Breathe
 The '80s pop group Breathe dropped and gained members along the way,
but mainly it consisted of lead singer David Glasper, guitarist Marcus
Lillington, drummer Ian "Spike" Spice, and bass guitarist Michael "Mick"
Delahunty. All the guys were childhood friends attending the Yately
School in London, England, together.
Before Breathe, some of them formed a six-member group called Catch
22. After school was finished, the group dropped a couple of members,
and soon became what fans know as Breathe.
In 1984 Breathe began working on a few demo tapes. Some of the tunes
made it to Siren Records, and the young men landed a recording contract.
After releasing a few singles, the group completed a debut album, All
That Jazz, in 1987.
"All This I Should Have Known," "Don't Tell Me Lies," and "Any Trick"
are some of the tracks on this first full-length release. "Hands to
Heaven," Breathe's biggest hit, was also on this debut album.
The hot single climbed the charts in the United States in 1988, and
later gave the group its first big hit in the United Kingdom. There were
a couple more albums, How Can I Fall and Peace of Mind, and a few more
singles, but by 1991 the fun ride through the '80s was only a memory,
and so was Breathe.

Hands to heaven
by breathe
As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving...
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Repeat chorus
Morning has come, another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye, goodbye...
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Repeat chorus |
