Music Video of the Day: I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith (1997, directed by Francis Lawrence)


The video for this song, written for the film Armageddon, was filmed at the Minneapolis Armory.  Along with featuring clips from the movie, the video pays tribute to the real-life American space shuttle program.  When this song came out in 1997, it was inescapable. As with any popular song, there was a backlash but I defy anyone to get the chorus out of their head after they hear it.

Director Francis Lawrence directed music videos or just about everyone before starting a career as a feature film director, directing Constantine, I Am Legend, Water For Elephants, Red Sparrow, and the sequels to The Hunger Games.

Enjoy!
