"The Red Strokes" is a single by country music artist Garth Brooks from his album, In Pieces.

As the song starts, Brooks is shown rising out of the floor from a red puddle like its water in an all-white suit and barefoot sitting at a white piano.

At the end of the song, Brooks goes back to an all-white scene, singing "Steam on a window, salt in a kiss/Two hearts have never pounded like this", with the fade out done as red paint (the only shot digitally inserted) runs down the screen.

Vince Montefusco, mechanical & explosives special effects expert, designed and built the hydraulic rig.

According to Brooks on his "Video Collection Volume II" VHS, it took two days to shoot the opening scene alone due to the paint itself.

Brooks noted he was grateful it stopped out because he started having hypothermia due to the paint being cold from having been stored outside the previous night.

For the final line of the bridge, the initial blast of red paint from overhead is done by a fire hose and Vince Montefusco's special effects team.
