I associate this song with the Divinyls "I Touch Myself". They were both hits when I started my first sock monkey record store clerk job.

hah! I clicked on this thread remembering my Baptist childhood friends used to play Amy Grant records all the time, and thinking about how, despite this, I was soon listening to MINISTRY..

This isn't as odd as a lot of people make it out to be. I had several Amy Grant albums in my collection at the same time I had Ministry, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Slick Rick, 2 Live Crew, etc. Teenagerdom is all about being scatterbrained.

Every Heartbeat Belongs To You has spent many, many hours stuck in my head. The Baby Baby contingent has always been more vocal, but us Every Heartbeat fans know the truth.
Amy, my red blood runs true blue for you.

Oh! I assumed "Heart in Motion" was the name of the song with that lyric. So yeah, "Baby Baby"! I'd probably remember other stuff from that album if I heard it, but I can recall "Baby Baby" in striking detail. And I haven't heard it in like 10 years.

What the hell is with that huge blue shirt she wears in that video? Was that a thing in the early 90's? Looks like she borrowed it off David Byrne.
― Vinnie, Thursday, 20 September 2007 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link
the heart in motion videos are strange affairs; i think each involves at least one scene of amy in front of a billowing backdrop
anyway i came here to post about how depressed i am that, on youtube, both "that's what love is for" (a great video that is like the best leftover ideas for an annie lennox video) and "i will remember you" (not much of a video but the song makes me cry until i am hyperaware of the bones in my face) are dogged in the comments by a lone anti-amy grant crusader, who has flagged every opposing comment as spam and has somehow accumulated up to 27 thumbs ups, so this person's hateful dogma is the only visible conversation beneath an amy grant video.
i mean, youtube comments occupy the bottom already, but i get sad and angry at this sort of restless, callous condemnation.

in the middle of talking about this on facebook i discovered this arsenio hall performance/interview and wow amy is such a class act. she wasn't going to put "ask me" on the record bc she didn't want to "exploit her friend's experience" but then that friend requested that it be on the record. ;_;

also her coat, generally speaking I don't dwell much on people's clothes but that coat. also Arsenio asking A.G. about the Winans & criticism for doing secular music is a better interview question than I could reasonably expect to hear any interviewer pose to a musician in 2018

I was a competitive athlete in my youth and the male model who starred in her early pop-crossover videos and I were teammates for our regional team that competed at the national level. He came out after high school but I felt it was kinda radical that they cast him in multiple of Amy's (a Christian Contemporary Icon!) videos as her love interest... I think they even tried to suggest that they were off-screen partners as well.
I haven't thought about this dude in many decades but I looked him up and he is still hunky! Lives in Miami now and still modeling.

There are two versions of this video. One version has additional shots of Amy. One where she is in a giant, tall green dress. Another shot shows a black & white close up of Amy in a very retro-mod hair style.

did you get the recent live album from the Lead Me On tour? It's spectacular, and to contrast it with her earlier live record is really something - I like the earlier one, too, young AG has both a clarity of tone that the road sands down and an exuberance she trades for stardom. But the Lead Me On touring band is a wonder and the songs are better.
