I’m stunned that you’ve reacted to this - it’s so outside the mainstream and almost completely forgotten, but it captures the feeling of tortured longing perfectly. I think it’s a great song.
stunned ? get yourself checked out .. it reached #8 in UK singles .. so a long, long way from non-mainstream pal
@@FirstNameLastName-hahaha I'm taking about the mainstream today, not 40 years ago. Pal.
It's a fantastic song
@@robinjohnston24 , je n'ai jamais oublié cette chanson entendue la première fois en 81 !!!
@@jeanpaultomolillo2821Moi aussi, c’est tellement génial, même aujourd’hui
Love how you overlooked one of the best sax solos ever recorded lol
From the film 'Breaking Glass' - well worth a look - as the track 'Breaking Glass' is well worth a listen. Hazel O'Connor is a massive talent who has led an interesting life to say the least, still writing, recording & touring all these years later. She is at the moment recovering from a brain bleed but says though progress is slow she is going back on the road.
Other stand out tracks of hers include 'Writing on the Wall' 'D-Days' & 'Give Me an Inch'
Thank you for sharing that jockeylad. I wish her well with her recovery.
Don't forget the song Blackman
❤
Listen to it again, Asia, whithout the disturbing scenes from the movie. The song is GREAT!!!
The Sax solo is probably one of the best ever recorded in my opinion, the film is set some 40+years in England at at rebellious time. The music for outways the film, ps the Sax player is Wes Magoogan.
This song was released in 1981, when I was still learning about love and relationships. (I met my wife the following year.)
I always say, if this song doesn't touch something in your heart, you've never really lived.
In the film Breaking Glass, Hazel plays Kate, an aspiring singer-songwriter with anti-establishment views. Phil Daniels is Danny, a would-be promoter who puts together a new band for her (called Breaking Glass). They eventually get signed by a record company who then force Danny out. They see Kate as more marketable than the rest of the band which causes problems and ultimately leads to her having a breakdown. This is all set against the backdrop of late 70's Britain; one key scene features the band encountering trouble at a Rock Against Racism concert.
It was made in 1980, but yes basis in the late 70s. Dodi Al-fayed son of Harrods old Owner Mohamed and who died with princess Diana financed the film. Hazel O'Connor wrote all the songs and most of the dialogue. It's really sad that the film ended up being the blue print for her career
Pretty much how the amazingly underrated Hazel O'Connor's actual life played out. Such bitter sweet irony.
This is one of my favourite songs. Reminds me of my childhood.
Such a Brilliant song and artist !!! Saxophone is 🔥🔥...the film she starred in was breaking glass and this song was in it :)
Goosebumps, goosebumps, goosebumps... GOOSEBUMPS' CENTRAL!!!
Classic!! Grew up with this sax solo . We were so lucky .
I loved Hazel O'Conner and saw her once in concert after the release of her 2nd album. The film is call Breaking Glass and she wrote all the songs for it. Its about a young rock/punk singer who wants to record her music. The man in the video discovers her and mentors her. But when she become more successful he get's pushed out by the record company as they want her to produce more commercial stuff, which is not who she is and he knows it. She has a breakdown with all the pressure. Its a great film. There is one scene where she confronts a group of Nazi style rasists and sings a song called 'Blackman' which at first sounds racist in itself until you listen to the lyrics.
that was one of the greatest songs ever,so much talent came from punk in the UK,this was one of my favourites even though I wasn't a fan of her,she definitely was a dramatic artist which is real....
i'd be terrified as an artist if I knew you 2 were dissecting my art
Amazing artist, amazing song, thanks for reacting.
This is a fabulous song i just close my eyes when i listen to this song
The most chillingly beautiful songs of my youth ❤
How many times can you stomp on a sax solo?
A forgotten masterpiece with the longest saxsolo in rockmusic...a sublime saxsolo.
One of my favourite songs of all time. A very haunting sax solo. Great film too!
That 'robot' was her and you see it in "Eighth Day" [another great song of theirs/her's].
I'm an original 'punk rocker' [I'm 62] and later New Wave/Goth. So many great songs/groups from that period!
Love watching peoples reactions to this song absolute classic watched it as an eleven year old never tired of hearing , watch the film though it’s on YT
This is by far the best song from the 1980 British film 'Breaking Glass', which is by far the best thing that Hazel O'Connor did. Sad that it came at the beginning of her singing career and everything in the decades since has been an anti-climax, especially as, for contractual reasons, I don't think she got much money for it.
The film itself reflects the drabness and disillusionment of Britain at the end of the 1970s. Hazel O'Connor plays the lead role of Kate, lead singer of a group who initially struggle with the hardships of being obscure and unsuccessful but are then very successful, but find that brings different pressures and demands compromises that they also struggle with. The film ends with Kate recovering from a nervous breakdown.
'Breaking Glass' was released in the USA in a shortened form to give an artificially happy ending that left plot points unresolved, but I don't know if it ever made much impact in the States. In Britain, professional critics were at best lukewarm, but some audiences loved it and it still has a following.
'Will You' is still played sometimes on the radio in Britain. In the film itself there is no complete performance of the song, but different parts are played in different contexts at different points.
As someone else pointed out here, Dodi Al Fayed, later famous for being the boyfriend of Princess Diana who died with her in a car crash in Paris, was instrumental in getting 'Breaking Glass' made, in financing it and working on it as a Producer.
Wow! Stunned to see this in a reaction video! This is from a very obscure early 80's British Film w/Hazel O'Connor. It ran on HBO in the early 80's. Great memories! Thanks for doing this.
Breaking Glass was an enjoyable movie with a dynamite soundtrack. I hope you get to sample some other tracks as well. The saxophone is played by Wesley Magoogan. It is one of the best saxophone solos I have ever heard.
I went to see Breaking glass in 1980 when I was twenty ...the best sax ever !
From the movie Breaking Glass, the robot suit is from the song 8th day, which is about machines taking over.
On a side note, this is the song that made me take up the saxaphone, (with a little push from Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street).
I saw this in theatre on 1980 in Brussels. A perfect example of my generation Ñew Wave Post Punk!
Guys that was a disappointing reaction for me. You focused solely on the video and totally missed what is one of the great saxophone solos in pop music of all time. Just gorgeous.
They missed the sax solo? Are they deaf?
Hazel starred in and wrote all the songs for this film
Amazing singer very underrated
She was very much rated in her time…
Punk makeup on Hazel. Powerful tune and the movie "Breaking Glass", is worth watching. A different kind of love song that has stuck around! Cool reaction!
Oh my goodness ,this proves you two human beings are the best ,to play tracks like this simply blows my mind , good lord ,love and respect guys 👍🏾👍🏾🔥💎💙💙🇬🇧
I love the music and the song, It has like a semi Punk vibe :)
Watch it again with no video. Listen to what she's saying. Is he going to stay the night or politely say goodbye. She moves a little closer not really knowing quite what to do. She's all fingers and thumbs. (UK expression for fumbling about) she wants him to bear his soul, gather her to him and make her whole. .... This is an epic and overlooked love song or losing her virginity song. If he doesn't politely say goodbye. And that Sax is awesome.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and The sax played by Wes Magoogan is top notch. I don't thing they really got what the song was about or appreciated the music. Can't please everyone.
I strongly urge you to have a listen to the entire album "Breaking Glass". This was one of the slower songs from it but the album is awesome. Thank you for reacting to it.
If this make-up freaks you out you might want to give Toyah a miss!
Give her a miss anyway, regardless of make up.
You should try The Eight Day also from this film
The movie is Breaking Glass, it is available on UA-cam
Great that you have reacted to this classic. I think you're the first to do so. Thank you. Best wishes from the UK.
I was a teenager when this came out and blew my mind. Punk undertones with jazz class just class. The film has a sub plot of a love story that pulls you in but the real story is about corrupt businesses manipulating music and life to control the people and she fights against the control.
This is a masterpiece from the 80s the words the delivery and the sax are superb
try 8th day. brilliant and alarmingly prophetic
breaking glass is a great 80s english movie. so many good songs, 8th day, black man, big brother and my favourite if only
A snapshot of 1979/1980 England.. The early days of New Wave music.. You're unlikely to get it like we did (it's not your fault lol).. There's another really good song from this film you ought to listen to and you'll maybe get the idea of the film... Think you were too distracted to appreciate the music unfortunately.
The entire album is a movie called Breaking Glass and the sax solo is one of the all time best!
Absolutely iconic 👏 Toyah Wilcox and Hazel unforgettable!!
It's similar to the film The Rose, the sad breakdown of an artist
So many good tunes from Breaking Glass. 👍
The films called Breaking Glass and was massive in the UK it came out in 1980 and it's a story about getting a band together and the rubbish that happens to the artist once they sign a record deal.
The film was from the punk era
Post punk came the New Romantics, loved dressing theatrically with loads of make up- boys and girls
This song is from '81, but is really timeless.
The movie was a low budget b movie called broken glass about a fictional band hazel O'Connor stars as the lead singer
Uk punk rock it was the youngest Rebelling against society late 70s early 80s
I see that this is a year old but, the movie is an 80s London punk movie. Sort of, but not really, a punk version of The Rose. It's an amazing movie if you can find it, but the ending has been Americanized. I've never seen the original version and it costs about $100. to get a copy of it.
Guys, this really is one to just listen to and forget the movie and the video - unnecessary distractions.
Wow, two people just listened to a great piece of music with their eyes lol
The track is from the movie 'Breaking Glass'
You should watch Breaking Glass.
Its the soundtrack to the film breaking glass
It's from the film 'Breaking Glass'
You need to see the film ‘breaking glass’
So the story tells the story of an up and coming band and the singers relationship with their manager. As they find fame, she struggles with how its changing her life. Finally as the band play at an anti racist rally, someone is stabbed right in front of her and it sends her over the edge. It perfectly captures the music and political situation in the UK at the end of the 70s and early 80s. The political nature of the music scene, the fight against racism and the controlling nature of the music industry. Its very British, but you should watch it. It would combine movies and music.
Its a Love song Guys in the Punk era you either fet it or you dont its aboute the movement the connection the experience the generation the passion of life not just love and breaking glass is the movie and also need to listen to more of hazel and her band he seemd to enjoy more than her but no it's also aboute the night and falling in love it's a British thing also not to say American s cannot enjoy i love everything shes ever made underated artist but if you prahaps watch the movie in your own time enjoy im curious to know if you will seek and watch the movie also now iv been asking for reaction to her work for ages
Did not expect to hear Hazel o connor,
Her best known song would be 8th day, kinda like 2525 or supernature.
You need to check out hazel O'Connor 8th day
You need to watch the film.
If you want to know about the face paint watch "Hazel O'Connor - Eighth Day" I think you will understand then
Aw I Loved this song. Did you give Eighth Day a go for contrast?
Yep you don't stop the sax solo😮
Takes me back to my teens
You need to watch the movie called Braking Glass, she wrote the script and the songs for it. It's about how the music industry s**t on people. Which acted out for Hazel in real life after making the movie, it's based in UK during the late 70s and the skinhead era. From Steven in Uk
P.S. Hazel O'Connor was head of her time when it came to race relations. Watch the film *BRAKING GLASS*
This is class...
Video reaction or music reaction?
Closing your eyes might help.
With Claire Hirst on sax live.... WOW! 😮😭💖
Hi Asia & BJ, having watched the Terminator films, I think you are ready to react to (Eighth Day) the song related to her costume @ 5.30. :)
Look more closely. Face reaction, hand over her shoulder scene. Great song
WOW!! you completley ignored th sax solo
Do 8th Day!!
you guys need to get to some Deftones like Change or digital bath
It's a perfect example of the video killing the song.
The song is out of sync with her standing at the time as a poster girl for the Punk Rock movement. Clips from her break out film while doubtless providing ready footage when the song was released have nothing to do with the song itself and obviously just confuse matters.
I have always interpreted the song as the period of tension at the end of a date evening when the singer is wondering whether her date will stay the night or "just politely say goodnight".
👌
Americans .....😢..no world culture .... stomping all over best sax solo ......
How old are you? 70s/early 80ss uk punk scene,that why she looks like that,taken from a Film,but...............saying no more🤬
All time great song. All time great album. All time great film. All time great Hazel.
This song is wasted on the pair of you, you are both too ingrosed in the video to actually appreciate the song itself.
I've always liked this song but this is the first time i've seen the video and to be honest i'm kind of shocked by Hazel looking like the Joker. A bit too distracting for me. :o
Love watching peoples reactions to this song absolute classic watched it as an eleven year old never tired of hearing , watch the film though it’s on YT
