You acted like you regretted it (played dead), but you don't have the wounds (the bleeding) to match it. Anonymous from TexasY'all "You played dead, but you never bled." means that you pretended like you were hurt and that you felt bad when you cheated, but you never really felt like that.The song terrified me I thought he killed her but would still love her forever. Lol from KentuckyHonestly for the longest time I thought he meant he choked her to death in the song when he said the hole payed dead but there was no blood.We finally had the hit that our label and we had wanted for years. Gary and Kevin had such different writing and playing styles and it worked so great on 'Keep on Loving You.' Once that song hit radio, it exploded. But then Gary Richrath pulled out his guitar, cranked his amplifier to 11 and started playing along with Kevin. I wasn't sure how our hardcore fans would react to a ballad. You have to remember, up to that point we were known as a rock band and here was this soft song. I remember when Kevin played me 'Keep on Loving You' for the first time I was a bit apprehensive about recording it. I'm talking about divorces and all sorts of crazy stuff. He recalled to Noisecreep in a 2011 interview: "During the making of the Hi Infidelity album, most of REO Speedwagon was going through some kind of personal turmoil.

A few years into MTV's existence, REO was out.īefore REO Speedwagon recorded this, they were known as a hard rock band.

The psychiatrist was this gorgeous model with librarian glasses. He explained in the book I Want My MTV: "Someone figured out that you had to have a hot chick in the video. The video shows Cronin with a hot female psychiatrist. With director Bruce Gowers, they shot four videos in one day, including the clip for "Keep On Loving You," which lead singer Kevin Cronin said "made us look like even bigger dorks than we were." They had the good fortune of being one of the hottest bands in America when MTV launched on August 1, 1981, so the network played their videos, even though they were low-budget affairs. She wasn't there but sheriff's office detectives were.REO Speedwagon was one of the first rock bands to score big with power ballads in the '80s.
