• Official Music Video (Colour Version) • HQ Audio • Subtitle Lyrics Option • Standard Volume Level • Lyrics Transcript Provided Below • This video contains optional subtitles for the lyrics, and these can be activated and deactivated by simply clicking on the "CC" button beneath the video. This is the colour version of the official music video. The version featured on the band's official YouTube channel is black-and-white, and is simply a black-and-white version of this music video. Here is the link to it: https://youtu.be/IIOJdMdS56k Please be aware that the audio quality of that video is not as good as that of my video. I do not know why the band's official channel does not feature an upload of this colour version. The source video I used to create this one is here: https://my.mail.ru/mail/adil914/video/_myvideo/165.html That was the best-quality upload of this music video I could find online. It had had its picture horizontally stretched so that everything appeared too wide, so I have used special software to unstretch it. I have replaced the audio track with a high-quality one, and this involved slowing down the footage slightly, as it was running a bit too fast compared to the HQ audio track I am using. The source video was slightly out-of-sync, with the picture running slightly late compared to the sound, so I have fixed that. I have also upscaled the resolution from 720p to 1080p, as this increases the bitrate, which slightly improves picture quality at all the different resolution settings the viewer can select, but please be aware that playing it at the 1080p setting is not going to make it look as good as a true 1080p video. I have also added optional subtitles for the lyrics. One slight problem with the source video that was not fixable was that it had had three of the four edges of the video picture cropped, removing some of the video picture. I did not find any upload of the colour version of the music video which had not been cropped in this way. This song was written by Andy Connell, Corinne Drewery and Martin Jackson. This track was produced by Paul Staveley O'Duffy, and was released in 1986. According to Wikipedia, this single reached No. 4 in their native UK and in New Zealand, No. 6 in the USA and in Ireland, No. 12 in Australia, No. 17 in Belgium, No. 27 in Germany, and No. 34 in the Netherlands. For more information on this song and track, see these pages: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Breakout+(Swing+Out+Sister+song)&title=Special%3ASearch https://www.discogs.com/master/97337-Swing-Out-Sister-Breakout I have not been able to find an official presentation of the lyrics to this song. Presented as a pinned comment below and as optional subtitles in the video is my own transcript of the lyrics, for which I have used the transcripts found on lyrics websites as a guide. To try and figure out the correct lyrics, I have also referred to videos of live performances of the song. Please be aware that my transcript may not be totally accurate. Unlike all the other transcripts I have seen, I do not include the word "breakout" in the song lyrics. I perceive that this word only occurs in the song's title, and in the song lyrics what we are hearing is not the noun "breakout" but the phrasal verb "break out". I have also made an unofficial music video for this track which uses footage of a performance on Top of the Pops, and it can be found here: https://youtu.be/GVLlY5d8_RI For my other videos featuring Swing Out Sister, see this playlist: My Swing Out Sister Videos https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAoe86_OnuXS8YhV_UpIbhZS3MuVwLGrW
