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.

All That Jazz
Breathe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well he pushed so far when he tried to bet like Newman in the Hustler.
There's a baby blonde with cool blue eyes she wants to be Monroe
For fame she longs that shining prize to be the star of a movie show.
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
By a pinball machine a young man runs his fingers through his hair
On the silver screen he's seen James Dean fame he wants to share.
There's a chorus girl works night and day she slaves to learn her trade
She'd give the world, kneel down and pray, to be the star of a broadway stage.
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
They just float around in that tinseltown
Ride the breeze that may blow to stardom
Famous party nites was my smile alright
Shake those hands that may guide their fortune
There in the game where the strongest will survive
The weak fall by the wayside
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
Keeps them moving on
The song All That Jazz by Breathe, talks about the dream of making it big in Hollywood, more specifically, it talks about four different individuals, all with different aspirations but with the same desire to make it in showbiz. The verses of the song paint a picture of characters whose dreams are intertwined with Hollywood's glitz and glamour.
The first character in the song is a fat man who is desperate to win a bet, which he places with dirty dollars. This character is compared to Newman in the Hustler, an allusion to the 1961 film, a movie about a young pool hustler. The second character is a young woman with cool blue eyes, who wants to be Marilyn Monroe, known for her beauty and fame. The third character presented in the song is a young man whose dream is to be like James Dean, a well-known actor. The fourth character is a chorus girl, who works tirelessly to be the star of a Broadway stage.
All of these characters are connected by their desire to be famous, to make it big in so-called tinseltown. The song suggests that Hollywood's fame and glamour are the driving forces behind people's aspirations. The chorus of the song, "All that Jazz, that Hollywood jazz, keeps them moving on" reinforces the idea that the allure of Hollywood keeps these individuals motivated to continue chasing their dreams.
