Assuming this is indeed the SL video...
I have nothing against Dave, but all those the shots of him really break up the Stevie mood a bit too much for my taste.

Thank you to whomever posted this video. I was pretty vocal about disliking this track but loving the demo. Now, especially after hearing this live at two seperate concerts, I have grown to enjoy this song.

Love, Viv

This sure doesn't look like an official video, and I'm hoping that it's not. It looks to me like a bunch of shots pulled together from the album trailer footage, and I'm hoping that it is. Good possibility, actually - why debut the actual video at the concerts, where the rest of the world can't enjoy it? The people at the concerts are already fans - why would they play the video just at the shows and keep it from people who could potentially be new fans? It's beyond me.

Also, what is going on with Stevie's new accent on her live versions of this song? Trying something new?
"But I don't want to be leaving you here/I can't go up in that room alone" - it's almost hard to bear!
I'm not hatin'. I'm just sayin'.

Thanks for posting this.


I don't like the choppiness of it at all. I know that can be typical theses days for videos, but I can't stand things like that. So many cool things to see, but they don't give you a chance to see any of it, really. If that is the official video, I hope all the other videos are not quick and choppy snippets like this. I could not sit and watch several videos in a row like that. It would drive me crazy.

I don't get the circus stuff, or that crazy haired doll in the cage. Or am I not seeing correctly because it goes so fast? Stevie looks great, from the quick glimpses we get. Not sure about her putting her hands to her head as if signaling sleep at one point, didn't seem to go with the lyrics. idk. It was different, that's for sure.

Still excited about the cd though. And this was interesting to see.

Have to agree with Ghosty on this one. I hope it's not the official video either.. I'll be freeze-framing it through out trying to better see all the cool stuff in it.

To tell the truth going by the trailer most of the videos appear to have odd or campy elements.I mean people jumping in a swimming pool for Wide Sargasso Sea..which promises to be an awesome rock song ..anyway the music is really what matters,

Why wouldn't this be the official video? To me, it is.

I like it. I don't like the shots of Dave in front of the white backdrop. Doesn't fit.


I might get sick of the imagery of this album soon.

[Pyewacket]

Yeah...love Dave. But this isn't Dave's album or even a Eurythmics album. I guess we saw a lot of Sheryl in the Sorceror video, so that gave him carte blanche to appear here, but it does feel pretty invasive and out of place.

[Jondalar]

I hope this isn't official video for Secret Love. It doesn't fit. I don't like it for that. And he uses reverse wayyyyyy too much. I hope he just made this for Stevie so she could use it as a backdrop for the song.

[WildHearted]

The shots of Dave on the white background are way too distinct from everything else in the video, they totally kill any flow it would have.

IMO, the video would be a lot more solid if Dave was in it a LITTLE less in general, and also if the shots he WAS in matched the scenery/mood of the others. He stands out way too much and it's distracting.

I think they did what they could ..even though they did not need to ... not everything in life is and will be exactly as you want it

I think it is the "official" video for "Secret Love". Fits with the rest of the videos we've seen on the trailer. Perhaps the only exposure the video is going to get is on this tour and her solo tour later this year, with the exception of it being released on the documentary.

I get ultra-sick of all the damned slow-motion.

Those are always the worst bits of all her earlier videos -- from Stand Back to I Can't Wait to Rooms on Fire. It's a stupidly overused technique.
