Forgiven, Not Forgotten (song)
Introduction "'''Forgiven, Not Forgotten'''" is a song by Irish band the Corrs. Warner Bros. Records released the song as the second single from the band's debut studio album, ''Forgiven, Not Forgotten'', in February 1996.In the United States, Atlantic Records issued "The Right Time" as the album's second single instead, with "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" serving as the third single.
Music video Just one day after this video was shot, the Corrs were also filming the video for their next single, "The Right Time". However, Atlantic US skipped "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" and did not release it as a single.The theme for the video is dark and brooding, which fits to the more serious lyrics about someone who has committed suicide and left someone else behind. The band is all dressed in black, the girl's makeup is very pale and there is not a lot of smiling. The video itself is pretty lowkey but yet effective in showing the Corrs on a rotating platform with various landscapes appearing behind them. "Forgiven Not Forgotten" was shot in Santa Monica, California.Not only did the platform make some of the viewers nauseous, but Andrea felt seasick after being on the circling stage for hours. The shoot took from about 7:00am to 11:00pm to film.
