Belinda Carlisle – Circle in the Sand (1988)
Directed by: Peter Care
Belinda Carlisle’s “Circle in the Sand” is a shimmering pop-rock ballad that captures the emotional tides of love and longing. Released in April 1988 as the third single from her 1987 album *Heaven on Earth*, the song was written by Rick Nowels and Ellen Shipley, with production by Nowels. It became Carlisle’s fourth and final U.S. Top 10 hit, peaking at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching No. 4 in the UK. The accompanying music video, directed by Peter Care and filmed in Half Moon Bay, California, features Carlisle amidst coastal imagery, complementing the song’s romantic and introspective tone.
