The official promo video for the Rolling Stones’ 1994 single “Love Is Strong“. The track was the first single from the 1994 Grammy award winning album, Voodoo Lounge. Written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, and produced by Don Was, the song features Mick Jagger on lead vocals, harmonica and maracas, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood on electric and acoustic guitars and backing vocals, newcomer to the band Darryl Jones on bass guitar, Charlie Watts on drums, and Bernard Fowler and Ivan Neville on backing vocals. The video was filmed in New York City and directed by David Fincher, who went on to direct Fight Club, the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the Social Network (for which he won a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for best director) and the Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which garnered him an Academy Award nomination. Robert Duffy edited the video at Spot Welders in California, USA, and received the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (NARAS) award for Best Music Video (Short Form) in 1994 for his innovative editing techniques. The directors of photography were Gary Waller and Mike Trim, and Fred Raimondi is credited with special effects, who were all nominated for MTV Video Music Awards in 1995 for their work on the video. Love is strong And you’re so sweet You make me hard You make me weak Love is strong And you’re so sweet And some day, babe We got to meet A glimpse of you Was all it took A stranger’s glance It got me hooked And I followed you Across the stars I looked for you In seedy bars What are you scared of, baby It’s more than just a dream I need some time We make a beautiful team A beautiful team
