Video Notes
"Wrong, another song from Out Of The Cradle, is a humorous look at the underbelly of celebrity. The video, directed by Julien Temple, is a fun romp whose narrative pits an artist who values integrity against his own alter ego driven by baser instincts, cheered on by a boardroom of mercenary executives watching from the sidelines."

Video Notes
"By the time the Countdown video was made, Out Of The Cradle, the album from which it came, had pretty much run its course and consequently, making an involved video for Countdown wasn’t really on anybody’s radar. The video that emerged was done mostly at my house, and feels somewhat home-made. We set up some backdrops, used existing setting in and around my house, and basically made it up as we went along. I don’t believe there was even a storyboard. The Countdown video, with its heavy use of time manipulation and its kinetic sensibility, remains an entertaining, if raw, visual representation of the song."

Video Notes
"Don’t Look Down is the opening track from the Out Of The Cradle album. A few years previous, I had made the decision to take leave of Fleetwood Mac because the creative and social environment had gotten too toxic due to other band members’ alcohol and drug use. Out Of The Cradle was my first solo outing in the wake of that, as well as the first time I’d toured in support of a solo album. The sense of having begun a new chapter is tangible in both the song and the video. Stylistically, Don’t Look Down is an exercise in a sort of musical “cubism”, the shapes of the choruses broken down into facets, much like a Picasso painting. Lyrically, the song celebrates the excitement and potential for growth that exists when one goes outside one’s comfort zone. Don’t Look Down is a celebration of taking a leap of faith. In putting a live show together for the tour, I chose an unconventional format. The band consisted of five guitarists, two percussionists, a drummer, a bass player and a keyboardist. The video, shot on tour in a documentary style, reveals the ten of us in the throes of forward motion, sharing a deeply felt communal spirit and sense of possibility."
