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.

Say Hello
Breathe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not the air that seems so cold, it's the love she's never known
Outside in a winter world one lonely child roams
Will ever loving arms unfold to give this soul a home
So they're living on hopes and they're living on dreams
While the devil is pushing them to extremes
Can their spirits be strong, when for loving they long
For the day will come when they must move on
Outside in a winter world there's a man who's lost his love
So many secrets left untold should he turn and look above
Outside in a winter world one old man sits alone
He thinks of all the years gone by and what little love he's known
So they're living on hopes and they're living on dreams
While the devil is pushing them to extremes
Can their spirits be strong, when for loving they long
For the day will come when they must move on
Where angels fear to walk, there you must walk, where angels fear
There you must love, where angels fear (to love)
We all have troubles in our life that we must face
We're merely players in this game we call the human race, the human race
Where angels fear to walk, there you must walk, where angels fear
There you must love, where angels fear (to love)
The lyrics of Breathe's song "Say Hello" touch on the theme of loneliness and the longing for love and companionship. The opening imagery of a woman sitting alone in a winter world conveys a sense of desolation that is not just about the weather but also about her emotional state. The line "it's not the air that seems so cold, it's the love she's never known" highlights the fact that the woman is not just physically but also emotionally exposed to the harshness of the world. Similarly, the verse about the child who roams alone in the winter suggests a sense of abandonment and loss that he or she has to live with. The reference to "ever loving arms unfold" implies that the child's yearning for intimacy and protection may go unfulfilled.
The lyrics go on to describe a man who has lost his love, and an old man who looks back with regret at the little love he has known. The common thread in all these characters is the longing for love and the sense of vulnerability that comes with it. The repetition of the line "So they're living on hopes and they're living on dreams" reinforces the idea that even though the characters are trying to cope with their loneliness, they are sustained by the hope that someday they will find the love they seek.
The chorus of the song urges the listener to overcome their fears and take the risk of loving, even in the face of uncertainty and the possibility of getting hurt. The line "We're merely players in this game we call the human race" points to the universality of human experience in which everyone has to face their own troubles and find their own way to cope.
