Corey Hart - Dinosaurs (Official Music Video)

No Mud, No Lotus
The art of happiness is also the art of suffering well.
– Thích Nhất Hạnh

I’m very grateful to still have the opportunity of sharing my music with the world. I’ve battled against debilitating chronic back pain since injuring myself in a sports trauma eighteen years ago. In plain talk — my spine has been fucked ever since.

My cervical vertebrae were fused in a surgery years ago, but I've rarely discussed, publicly or privately, my ongoing plight with this wickedly pernicious of enemies. In 2021, I herniated three more disks. One year later, I wrote “Dinosaurs.” I felt it was important to release this single.

We all "pay the ransom" in some way, shape or form. No one gets a free ride in life.

I hope the song inspires reconciliation, courage, and even peacefulness whenever your own "dinosaurs get mad."

When we know how to suffer, we invariably suffer much much less. I remind myself all the time whenever trapped in the "perils of my dark despair."

No mud, no lotus flower.

So…let it roll, man.

Omygoodness…I can’t believe Corey Hart has new music out. I lovvvve his voice so much. Xo

I've been battling pain and chronic illness for a few decades. Finding happiness when you are in pain is one of the most elusive things I've experienced. I hope you find relief. Having loved ones there to have your back (figuratively and literally) is a true lifesaver. Gentle hugs to you, and thank you for sharing this song. ❤

I wish you all the best Corey, it´s a nice new tune. Sunglasses at night or sunflowers during a bright shiny day, we all walk our own path. Greetings from Finland!

I've been a CH fan for 40 years! He looks even better today than then!

[annetteslife]

Still as good looking as he was 40 years ago.

[fredfairchild]

WOW! His voice is still golden, and he looks FANTASTIC.

A musician and an artist . . . a wonderful combo. Outstanding melody and vocals. Enjoyed this! ❤

I was nine years old and on my way to A&E records to buy an album with my allowance. My first time using my own money. It was 1985....it was Boy in the Box. It's a core memory - I remember all of it. I still love this man's music. Always will.

My pain and disability have been teaching me lessons all the time. Things like patients, humility, how recognize misplaced pride, and when to know AND accept that I need help and to receive it graciously and with gratitude. Apparently God saw some things that needed taught to me, and I was too stubborn to learn the easy way.😊

This does not look like a man in his 60s. Man's found the fountain of youth.

So glad I clicked this Song, it brought a light in darkness

[barbkatz]

What a great song and the video is amazing. For over 15 years of my life I live with the worst back pain anyone could ever image. Between all the therapists, pills and tears I went for one last thing! A naturopath! He saved my life and although my spine has not changed I live pain free now and have for two decades. 💙🦋💙🦋

[willyreineking]

Toller Song. Seit Jahren ist Corey einer meiner Lieblingssänger. Die Stimme grandios und ein sehr sympathischer Mensch. ❤

[kellingtonlink]

Definitely another great video (filming is superb!) to add to his already great collection of hits. Thanks for the video. Spain looks enchanting!

[scottprice]

I see he wears his sunglasses in the day also. :)

[pathollingworth]

Great music Corey - home town man - born day before you and loved on the West Island - proud Canadian 🇨🇦❤️

[twocrazyhens]

Really good song! I had both of Corey's albums in the 80's. I was in high school and would listen to those cassette tapes all the time when I went out for a daily run. I wore those tapes out! 😅
