Mr. Mister - Broken Wings

"Broken Wings" is the title of a song recorded by band Mr. Mister. The band's first single from their 1985 Welcome to the Real World album, "Broken Wings" reached the number-one position on the U.S. charts in December 1985, where it remained for two weeks. It was released as the band was just about to embark on a U.S. tour opening for Tina Turner. The song reached number four in the UK Singles Chart, the highest the group ever achieved in that country.

The song was co-written with lyricist John Lang, who was inspired by a book called "Broken Wings" written by Kahlil Gibran.The song is a mix of synth, digitally delayed guitar, bass and drums. The song's hissing intro was an effect created by the sound of crash cymbal played in reverse.

The music video for "Broken Wings" was directed by Oley Sassone and filmed in black & white. It features lead vocalist/bassist Richard Page driving through the desert in a classic Ford Thunderbird, the first allusion to birds. There is a scene where Page is sitting in a church when a Harris's Hawk flies in through the window and lands next to him on the pew and they exchange a gaze. The full band is also featured in performance scenes. Also appearing in the video are an unknown man and woman dancing tango. They are only shown from the waist down. At the end of the video Page is seen next to the Thunderbird with the vehicle's hood open, symbolizing broken wings.

All source files for this (I had about 4) are awful quality, so don't expect miracles with this upscale. I have removed nearly all of the fizz and grain and other bits of crappy noise. There's only a tiny bit left that you won't notice. I have refocused the video image as much as possible, trying to lessen the blurriness and improve overall quality. It has been pushed as far as it can go before starting to look bizarre on playback. What could be done for this awful quality video has been done.

I took the best audio from the best file and normalized it and gave it a bit more sparkle in my sound studio. Nothing much else was done to it as the audio track I chose was good.

This is the best quality online for this old song and video and I hope you enjoy it! :-)

Be aware that some evil people will download my clip restorations, upload them to their own channel and then try to take credit for my hard work. They will even go so far as to say I stole it from them! What goes around comes around and they are storing up some very bad 'karma' for themselves. While I do not own the rights to the music or the videos themselves it is my hard work in restoring these old gems for your enjoyment that is being compromised by any such attempts at smearing my reputation. If you spot these people then let them know that you are aware that they are nothing but liars and losers.
