@@keitha.neubert3063 Hey Keith, thank you so much for your comment, to be honest, we did it all ourselves. I told everybody to record themselves with their Mobile Phones while recording/ or performing, then send it to me. We had VERY basic knowledge of how to put a Video together, it was more learning by doing :-). Also the Mix and Mastering was done by the Keyboardplayer who happens to own a small Studio. And I am pretty sure he even cleans his Toilet by himself ... sometimes :-) :-) . Pls stay tuned, Amy and I will come up with great news very soon :-) xx

Fall of '87, I'm 18, driving alone from the Midwest to California! This was on the radio the whole way. No cell phone or Internet for another ten years! Sorry ya missed it young people!! Outstanding cover : )
I was in Madrid when this came out. (Hope that didn't sound too pretentious) 5 of us went there in the middle of summer of 87. It was hot, it sticky, and I needed some alone time. Everyone else went out and I stayed in the hotel. I found a radio (AM I'm sure) that played a lot of English music. I don't know what I was doing but when I heard the drum beat intro something caught my ear. I flipped when I heard the rest. Couldn't wait to get home so I could get the CD. The whole album is a gem. And here we are, almost spring of 2023....and no, I don't have the brain cells to calculate how many years that is. SOS ROCKS
@@birdmusic You know what they say -- a mediocre drummer can make a great band mediocre, while a great drummer can make even a mediocre band sound great. And you were great on this performance! (Not saying the band was mediocre -- they're great!)
I grew up with this music, listening on a portable CD player at night when I was supposed to sleep. Now, about 30 years later, I just close my eyes listening to this….i’m back in my youth. 😊
So true, Arvin. I'll add that the way that Amy is bouncing to the music/beat, I'll take a chance and comment she (Amy) is a much better dancer than Corinne Drewery.
I come back to this great composition over and over again. What a lovely, spirit raising, rendition it was when everything looked so bleak during the pandemic. Wonderful!
I am 100% sure I have listened to the original Breakout song more than anyone in the world, and I LOVE THIS RENDITION you all did a great job. Just amazing and totally honors the original song, I am moved to tears.
Waoooooooooo just WAOOOOOOO!!!!! Incredible lead Vocal,Amazing Musicians,and since I’m also a bass player I want to say that the bass player is Greatttttttttttttttttttt,what a Groove on that bass 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏😋🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
What a great cover! Amy’s infectious smile and positive energy just radiates warmth and sunshine everywhere. And the piano riff at the end was a nice touch. Bravo!
Wow! Loads of people like this cover where 18 when this song was released 1987! Well I was 27 and was really into this kinda sophistypop, Neosoul stuff. Perfect harmonies, arrangements and Corinne, this iconic bobtail cut! Notwithstanding of all the Hiphop and Metall shxt was going on outside this harmonic bubble. Cver is excellent. Being a German myself, I would have never expected that all the members are Germans too, untill I read the credits. The groove, the feel, English language...everything is perfect! BTW: There is a remix of this song by Swingout Sisters themselves 2021. Not as vivid as the original mix, nor would it even be comparable to the cover!
Hey, thank you very much for your lovely comment. we are not all German on this. it's more like an European thing here :-). We have England, Germany and Luxembourg. Please come back and Visit my channel, there will be new Music coming soon !!! xxx sas P.S. where are you from in Germany ?
@@birdmusicThanks for the input. It's meant to be a compliment as you guys really sound genuine anglo-american with that funky groove. I stay close by Frankfurt. Love this project. It's outstanding even amongst studio live/jam sessions from other guys.
Biggest Swing Out Sister fan. Has Corinne Drewery or Andy Connell seen this? I’m sure they would be so flattered to hear such a great tribute to their biggest song.
Wow: Fantastic cover. I have been friends of Corinne and Andy for years and also have performed many covers of SOS ... excellent and so enjoyable to watch.
Sascha Waack......Absolutely ON POINT!! Great Playing!! I have to admit.....I WAS BLOWN AWAY WITH THE WHOLE BAND~ WOW~~ Thanks so much.....I WANT MORE!
Fabulous! Watched it in 2020 and such an uplifting song which I love anyway, but to see it done like this was an absolute joy. Oh, and the drummer needs more cymbals...
Holy crap !.. nicely done !... I was sure it was gonna suck but the minute that gorgeous young lady sang the first syllable I knew she had nailed it .. nice smile too 😉
A cover of one of the best songs of the 1980s, something that I enjoyed very much. I was glad to have been around to enjoy the many sounds of music from this decade. (I grew up during that point in time, by the way.)
This is the BEST live performance of this cut outside of SOS. SOS should be proud. You guys KILLED it. Excellent job. I saw SOS at the House of Blues back in 2013 here in Chicago. Great performance. Keep 'em coming !!!
Very impressive cover by a very very good bunch of artists ! A very pleasant surprise for the ears and the eyes. Congratulations to all of you especially to the lead singer.

Great sound!
I can`t believe this has been on YT for three years and I`ve only just found it. Brillant.
Hey Mark, thank you so much for your nice comment. stay tuned for music from us to be released on the 11th of may !! x
This is probably one of the best covers I’ve ever heard of any song.
I you are so right! They did an amazing job. I may even like this better than the original... and I ❤️ the original, so...
Agreed!!!
Am in total agreement!
Agree!

Who ever mixed this song, deserves a Grammy.

Fall of '87, I'm 18, driving alone from the Midwest to California! This was on the radio the whole way. No cell phone or Internet for another ten years! Sorry ya missed it young people!!
Outstanding cover : )
'Nuff said' 😎
bro I'm 18 in the fall of 87 also, great time to be alive, the song was a big hit back then especially out here in Cali
Yep, was also18 in '87, this song was a great hit in France. Brings back tons of memories. Friends, girls, and that sophisticated UK pop.
@@harrymattah418 I've never heard it referred to as that before, but that's perfect, sophisticated UK pop, nice one

Good to see new people singing old songs.
Your smiling face with this legendary song says it all.
Being familiar with the original tune, I was caught off guard with how amazing this version is! 🎶
thank you very much :-) !! x sas
I second that. 10 out of 10 on the greatness scale. Absolutely superb production.
@@jessieball6195 hey Jessie, Thank you so much xx
That drummer is soooo smooth. The beats just seam to flow from him with no effort at all. Just magic…
Hey there, thank you so much for your kind words !! x (the drummer :-) )

Hey Brenda, thank you so much for your lovely Comment :-). Please stay tuned, there will be much more coming soon xx
@@birdmusicwaiting❤
I was skeptical coming in because I LOVE Swing Out Sister, but, damn. That was fantastic!!
Same here!
Me to
Count me in..
I totally agree with you.
I would go even further and add that this is the best cover song EVER of ANY song that I have heard.
They sound amazing! We need more music like this world today 😊💕🙏🏽
It’s great to hear a cover of this song that actually does it justice, first class
Talented all of you well done
Oh my goodness. This has been up for three years plus, and I've only just discovered it. What a flawless cover of a great song. Well done, all!
I grew up with this music, listening on a portable CD player at night when I was supposed to sleep. Now, about 30 years later, I just close my eyes listening to this….i’m back in my youth. 😊
Hello, we are very happy we can bring you back some fond memories of your past :-) ... x
This is simply amazing!!!
Glad this video was recommended by RUclips -
Sept. 14, 2024
De los mejores covers de Breakout que escuché y esa voz fantástica...bravooooo!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Your SMILE is like an Omicron variant, ms. Amy Bird. It’s so contagious! Beautiful smile + Awesome performance! Bravo!
So true, Arvin. I'll add that the way that Amy is bouncing to the music/beat, I'll take a chance and comment she (Amy) is a much better dancer than Corinne Drewery.
Yes, Corinne's wonderful as a vocalist and lyricist but that dancing in the original "Twilight World" music video left something to be desired...
@@thebordernow It's all a part of her unique charm.
I come back to this great composition over and over again. What a lovely, spirit raising, rendition it was when everything looked so bleak during the pandemic. Wonderful!
Thank you so much!
I am 100% sure I have listened to the original Breakout song more than anyone in the world, and I LOVE THIS RENDITION you all did a great job. Just amazing and totally honors the original song, I am moved to tears.
Hey Ron, thank you very much for your kind words !! x sas
Excellent comment Ron. It's a beautiful song (and "It's Better to Travel" is a beautiful album), and yes, this is a stunning version.
from Japan. I was impressed with the wonderful cover that reminds me of when I listened to it in the 80's.
It's a hit song inJapan.
Watching for the thousandth time.
Swing Out Sister is the Best . Back my memories into the 80s . From Jakarta , Indonesia with love
Waoooooooooo just WAOOOOOOO!!!!! Incredible lead Vocal,Amazing Musicians,and since I’m also a bass player I want to say that the bass player is Greatttttttttttttttttttt,what a Groove on that bass 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏😋🤩🤩🤩👏👏👏👏
YOU GUYS AND GALS ARE TALENTED ; TALENT IS TALENT YOU CANT FAKE IT
A great 80s classic that didn't get the recognition it deserved, a European collaboration, nice
🇦🇺🍾🥂
Nice to hear this as the giant of music has recently passed. RIP Quincy, doubt we’ll ever be graced with a talent such as his 🙏
Excellent video performing, congratulations
Thanks!
Got to love where RUclips rabbit holes take you sometimes. Cheered me up no end. top job.
Watching this in 2024. Great cover, sounds so much like the original. An upbeat song for sure. Love it.
Best version ever...super tight band and massive vocals ...brilliant production
Absolute Perfection..!
IAM SURE ...Swing Out Sister would be proud...🙏
🔥❤️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Ms Amy Bird your solo is wonderful and so happy but your second voice is superb bringing life to the chorus. Congratulations from Brazil!!!
Great Cover! I have that song on my waterproof MP3 player which I listen to while swimming laps. Fires me up everytime. Indeed BREAKOUT!
Wow. All the musicians are great. A special mentions for the bass player: fantastic!
Thank you!
Base player killed it!

Dieses Lied wirkt tatsächlich erst dann richtig, wenn beim Singen gelächelt wird .. nice 😍
That was very, very, very good. Hope everyone takes a bow.
I love the keyboard solo near the end - nothing like a little jazz riff to take us out!
I haven't thought of this song in ages. So glad it popped up on RUclips. Fabulous cover!
hey, thank you so much for your nice message ! x
A simply excellent cover!
Timing of the woo-ooo perfect each time.
Rivals the original (I'm afraid to say....), absolutely stunning version.
I want more!!!

The sound of Amy and all of the musicians are a true treasure. I will never tire of listening to you music! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much for your support !! Pls stay tuned, we'll release our first single plus video in May ! x
Biggest Swing Out Sister fan. Has Corinne Drewery or Andy Connell seen this? I’m sure they would be so flattered to hear such a great tribute to their biggest song.
Totally agree Timothy - a huge SOS fan - have been from the beginning and continue today!
Brighter and more cheerful than the original! great job by all.
BRAVO!! Absolutely fantastic!!
How did I miss the biggest smile on RUclips. One of my all-time favourites and a brilliant, flawless cover

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!!!! Thank you
Beautiful....everyone's just musically beautiful....
This girl and this group is damm good. I enjoy hearing this music 🎶 🎵
Great sounding group

A new refreshing version...kudos to the producers
Great cover! Brilliant!! Thank you for uploading from Japan.
Very good cover of a 1980s classic. I still listen to it now and again. Swung out sister were a good little band,

You CRUSHED this cover!!!
A great vover. Brings me the memory in the 80s in high school.
The song AND the singers SMILE & ENERGY is SPECTACULAR !!!!!
That's right. It's difficult to be listless while listening to "Breakout".
Absolutely well done! 1986 all over again. I loved it. And in the correct key to. Thanks for sharing.
Fabulous! Watched it in 2020 and such an uplifting song which I love anyway, but to see it done like this was an absolute joy.
Oh, and the drummer needs more cymbals...
;-) :-) ... Ok, more cymbals, will do :-) x
Real music by real musicians, what more could a person want, thank you all!
I prefer this to the original....and I absolutely love Swing Out Sister....but this is too good to not love!!! Holy Heck!!
This is a VERY BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF THE CLASSIC SONG BREAKOUT!!! BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!!
Holy crap !.. nicely done !... I was sure it was gonna suck but the minute that gorgeous young lady sang the first syllable I knew she had nailed it .. nice smile too 😉

Absolutely brilliant
That was an excellent rendition. I loved hearing it as much as the original. You are all both very talented and wonderful musicians.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment ! x
When they revive the song, it sounds much better and the singer's brillaint jazzy voice has remained the same. Kudos to the musicians too!!
This was fantastic! Every body was on point, even down to the little ting ti ti ti tings on the triangle. Loved it.
nine months later - still super! music that makes happy! SUPER COVER!
SUPERB rendition everyone involved! Cheers,
Outstanding, haven’t heard that in years, loved it. More please!!👏
