Ok, I remember seeing this video on mtv a lot but I never remembered the name of the song or the band. It was a rock song video made around '94'-95. It showed various stages of a man's life and the video kept cutting back and forth. When he was a kid he'd have a red towel around his neck and be pretending to fly like Superman. The kid looked around 8-10 year old, skinny, with brown hair. The color palette for these "flashbacks" had a very yellow-orange tone to it. He'd be playing in his backyard (maybe with a dog), and maybe riding a an old-fashioned red bicycle.
As an adult he was a hardcore biker. Long blonde hair, beard, and leather jacket. There were a lot of close-ups of his face in the video that showed him riding his bike in the rain. He was wearing clear glasses over his eyes so that he could still see through the rain. He'd be yelling or grimacing at the camera a lot.
The shots of him as an old man showed him still in the biker clothes, but now he was balding, gray, and walking with a cane. A lot of the shots would show him walking down city sidewalks alone. Sometimes he'd be leaving places like restaurants and movie theaters. The actor playing the senior version was different thn the actor playing the adult version.
I can't remember how the song sounded, but I'm pretty sure it was the typical popular rock sound of the mid-90's, especially with what was playing on mtv (though I never saw the video on vh1). It's not heavy metal, soft rock, punk, or alternative. It was kinda grunge sounding, but not like Nirvana or Pearl Jam. So, post-grunge? I also know it had to be lesser-known band at the time, as they never had another hit. Otherwise, I'd remember them and it'd be easier to find this song/video.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. There are a lot of songs/videos from that time that hold nostalgic value to me, and out of all of them this is the one that I simply could never re-locate.
