Natalie Imbruglia - That Day (2001)

The unreleased video for "That Day", the lead single of her second album, "White Lilies Island", released in 2001.

10 years on, and with thanks to cozenimus, I finally get to see the original discarded video for Natalie's brilliant That Day.

I can see why it was reshot though.  It takes away from the song.  The official video is just that bit more, um, iconic:

Now if only she'd go back to making music, instead of faffing about on the Aussie X Factor and going shopping with a rascal.

Belinda Carlisle - Leave A Light On (1989)

Carlisle's follow-up to the success of Heaven on Earth was Runaway Horses of October 23, 1989. Imagery of mythic centaurs and green earth, accompanied by a sensual photo by famous photographer Herb Ritts, replaced the previous album's celestial globes and sky cover and the album hit #4 in the UK and #37 in the US.

It's no wonder that there was a period in my adolescence when I was obsessed with Belinda Carlisle. It would have lasted longer were it not for Ms Audrey Horne.

The Belinda era probably peaked with this track. She's never looked better than in this video and as for the single cover, oh yes. Probably my favourite Belinda song.

With hindsight it sounds like typical late 80's over-produced power pop.

It's also why it still sounds brilliant.
