Maybe I'm way behind the news, but this just hit my ears and my heart was filled with a beautiful rendition of Just Breathe.

Check it out on YouTube.

    Reminds me of Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt. The originals are great but the covers...painful

    It sounds bad to me, too rigid sounding, too controlled sounding and sounds lacking emotion. I also don't like that Willie did it with his son. Would rather just hear Willie as usual. :mrgreen:

    I have listened to this a few times now and I have to say that it is definitely not for me!

    IMO this version has been overworked. It sounds far too busy and 'clanky' for my ears :(

    I also feel that the song needs a deep voice to carry the weight of the lyrics-just saying.

    If Willie actually would have written this song, I think I would actually really like it... The video is great I really like the concept.

    But willies son sounds so fricken stupid. And Eddie Fricken Vedder wrote this song... There's no beating Eddie.

    I once smoked some herb with Willie. Wish i could remember just a little bit of dialogue we had that night.

    I saw Willie play "Just Breathe" with his son at Farm Aid 2012. Towards the end of the show someone gave me his VIP pass. After Willie was done performing I went backstage and met Willie and Jack Johnson. Maybe best night of my life.
