"I'm From Further North Than You" is a song by The Wedding Present. It was released as the second single from the album Take Fountain. The single was released on January 31, 2005 on CD and 7" vinyl. This was the only single from the album to be released on two formats. A music video was produced for the song, featuring David Gedge and a woman (played by actress Annie Bergin) talking on their cell phones, in partially animated, comic book style. Their comments are displayed throughout the video, seemingly directed at one another, until the end of the video when the two bump into each other as complete strangers, and Gedge asks her out for coffee. The video can be found on the bonus DVD from the compilation album Search for Paradise: Singles 2004-5, released in 2006.
The single peaked at number 34 in the UK singles chart. This was their first top 40 hit for 8 years and the last so far in their career.
