Joe Jackson: Breaking Us in Two

Joe Jackson's "Breaking Us in Two" is an excellent romantic ballad that easily conquers listeners with its melodic notes, an unforgettable piano and Jackson't magnificent voice. It took me some time to actually apreciate it, since it was a little repetitive at parts and without much variation, at least that's how I felt many years ago. In time, it managed to conquer and from then on it became one of my favorite songs of all time and it also introduced me to many other works of his, most notably the great "Night and Day" album.

The video, while cute and greatly made mixing Jackson's performance with a dramatic storyline, is a little confusing. I couldn't understand what was going on with the tearful woman who leaves the house, goes to a train station remembering her lover and somewhat she ends up returning home and then...he's there already?!? I don't know, it's strange to follow the story. Besides the good-looking cinematography and overall atmosphere, the video is worth watching because of the music and that alone justifies a nice view of it all. 8/10.
