Synopsis

Level 42 perform "Lessons In Love" inside a surreal construction zone, where scaffolding, machinery and unfinished structures surround the band. As the performance continues, workers assemble a large bridge around them, creating a sense of constant movement and progress. Industrial imagery, wide studio shots and stylized effects give the polished pop-funk track a striking visual setting. The video remains focused on the band's performance and the gradually completed construction project rather than developing a conventional narrative.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was released in 1986, the same year as the single. The song later appeared as the lead single from Level 42's 1987 album "Running in the Family."
  • The fictional work site and its bridge-building concept are the video's central production device. The band appear to perform while the set is progressively assembled around them.
  • Contemporary European music-trade coverage reported that "Lessons In Love" was the most frequently shown music video on European television during 1986, ahead of Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer."
  • The clip was produced under the AWGO banner.
  • The video was later included in "Family of Five," a 1987 UK-only collection gathering the music videos connected with the "Running in the Family" era.
