💔 Love, loss, and legendary riffs. Relive the golden era of hair metal with the official music video for "Broken Heart" by White Lion .
Originally released on the Pride album (1987), "Broken Heart" showcases the unparalleled vocal range of and the iconic guitar mastery of the late Vito Bratta . Unlike the stadium anthem "Wait," this deep cut cuts straight to the soul—a raw, acoustic-driven tale of betrayal and longing.
Director’s choice to keep the video low-light and intimate matches the song’s somber tone. Mike Tramp delivers his best vocal performance here—strained, vulnerable, and genuinely heartbroken. But the true star is Vito Bratta , who proves that a broken heart doesn’t need distortion. His classical-influenced arpeggios during the bridge sound like tears falling on guitar strings.
White Lion’s isn’t just a song—it’s a memory. That acoustic intro. Mike Tramp’s rasp. And Vito Bratta’s solo that makes every guitarist under 40 ask, “Who is that?”
