Ten 80s videos I like - #2 Free Fallin'
I'm a sucker for southern California and it's perpetual sunshine, sunsets, palm trees by the beach, and the mountains. Initially I was going to include Randy Newman's I Love LA but I decided to include this one from Tom Petty. I think the directing and editing suit this song perfectly and give you a view of the area that makes you want to go there. You have the gritty LA streets at the start and close, the big modern mall, palm trees, the flashbacks to the 60s that morph into 1989, and the skateboarding out by the mountains among other imagery. Some of it seems cheezy and dated but watching and listening to this one is more about getting into of a state of mind.
