Did you know George Michael’s famous “One More Try” video was not filmed on a movie set? They found a real, empty hotel in 1988 for the Faith album.
The vast, vacant rooms and the white sheets over the furniture convey a massive emptiness. It is a story about feeling alone and lost after someone you love leaves.
The lonely man in the video walks through the dead hallways like a ghost. He is trapped in the bad memory of his broken trust. The cold, blue light makes everything look sad and frozen. In one moment, he draws half a heart on a mirror, but then he walks away. He cannot finish the heart.

Fans still talk about how this video showed real pain. One viewer said it is “One of the greatest songs of ALL time.” Many people ask how George Michael was so talented and so handsome at the same time. Viewers agree that no one today can sing from their soul as he did.
The video showed a man giving up on love, like a “foreclosure notice” on his heart. But four years later, a change happened. He took this same sad song to a massive stage for the 1993 Concert of Hope. He did not sing alone in an empty room anymore.
