Synopsis

Wet Wet Wet perform the romantic ballad on a stylized studio set, surrounded by oversized panels and projected images from Four Weddings and a Funeral. The band members are shown playing and singing as film scenes, close-ups, and performance shots are layered into the presentation. The simple, polished setup keeps the focus on Marti Pellow's vocal and the song's sentimental mood, while the movie footage connects the video directly to the soundtrack that helped make the cover a defining hit of 1994.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was created as a soundtrack tie-in for Four Weddings and a Funeral, using projected footage from the film rather than presenting a separate narrative.
  • The shoot took place in New York City as a Warner Bros. production. Jim Fealy handled the photography, with Ethan Wolvek as supervising producer and Anouk F. Nora as executive producer.
  • Wet Wet Wet recorded the song in a single day in 1993. Richard Curtis had offered the band three possible covers: "Love Is All Around," Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," and Barry Manilow's "Can't Smile Without You."
  • The recording became one of the UK's biggest chart successes, spending 15 consecutive weeks at No. 1. The band eventually stopped making new copies because they felt the song had dominated their lives for long enough.
  • The song was originally recorded by the Troggs in 1967. Wet Wet Wet changed the introduction and reshaped the track into a more expansive romantic ballad for the film soundtrack.
