Anna Nalick - Breathe (2 AM) (Official Video)

[@MarkGoldsby]

My mother died in 2018 of stage 4 lung cancer. We would always ride dirt back roads and drink a beer to this one. It was one her favorites. Rest in peace Laura Jean Cole!

I too am a Zen Budhist but also a believer in Christ, some think that's contradictory but it's not if you fully embrace both persperctives.

@@mikeivosevich6130 I see no contradiction. Siddhartha Buddha was an intelligent, enlightened person. Although there is no contemporaneous evidence that a person named Jesus Christ existed, if he did, he may have been similarly enlightened.

Just wow! I recently had a run of bad health ( capricious youth and heavy drinking caused major damage in my adulthood ) I had to have my wisdom teeth extracted. The physical pain mixed with the alcohol withdrwals ( which are a cruel form of self induced torture ) were causing a large amount of anxiety stopping just short of full blown intense panic attack vibes. As I was sitting getting ready to begin surgery this song comes on the radio in the office, and I was immediately taken back to 2005 and felt a rush of relief course through my veins. I got choked up and teary eyed listening to those words, that melody and her incredible voice as I took her advice and just started breathing and I was comforted instantly and got through the surgery just fine. Now anytime I get too stressed I just hum this chorus to myself and start to mellow out. The power of music is amazing!

Dear Anna, Thank your for making this song! When I was in the worst part of my life, you helped me Breathe.

Song saved my life. My dad had just died, my house was in foreclosure, and the day before I found my dog laying on the floor lifeless. I had been working with a customer to resolve an issue that was partly her fault and partly ours, and thought we had come to an amicable agreement. After she agreed to the resolution, she tore into my company, and then me personally for taking so long to come up with a resolution that she didn't like. Spoke to my senior rep, then my coach.... With all that had been going on, I was devastated. I almost walked out of the building (not because my coach blamed me for the bad call, just because I couldn't take it anymore), and probably would have wrapped my truck around a tree.... But one of my co-workers came up to me, but her earbuds in my ears, and made me listen to this song.

[@wyattmann8157]

Cope, simp.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

Yep, human life deserves to be treated as property and I can kill my property

I listened to this song constantly during my time in the grippy sock hotel the summer before I turned 18. I’m 30 now, and though the memories of that rough patch in my life are still there, I see this song from a more positive perspective. Life and time will always move forward, so if you’re feeling overwhelmed by it all there’s nothing wrong with sitting down and just breathing and taking it all in.

Every time I hear this I can’t help but think of how kind Kyle Chandlers eyes are and the sadness and fright in Meredith’s. I’m not a Greys fan, but that is an absolute amazing heartfelt scene (paired with this song) in TV history. Just breathe….

[@omcarhari]

a feeling of comfort of a rolling wave of understanding of inner feelings, wave after wave like a tide of the unattainable essence of things and the causal connection between them

She has the clearest smoothest singing voice ever!🤗

Two AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, Can you help me unravel my latest mistake, I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes Like they have any right at all to criticize, hypocrites, You're all here for the very same reason 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button girl, So cradle your head in you hands And breathe, just breathe, Whoa breathe, just breathe May he turn twenty one on the base at Fort Bliss Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist, Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year. Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while, But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles, Wanna hold him, maybe I'll just sing about it. 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table. No one can find the rewind button boys, So cradle your head in your hands, And breathe, just breathe, Whoa breathe, just breathe There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout But you're just as far in as you'll ever be out These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again If you only try turning around. Two AM and I'm still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, its no longer Inside of me, threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd 'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable, And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table No one can find the rewind button now Sing it if you understand. And breathe, just breathe Whoa breathe, just breathe,

I remember the song like it was yesterday! Why is my absolute favorite! I regret not owning it and having it on my iPod Shuffle. I remember when I was in Boston one year in 2005, and I came almost very close to seeing Anna Nalick and Howie Day perform in concert, because they were performing together that year. That is one year that I will never forget, and I regret not seeing Anna Nalick and Howie Day in concert. What a classic! Also, from hearing that song for the first time in 16 years, it literally almost choked me up.

[@sarge115Jr]

Anna Nalick makes my heart go thumpity-thump. 🥰🥰

[@fortheloveofdirtdotnet]

I don't think I've ever heard a song that could make you feel every emotion there is plus a few new ones. This is such a beautiful song.

[@aafpeptoe4209]

Only 7.9 million views ??? I must have watched this video half of those views ! Lets get those views up for this masterpiece.

[@nakitaj.4681]

I've cried to this song many times when I was a teenager but always felt a calm each time she sings "Breathe".

[@vixxen65]

This song breaks my heart in the best of ways. Timeless and relateable. Thank you Anna

[@dominicorlando2915]

Voice of a straight angel !!! Beautiful !! Don’t make like music like this anymore

[@stevemitchell636]

I never hear this song without tearing up. The lyrics are phenomenal.

[@aafpeptoe4209]

Anna is singing directly to my soul with wisdom that pierces my heart ! This is a lyrical masterpiece !

[@williammiller5168]

What an amazing poetically beautiful song! The life-metaphors touch deep chords inside me. Some may say they're too simplistic (an hourglass glued to the table, we're like cars on a cable) but let yourself feel them, let yourself be there in that scene, try to flip over the hourglass, try desperately to turn the wheel and take a different road, and when all fails, you can truly feel the power in the words, moving you inexorably onward. You can deeply feel the despair of your life's time running out, of not being able to change direction no matter how hard you try. That's the power of the song!

[@sharonsmeltzer600]

This song has become the signature song for remembering my Mom She died 11 months ago of COPD She couldnt breathe on her own I played this song at het services And every day since its my new Jam to remembering my mom Thank you Anna You gave me an outlet to survive thee most painful loss of my life

[@lisareneedaniel2699]

Love to hear this song come on the radio. Puts tears in my eyes everytime. Remember.... just breathe...

[@thomasspool]

You know that feeling when you come home and everything is clean and tidy? That’s what this song is for my ears and heart.

[@someordinarydude9147]

This song is such an amazing piece of art. I especially like the part where she strips down the track to nothing but the vocals when she's talking about feeling naked in front of a crowd, it's such a cool audio representation of that feeling.

[@HV2REMIXES]

Quite simply, one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Delicate, simple, moving, sad, melancholic. A masterpiece. Thank you for this wonder, which I listen to again and again ....

[@sanderstar1000]

such a work of art....so beautiful. a timeless masterpiece

[@evanhartley8857]

I love the part at 2:55 when the music cuts out and its just her voice, then the music just picks back up. It added a completely different feeling.

[@bklyn2shoes]

This song was released in 2005. I never looked back! Thank you Anna! A 4VER Song! Sometimes a song comes from your soul!

[@heliumneonlights2770]

This song takes me to my comfort place. It’s important to just clear your mind and keep going cause things will get better. I’ve been going through a rough break up and I’m loving listening to this song again to keep me relaxed.

[@vanessab1425]

This song has helped me through so many stages of life from teenage trauma, all the way to mother hood. I always use it to check in and it brings me to tears every time, good ones too, to stop and breathe no mater what is happening in life. Today I am mom to 3 littles and a grateful cancer survivor. Thank you Anna for writing this song-it has truly taught me to " just breathe" and be a better human xo

[@aafpeptoe4209]

Yes!

[@nathanbaldwin5782]

Im into rock music, punk, alternative. But I can say this is in my top three all time favorite songs. It's just beautiful. One of those songs you just close your eyes listening to

[@geraldlynn1827]

Still Grabs me and won't let me go. Just beautiful!! ❤
