It's a story. A Vietnam vet coming back to look for his lover during the war. It's similar to Miss Saigon too.

and it's my fave video ever too!

Or - they were joking when they said they didn't know what it was about. It's pretty obvious to be honest and it would be silly of them not to know what their video was about.

Maybe they don't remember filming the video.

Oh no, sure it's kinda trashy but not their worst. There are some others.

- She don't know me
Although it's kinda nice too, Jon's movement during the singing on the street is so bad....

- Always
...but the "band only" version is nice!

- Misunderstood
oh my Gooood

- All about lovin' you
see above

- IML
Can't stand the couple


About Only lonely.
I like it very much because I think it's the only video in the world where not even the director knows what the story is about.

About TAALS:
I think it's oe of the very few story line vids that really works. I like it a lot. Great pictures in there.

How can you possibly hate the “Always” video? The brunette with the hat, chair and stockings was a defining part of my teenage years… emm, excuse me, I have to go.

Actually, I can excuse Runaway because they were young and dumb and following the vision of the director. I find the version of Lie to Me with the actors to be much worse because it's such crap and they were old enough and had power enough to tell the director that it was terrible and to do something else.
