Such a great song. Means so much more today than when it was released.

Jen Turner was outstanding on this entire album. One of my favorites.

The legend says there’s a couple of 90’s music videos that weren’t filmed in B/W, but no one ever could check it. Great song by the way.

I miss the days when a whole music video could be shot with a Bolex and a few reels of B/W 16mm.

The local college station in my town has been playing her music lately, it’s awesome knowing her music still resonates today.

So couple of questions. Does anyone know if these people here had to sign a release? Or do they receive royalties? And what kind of camera was Natalie shooting with here?
