Walk on Water?

I was inspired to look at more music from the late '80s after I wrote my last post, so I did a bit of browsing.  Looked at songs from 1987 and 1988 and came across this Eddie Money classic.  I'm not sure what it is about his songs, but I really like all of them.  His voice is kind of raspy, but I think that is what makes him distinctive.  He also had this kind of rock and roll, working man look.  Not too edgy, just a guy who looks like someone you'd know--someone you'd go to sports games with or something.  I like the whole jeans and blazer look.  Still works for folks today!  It is cool, chic, stylish, and relaxed.  Nothing crazy or pretentious.  I love that his whole band is wearing jeans in the video--or at least I think they are.  The keyboard player and guitar player next to him look like they are both wearing black jeans.  Yup, I remember those.

Anyway.....The video is interesting.  Gotta love "Night Tracks," too.  Does anyone else remember that show?  I used to watch it religiously on my little 13 inch television.  As for this video, I just love watching the band perform and sing together--- "na na, na-na, na, na-na-na-na..."  Perfect!  The harmony is really refreshing, and I admit that I could just sit and watch videos of bands performing all day.  But, alas, there is another character in the video.  It is a woman--a scorned woman.  She is angry with someone--someone we never see.  But, it is pretty clear from the lyrics.  A man is singing to a woman who feels cheated, hurt, and upset.  He screwed up a few times--it's alright.  Does he have to walk on water?  Find some way to prove?  If he could walk on water, would she believe in him?  His love is so true....  Well, maybe he does.  The woman in the video is pretty upset.  Not sure why she is always in a swimsuit.  Guess it has to do with the whole water thing.  I'm not a fan of the skirted, ruffly swimsuit, but that was very '80s.  I'm surely not a fan of the white shorts in the video that kind of look like a diaper.  Not certain what's going on there.  She just is yelling and angry through most of the video, which is sad in my opinion.  They should have just let the cameras roll on the band.  Yup, that would be perfect.  Lyrics, bah--you don't have to follow them for the video, really.  It's alright...  Just show the band :)
