Subject: Who did this music video???
Written By: Izod on 02/10/04 at 10:28 p.m.
I doubt anybody knows this...because I think this was their only video, & it wasn't a big hit song...but it's been in the back of my mind ever since '84. I'm pretty sure the video takes place in a desert, & the group is wearing like white motorcycle suits with the helmets (I'm pretty sure they weren't wearing space suits). They never took off their helmets...even when dude was singing. One dude had one of those synthesizers that you can hold like a guitar. As far as the music goes...I really can't remember too much. The style of the music was kinda like Depeche Mode. I think the song started off with a drum machine, & I think they say something like "To Live A Different Day", or "To Live Another Day" in the chorus.

I think I remember a Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers video that goes a bit like that. I don't know whether it is though.

I think you're right about it being Tom Petty...and they went into this tent thing and they were all dirty b/c of the sand storm. I think it was one of their first videos.
Looked on the internet...the video I found was for You Got Lucky from 1982. Check out this link and see if the vid cap looks familiar.

Here are the lyrics...
You better watch what you say
You better watch what you do to me
Don’t get carried away
Girl, if you can do better than me
Go...yeah, go
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you
You put a hand on my cheek
And then you turn your eyes away
If you don’t feel complete
If I don’t take you all of the way
Then go, yeah, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you
Yeah go,
Just, go,
But remember
Good love is hard to find
Good love is hard to find
You got lucky, babe
You got lucky, babe
When I found you

Aww heck..............
Now I can see it, but I can't think of the band or the song. Why is it I'm thinking it might be the Replacements?

Since it's not "You Got Lucky" (Tom Petty), I have no idea. Sorry.
In a Depeche Mode style...not a big hit...desert... No clue.
I'm sure somebody would catch this video on VH1 Classic or something.
