Music video
The music video featured Lewis looking for, and leaving with, a woman in a dance club, with Lewis concert footage spliced in. Portions of the video are filmed at Potrero Hill, a neighborhood in San Francisco.[1] Lewis liked Potrero Hill because it "looked very San Francisco".[1] Actress Signy Coleman plays the woman Huey is chasing after in the dance club.[2] Coleman also appears in the music video for "I Want a New Drug".[3]
Reception
Former band member Chris Hayes remarks about the song, "I don't know why HEART & SOUL sounds so good. Usually we have to re-do all the guitar parts - this time it worked out the first time. I had a Marshall amp in a tiny room, played my Les Paul and it was great!"[4]
Use in popular culture
Heart and Soul was played during a bar scene in season 7 episode 6 of the TV series Homeland.[5]
