Donna Summer - Breakaway (Official HD Music Video)

Official US video for 'Breakaway', by Donna Summer, restored to HD.

Donna wasn't available for filming at the time of the US release so the video was made using footage from previous UK videos including "This Time I Know It's For Real" and "Love's About To Change My Heart"

Lyrics:

For too long she was feeling
That her love had lost its meaning
She was looking for a reason
Not to break away
But I don't think she can take it
And just friendship can't replace it
She'll be strong enough for two
Although, it's hard for her to do
She'll break away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, she'll break away

Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And break away
Forget about the bad times (bad times)
Remember all the good times (good times)
Hold your head up high
Ooh, ooh, ooh, she'll break away

It's a secret she's been keeping
It's been eating at her heart
Wish I could find the words to tell you
But I don't know where to start
And when she looks into the future
She sees too many problems
There are so many reasons
She should pack up the past
And break away
Ooh, ooh, ooh, she'll break away

Forget about the bad times
Remember all the good times
Hold your head up high
And break away
Forget about the bad times (bad times)
Remember all the good times (good times)
Hold your head up high
Ooh, ooh, ooh, she'll break away
She'll break away

She'll break away

...this was for the (USA) release of "Breakaway" (Spring 1990) ...when Donna ALREADY 'broke away' from Stock Aiken & Waterman, and wasn't around to film a Video! ...they used the previous (UK) Videos for "This Time I Know..." & "Love's About To Change..." for THIS Video, and used the Tony Humphries 7" single

QPD, Donna Summer. Essa música embalou as rádios na final da década de 80 e início dos anos 1990.

I think Brazil might be the only country where this song became a hit, we still listen to it today.
People from around the world, tell me if I'm wrong, please!

Das waren die besten Jahre die Zeiten der Disco Aera und Disco Queen Donna Summer .

Esqueça os tempos ruins

Se lembre de todos os bons tempos

[LuisFernandez-eeti]

No serious Donna fan would appreciate this rehashed video—it depresses me and raises my blood pressure!

[helenasternberg]

Dieses Lied kannte ich noch nicht, direkt verliebt ❤

[MarcusAndre]

Eu lembro que essa música tocou bastante no Brasil. Fiquei surpreso quando vi na Wiki do single que a música não foi sucesso em outros países.

Goes back to my days of youth, disco dancing, burning the candle at both ends and searching for love in all the wrong places. 😁
