Here are some Armond White quotes on this music video:

Erasure Transfigures Despair - The City Sun - Aug 7-13 1991

"Blue, a mood as well as a color, provides a rich, serene motif in Erasure's video Blue Savannah. The song is one of the gentlest in Erasure's catalog of mostly rollicking, up-tempo dance themes. This one has a luxuriant melody - - a peak of Vince Clarke's keyboard work: full of so many arpeggios and crescendos, it achieves a genuine, if campy grandeur - - sort of as though when Liberace died, he sent pity and best wishes back down to earth."

"...Instead of literalizing the lyrics, director Kevin Godley portrays the song's mood. The setting is a garagelike sound stage first seen on the exterior, from above, as a blue hand (centered in the shot) slowly approaches the ground and moves forward, inward, as one long, smooth gesture—a reaching touch."

"Godley's zephyr-light hand and camera movements suggest Fate: Erasure is first encircled, then slowly painted blue. The color and the mood amplify each other in mythological tableaux (video age Maxfield Parrish with a nod to the body art in John Boorman's Where The Heart Is)."

"The non-explicit subtext is, of course, mortality and AIDS. When the duo is fully tinted blue or their bodies dotted with tiny, gold amulets, flowers and cherubim, the 'decoration' looks like a psychedelic depiction of Karposi's sarcoma lesions..."
