AVeryGagaHolyDick 27,797 Posted May 9, 2025 Author Share Posted May 9, 2025 (edited) The music video is SOOOOOO underrated. I know we were used to GrandGa at the time but the video is visually striking, unique and it fits the song perfectly. And her look. Her makeup. Her wig. And Clarence on the stairs. Early MAYHEM vibes real strong. Edited May 9, 2025 by AVeryGagaHolyDick 7 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVeryGagaHolyDick 27,797 Posted May 9, 2025 Author Share Posted May 9, 2025 “I went on set to shoot this video with the amazing Clarence Clemons. He is by far one of the most influential people since my childhood. His saxophone on all of Bruce Springsteen's music was the soundtrack to many nights with my mom and dad. Shooting this video together was a turning point for me and my life and my career. And in this video I'm dancing on the fire escape of my apartment. Now that fire escape looks exactly like the one that I used to dance on all the time when living in New York City. We let one window red and one window blue. So, those windows: the blue represents the beginning and the red represents the end. And I am there dancing in between, somewhere in between life and death, somewhere in between heaven and hell in the Purgatory of life... on the edge... with you...

Keeo 502 Posted May 9, 2025 Share Posted May 9, 2025 This makes me so nostalgic and a bit teary-eyed. BTW era was such an important time in my life and I followed her every move. It's such a great feeling to relive some of those feelings with Mayhem. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creyk 18,086 Posted May 9, 2025 Share Posted May 9, 2025 People often wonder why is this song so forgotten. The unmemorable music video is one of those reasons. The other is the length, and the placement on the tracklist of BTW. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not stream as highly as the others but it's absolutely one of her staple songs I just wish that full ending would be performed live some day 🥀 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDreamer 82 Posted May 9, 2025 Share Posted May 9, 2025 TEOG is one of my all-time favs, and there's something extra special about the song when she's stripped back with only the piano. It's absolutely beautiful! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
