Breathe "Don't Tell Me Lies (Single & Video)"

"Don't Tell Me Lies" is the debut single by British pop group Breathe. An original composition by the group, the lyrics were written by David Glasper, with music by Marcus Lillington, Ian Spice and Michael Delahunty.

The song was recorded in 1985 with producer Bob Sargeant, and originally released as a single in the United Kingdom in January 1986. The single peaked at #77 on the UK Singles Chart during March 1986 and provided the band with its first national exposure.

"Don't Tell Me Lies" was not included by Siren Records on the original 10-track British issue of the album All That Jazz. In the United States however, A&M Records substituted album track 9 "For Love or Money" with a special U.S. edit of the extended dance mix of “Don’t Tell Me Lies,” remixed by John Morales. This same track was later added to the British version of album upon its re-release with 11 tracks in September 1988.

The original music video for "Don't Tell Me Lies" was produced by Roger Hunt, directed by Simon Milne, and carries a production date of 20 December 1985.




Breathe "Hands To Heaven (Single & Video)"

"Hands to Heaven" is a song by English group Breathe, released as their fifth UK single on 20 October 1987, and in January 1988 as the band's second single in the US. The song was written by group members David Glasper and Marcus Lillington. The B-side features an instrumental track "Life and Times".

"Hands to Heaven" was Breathe's breakthrough hit internationally. The ballad peaked at No. 4 on the UK Singles Chart in August 1988. That same month in the United States, it logged two weeks at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also reached No. 2 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

"Hands to Heaven" became a top 10 hit in Canada, Ireland, New Zealand and Norway.

The music video, directed by Eamon McCabe, features the group in a surreal dream sequence, with the lead singer falling asleep in a black London taxicab and waking at the end, being driven away by the driver.
