The fact that Avril wrote this song at age 14 speaks a lot how talented she is. I’ve always felt that this song is definitely her story. She really came from a small town in Canada & this was her big break to the music industry. Kelly sang tgis song really well but after hearing this version, I felt Avril’s emotion more. The rawness, her anxiety, her excitement transitioning to a bigger world ahead of her. How I wished she recorded this & included in her debut album.
According to what ive been told she was forced to scrap this song by her record label cause it didnt fit the album, but regardless both songs you can tell come from her heart, my world too
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess It sounded too "pop" for her debut album which was pop-punk is what I think happened and Avril's label decided it would not fit.
@@kekwayblaze3176 Yeah, she was a country singer primarily in the beginning of her career, cause of her upbringing in small town Ontario. You can see her performing live at a bookstore before she signed for her first record album
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess yeah, she was. Shania Twain was one of her influences. She’s said in interviews she started out singing country, at age 13, 14. She turned to rock later on when she became more of a rebel in her mid teenage teenage years, (15-16) she found rock during that time, dropped out of high school and was signed Based on that.
When I discovered Avril hadwritten this when I checked the song credits (which I always do every time I listen to a song for the first time), it made complete sense. The song had her fingerprints all over it.
Reminded me when i was a teenager listening to Kelly's version of this song. This one is better because it's just very personal, it's like listening to one of my classmate singing her hearts out
Always great to see photos of Avril in the 90s. It always makes you wonder how these singers who defined an era in our culture had also lived through eras we associated with other older artists.
Her enunciation is SO much clearer than Clarkson's. There are a couple of lines I've been singing wrong all these years. :) Neat to see the change from "snow" to "rain" when it went from a Canadian to a Texan!
@Aabruh Of course it's more polished -- Clarkson did a full recording, and Lavigne did a demo. Clarkson also has a stronger voice. That doesn't change my point about the enunciation.
Both versions are beautiful!! Avril has better enunciation and Kelly has the stronger vocals needed for the song. I love the story behind the song tho ❤
I actually want "Let Go (Avril's Version) (From the Vault)" so she can record music that she gave to other artists. Like Taylor Swift gave Babe to Sugarland and Better Man to Little Big Town, but now she recorded it again on her version of the album. SO GOOD! Just found out she wrote it. :o
She performed at live at her head above water 2019 tour in Detroit MI for the first time. I recored it was amazing I wish I could go back in time and see her in concert again
Grew up in a small town And when the snow would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreaming of what could be And if I'd end up happy I would pray Trying hard to reach out But when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here But something felt so wrong here So I'd pray I could breakaway I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky Make a wish, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the Sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Wanna feel the warm breeze Sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard a fast train Travel on a jetplane Far away And breakaway I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky Make a wish, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the Sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Buildings with a hundred floors Swinging with revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me Gotta keep movin on movin on Fly away Breakaway I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye Make a wish, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the Sun I won't forget the place where I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance Make a change, and breakaway Breakaway Breakaway
you have bno clue. she is such a good songwriter. she hat before 16 allready a album ready O.o she had nearby only good songs compared to mooooost other singersongwriter. realy. if youre somehow musican or have musican blood in your body you cant deny this. she is outstanding in songwriting and even in singing she was near outstanding very very high compared to others. i mean sure top 10 last 20 years. but only till her voice gets too high:/ wasnt special anymore. sounds like my sister grrr
@@alexanderschwoch5084 A man with refined taste. Come to think of it, you're right. Her early songs were all masterpieces and It's fucking insane. No other female singers have ever come close to her talent. It's a shame she never truly attempt to sing like this once she got famous.
@@somerandomperson3970 after i read your comment i Heard IT with Phone speakers and it was sooo Bad O.o. there are worlds between hear this with phone or with 300€ Headphones realy. I miss Them:/^^
Também gosto muito da voz da Avril nessa época. Se você assistir a uma entrevista mais recente dela, vai ver que a voz está até mais parecida com a de 2003. Nostalgia pura.
Ho sempre amato questa canzone,non sapevo l'avesse scritta Avril Lavigne,e sentendola devo dire che sia più adatta a lei,al suo spirito romantico,peccato non l'abbia incisa
I can say that although she wrote the song and sing demo. Kelly Clarkson vocal range fit perfectly for this song. This is not avril style that we hear on Let Go album.
The vibe of this song in her own voice and Kelly Clarkson's voice is a million times different. This is pure, innocent and real; Kelly Clarkson's is commercialized.
It's odd, like how now that I know she wrote it im like, yeah it's totally an Avril song. Same way when I find out with any singer/songwriter finding out who wrote it like Manic Monday by the Bangles and Nothing Compares by Sinead Oconner both being written by Prince... I'm like yeah thats totally Prince's sound
Omg same! I always thought this song sounded like something Avril would sing and when I found out I wanted to hear her version. This warms my heart since I grew up listening to Avril as a child. Also found out a few weeks ago that NCTY was written by Prince. I was like that song now sounds like something he would sing haha
It took me almost 20years to realise that Breakaway was written by Avril Lavigne. Personally I think Avril made a good choice that she sold this song to Kelly bcoz the vibe and music is totally different from her "Let go" album. Imagine that she recorded this song into her album at that time, this song will gonna be a b-side song and people would not bother to listen, then this song gonna be forgotten and not popular until now.
At first I thought this was an AI generated version, but as the video was uploaded on 2014, I'll have to believe it's true (although it was posted on April 1st)
Tell me a singer that uses this vocal technique other than Avril. You probably can't. I would say Avril is underrated, but aside from Let Go and her B-Side songs, she never did this particular technique, nor her insane voice control like in Things I'll Never Say. No other female singer can come close to her "peak" (HBG has similarities to her low voice technique, but still, not even close if you at the big picture)

Hearing this version, you can really hear its her song. She put her heart in it

Still fits in the album if she released it 💯
Agree with it
@@naskynsrlh714 she just did for Let Go anniversary.
She didn't write it. It was written for her when she talked about her experiences
@@JesusGomez-ob2qt how come she didn't write it? Do you have any source?
Now she released the song officially. The final version is amazing.
Ive always thought she was adorable. She has such a unique beauty.
I feel like after she scrapped this, she wrote Mobile. It's like the edgier version of Breakaway.
According to what ive been told she was forced to scrap this song by her record label cause it didnt fit the album, but regardless both songs you can tell come from her heart, my world too
ʇʇoɔs ɐllǝq I always thought the same

and the fact that she wrote it when shes about 15 or 16 ... what a talent :')
From what I remember she said that she wrote it at 13 years old.
At 14
"I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky" I love that she actually did...
Avril's original voice. So good, I miss it.
Not bad 😢...
Who was the idiot that decided NOT to include it in Avril’s album. Crazy. That’s the only reason this “throw away” was given to Kelly.
I love both versions, but this version feels more authentic and brings out the Avril vibe to Breakaway :)
Now there's 3 versions!
Kelly sings it so much better
FINALLY AVRIL OFFICIALLY RELEASED HER VERSION TODAY OMG IM SO HAPPY!!! MY WISH CAME TRUE!!!
That’s why I’m watching this video. I thought it was a cover at first.
What a beautiful, talented girl.
When I discovered Avril hadwritten this when I checked the song credits (which I always do every time I listen to a song for the first time), it made complete sense. The song had her fingerprints all over it.
Just look in your Apple Music library, in the Composer field it says Avril Lavigne, not on your phone, on your computer
Reminded me when i was a teenager listening to Kelly's version of this song. This one is better because it's just very personal, it's like listening to one of my classmate singing her hearts out
Always great to see photos of Avril in the 90s. It always makes you wonder how these singers who defined an era in our culture had also lived through eras we associated with other older artists.
I like this version the best. She's got a great voice, it doesn't need a lot of post work . Just sing it.
agreed, its as if you can hear the hope in her voice
Her enunciation is SO much clearer than Clarkson's. There are a couple of lines I've been singing wrong all these years. :)
Neat to see the change from "snow" to "rain" when it went from a Canadian to a Texan!
Lmao
@Aabruh Of course it's more polished -- Clarkson did a full recording, and Lavigne did a demo. Clarkson also has a stronger voice. That doesn't change my point about the enunciation.
This is better than the newer release.
Yeah, the new release sounds like AI lmao.
Finally I got a chance to hear it
It is more popular with Kelly Clarkson. Avril gave this song to her.
Avril Lavigne voice is amazing and beautiful in this demo version so humble
Love her harmonies here. She sounds really young. Good for her for getting that $$$$$$ from giving it to Kelly!
Anyone else literally just found out Avril wrote it ?
🙋🏼♂️
I just did lol
Just today haha
Me - today! LOL
today lol
Both versions are beautiful!! Avril has better enunciation and Kelly has the stronger vocals needed for the song.
I love the story behind the song tho ❤
shes got a new version out on ehr channel
I actually want "Let Go (Avril's Version) (From the Vault)" so she can record music that she gave to other artists. Like Taylor Swift gave Babe to Sugarland and Better Man to Little Big Town, but now she recorded it again on her version of the album. SO GOOD! Just found out she wrote it. :o
you really saw the future
She did breakaway for the 20th anniversary of let go!
@@Maria-oh7yh Rofl I do that a lot, like i know you will read this. :P Not a psychic, but just good at finding patterns. Thank you!
@@btrtruegirl3985 lol that's awesome
Wow, this shocked me. Im addicted to this song again.
I just got myself a goosebump knowing Avril wrote this song
Just one?
Her voice when she matured will totally nailed this song up through the roof!
Yeah... Wow just wow. You cant found something more pure and innocent than that
She performed at live at her head above water 2019 tour in Detroit MI for the first time. I recored it was amazing I wish I could go back in time and see her in concert again
Play the recording.
Grew up in a small town
And when the snow would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I'd pray
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
Make a wish, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the Sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jetplane
Far away
And breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
Make a wish, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the Sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I love
I'll take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging with revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me
Gotta keep movin on movin on
Fly away
Breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
Make a wish, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the Sun
I won't forget the place where I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance
Make a change, and breakaway
Breakaway
Breakaway
omg i love seeing this old pictures of avril and remembering i had most of them back in 2006
One of her best very few songs...great song in so many general and personal ways...

And that Is why... It felt like the original Avril once More. ❤
This the trademark of Avril with that melodic Lalalala.
Can't stop listening to this song in Avril's versions...gonna have to do a cover of it myself!
E hoje com seus 39 quase 40 anos, ela continua linda. ❤❤❤

Ah, now i found why her other song since you ve been gone remind me of Avril Lavinge, may be it is also written by Avril Lavigne.I love both versions
essa versão é a melhor, mostra a voz da avril na era let go, que era bem grossa. eu acho melhor. depois a voz foi ficando cada vez mais fina
Também gosto muito da voz da Avril nessa época.
Se você assistir a uma entrevista mais recente dela, vai ver que a voz está até mais parecida com a de 2003. Nostalgia pura.
Essa era a Avril verdadeira 👏👏👏
A Avril e o Evan são bons demais

A voz de Avril continua a mesma e diz que ela morreu
Ho sempre amato questa canzone,non sapevo l'avesse scritta Avril Lavigne,e sentendola devo dire che sia più adatta a lei,al suo spirito romantico,peccato non l'abbia incisa
Woooiw... Hermosa avril y voz.
Have to talk to her some day...great girl and friend.
Sooper talented 💜🎶👏👍

Goosebumps!!!
Whe she dosnt put this song in the Let go album?. Sounds great.
She said in this interview ⬇️ that she just didn't like the song, that it felt like a church song to her.
