Synopsis

Bryan Adams performs "Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven" with his band in a barley field under a dark night sky. The straightforward performance is transformed by surreal imagery, including dolphins flying above the musicians. The contrast between the rural landscape, dramatic lighting, and impossible airborne animals gives the romantic power ballad a dreamlike, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Rather than following a conventional narrative, the video visualizes the song's sense of emotional escape and ecstatic love.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was shot in England, according to the official video description.
  • Its most memorable visual is the appearance of dolphins flying over Bryan Adams and the band, an intentionally strange image that matches the song's title and its heaven-themed romantic language.
  • "Thought I'd Died And Gone To Heaven" was released in February 1992 as the fourth single from the album "Waking Up the Neighbours."
  • The song was written by Bryan Adams and Robert John "Mutt" Lange. It reached No. 1 in Canada, No. 8 in the United Kingdom, and No. 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
  • The clip belongs to the unusually ambitious visual campaign surrounding "Waking Up the Neighbours," an album that also produced major videos for "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You," "Can't Stop This Thing We Started," and "All I Want Is You."

Lyrics

Love is forever - as I lie awake
Beside you
I believed - there's no heaven
No hideaway - for the lonely

But I was wrong - crazy
It's gotta be strong
It's gotta be right

Only wanted to stay a while
Only wanted to play a while
Then you taught me to fly like a bird

Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven
