@Annatizadell i really dont know, i think with one of the camera people but was paul talking with lee? because lee was far away all the time, he only came at the end of the song :S :l..
Lee Harris (drummer) and Paul Webb (bassist), I believe. Love the vid. Not like so-called "musicians" these days with their out-sized egos. MH typically hated making music vid's so any footage is to be appreciated.
Great tune. Very unconventional presentation, especially if you compare it to other music videos of the day. A lot of their work still sounds fresh and unique even now.
I like this much better than take 2- TonM, I agree with you! Its a bit more raw, and the beginning is interesting. The only thing I don't like is how the power lines interfere with the beauty of the countryside... maybe that's why they did a 2nd take? I don't know! D.
I never really liked this song but I have been playing the Greatest Hit album at work this week and know I really dig it, just took me 25 yr. Still think "Life's What You Make It" is still the best.
Great song! They made and released a second video of this (I see it's posted too), shot at the same site, looking virtually the same as this one. Wonder why they did that? Both versions though are terrific.
Where is Mark now? Anyone know? Thanks-

Exaclly one week after I finished my "O" levels. I have such vivid memories of this song and that time it's almost painful.
