They just don't make them like this anymore! The 80's were a creative period, musically especially it seems to me. Music shapes us. It's all going on in this video. Hold me is from the album Mirage, hence the desert setting and mirrors I suppose. And what genre of art is being evoked, surrealism? What painters, Rene Magritte, Dali. There is a girl with a white horse and the sand dunes make me think of Star Wars, doesn't Stevie Nicks look just a little bit like Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia)? How did Fleetwood Mac write such amazing songs. Was it chemistry?
Did you know that the video for Everywhere is based on the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes:
THE wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
And the highwayman came riding—
Riding—riding—
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
"Black Magic Woman" worth a listen. (The seventies!)
