Break 4 love

#1 Post by Riikka »

I noticed that there are no lyrics for "Break 4 love" on the official site. Is there a particular reason for that?

I quite like the song, although it doesn't seem to be that popular among fans. Or is that just because it's more of a marginal release? A very catchy song, however.

Love to hear Neil singing these lines:

Baby don't you worry
I want to be the man that you want me to be

There's no need to worry
I'm gonna give you love the way want it to be

Yes... it's not a PSB release. Neil just provided the (sung) vocal track. Chris was not involved.

It's not officially a PSB record. Peter Rauhofer is the credited artist of "The Collaboration".
This is a PSB-related cover I feel the world could've done without. The original is a classic and it should've been left alone (along with It's Alright)

I absolutely love the Laroz and Amdursky mix Break 4 Love along with the Pink Noize mix. The rest are a bit under par. The original being particuarly bad.

Isn't this the song that has the most remixes of all PSB (related) material? After listening to all of those you can't help to never want to hear it again...

I love this song. Neil's vocals are fantastic and if released as a single would in my opinion have been a number one hit.

Love the USA club mix. 8)

It's interesting that, even Chris not envolved, it's stated Peter Rauhofer + Pet Shop Boys = Colaboration.

Plus, some the Home and Dry releases and the 2xCD US Release has the song as well.

Agree.

I like Neil's vocals and some of the mixes. But what annoys me is that even though
this is a "Pet Shop Boys Collaboration", the OS does not list it there. But it has a
Robbie Williams in drag song, as a full PSB single.

Not logical.

It's strange that they consider She's Madonna as a their release and not Break 4 Love...

That's because they wrote and produced 'She's Madonna'. Neil only sung on Break 4 Love. Similarly Getting aways with it and Disappointed are not considerd to be Pet Shop Boys records because Neil only sung on them.

Getting away with it and Patience of a saint are both written by PSB and Electronic. GAWI is only written by Neil and Electronic.

But am I a fool or a remix of Break 4 Love is played during the credits of Montage at the end of the DVD?
