Music video[edit]
The music video for 'Sara' prominently features actress Rebecca De Mornay and Thomas in a storyline about a relationship ending, on a Dust Bowl farm in the midwest, with frequent flashbacks to what is presumably Thomas's character's childhood and the tornado that wrecked his home and killed his mother. It ends with an aerial shot of Thomas walking down the dirt road Rebecca drove down, with another dust cloud coming in. [3] The music video was set in the 1950s and directed by Francis Delia.
