Holds up
This video was released in 1980 in conjunction with the Dire Straits album Tunnel of Love. I recall a Rolling Stone critic at the time praising the album and in particular the song Tunnel of Love but he was critical of the video. I watched the video later on MTV and although it seemed okay I dismissed it too. BUT over 40 years later I see this video was very well done. It holds up when compared to other videos of the era.
The lyrics accompany the video in subtle, figurative and symbolic ways. You need to pay attention to notice. This was not well done in music videos then. Typically a hokey story line was interspersed with concert footage or scripted studio concert footage.
A rare gem in music video history. Time does indeed tell.
