songs they've ever written. It's the last track on the album and tells the story of the main character, Max, who crashed his car into a river and sees his whole life run before his eyes. The song is currently being used for a Westpac television commercial. It is also currently being used for the Seven Network promotion of the Grey's Anatomy season five season finale.

The band finished filming the video which was filmed in Johannesburg, South Africa and directed by Tristin Holmes. It became available to Evermore's fans at midnight on 3 June 2009. The beginning of the video features the track "Faster" from the same album and then progresses into the title song. The video has recently become available on iTunes in two versions: Single version which only consists of the title song and the extended album version which also features the track 'Faster'

Pete Hume, in a message about the video said:

"It's the last track on the album, the emotional high-point & is one of our favourites. We filmed in Johannesburg South Africa which seems like a strange place to film, and it is. We'd met the director Tristin Holmes a couple of years ago and always had him in the back of our minds because he made powerful emotional work and impressive vocabulary (he used the word 'maelstrom' in general conversation!). We wanted to do something different to anything we've done before so we took a long-shot. We had no idea what we were in for. In a 4 day shoot, on which I don't think Jon ever got out of sogging wet clothes, we were pummeled with fire-hoses & climbed through rotting drain-pipes. Despite this I think it was definitely worth it".
