A must Have
The bonus tracks on this cd are heavenly. Besides that fact that i am madly in love with the song Breathless i think this is a must have single. When you hear Head In The Air you'll feel as though your in a dream. Andrea has a voice of an angel and whether your a corr fan or not (or whether you like breathless or not) This is a must have! The bonus tracks make it all worth it.


A CD single as should always be!
By the way, did you know that The Corrs used to have a doggie whose name was Judy? I think that the songs was named after her;-)

Head In The Air - this song reminds me Give Me A Reason, but this doesn't matter. Even though I don't like the song "Breathless" and critized it several times, the other two sons made the single excellent so I rate it 5 stars and here is a shourt description of those special bonus-tracks:

Judy - a ballad sounding a bit like Hurt Before about a girl named Judy who has tragically fallen in love. It is excellent. When I decide to go on a long, long way by car one day, I'll make a CD compilation and this song won't be missed for sure ;).


The 5 Star Rating is For the B-Sides
"Head in the Air" and "Judy" are everything a Corrs' songs should be--a wonderful melding of pop and traditional Irish influences. The 2 B-sides on this single are 5 star brilliant. So, for those 2 songs you should buy the single.

By contrast, "Breathless" is a dreadful song that deserves zero stars. The lyrics are horrid and the music is a synthentic mess. How this song became popular I'll never know.


Go On, Leave Me Breathless!
" It has one of those melodies that is simply irresistible! From the fresh and funky intro to the sweet and sassy lyrics, who could resist it?

Being a fan of this band for a very long time prior to that, I had high hopes that once and for all they would be able to make a lasting impression here. The single that introduced most of us here in the States to alternative quartet The Corrs was most likely "Breathless.

With the release of "Give Me A Reason," I found myself bitterly disappointed as their fan base seemed to deminish as quickly as it had started, give or take a few die-hards here and there.

This single is so expressive, poetic and beautiful! Also included are the marvelous tracks "Judy" and "Head In The Air," both nice compliments to "Breathless. "

While they might have fallen from the public eye (temporarily or otherwise), I would recommend owning this or at least their CDs Forgiven, Forgotten and In Blue (my two Corrs favorites). Regardless of your age, Irish lineage, or taste in music, I think you will find this CD-Single essential to your pop/rock/folk/alternative/world music (the list could go on) collection.
