It's interesting how A LOT of people on YouTube are comparing this song to Miley's "Wrecking Ball".

 

Both songs are great, Wrecking Ball is a masterpiece, if it weren't for Miley's "image". Imagine it recorded by Céline...

I remember I played the song to a friend last December and he said the same, it reminded him of Miley's WB...

BTW... an interesting remark.

 

BREAKAWAY has surpassed 1 million streams if we combine these videos:

 

- Official "Breakaway" from VEVO account: 359,000 views

- Audio uploaded by "Andres Diaz" 539,000

- Unofficial video from SCD: 129,000

 

And there are more!

So it's officially the 4th (and by far, almost doubling WAAF's views) most streamed track from the album (after LMBTL, Incredible and SLS).

Still my favorite song from LMBTL.

It would have made a kick #ss single with some promotion!

 

BTW the official audio has crossed 400,000 views on Youtube, more than WAAF that was also sent to radios in the UK and performed live in the US, Canada, Belgium and France!

Sorry no Canada. I meant TV shows that are broadcasted in Canada :P

 

You get my point! BREAKAWAY has a lot of hit potential!

Can someone tell me the true meaning of this song ?

Is "if I could break away cut the cord for worse or better " "turn the page and say goodbye forever " not suicidal words ?

 

I really like the song, quite difficult to sing I guess, but still wonder what it truly means

Not necessarily. It could just mean walking away, permanently. A permanent end to a relationship, not necessarily death.

It's just an ok song, but a song that I have to skip on the album... But I thinks it's crazy to say it's on the same level as " I surrender ", which is epic!!!

 

It lacks, the passion, power, notes and wow factor , that " I surrender " has.

I agree in some points. As far as the same level goes, I think so. But I find it to be one of the best in the album excluding LMBTL, SLS, US. I believe it has passion and very much emotion, but it does lack power and wow factor. There's some great notes in the song, but with that being said, her delivery was strained and it seemed a bit rushed. The bridge is lazy and not as dramatic as “I surrender", but her tone is very beautiful. Her tone and emotion in the whole song is what makes it special.

I hope it too... this song deserved a video and never got it... but just like "I surrender" deserves a favourite-among-fans status and needs to be sung live (even if not in the actual key...who cares).

Lyrics are superb.

By the way the radio edit ends very bad.

A couple of days ago I finally did something that had been crossing my mind for quite a long time: Getting Breakaway tattooed.

This is probably the Celine Dion song that has had the biggest impact in my life as it helped me to overcome an extremely hard time in my personal life.

I love that! The LMBTL font looks great :)

 

I'm not a fan of big, coloured and elaborate tattoos, but something simple and clean like this looks really nice :thumbsup2:

Carolyn Leigh sure got it right with that lyric!

 

"Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum..."

 

I'd love for Celine to record it...though probably a long shot!

I adore the ''Wall of Sound'' vibes from that song (Breakaway). Very ''Spectoresque''.

'Nothing Broken But My Heart' did fine? Are you kidding? It was #1 on AC chart, made a minor appearance elsewhere, it is barely memorable to date (outside the fan base, of course) and it also failed to chart in Japan and Australia. The single has sold less than 300k worldwide.

 

Well, the song is also top the chart on Canada AC, reaching Top 3 on Canada Top Singles, reaching no. 26 on Billboard Hot 100 and no. 29 on Billboard Top 40, so the song can be considered doing fine even only in North America. The single sold around 200k worldwide, and the song also did better than Love Can Move Mountains in North America. So we can consider it as doing fine in North America, although the song is a flop outside of America.
