Just got Backspacer in the mail and it is absolutely impressive! Just Breathe is the most beautiful song I've ever heard! I'm overwhelmed with emotion when I listen it to it.

    I like the rest of the album.
    I'm having to fight the urge to just hit repeat on "Just Breathe" all damn day.
    everybody wants the most they can possibly get
    for the least they could possibly do

    does anyone else have trouble not singing along when he gets to the part... "did i say that i need you?"

    it's like a drug... i get all hypnotised and singy.

    I also love it as well. It kind of reminds me of the feeling I used to get listening to REM's Automatic for the people for the first couple of times. Has the same feeling of nightswimming. I am so thankful that they decided to go all out with the strings, so many layers of beautiful playing. And the lyrics are just so damn HONEST!!

    this song gives me goosebumps for some reason...very moving.
    It's easy to grin, When your ship comes in, And you've got the stock market beat. But the man worthwhile, Is the man who can smile, When his shorts are too tight in the seat

    I've been expressing my disappointments all day - particularly with amongst the waves & force of nature - so it's wonderful to say something good. Just Breathe is extraordinarily beautiful & touching, even more so than I'd been expecting. It's Toulomne for all of 4 seconds, & then becomes its own unique, beautiful thing

    Just Breathe

    (vedder / vedder)

    yes i understand that every life must end, aw huh
    as we sit alone, i know someday we must go, aw huh
    i'm a lucky man to count on both hands
    the ones i love..

    some folks just have one,
    other they got none, aw huh..

    stay with me..
    let's just breathe.

    practiced are my sins,
    never gonna let me win, aw huh..
    under everything, just another human being, aw huh..
    yeh, i don't wanna hurt, there's so much in this world
    to make me bleed.

    stay with me..
    you're all i see.

    did i say that i need you?
    did i say that i want you?
    oh, if i didn't i'm a fool you see..
    no one know this more than me.
    as i come clean.

    i wonder every day
    as i look upon your face, aw huh..
    everything you gave
    and nothing you would take, aw huh..
    nothing you would take
    everything you gave

    did i say that i need you?
    oh, did i say that i want you?
    oh, if i didn't now i'm a fool you see..
    no one know this more than me
    as i come clean

    nothing you would take
    everything you gave
    hold me till i die..
    meet you on the other side

    Definitely dig this song...was holding out from the leaks, but when I heard it was on Myspace, I felt behind the wheel if I didn't listen (even though I think Myspace is lame)...bummed that Target will have the album before I will get from TenClub with a preorder...great album though!!!

    Yes. It's beautiful and it seems to be full of sincere emotion too.
