The Retroscope: 7 December
1985: Mr Mister started their two week run at #1 on the US singles chart with “Broken Wings”, a UK #4 hit. The track is an eclectic mix of masterful synth arrangements, digitally delayed guitar, bass and drums. The intro was an effect created by the sound of a crashed cymbal played in reverse. Strong symbolism is used in the music video like the classic second generation Ford Thunderbird. At the end of the video the video page is seen next to the Thunderbird symbolizing the obvious broken wings.
