Breathe

Good afternoon world!
Breathe is track #1 from my new EP Little Words.

Here's the live version!

So here's the all new and improved studio version of 'Breathe' It's a song I wrote a few weeks ago for an online song contest called 'On Song International' As ever in my ADD fuelled haste, I quickly created a video and sent it to them! To my delight, they loved it and immediately posted it on their YouTube channel. I'm a huge fan of independent musician support, and want to see it develop into a bigger animal for us all here on Choon and beyond!

What inspired me to write this? well, I was thinking (I do a lot of that) about all the stupid mistakes that I've made in life, and wouldn't want my children to follow in my footsteps. I gave them breath in their bodies, but I don't need it back. they walk the footsteps that I make, just don't follow me, take a ride upon a wing, just don't look down on me. I never thought of myself as a poet, but reading back those words really stirred some emotive thoughts in me.
I hope you enjoy this little song, many thanks for your support.

Lyrics

Breathe the air I gave to you
just don't give it back
sing this song I wrote for you
just don't sing it back

Walk the footsteps that I make
just don't follow me
take a ride upon a wing
but just don't look down on me

Breathe the air I gave to you
just don't give it back
sing this song I wrote for you
just don't sing it back

Walk the footsteps that I make
just don't follow me
take a ride upon a wing
but just don't look down on me
