Sacred Emotion
"Sacred Emotion" is a pop ballad performed by Donny Osmond. The song was the second single released from the 1989 album Donny Osmond. It reached No. 4 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1989.
The song's music video was inspired by a scene in Witness in which a barn raising takes place.[1] Capitol Records video department supervisor Mick Kleber first hired Paula Walker to direct the video, but that version was canceled due to a conflict with a production adviser.[1] Kleber instead hired Michael Bay,[2] who was then an ArtCenter College of Design student, based on Bay's demo reel.[1] Filming took three days, and it took place in the Arizona desert.[1]
A portion of the video was played on The Today Show shortly after filming, before the video was completely finished.[1] Anne-Marie Mackay, who was then the head of music video at Propaganda Films, enjoyed the video clip and Bay was quickly signed to Propaganda Films.[1] Not everyone at the company agreed: cofounder Joni Sighvatsson believed Bay's work to be too "sleek and commercial," and not "cool" enough, but agreed he was technically skilled.[1]
