Music video
The Baby When the Light music video is about a young girl (played by model Kelly Thiebaud, who also appears in Love Is Gone video) who goes to the beach and dreams about befriending a handsome surfer. While walking her dog, she decides to rest on the beach where she starts dreaming. As the video proceeds, strange things start to happen (girls in bikinis start dancing, an old woman starts rubbing herself with lotion as she watches the young surfer via binoculars). Close to the end of the video, the woman is finally approached by the surfer after exchanging smiles throughout the video. He then invites her to surf with him. The video ends as the girl wakes up from her dream, and finds no one around her but her dog.
The video was filmed on a beach near Los Angeles, California.
