1/ According to Songfacts, Breathe hailed from Hampshire, England, where the original five members all grew up and even went to school together at Yateley School. Their first group was larger, six-person band called Catch-22, after the famed novel by Joseph Heller. Theyrimmed down to a quartet to record the album All That Jazz in 1987. This contained their two best-known hits, "How Can I Fall?" and "Hands to Heaven". The latter charted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #2 in 1988, and at #4 in the UK. Bassist Micheal Delahunty left the group in 1989 and the remaining three followed "All that Jazz" with the lesser known "Peace of Mind" in early 1990.
Their sound was a combination of light jazz with some pop and soul, somewhat reminiscent of Air Supply or Rick Astley. However, the success was shortlived, and by 1990 they had disbanded.

A Perfect Love
Breathe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A song is my canvas, brush strokes are words
But do I portray love, that is just my ideal
Like sculptures of stone that can never be real
For I am a man with romance in my soul
Do I cry for the moon as I reach for my goal
Looking for a perfect love
Born of such innocence, how little we save
Our spirits are tempered from cradle to grave
If one drop of virtue can somehow survive
From oceans of doubt all our dreams can arise
For I am a man with a child in his soul
I live on my hopes as I follow that road
Looking for the perfect love
Longing for the perfect love
A thirst for perfection is in every heart
Like the painter who won't be content with his art
For those who drink deeply, all dreams heavy wine
Look for heaven on earth, see a world more divine
Looking for a perfect love
Longing for a perfect love
Looking for a perfect love
Longing for a perfect love
In "A Perfect Love," Breathe's lead singer David Glasper declares his love for love itself, singing about his quest for a "perfect love" that may never come. He uses metaphors such as comparing songwriting to painting pictures, depicting love as an ideal that can never truly be realized, and confessing to a longing for love that persists despite the realities of the world.
Throughout the song, Glasper grapples with what it means to have romance as an essential part of his being, yet simultaneously be aware of the limitations of love. He explains that even as he moves forward in life and grows older, his core desire for love remains unchanged.
The lyrics celebrate the purity and innocence of love, with a sense of idealism and longing that many people can relate to. The song transcends time and is still relevant today, with its message about the universal human desire for love and the pursuit of an unattainable ideal.
Line by Line Meaning
I try to paint pictures drawn from my world
I attempt to create imagery inspired by my personal experiences
A song is my canvas, brush strokes are words
My medium is music, and my techniques are lyrics
But do I portray love, that is just my ideal
I wonder if my depictions of love are simply my own imaginings
Like sculptures of stone that can never be real
My interpretation of love may be as unattainable as stone statues
For I am a man with romance in my soul
I am a person who is naturally inclined towards romanticism
Do I cry for the moon as I reach for my goal
Do I aspire for something impossible or unrealistic?
Looking for a perfect love
I am searching for love that meets my lofty expectations
Longing for a perfect love
I yearn for a love that is flawless and beyond compare
Born of such innocence, how little we save
We start out so pure and uncorrupted, but often lose that over time
Our spirits are tempered from cradle to grave
Life's experiences shape us into who we become
If one drop of virtue can somehow survive
Even a small amount of goodness can have a lasting impact
From oceans of doubt all our dreams can arise
Our aspirations can emerge from a sea of uncertainty
For I am a man with a child in his soul
My youthful spirit remains present within me
I live on my hopes as I follow that road
I maintain positive expectations as I journey through life
A thirst for perfection is in every heart
The desire for flawlessness exists in all of us
Like the painter who won't be content with his art
Similar to an artist who continually seeks improvement in his work
For those who drink deeply, all dreams heavy wine
Intensely pursuing one's dreams can result in great fulfillment
Look for heaven on earth, see a world more divine
By seeking beauty in the world, we can discover something transcendent
Looking for a perfect love
I continue to search for love that is faultless
Longing for a perfect love
I continue to yearn for love that exceeds all expectations
