I'm a 62 year young black man! But that don't really matter! The first time I saw them was when MTV first started! I liked her voice and that horn Riff!!!
@Mr.Quintin1959: We're about the same age. I know a lot of "our People" in the states anyway, didn't get it at that time, but I always really enjoyed a lot of the SOS catalogue, and thanks to CD and MP3 and streaming technologies, have never stopped playing it over the years, or had to deal with the ravages of time and replays on old vinyl. A lot of SOS songs were actually deeper and more melancholy than the music lets on, but still enjoyable. In that vein, I recommend listening to "Afterhours" and the both the vocal and instrumental versions of "Forever Blue."
In the late 80's I was introduced to Corinne in a bar in Manchester, she was that beautiful that I could barely form a cohesive sentence. To this day it is still the only time i've been lost for words. God, I miss the 80's so much.
I finally had a chance to Breakout! After 30 years of marriage!!! Thank you swing out Sister. It wasn't all bad, but it just couldn't last. raised three beautiful children and I wish him the best! That was me!!!! Lol
You can't beat the positivity of an 80's song. Everything is cheerful and hopeful. Listening to this song lets me forget how utterly miserable I was in high school at the time.
Yea, exactly I was miserable in high school then too,but like Dad said. They were the best of times,and we arrived to be the best we could at everything we did
To quote a much earlier 80s hit song from the era I was still at school in: "Ooh what fun we had,but at the time it seemed so bad"! I was lucky with the schools I went to,though - the standards were good and the teachers at secondary (high) school were easy-going compared to what most of my peers experienced!
@@mcclift9451 my mother would say if I said I didn't want to go to school " Enjoy school because when you are older, you will give anything for one day back in school. She was 100% right. We kinda took it gor granted..
The year 1987 was literally THE WORST year of my life (it was during my college years). Too long and complex to explain here but suffice to say that during that whole summer I was one step away from suicide (fortunately, I never considered taking it) and during that entire year I was within five steps of suicide. (It does not help that the whole world thinks that that was a golden year in a golden decade--which both were not). This song was one of only two things (along with a three-day family trip) that prevented that year from being an absolute total dead loss and is the only song from that year I can now listen to. Partially it is because, like you said, it is an upbeat and cheerful song. Partially it is because to me it actually sounds like a 1980s cover of a 1970s song (which is the music era I prefer to listen to).
I battled a very aggressive form of breast cancer in 2012 at age 40. I was able to beat it and remain cancer free for 12 years. Annual mammogram came back normal today. I survived 16 rounds of strong chemotherapy, painful surgery, then 6 weeks of radiation. Some days were so hard, but I held on and kept fighting. I am here today through God's grace. This song is so beautiful and brought me to tears. Life is a gift ❤❤❤
She said. in an interview, that she modeled but wanted sing and was told “models don’t sing” Then when she said she sang was told “singers don’t model” ergo her song break out!
It's 2022 and if a song makes you feel great and tells your story it's timeless. I'm 64 and I feel like doing something new and great . I need to hear this song everyday.
At 64 years old now, I’m still listening. I bought the album (It’s Better To Travel) when it came out in 1987. I still have it. It come’s out for a spin every so often.
Felt good and suddenly this song popped in my head this morning, I was 16 in '87, music like this was everywhere, we took for granted what we had, only now I realise how positive and happy this era of music was, it was awesome!
Yo también tenía esa misma edad . Y me recuerda mucho mí pasada juventud. . La calle. Las noches. Y una chica que me gustó mucho y tenía ese mismo peinado que la cantante. ...asu.. .. madre.....😂
I disagree on two counts. (1) it's not safe to say what you said and (2) it's not one of the best songs from the 80s. Not even close. Edited to Add: Check out all the princesses triggered by this comment.

Even though we all need positivity these days, for the things to be positive there have to be fewer things happening around us and in the world. Videos like this capture life impressions. Not real life.
@@StopFearI did not get your point. However, these type of "impressions" as you mentioned is what makes life better. There are and there will always be fewer "necessary" material things around us, but the non material things like these are what makes life worth living
I’m 65, takes me back to the good old days of the 80’s. Young, fit, and carefree. As long as I had a few £ in my pocket to keep my old banger on the road I was happy. Not like today, too much to worry about.
I was eight years old when I heard this song. It was the winter around Christmas. My sister's boyfriend and his brother and friend came over to take us shopping. I got nothing, but I never forgot that memory. This song stuck to me. Every time I hear it, it brings me back to a time when I was happy. I am 46 now, I can't believe how fast life goes by.
Happiness is a state of mind, you’re never too old to find your happiness. Life does goes fast that’s why it is important to live our life to the fullest.
50 + year old crowd “ where ya at? ❤️This was my jam back when I was a mere teen. Always loved this song. It takes me back to those carefree days with not a care in the world!! I miss the good ole days. 🙄 How I wish I could go back to simpler times.🤷🏾♀️
@@timmullens9479 I thought that it might be a synth, But there is a live performance where there are two horns playing that riff it seems. (London 2001). If it's not horns it still sounds awesome though! 😆
The musical arrangement and vocals of this track really stood out for me back in the day when it was released. Smooth, sophisticated and classy. This track has really stood the test of time and is just a special today some 36 years later
There is a fully live multiplayer cover with Amy Bird on UA-cam. It made me appreciate just how much is going on in this song, and how complex the arrangement is. . It's no wonder it is a classic.
I just love this band. The joyful spirit shown by Ms. Corinne Drewery is so contagious, anyone would love to go back to those days. I JUST LOVE THE 80'S!!!
I remember seeing them perform this on one of the Saturday morning TV shows when it was a new hit,and all the group except Corinne being in boiler suits.
@@dnmurphy48 Yes, maybe it's just that being temporal beings, some music subjectively acts "as if" it's timeless if it reenacts the feelings you had in the time when you used to hear it. Somehow making present the past as if disolving time, time-less ...
@@dnmurphy48 The thing that gets 4gotten is. This was another tune in the 80s musical landscape. It got lots of airplay and nobody cared, just let the music Play ▶️.
20代ですが、幼少期に両親がドライブの時よくかけてくれていたのを思い出し、ついに今日曲名を知りました☺️これからリピートしまくります！ I loove this song because it is my memorial song for driving with my parents on weekends when I was a child.
Personally I think nostalgia fools people. The Maggie Thatcher years weren’t great at all, the fashion was terrible and the music was cheesy. In the 90s things brightened up again and while the last few years haven’t been easy for everyone I’m happier to be alive now than I was in the 80s.
Reached number 4 in November 1986. Take My Breath Away by Berlin was number 1 at the time. Other songs in the Top 10 included Kim Wilde's cover of You Keep Me Hanging On,SAW poppets Mel & Kim's breakthrough smash Showing Out,The Final Countdown by Europe (which would go on to reach the very top),Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi,Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles,Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush and Through the Barricades by Spandau Ballet.
Days ago I dreamed about this song that was part of my teenage years in the 80s and I ended up finding it. I had never seen the clip and it only brought me even more good feelings. Beautiful vocalist Corinne Drewery is now a friendly 61-year-old lady.
I had just turned 36 and landed in England in mid August of '86 to teach school for a year in Coventry on an exchange. This song debuted that September. Of all the great Brit pop songs that year this is the one I remember most as it was my break out of my culture and country. England is my second home now.
A rare eighties hit, that featured a wealth of horns in it... This music has stood the test of time. Well written harmonies, and musical arrangements. Fantastic!
I didn't pay much attention to this song back in the 80s but I've rediscovered it lately. I never noticed that the lyrics are so uplifting and encouraging! What a great song.
You watch your gosh darn mouth, Gregory Griffin the Third, twice removed!! I will not allow my disgustingly gorgeous ex-girlfriend-in-law to be exposed to this display of... MADNESS. AbSoLUtE MADNESS
Nostalgia, which takes us back to the best memories, healthy memories, even if melancholic, of our past, has no price but rather value, which asserts itself and is confirmed, in general, by the historical-cultural legacy that prevents us from being and/or to be lost without references to Life!
I’m 20 ( born in 2001), I discovered this group 1 week ago after seeing their name in the comment section of a Basia video. I’m now listening to them non-stop, I will buy their albums on Amazon. ( I even followed them both on Instagram and Facebook lol. ) I really don’t understand why they’re not bigger in popularity, they are soooo underrated. Even if I really wish that I was alive and an adult at this time ( 1987-1989 ), I still consider myself lucky to know about them. It’s nice to see that they are still active, too. If one day they make a concert in France ( more specifically in Paris), I will make sure to be there.
HAHAH such a gem. I'm 21 too and actually, My dad used to play these at my birthday parties when I was little, and ahh such nostalgia and good vibes! Have an awesome day!
Keep the 80's alive my young friends. It's a huge catalog of music though. I grew up then and I still sometimes find new 80's songs I never heard back then. The 90's were phenomenal too as they built on the 80's in large part and took it to a new level, but there's still much to be appreciated about the 80's.
I was 15 when this song come out and I remember never missing Friday night videos and MTV so I could watch THE most beautiful woman who has EVER walked this earth❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why aren't there such great songs anymore today ??? Poor poor world ... But we have our good old CD's at home, right ? We love you Sister Girl for all of this !
I hear you. The song withstood the test of time. Even recently I've heard this song playing on an over the air radio station in my area. I listen to over the air regularly.
I won't say how old I was, but to this day, I thoroughly enjoy a selection from the 1980s treasure trove of great songs-coherent lyrics and beautiful melodies. Nothing like this today.
80s British pop was so smooth, catchy and uplifting. The style council, fairground attraction, sade, swing out sister.. so many timelines 80s British pop songs.
She is as beautiful as she is kind and gracious. I remember chatting to her a few years ago after a concert in Japan, she was so down to earth and friendly as well as stunning. What a great combo!!
I was going through a divorce when this record was out. I would play it over and over as the words really inspired me and gave me hope of a happier future. It worked and whenever I hear this, it takes me right back and makes me feel proud of what I’ve achieved. Love, love love this song 💗
@@scotthall8046 Wish I could claim it ! The expression is properly attributed to the singer/songwriter, Lloyd Cole...in his song called Perfect Skin, one lyric goes, “...she’s got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin...”
Back in the day, how many of y’all replayed the intro of Break Out on repeat several times, before you allowed the song to continue playing ????❤😂 This was and still is one of the best song intros ever!❤
Beautiful song and band. Recently I’ve been listening to Swing out sister quite often because I play this song for my sister every time I meet her. SOS are one my older sister’s favourite bands. She has Alzheimer’s since some years ago and even when she has problems with comunícate what she needs this song always brings her a big smile, joy and even dance every time I played it for her. That makes me always really happy to see her glad. 🙏🏼
Shout out to anybody else still listening to this gem in 2019. I miss the days of great music. Nothing like growing up in the 80's & 90's. I'm thankful!
The facial symmetry, the hair style, and the shape of her eyes.
She's a timeless beauty!
You forgot about her smile
Killer Bob hair.
Let's not forget the composer who wrote the song for her.
She is!

Another reason why the 80's was the best decade for music.
I always thought 2020s might bring back 1980s style music!
Songs of any genre could top the charts during that period
60's music is good too
Movies too
Stop smoking crack! 🤣
Her smile lights up the room. Great short black hair ❤
lights up the universe too
It's certainly refreshing to revisit it with the last decade's obsession for very long balayaged hair with a loose wave.
Feminine beauty unlike today's women
The synth, the big bangles, the sewing machines. My mum, Cath, requested this at her bedside. She died 10th of January 2024. RIP Mum❤️

This was heard all over the place in 1986. It's still a great song in 2024.
Best song since 86

Songs like this will never die and it has that positive energy.

Nice sentiment. 😊 Stay forever young!
When Corrine "breaks out" towards the end of the tune,..looking gorgeous and spectacular,.. it gets me every time. Nothing but feel-good vibes
Corine looks gorgeous in the whole video
Her whole look is so timeless. Her hairstyle, her eyebrows, her makeup. She was so gorgeous 😍
Unfortunately somebody thought that she should wear Olive Oyl's pajamas.
Yeah she was hot as catfish grease.
She's channeling Louise Brooks a lot in this video, imo...
Actually she's so 1920's especially with that flapper girl bob haircut.

Didn't need Autotune, didn't need to perform half-clothed, didn't need to lip sync.
@@cerberus1166 I’m going to assume this is irony.
My gosh! My 80s life! Just hearing these lyrics as an adult! I 💯 percent needed this.
This song is so timeless. What an amazing production. All who were involved should be proud of themselves.
It's a great song and performance no doubt, but it's not timeless. It s very much an 80s song. The instant I heard the opening bars I thought "80s".
@@dnmurphy48 Yes, maybe it's just that being temporal beings, some music subjectively acts "as if" it's timeless if it reenacts the feelings you had in the time when you used to hear it. Somehow making present the past as if disolving time, time-less ...

The thing that gets 4gotten is. This was another tune in the 80s musical landscape. It got lots of airplay and nobody cared, just let the music
Play ▶️.

This song is timeless.
20代ですが、幼少期に両親がドライブの時よくかけてくれていたのを思い出し、ついに今日曲名を知りました☺️これからリピートしまくります！
I loove this song because it is my memorial song for driving with my parents on weekends when I was a child.
This is such a positive, upbeat song and music video. No drugs, no sex, just friends having fun.
I agree with you because I am a qualified lesbian 😊
Cant lie... This was an 80's Classic. Im Here for it Now💯💯
Yes it was I was 7 years old when this came out back in 87😊
Everytime I hear this song I really start to miss the 80's.
Tell me about it ! The FREE 80's !
Right

Personally I think nostalgia fools people. The Maggie Thatcher years weren’t great at all, the fashion was terrible and the music was cheesy. In the 90s things brightened up again and while the last few years haven’t been easy for everyone I’m happier to be alive now than I was in the 80s.
1986 was a great year for hit songs. The list is amazing.
To me it’s really hard to say which year was the best in the 80s because there were great tunes all the time! I miss 80s. ❤️
@Bond Win I couldn't have said it better. 👍🙋🏻♂️
Not sure where u live but here in the US it definitely came out in summer of 1987.
most definitely especially this one 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great year and era for Madonna, Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston...
This is really the perfect 80's pop song.
It was an international hit back in 1987.
@@plawson8577 I remember
You can’t be in a bad mood when listening to it. Instant smile kind of song
Back when popular things were popular because they were good.
yes you're right
A beautiful song. A certified classic
This song is TREMENDOUS! 33 yrs later is still great.
Kenny Jones way better than today’s music!
A timeless beauty.
I never saw this video and the radio stations never said who it was. I honestly thought all this time that Gloria Estefan sang this.
Kenny Jones
33 yrs 😢
Bloody hell.. it just hit me: I’m an old fart.
Wait wait wait... Did you say 33 years?? How old am I?
たまにこの歌が頭にながれる。
当時は初めて聞いた時に衝撃受けたな♪
今でもとても良い大好きな歌です❤️
The 80’s.What more can i say.Great decade to live through.
Corinne Drewery, she's ADORABLE in this video....that beautiful smile, and what a voice!!!
Man, this reminds me of being a kid. It was a huge hit!
Me too, I was nine, fun times #80sKid
Reached number 4 in November 1986. Take My Breath Away by Berlin was number 1 at the time. Other songs in the Top 10 included Kim Wilde's cover of You Keep Me Hanging On,SAW poppets Mel & Kim's breakthrough smash Showing Out,The Final Countdown by Europe (which would go on to reach the very top),Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi,Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bangles,Don't Give Up by Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush and Through the Barricades by Spandau Ballet.

Even though I'm mainly a Jungle / DnB and House head, those are all classics! Nostalgia hits hard!
How stunning is the lead singer?? Simply wonderful and a fantastic vocalist!!
Corinne Drewery, pretty fine for a Brit. 🥹
@@markcinco8405British women are very attractive!
I'm in my mid 30s and this song has been stuck in my head for the last 20+ years. I couldn't remember the name of it, now I've found it!
Same here hahahah i took 16 years to found it since i see in a commercial
Days ago I dreamed about this song that was part of my teenage years in the 80s and I ended up finding it. I had never seen the clip and it only brought me even more good feelings. Beautiful vocalist Corinne Drewery is now a friendly 61-year-old lady.
@Fiona Mitchell you look younger than your age.
Feels good doesn't It. You should listen to their other songs as well. Forever Blue, Twilight World are pretty good. At least I think so.
I'm jealous of my cousins being teens back then. Me, literally an 80s baby.
I had just turned 36 and landed in England in mid August of '86 to teach school for a year in Coventry on an exchange. This song debuted that September. Of all the great Brit pop songs that year this is the one I remember most as it was my break out of my culture and country. England is my second home now.
A rare eighties hit, that featured a wealth of horns in it... This music has stood the test of time. Well written harmonies, and musical arrangements. Fantastic!
Another that features horns is Reward by the Teardrop Explodes.
No horns. It's all on keyboard bro
@@jbmorgan57 horns nevertheless.
Get a different hobby.
Mate the 80s was full of sax
@@letswalkandwalk it was ever-present.
This song is timeless because it makes me feel great it takes me away from all my struggles 🙏🙏
I totally agree.!!!!!
Same
The golden age of music. Please come back to us.
Listened then listening now and will be listening in the decades to come ,
I didn't pay much attention to this song back in the 80s but I've rediscovered it lately. I never noticed that the lyrics are so uplifting and encouraging! What a great song.
You watch your gosh darn mouth, Gregory Griffin the Third, twice removed!! I will not allow my disgustingly gorgeous ex-girlfriend-in-law to be exposed to this display of... MADNESS. AbSoLUtE MADNESS
Lay down the law, shout out for more, breakout and shout day in day out and breakout
This is one record that can truly be labelled 'timeless'.
The 80s ' KILLED IT !!! Best Decade EVER !!!
lol
The best times of my life!
2000's suck in music.....not much better now....
Dwight Terry: ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dead right love it
Nostalgia, which takes us back to the best memories, healthy memories, even if melancholic, of our past, has no price but rather value, which asserts itself and is confirmed, in general, by the historical-cultural legacy that prevents us from being and/or to be lost without references to Life!
The 80s wow!! I want to break
out of 2019 and drop back to the 80s!! Who is with me on that? Lol
same here.Im in the wong Generation.wah
If only we could go back!!!
Let's go!
In case you’re too young to have lived through the 80s, they were the best time in history for pure musical joy and inspiration.
ME!!😁😂
i’m 21 (born in 2000) and i discovered this song at a trivia night. what a gem i love 80s music
I'm 16 but turning 17 this August and I know this song because of the radio.
I'm 22 years old, I discovered this song through a cassette of my dad
I’m 20 ( born in 2001), I discovered this group 1 week ago after seeing their name in the comment section of a Basia video. I’m now listening to them non-stop, I will buy their albums on Amazon. ( I even followed them both on Instagram and Facebook lol. ) I really don’t understand why they’re not bigger in popularity, they are soooo underrated. Even if I really wish that I was alive and an adult at this time ( 1987-1989 ), I still consider myself lucky to know about them. It’s nice to see that they are still active, too. If one day they make a concert in France ( more specifically in Paris), I will make sure to be there.
HAHAH such a gem. I'm 21 too and actually, My dad used to play these at my birthday parties when I was little, and ahh such nostalgia and good vibes! Have an awesome day!
Keep the 80's alive my young friends. It's a huge catalog of music though. I grew up then and I still sometimes find new 80's songs I never heard back then. The 90's were phenomenal too as they built on the 80's in large part and took it to a new level, but there's still much to be appreciated about the 80's.
What an 80’s classic this is indeed! 🎤 🎶 🎵
LOVE the way Corrine moves her EYES when she is next to those guys!!!!!So LOVELY!!!!!!
This is the true definition of sophistication: Classy and beautiful yet sweet, without being arrogant·

I was listening to this song when I was 21 now I'm 56 it's still one of the Greatest Songs of the 80s .You Go Girl Swing Out Sister .😊😊😊
I was 15 when this song come out and I remember never missing Friday night videos and MTV so I could watch THE most beautiful woman who has EVER walked this earth❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Why aren't there such great songs anymore today ??? Poor poor world ... But we have our good old CD's at home, right ? We love you Sister Girl for all of this !
Omg I remember this song coming out fall of 1986. I was a freshman in high school. Good memories 🥰
I hear you. The song withstood the test of time. Even recently I've heard this song playing on an over the air radio station in my area. I listen to over the air regularly.
I won't say how old I was, but to this day, I thoroughly enjoy a selection from the 1980s treasure trove of great songs-coherent lyrics and beautiful melodies. Nothing like this today.
This music video itself is proof of why the 80s is the best decade ever.
True. I was proud to have grown up and lived through it all in that decade.
Certainly true and correct

Was this in the 80s?
All along, i thought this was in the early 90s!😲
@@arnairbalkhobar2929 That's what I thought too! I thought this was 90 or 91.
@@frederickzoreta6617 i google searched it. And it was released in 1986
She was, and probably still is, seriously f'kin gorgeous.
Paul Jürgen-Romrig she is! Still looks the SAME-she still has the same hair cut and they still tour, mostly in Europe and Japan.
I challenge you both to a Duel to win her heart!
She is, she was at my cousins wedding today she’s amazing!
@bill lyons that made me burst out laughing. I like your sense of humor
Love her long time
80s British pop was so smooth, catchy and uplifting. The style council, fairground attraction, sade, swing out sister.. so many timelines 80s British pop songs.
@YvonneSanddrson-nx4hq: Even the names of the UK bands were cool.
She is as beautiful as she is kind and gracious. I remember chatting to her a few years ago after a concert in Japan, she was so down to earth and friendly as well as stunning. What a great combo!!
She’s such a beautiful and classy lady . Her voice matches her beautiful timeless looks.

I agree, party and school disco music for me.
1987 Internationally actually.
THERE'S A REASON WHY GUYS LIKE LIKE ME GETS NOSTALGIC WHEN WE HEAR SONGS LIKE THIS.IT STILL SOUNDS GREAT AND IT BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES.
There are a handful of songs in my 58 years that continue to get better with every listen. This is one of them. It's my therapy song.
We need to have songs that make you feel happy & Euphoric! Songs that make you want to dance & breath life back into your life!
Why?
We are all going to die 😞
One of the greatest hits of the 1980s. A unique and stylish singer. A great production. It makes me happy.
I was going through a divorce when this record was out. I would play it over and over as the words really inspired me and gave me hope of a happier future. It worked and whenever I hear this, it takes me right back and makes me feel proud of what I’ve achieved. Love, love love this song 💗
The modulations in this tune are flawless. What a beautiful tune full of joy.
Ive played this song every time I had a major test, interview, workout etc. This song takes makes me feel like I can conquer the world. Timeless
I fell in love with her all those years ago...she had that bit of Audrey Hepburn in her looks. She’s got cheekbones like geometry....
"cheekbones like geometry" Brilliant. I am going to steal that from you!
@@scotthall8046 Wish I could claim it ! The expression is properly attributed to the singer/songwriter, Lloyd Cole...in his song called Perfect Skin, one lyric goes, “...she’s got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin...”
@@scotthall8046 and eyes like sin! I've always told My Mrs. whenever I heard that loyd and the Cs song I thought of Her.

Beautiful song and band. Recently I’ve been listening to Swing out sister quite often because I play this song for my sister every time I meet her. SOS are one my older sister’s favourite bands. She has Alzheimer’s since some years ago and even when she has problems with comunícate what she needs this song always brings her a big smile, joy and even dance every time I played it for her. That makes me always really happy to see her glad. 🙏🏼
Shout out to anybody else still listening to this gem in 2019. I miss the days of great music. Nothing like growing up in the 80's & 90's. I'm thankful!
Absolutely agree!
Very true💟💟💟💟
Yessss!
just heard it on the radio in a hotel i' m staying at .....what can i say , still brings a smile 💙 80s forever
