Subject: Recent music videos filmed in the country side/fields/a park?
Written By: christopher on 01/12/18 at 8:36 pm
It seems that in the 60s and up until somewhere in the early 80s there were more music videos filmed in natural or city parks, fields or generally in the countryside. Some honorable mentions are Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights (the red dress version) in the 70s and Stephanie Mills' Never Knew Love Like This Before (Central Park) in 1980.
But I will expose you to something really unknown - Frida from ABBA in 1970:

The Chevrolet commercials 1976-1977 ("That's more like it!") notably feature very beautiful country side views, usually of wheat fields (any info on filming locations?). Do you notice this 60s/70s trend of filming in the country side/parks or fields? Somewhere in the 80s music videos started focusing more on more identifiable urban images with streets and buildings.
Are there any newer examples of this trend, preferably from 2010-2013 or early 2014. And by outdoor videos in nature I mean country side, fields, valleys or parks, not the standard (creepy) forest ones that are so prevalent. And please no country songs as that would be too easy. ;)

This makes sense.
The 1980s was when Americans fully transitioned from a rural lifestyle to an urban/suburban lifestyle.
Small towns and rural areas started to slowly wither away in the 50s, but most still had life to them up until' the 1980s.
Mass growth and urban sprawl are largely to blame for the death of Rural America as a whole.
As far as recent music videos, didn't Lady Gaga film one of her biggest hits in a Nebraska corn field? I believe she did (or maybe it was Kansas) and the song was called You And Me. But that was back in 2011

That is a beautiful song, I listened to it yesterday. Thanks for sharing. :)
I know some English MVs that have some parts take place in the countryside, but almost never the entire thing like in that.
