One of their best songs but the video is just okay

"When it's Love" was my introduction to Van Halen some time ago (great radio exposition even today) but the music video is one of the last of theirs that I had the chance.

Usual group performance with tiny bits of actors apearance, with a couple trying to spark some romance, but the dominating presence is from the band members, filmed in blue tones and they're all singing the song. And that's the main reason we're here for, the amazingly written and produced song, one of my personal favorite in everything.

Considering that the video was directed by a future filmmaker, Jeremiah S. Chechik from "Benny & Joon" and "Diabolique", there should be a more cinematic approach to the background characters with some story or interactions with the band. Yet the rock works in a memorable way.
