Music Video of the Day: After the Fall by Journey (1983, directed by Jessica Scott)


How is Steve Perry going to get over his heartbreak with so many people in his apartment?  There weren’t many singers in the late 70s and early 80s who did as good a job singing about emotional angst as Steve Perry and in this video, he’s at his angstiest.  Not even the sight of the other members of Journey falling outside of his window can bring him out of his funk.  Eventually, even the other members of the band get sick of hearing about his problems and walk out on him.  What is left for Steve to do than to break out some awkward dance moves?

After the Fall was included on Journey’s 1983 album Frontiers and it was the band’s 11th top 40 and their ninth top 25 single.  It was also included on the soundtrack of Risky Business.

Enjoy!
