Terence Trent D'Arby - Wishing Well

Video- ***
Song- ****.25

Think He Likes Fisting?

Is it just me or does he sometimes look like a dinosaur? Can't figure out why that is. Or possibly something from Fraggle Rock. Song is cool. It's got that quirky sound to it and even though it's just another 80s pop song, it comes across as jazzy and slick. His voice is raspy and he's full of energy which really comes across in his vocals. It doesn't seem that dated to me. At least not like some other videos.
One of my all-time favorite songs from the 80s is his other track, "Sign Your Name" which is like a masterpiece, a classic, and has a very unique sound for an 80s song. Here's an OK remix of it.
Video- I dunno just kinda standard band shots and playing around with the editing. It's a good forum for promoting Terence himself, and it does that well, but it's not really too much more than that. The part where he's doing that schizoid dance just after the three minute mark is scary. Oh, and could a guy possibly BE any more spidery? I don't think so.

I remember when this came out, he was kind of disregarded as a Michael Jackson wannabe, but the fact is that his voice is really excellent, and decidedly different. It's unfortunate that people didn't stick around for more of his music though.
Personally, I was always a bigger fan of "Let's go Forward".
