Broken Wings by Mr. Mister was released in 1985 on the album Welcome to the Real World and became the band’s biggest hit, reaching No.1 in the United States. At the time, the group was part of the mid-1980s pop-rock scene, combining synthesizers with a polished, radio-friendly sound. The song was written by Richard Page, Steve George and John Lang, and its title was inspired by the novel Broken Wings by Kahlil Gibran. Musically, it blends soft rock with electronic elements, creating a spacious and atmospheric feel that became typical of mid-80s productions. Lyrically, the song focuses on a relationship that needs to be rebuilt, using the image of “broken wings” as a way of expressing the need to allow something to heal and grow again. . . . #mrmister #brokenwings #poprock #synthpop #softrock
