Joe Jackson - Breaking Us In Two

[bkizer99]

Screw Pitbull, I don't want to see the trash that is pop music today. I want to see Joe Jackson and his intelligent, smooth pop/new wave/jazz music.

[TheEvilConductor]

This song makes me feel like it's a rainy Saturday afternoon in 1984, the internet hasn't been invented yet, and so I have to just stay home and watch Mr. Mom on television.

[firtree1000]

I'm 34 and I remember hearing this almost every morning on the radio when my parents drove me to Kindergarten...Brings me back :)

[teresa54ist]

I totally adore this song, I never get tired of it, and Ive listened to it for so long! He is great! and Steppin out! Yes!!

[cutlass802008]

OH HELL YEAH !! 

[rexrockandroll]

another tearjerker for me..damn...from the deep past of my life..but now..even more than ever..thanx kitty......id die for u and am still dying for u...i love u..x0.

[blondiern56]

You bet!!!!  Time passes so quickly, but music remains the constant

[MPL029]

I remember this video!!! Loved this song! (and still do)

[blondiern56]

Wow, I haven't heard this song in many years, and yet heard it twice in one day. Brings back incredible memories. 1982!!! I was a new mother. Amazing how quickly 30 yrs passes.

[MPL029]

@blondiern56 I graduated high school that year and this song reminds me of that time! yes...30 years...wow..how did that happen????

[stevevandien]

Ah. How powerfully this takes me back to my early 20s in the early 80s. So much has happened since, yet how this lovely piece of music stirs the memory so powerfully as to make me cry:).

[YourMomsAThug]

I love you Joe (alongside of Nu Shoz, Simply Red, Yazoo, Bjork and George Micheal)

[maristela1968]

Brilliant music, timeless.

[CornishCockney]

terrible sound quality,sort it out !!!

[msgud100]

love this song. thanks joe.

[uneedtherapy42]

outrageous comment for today: If Cole Porter lived today he would write like Joe

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #99 song of '83. Happy new year, everybody!

[justgetsome]

Why am I watching some korean chick trying to sell me fucking ice cream cake? Like you dog eating savages invented ice cream or Baskin-robbins 31...fucking cavemen,

[ffrnemtprn]

@justgetsome Awesome post...

[Sumpfstorchschnabel]

I love Joe Jackson, and this is my favourite song. The very best version of it i've heard and seen on german TV's "Rockpalast" - bad sound-quality, but so much feeling and outstanding musicians.

[victoriaphibes]

Such a memory. Thank you, Joe.

[rexrockandroll]

SOUNDS LIKE THE THEORY OF LOVE, ALWAYS SOMETHING BREAKING US IN TWO...THATS LIFE....DAMN THAT SUX...X0...

[elliecoffey]

My dad used to play this all the time in the car when we were younger! Good times :)

[dragknuckle]

Proof that pop doesn't always mean stupid.

[pittski75]

This song reminds me of being a little kid going on vacation from Pittsburgh up to Niagara Falls. You figure I am 36 now. I heard it the other day at the grocery store and it brought back memories.

[dsayyed]

I really loved this song, and it's been years since I saw the video. 30 years later, this song speaks to me, but for different reasons.  Thank you, Joe, for sharing your music with the world.

[bettyfelon1]

There should be more Joe Jackson in this video and less Random Actress.

[0915duckface]

i love it when the bird comes back at the end of the video

[jmorris724]

Joe copied Badfinger.

[cheyboo67]

@jmorris724 yes, it seems that way. Day after day.

[DominusLuna]

@cheyboo67 Every time I hear Badfinger Day After Day I hear this song starting.

[TheCmac1966]

@DominusLuna Me too!!!!! SInce they play the hell out of badfinger, I am reminded of this song a lot.

[74tmcentralc]

anthem for couples going through tough times. thanks joe jackson

[chyman]

i discovered Joe Jackson and fell in love with his music in 10th grade. can you imagine the isolation and ridicule an acne riddled, 15 year old, gay, black boy in the hood had to face in the year 2000?

[PInk77W1]

@chyman the same as everyone else. Its called growing up

[SHARKREEF2011]

@chyman u need bronski beat

[chyman]

@SHARKREEF2011 not really my dish of tea. but thanks anyway.

[Oatmealareyoucraz]

@chyman Black kids don't get acne.

[Oatmealareyoucraz]

@Oatmealareyoucraz Come to think of it, gay people normally don't either.

[chyman]

@Oatmealareyoucraz LOL! than what the hell am i??

[twisted4stt]

always loved this song! reminds me of junior high!

[KillingJoke696]

always relied on VEVO for good audio, this is shit

[slickvguy]

Love the live version of this song. (Live 1980-86). Especially the guitar solo.

[doulos58]

I DISLIKE VEVO! My Dislike isn't about Joe Jackson, Joe is the man, has always been the man, we all know that. So VIVO should do him justice. For all the shit they put US through, (the crappy ad's that play louder than the video, the way they stall the playlist). VIVO thinks they're the artists, well they're not. Talk about shitty audio, what a slap in face for a technical genius like Joe. Joe deserves better,.VIVO SUCKS. VIVO RUINS EVERY ARTIST"S PERSONAGE THEY GET THEIR GREASY HANDS ON.

[kdw456]

@doulos58 i dont understand,, is the video bad or something,,  please let me know...

[musicloveralways777]

@skot66 LOL. I'm with you on that!. I love this song though and I truly needed your laugh. Thanks

[unclebob100]

Sucks to be her ...

[skot66]

WTF vevo ...did you record this off a fucking Denny's shitter speaker?!?!?!?!

[mrpetit2]

nice vid with idyllic images

[magich8ball]

Imagine, music like this when you actually had to have a good voice and no autotune bullshit

[DaveWollenberg]

David hit #18 in Billboard, 3-19-83. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great week!

[erinstefany]

i think that joe jackson must have had a pretty full mustache

[OvniArgento]

Qu e sonido de mierda Vevo!

[Bonemeal2]

Could someone translate the last two comments? I barely speak English, let alone any other languages.

Anyway, beautiful - yet melancholy - song. I think it's, by far, the best "we're just not connecting anymore. Maybe we should just..." songs to ever come out.

[BlueArtistRose]

:´) es tan linda, tarde dos años en encontrar esta cancion, la escuches con mi papa a los 8 y jamas la volvi a escuchar, a los 14 años recorde la cancion, y ahora a los 16 mi hermano me ayudo :3

[zoconino]

@BlueArtistRose Esta cancion fue de la mejor epoca de la musica (a mi gusto) que fue la de los 80´s,hoy dia solo se respira este aire de superficialidad e insensibilidad,fue un tiempo hermoso y creo que irrepetible,si quiere animate a escuchar la musica de esa epoca,saludos desde Rep.Dominicana.

[BlueArtistRose]

@zoconino jejeje gracias, la vdd si he escuchado mucha musica de esa epoca gracias a mi papa :3, y tiene razon , una de las mejores epocas <3

[cyngerar]

me encanta esta canción es demasiado linda y romántica...

[chrisevanz]

Love this tune ... HATE adverts !

[SIRGAGA123]

this is my shit!

[TheMarianne109]

I love this song, but i also pretty recently came across "Day Ater Day" by Badfinger and i love that song as well. @ bluejay55118 do you really think there is a connection between the two songs, could be, i just know i really like both songs and now i want to play "Day After Day". Please respond :)

[AEMoreira81]

@TheMarianne109 This song samples the tune from Day After Day. The lyrics, however, are all Joe Jackson.

[SilverFoxRob]

Saw Jow in Birmingha m ... many many years ago. Love his songs ... especially love this Rob

[jw12061]

love this song!

[wpollock1]

Thank God I have this in 320 bitrate in Itunes - this track is what, 96 bit at the most. Sounds like Joe is singing down an alleyway.

[gop4usa12]

Thanks for posting Joe. This song is a real treasure and you play piano very well.

[nautilusalex]

We can see, the beauty isn`t necesary when exist talent.

[tommyrock69]

Seriously Vevo? Are ya just about the cash and not about quality? The sound sucks on this.

Well, I guess so. And I imagine you don't give a shit in the least. Put it up. Collect. Let me add one- QUALITY. This is not what I remember and I'd gladly pay for a piece of my past... but not this sh--.

Have a nice day Vevo.

[MoosicandCritters]

@tommyrock69 I agree, the sound quality on this absolutely SUCKS! I thought at first it was my speakers. 

[MightyZarkon]

Thanks England for Jo Jackson!

[bluejay55118]

this sounds exactly like the 1971 song "day after day" by badfinger. he obviously copied from it or was inspired by it.

[Pendragonn4691]

Pure classic !!!

[frankiesuperman1]

great song....

[SteveB801]

The ending of this song is always worth the wait-one of the best ever. The piano can be such a great instrument!

[stev0ify]

Forgotten how good he was .. Thank god for you tube Love it..

[allenwood100]

@stev0ify very talented guy - so is Jackson Browne

[kezzer2]

Divorce hurts.....cool post.

[mkl62]

One of the top songs of 1983.

[Malocosa]

For those who don't know, if you use Firefox and install the Adblock Plus plug-in, you can block the annoying pop ups that obscure your video experience.

[hyperkid55]

@Malocosa i don't work for Vevo Videos

[Malocosa]

@hyperkid55 you don't have to

[hyperkid55]

@Malocosa DERP @_@ i ment "it"

[Malocosa]

@hyperkid55 really? it works for me. No more GagaRhinnaBieber ads

[TheFatchickthrilla]

Did you sing this song to your hair when it bailed on you in your 20's?

[TheFatchickthrilla]

Hey Joe, you think maybe your looks has something to do with the break-up? 

[DallasPix]

A re-write of Badfingers "Day After Day"..

originalsproject.us

[AdobeGillis]

@DallasPix I always get those two songs confused!

[blackhumanity103]

Some songs just take you there...and this is one of them. The poor recording tone seems to bring it home. Joe we love you!

[otimitla]

Great song from a great artist!!! I was just a 13 year old kid when I first heard this song and I still love it now at 40 years old!!!

[ORCA4312]

@otimitla Yup. The truly great songs never get old.

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #99 song of '83. Joe hit #8 AC, #18 pop, in the US. Did he chart in the UK? Please let me know. God bless!

[fallenangel0924]

@DaveWollenberg Peaked at UK #59 in February 1983

[ellisdp]

Terrible sound quality I'm afraid.

[daslatrobe]

Why do I have to look at Rianna? Do you get paid for posting this kind of propaganda bullshit? If I was Joe Jackson, I would make you take this down.

[JPPT1974]

I love this song!

[elsoda]

i wonder why there is NO good SOUND QUALITY of this video anywhere..not even this one from VEVO. anyways..a classic..just a gem of a song.

[MrDirtyrj]

I just removed the message I posted this morning.

In stead, I mailed the management of Joe Jackson.

[cousinmodo]

So, I pull up a Joe Jackson classic and Vevo is advertising Kanye West to me!? Who built the algorithm that figured that out?

Night & Day was the first vinyl album I was given after buying my first stereo.

Great music.

[ronaldolmazo]

I LOVE THAT SONG!! GREAT JOE!

[lesmarcal]

Para quien me hizo la siguiente pregunta: Don´t you feel like starting something new?

La respuesta es: Yes, I do feel like starting something new, let´s create a new chapter in our lives. Te quiero negrito.

[rasputin510]

El sonido del bajo es fundamental y no se percibe.

[isitrealgood]

Nice of Joe to return the hat.

[napalm5]

I hate vevo
