Gavin Burgess Band - Breathe

about

The Mother:
Four tracks from the lost Forms Of Escape album. Originally intended as rough mixes, these are all that remained of these songs after a well intentioned computer technician "cleaned up" the hard drive on which the multi tracks resided. With the exception of I Feel Good and Darker the live tracks included on this CD are also songs originally included on this album. A further three demos from this project accompanied Some Girls Wander By Mistake on the Sasquatch Sessions EP, an early version of another song, When Alice Dances, can be heard on 1999’s Muster compilation CD, and a Demo of Hero was released on the Demos 'n' Jams album. One other song, Prophet's Lament, remains unreleased in any form.

lyrics

Well sooner or later, gonna quit this mortal coil
Gonna step out of this tired body like I'm going for a Sunday stroll
No big deal it's easy. No big deal it's easy

'Til then gonna keep on dreaming
'Til then gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe.

Well some men choose religion and still don't see the truth
And some men pay the dealer 'til they're no earthly use
These forms of escape come easy
So many forms of escape come easy

But I'm gonna keep on dreaming
And I'm gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe,
The things that make me breathe. (x3)

My heart beats, my eyes see, blood in my veins, faster I breathe
Hear me shout, hear me scream, hear me breathe - Breathe.


Well sooner or later, gonna quit this mortal coil
Gonna step out of this tired body like I'm going for a Sunday stroll
No big deal it's easy. No big deal it's easy

'Til then gonna keep on dreaming
'Til then gonna keep believing in the things that make me breathe.
The things that make me breathe. (x3)

Breathe….
