I came up with a pet theory that any song with the word 'Breathe' or 'Breath' is automatically awesome. This is my proof - some of these artists aren't my favourites, but the song stands out to me in quality. Others are artists I like, yet somehow the track will still stand out among the body of work.
1: Breathe - The Prodigy
My wife thinks 'Firestarter' is the best Prodigy song. She is wrong.
2: Breathe - Blu Cantrell (feat. Sean Paul)
3: Just Breathe - Pearl Jam
One of Pearl Jam's biggest tearjerkers...
4: breathin - Ariana Grande
I'm not a huge fan of hers, but this is probably my favourite of her songs. I believe it was a form of recovery after the trauma of the Manchester terrorist attacks.
5: Catch My Breath - Kelly Clarkson
6: Breathe - Michelle Branch
Remember Michelle Branch?
7: Breath - Swollen Members (feat. Nelly Furtado)
A banger.
8: Take My Breath - The Weeknd
A musical genius from my hometown.... how can I leave him off my list?
9: Lose My Breath - Destiny's Child
That drum corps!
10: You've Got To Run (Spirit of the Wind )- Buffy Ste. Marie (feat Tanya Tagaq)
Is using 'Wind' instead of 'breath' a cheat? Maybe, but there's also Tanya Tagaq's throat singing to give the song a unique flavour on the rhythm section - sounds like 'breathing' to me!
