Richard Marx - Chains Around My Heart

This is the one video I ever made where my touring schedule made it impossible for me to weigh in and collaborate with the director on the concept, so I simply had to trust his vision and just show up and take direction. Back in 1992 when we shot it, I really had no idea what the hell it was about. But after all these years, I have to admit that.....I still don't have a clue. ~ Richard Marx

I don't think there is another artist that pours more raw emotion into a song than Richard.

[@cmonhank]

I was a Production Assistant on this shoot, and b/c Richard was not able to travel to Moab Valley in Utah, that's me in the wide shots walking, running down the sand dunes, spreading my arms pretending to be Richard. Somewhere I have a picture of the two of where we shot at the aquaducts in LA. Richard you were a pro and very kind. Thanks for another great story in my life.

I love Richard Marx's songs. For the past 4 months its all I listen to. Sometimes it makes me sad other times happy. It all depends on my mood. Since he first came out in the late 80's, I have always loved Richard Marx.

[@nguyensolomon2762]

[@pevensielavere22]

One of his very best songs in every way. (for me anyway) :-) Thanks for all the music and memories, Richard Marx.

[@justmeonthebeach]

Many years ago, I like this song a lot, and can sing it word for word. And now... I can still remember the lyrics. It is a beautiful song..

[@scarboroughjames7]

This song reminds me of a girl I met when I was in the Navy. The ship I was on stopped in Panama City Panama to take on food stores fuel and new crew members .While we were there I was introduced to a local girl through friends of hers and shipmates from my ship. the day before my ship was to leave Panama City Panama the girl and I were holding each other crying. I should have asked to remain in Panama City Panama. the girls first name is Jenny. and Jenny if you read this I never stopped loving you. You will always hold a special place in my heart Jenny and I wish I could hold you again. Jenny has put chains around my heart. when Richard says the line love is a stranger avoiding me that is exactly how I feel.

amazing song!!!! It makes me remember when I was a little boy coming from the school and I was watching this song from the tv. Best times ever!!!!

[@gilligsantiago6861]

Same.... Love that day..

[@zariqafsha]

This was the song the radio played when I was talking to Richard Marx when he was on air at one of the radio stations in Malaysia during his visit back in the 90s. So whenever I listen to this song, i always remember that particular moment.. wish I have a chance to go to one of his concerts in the near future.. he’s definitely one of my favorite male singers until now..

[@jessicapugh8601]

I love this song. I was a teenager when I discovered who Richard was. Listening to him while most of my peers were into Backstreet boys and Hanson.

[@nguyensolomon2762]

Hi Jessica, how are you doing?

[@guitmeister]

Heard this way back when new, just woke up in the middle of the night (radio on low) this was playing and I was stunned, just sat there and cried, and thought of a (17-year- on & off) relationship since grade 8 !!! and finally just let go and moved on... Thanks Rich.

[@codyy205]

I started listening to this song a few days ago. Masterpiece!

[@mcina001]

Yeah, I never figured out why this single wasn’t as successful as so many of his other songs. It’s vocal genius, still gives me chills almost 30 years since I first heard it.

This song always takes me back to Christmas 2 short months after my mother passed away.Driving in a snow storm up north to the cemetery.Parking roadside cause they don`t plow in there and walking through the deep snow to her grave,digging away the snow to put a wreath on it.Soaking wet i laid there listening to this on repeat on my compact CD player.Missing her so much and I didn`t want her to be alone on her favorite holiday.

[@tysoon363636]

To me, this is the best track of all Richards songs. Why this when lowest in the chart during his prime? People have freaking sucky taste! So underrated!

[@CJ-zb7ng]

+tysoon363636 technically his prime was 87-90. but still great song, this was at end of his chart success

[@xennial80sxberner]

+tysoon363636 -If I recall as a kid, it was the last single off Rush Street in late 1992 or early 93. And by then the 80s soft rock power ballad sound was going away. But I agree with you, I honestly prefer it over his other big ballads (hold on to the nights and right here waiting).
