Music video

The music video is set in the American Southwest featuring Adams and several women living in the wilderness trying to survive from the thirst, snakes etc. They are all portrayed as giants roaming on the landscape. Also there is a reference to the movie, as a herd of horses is running through the desert. The video was directed by Mike Lipscombe and produced by Michael J. Pierce. Bryan Adams' performance, along with all the actor performances were filmed in a green screen studio in Hollywood, California. The background for the video was filmed in Monument Valley, Utah from a helicopter. The sequences with the horses were filmed at ranch in Santa Clarita, against a large green screen so that the action of the horses could be manipulated in post-production. The total production period, from start to finish, was six days, which is an extremely aggressive turnaround for a project that was all green screen and visual effects. This was necessary to premier the music video at the Hollywood screening of the film Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron.
