I’ve been listening to the song “Breathe” by Alexi Murdoch lately.
Never heard of it? Not surprised. I heard it at a colour guard show.
It basically haunted my musical brain waves until I found it. It was quite an elusive song. But the internet is an amazing stalker.
Anyway, I’ve basically had it on repeat. The song has an eery tone to it, but its also a lot like the title (that would be Breathe in case you have already forgotten. I know I almost did). The song has a very excellent message in it that I think we can all benefit from.
Wanna know what it is? Of course you do. The message is…it is….”don’t forget to breathe”.
Did you just roll your eyes?
Breathing isn’t exactly the most simple thing in the world. Now you just wait a second before calling me an idiot.
Yeah, sure, breathing is involuntary and everyone does it. Heck, you have to do it to survive. But there is a difference between that natural, involuntary breathing…and really letting the good air in and the bad air out. Sometimes, the bad air continues to pour in while the good wastes away. You forget that step of the process.
This song just helps me to remember to complete the breathing process. I suggest you check it out. Just make sure you have several hours to dedicate to listening to it on repeat.
And don’t forget to breathe…
You’ve just reminded me of those lines from “Sleepless in Seattle” when Tom Hanks is talking to the radio show.
“Well, I’m gonna get out of bed every morning… breath in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won’t have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breath in and out… and, then after a while, I won’t have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.”
