From the Album Safety in Numbers (1989)

'Escaping' launched Margaret Urlich in Australia. The debut single from her first solo album Safety in Numbers edged into the Aussie top 20, ultimately helping the album go triple platinum. Back home it spent three weeks at number one, and won Single of the Year at the NZ Music Awards. The music video is a tale of two Margarets, one quietly wrestling with her emotions in a trendy cafe, the other unleashed and dynamic, harking back to her 'Room That Echoes' dance but years later Urlich is three dimensional, a star on the rise. In 1996 Brit-based vocalist Dina Carroll covered the song. Urlich passed away on 22 August 2022.
