Early 90s Music Flashback: I Swear I Left Her Safe and Sound

Richard Marx. Oh Richard. Please don't do it! Don't cut off those lovely 90s locks! We believe in your innocence! We know that it was that no good sheriff!

"Hazard," one of my and my sister's favorites when we were growing up. Two outsiders find comfort in each other, then the female one ends up dead (of course) and the male is the prime suspect (of course). Vaguely reminiscent of some Angelo Badalamenti/Twin Peaks themes (plot and music), the video for this song is tightly woven with the music itself. I tried this one at karaoke last month and it turns out that the song isn't as powerful without the video. Also, no one in the room recognized it. Thank goodness for the internet; otherwise I'd think that I'd made some of these videos up.

Enjoy!
