"Send the Pain Below" is a song by American rock band Chevelle, released as the second single from their second album, Wonder What's Next (2002). It is one of their biggest hits, reaching No. 1 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart on July 5, 2003, for a week, and staying on the chart for 36 weeks. It hit No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart a week later on July 12, 2003, and stayed for 35 weeks, including three more intermittently on top. It placed No. 65 on the Billboard Hot 100, lower than their prior single, "The Red", at No. 56.
The song's music video, directed by Jeff Richter,[citation needed] revolves around a snowboarder and his difficulties in striving for excellent performance. The band is seen playing the song in a dark room, with their breath creating fog in the cold air.
The song is included in the video game Donkey Konga 2.[4]
