Billy Dean – Only the Wind
Billy Dean – Only the Wind (1991)
Directed by: Bill Young
Only the Wind is a poignant country ballad by Billy Dean, released on December 30, 1991, as the second single from his self-titled second studio album. Written by Tom Shapiro and Chuck Jones, the song uses the metaphor of a childhood fear of windstorms to explore themes of love, loss, and longing. The accompanying music video, directed by Bill Young, complements the song’s emotive narrative with evocative visuals. “Only the Wind” resonated with audiences, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and number 3 on Canada’s RPM Country Tracks chart in 1992.
