My first Concert at St George’s Hall Bradford just after her film released Breaking glass , This song is timeless

[@lawrencetuck4905]

This has got to be one of the greatest love songs ever.

[@thedaddyhastings7704]

The saxophone is absolutely amazing

[@davidredding1988]

I watched breaking glass as a teenager. It blew my mind how accurate it represented our generation. You forgot they were actors breathtaking. You drink your coffee and I’ll sip my tea 🙏🏽

[@Dazz24ler]

I truly belive that most of the 80;s songs, if were put into todays charts they would almost defo get to number one.

[@Fotheringhay]

The song just came up from KZbin whiĺe I was reminiscing. Hazel O' Conner and what a magical sax performance. It sends shivers through me. Makes being 61 years young feel great 👍

[@garryheywood1]

This is an epic song, one of my favourite songs ever, and that sax solo! Not one of the best but THE ABSOLUTE BEST sax solo in the history of the world, or at least thats my opinion, hope ya'll agree ! Oh yeah and for all you lovers of the saxophone there is also a brilliant solo on the sopprano sax at the end of sting's an englishman in new york, check it out you'll be glad you did.

[@andyt5559]

BAKER STREET IS UP THERE! AT THE TOP! BUT THIS GOES THAT 1 STEP FARTHER! I play guitar an expressive instrument yes! But this takes things to another level! the lyrics Simple but eveyone been there, Hazel's delivery is fragile, emotive, passionate and flawless! but the sax is AWESOME! A WHISPER TO A SCREAM THE SLURS FROM 1 NOTE TO THE NEXT, BUT ITS THOSE PAUSES IN THE ORIGINAL RECORDING THAT NAILS IT! 1 AMAZING SONG! PERFORMED TO PERFECTION!

[@garryheywood1]

@@andyt5559 I couldn't agree more.

[@bigsilewis3660]

Ot was used on the TV show Lifeboat

[@anthonydickinson6433]

Simply Wow‼️👍. Transported back to the 80’s✌️

[@jojojacques810]

Great film, great song!!! I was 6 at the time this film was released and I remember it vividly!! Always loved Hazel even though I was a mere child, I was an old soul for sure!! 🙏❤️

[@lawrencetuck4905]

Your so right, loved the movie all the songs are classics

[@janetheywood4300]

What an absolute bangin tune, surely one of the greatest sax solos of all time, makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, brilliant stuff, you just can't touch it. 👍

[@Ouch.]

This reminds me, I have 2 or 3 Hazel O'Connor albums tucked away somewhere; she was Brilliant!

[@MikeHayes-p5r]

That Sax gets me everytime brilliant

[@Shab-tn8bx]

You will NEVER hear a Saxaphone solo anywhere near as good as this .. By far the best Sax player at the peak of his ability ever recorded. True tallent manifest. Thank you❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@darrenpetts9332]

Has been my favourite song since I first heard it in '81. It still moves me to tears to hear it today and there are only a handful of songs that ever have achieved that. No other song has ever captured that moment of imperfection and uncertainty so well. Thank you Hazel for this wonderful thing.

[@Nogin1972]

Love the movie, Breaking Glass. So many great songs

[@carolecochrane8173]

I'm here this song is so wonderful, I first heard it when I was 12yrs old. Time has whizzed by so fast. I liked hazel so much better than toyah. Then I turned into a teenager and got obsessed with Duran duran. 😁

[@mraidymaddful]

I wouldnt like to put a number on how many times I have listened to this and it gets me every time. I am sat here sobbing like a girl yet again, lol. Silly old bugger..........

[@jennywhite867]

This song still gives me goose bumps!! Absolute classic. Beautiful music and lyrics.

[@eamonnhoulihan1366]

Your not wrong mate, loved this song as a teenager and still now at 55 ,what a pure talent Hazel is love her ❤

[@jakethekipper]

Me too. Same age.

[@jimmymckeon3940]

Loved it too!

[@paulshorney3465]

And me!!

[@CosD]

Beautiful. In my 60s now, I remember losing my virginity to this song with a beautiful young lady. I was young then too 👍🏼🙂👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@staffsyeoman]

Still one of the best love songs ever written.

[@servalan65]

One of the best love songs ever.

[@servalan65]

I'd agree Mr Beeblebrox.

[@tonyball7323]

It was an era of music and life.It was a privilege to be living the dream then

[@keithgray5525]

Agree, 100%....I watched the movie when I was young on one of the movie channels, they used to play it all the time. great movie too!

[@suilvenmountain2395]

Blake's 7?

[@peternicklin2693]

and it never appears on any love albums, why?. that sax playing is up there with the best of the jazz greats.

[@burney-m]

I was working in a garage back in the early eighties and used to listen to this on Radio 1 three or four times a day, and I used to stop what i was doing until it had finished. The sax is always so hypnotising. 40 years later, and it is still so hypnotising. Super awesome doesn't even cover it !!

[@johnboluski-zl1qn]

Jesus, I a stiil alive 52 or 53 years on from first hearing this. Still rocks!

[@johnboluski-zl1qn]

Oops, John. A wee mistake. It's your age to blame. It was 42 or 43 years ago. Just a decade out!

[@marcdavies5810]

The sax just takes it to another level. Get lost in it

[@TheCodger1]

Perhaps you are aware of this already??? Wesley Magoogan - sax on Will You In the 1980 punk film Breaking Glass, a succession of knowing glances suggest that there might be more to the relationship between Hazel O’Connor (Kate) and Phil Daniels (Danny) than that of manager and singer. Simmering emotions finally erupt when - her voice all a tremor - Hazel starts to sing: “It’s getting kinda late now/ I wonder if you’ll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now/ Or will you just politely say goodnight?” A saxophone plays, and the pair’s mutual affection becomes clear. That sax solo was played by Wesley Magoogan, who played in O’Connor’s band Megahype as life imitated art and the actor-playing-singer became a bona fide singing superstar with several hits including Will You. Cruelly, after he later played with the Beat and Joan Armatrading, Magoogan’s magic fingers were injured in an accident with a circular saw, a harsh fate for someone whose most famous moment moved people around the world to tears.

@@TheCodger1 spot on bud, bass n sax are awesome. 😉

[@BigSkippy1263]

Makes me wish I never put the sax down. I miss it so much. I wish they weren't so damn expensive.

[@sianlewis8675]

Marc Davies same to you pal

[@scudger99]

I literally do get lost in that sax. Not something that happens much these days, so it takes something breathtakingly special to achieve it........

[@bigtony4829]

Hazel was badly underrated as a vocalist ...such a power voice and the lyrics were thought provoking

[@hplovehandle]

@Mark Jones whereas you’re a dreamboat

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Completely agree and a a musician. She was amazing in Braking Glass. Saw it when it released and bought the album immediately. Still moves my soul when I listen to it. A true Gem of the time.

[@geoffsaunders8215]

Who by? I don't remember that.

[@vinceveedal]

I haven't heard this played on the radio for at least 20 years. WHY isn't it played??????????????

[@99thehighstreet69]

It would probably offend someone's sensitivities along the way.

[@Paul_owie]

Such beautiful lyrics and an amazing saxophone love it! absolutely love it!

[@TheVaughan5]

One of the best songs of all time. The term "They don't make 'em like they used to" has seldom been so true!

[@natashagranville6581]

Anyone here listening to this beautiful song in 2023?
