“I Could Not Love You More”… — 14 Comments

  1. That video is very 90s that is for sure.

    Videos of that era seemed to be either live where the band is playing the song or it has actors playing some story out interspersed with the band singing/playing in some random setting. In this case with an act that was older it would have been odd to have one of the brothers in the love story so they hire a couple of young models/actors and there you go.

    The range of videos in the heyday of MTV (approx. 1981-2005) is as wide as can be and it often is totally unrelated to the quality of the artist or the song.

    One of the most widely mocked videos of all time is for a great song with a great vocal performance by Steve Perry.

    Journey ‘Separate Ways’

  2. So here are three guys walking down the middle of an empty street. I know it’s just me, but my first thought is, what am I going to be obligated to do about this. Something’s wrong and I need to be paying attention.
    And they’re in black….like Richard Greene in “Paladin”. Means they think…?
    The male model needs a few meat loaf sandwiches and some push ups.

    Back in the day when we got country music television, I used to like watching a number of their videos. There were shots from concerts, from fake concerts in which it appeared the entire Vanderbilt sorority row got front row tickets. There were studio shots. What I liked most was the stories they told, with or without the performer being in the shot. I liked looking at the presumed audience-friendly buttons they pushed. The music…..meh. So I was habituated to looking at the BG video that way. Not. Impressed.

    Sorry to be such a downer.

  3. Wonderful song, like all their works. Nice to read how you describe the details of the clip with love and so beautifully, dear Neo.

  4. Griffin,

    I love Separate Ways. The kids and I just watched a surprisingly enjoyable Jim Carrey movie on a rainy day called YES MAN. I didn’t expect to like it at all. And yet I did, especially an unexpectedly heartwarming scene with a man on a ledge.

    Separate Ways has a part to play in that movie, in that it’s the main character’s ring tone on his phone and then the song itself comes into play again in the climax of the movie.

    Lately, music wise, the kids and I have been getting a lot of enjoyment out of orchestral or “epic” arrangements and remakes of pop songs.

    I think so far my favorite is this version of Toto’s Africa:

  5. Fractal Rabbit,

    Yes, that era of Journey was really good. ‘Stone In Love’, and ‘Still They Ride’ are awesome songs. Great guitars from Neil Schon and incredible vocals from Steve Perry. Perry is one of the greatest vocalists of the rock era.

    There have been a ton of covers put out in the last year by people in their houses. Some are really good some not so much but it further proves that there are very few new original songs that can crossover demographically.

  6. Title of this song sounds like something Elon Musk would call one of his rockets, capsules, or drone ships.
