Synopsis

Toto perform "Out Of Love" in an intimate barroom setting while the camera moves through the space and observes people absorbed in memories of absent loved ones. An older man sits lost in thought, while a young woman rereads a romantic letter whose words echo the song's lyrics. The band's close-up performance footage and the patrons' private moments create a subdued portrait of heartbreak, longing and the difficulty of moving on after a relationship has ended.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Out Of Love" was released in 1990 as one of four new songs on Toto's compilation album *Past to Present 1977-1990*.
  • The song was written by Steve Lukather and Jean-Michel Byron, with Byron providing the lead vocal. The video therefore documents a short-lived phase in Toto's history, following Byron's arrival as the band's new singer.
  • The production combines a live performance setup with small, observational vignettes rather than using a conventional narrative centered on one couple.
  • A notable visual device is the extended lateral camera movement through the barroom, allowing the band and the surrounding characters to enter and leave the frame in one continuous flow.
  • The clip was included in Toto's official video compilation *Past to Present 1977-1990*, issued on VHS in 1990 and later released on DVD.
