In this episode of Culture Stroke, Host Jason Matthews comments on Naked Eyes Promises, Promises video and song.

Jason Matthews talks about how the song and video came out in 1983. He says he was in the 6th grade at the time. He says the video was not on heavy MTV rotation like Always Something There to Remind You was. He says the song hit number 11 of the pop charts.

Matthews says he plays guitar and really appreciates the musical complexity and arrangement on the song. He says the bass is kicking, the guitar is funky, and the synthesizer is amazing. Matthews refers to the one key on the synthesizer being held down towards the end of the song.

Matthews states he really remember the image of the lady standing on the pool board and falling off. He also says the video has low production quality and looks cheaper to make than other videos by the band.
