Beautiful Life (Remix)

Such a fun, dance song!

     

This song went to #15 on the U.S. Billboard Charts in 1995 and was even a bigger hit around the world reaching #1 in several other countries. The video for the song was directed by Richard Heslop, who would go on to direct the band's later video for Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry. The video included computer generated bubbles which whisked the band from place to place. According to music channel VH1 in the United States, the band's record label, Arista Records, insisted the bubbles be removed from the video, leading to a somewhat strange-looking U.S. video, with the band members looking at (and reacting to) bubbles that were no longer there. In Europe, both the versions (bubble video and bubble-free) were released. In addition to the two alternate videos, remix videos were also created, and in 1998 VH1 released a pop-up video version of the video.
