~ø~BREATH~ø~

oh, tonight began with anything
shaft of a light, warm breath and a scream
oh, tamper if you like between the doors
oh, can't expect to go out, to go out with anything, anything more
oh reach the door, a breath and a...
oh reach the door...and a la la la la yeah

life ain't what it's worth
a breath and a...oh reach the door

all these reaching hands out grabbing things...grabbing me
day in day out accumulating
whoa, i suggest you step out on your porch
run away my son...see it all...oh see the world
oh reach the door...a breath and a...
oh reach the door...oha and a la la la la yeah

life ain't what it's worth
a breath and a...oh reach the door

come, here it comes, there it goes, when it comes
where it goes, where it comes
can't see through the faith...woah
ooh come, here it comes, there it goes
grasp what you can
don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah

oh, if i knew where it was i would take you there but there's much more than this
ooh whoa, much more than this
oh see the world
much more than...
oh, much more than...why?

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song!

    This song speaks to me on SO many levels, this is how I was a few years ago when I ventured off from my hometown of Weslaco, TX (which is very DEEP south Texas) to attend college in San Marcos, at SWT. I was afraid of my dad, who didn't want me to go, but mom told me to go and who cares if dad was mad. I am glad that I did.:) And now I may take another BIG step and go to Graduate school, but not too sure where, either Austin or Seattle. We'll see....

    I was DYING to hear this song live, and was upset that SA didn't get, but Houston did, but that all changed when I went to NYC and attended the first night, and my goodness, I was blown away from this performance.

    to me, this song means to go out and do something and don't be afraid b/c you will always have someone there to support you no matter what. And fuck everything else...take chances in life!

    peace, love and rock on,
    nadia

    That is how I sang it at MSG I....totally awesome!!

    You guys were lucky in Vegas, I did get SOLAT on night 2 and Breath at night 1, I guess, that is a combo duo, but on different nights;)

    Whenever I need some perspective or think clearly instead of second guessing everything I listen to Breath or I'm Open. As MeddleDeal said this song to me means that the world is big and there are a lot of opportunities out there...you just have to back yourself up and go do it. There is more much than this..

    And the movie "Singles"

    The song and movie both are great reminders of how I was back then - I was really into the grunge scene that time...

    I got to hear most of Breath this tour - Ed forgot the words at the beginning!! HA, ha!! If you have the Lexington boot, I think you can hear me screaming!!
    " I think the thing that has always driven me to play music is the feeling you get when you just close your eyes and play. When you shut off the logic in your brain, and play from your heart. I think that's what made me become a musician - that feeling you get. Especially, if you are with a group of people who are in the same zone, and heading towards that same place in the song. I think you share an intimacy in those situations that you can only compare to sharing intimacy with a lover. I think it's the same place. It's a feeling that I crave for sure. " Jeff Ament

    At the Charlotte show, we got there a little early and heard the band warming up. One of the songs they played was Breath. I was ecstatic. Then they played it again during the show. Breath live two times in one night!
    Very cool.

    it is this song, Crown of Thorns, SOLAT, Black, No Way, All Those Yesterdays, Why Go?, DTE, I never get sick and tired of hearing it.

    All my favorites.:)

    Breath, to me, it is much more personal than it is now, more than ever!

    I am out of one door and into another!

    I love this song too. I must admit I am a little more partial to it's close realitive (SOLAT) but nonetheless BREATH is fuckin amazing. I love how it's another one of those songs that waste no fuckin time. I love that. :)

    The words are incredible (the entire message is really).

    I really love this part....

    * come, here it comes, there it goes, when it comes
    where it goes, where it comes
    can't see through the faith...woah
    ooh come, here it comes, there it goes
    grasp what you can
    don't you know there's something inside your head, yeah *


    I was THRILLED to get this a MSG as well. Crown of Thorns into BREATH?!?! HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT.

    This song kicks even more ass live. True PJ style. ;)

    Love the State College version too. When Ed forgets and just stops after...

    "I suggest you step out
    "

    then you hear the crowd in the background yelling "ON YOUR POOOOOORCH."


    Eddie : on the porch yeah yeah, that's it...
