Duncan Sheik Barely Breathing

Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing (Acoustic Live)

[@EmilyTienne]

One of those songs you liked a lot the very first time you heard it, and that is uncommon.

[@rossydv]

Very true. Usually you tire of those quickly. But this song is an exception. Wicked tune.

[@TMAmick]

@@rossydv yeah since the late 90’s…Google says 1996 single. This one from 1998 has been on my mind a lot. I don’t think I was crazy about it then but by now it has that nostalgia, I suppose. So a new like of an old song versus liking Duncan Sheik since the beginning. So many times over the years I’ve forgotten the name/composer so I had a hard time finding it again. I won’t forget now. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJrSiIJ8r56Ld68si=aYzxEy6Xz_VMpwsv

[@TMAmick]

@@EmilyTienne I recall that usually whichever song I’d buy the CD for, right away that was my least favorite song. Sometimes I’d never buy the CD just so I’d continue to enjoy it which actually mostly worked.

[@EmilyTienne]

@@TMAmick Now that’s an interesting phenomenon you described. Thanks for sharing.

[@corysandell8696]

His chord progressions are so unique. I’ve played for well over a decade, and have never ran across another artist that uses these chords. He’s a very unique guy. His voice fits his melodies perfect. This guy is a REAL ARTIST.

[@rockyevans1584]

Great chords, he's definitely a real dude. Just heard this for the first time since the 90s, been learning it all day haha

[@truewealth50]

Not to mention how he tunes

[@Lowered_Gadh]

I got my own composed song sneaked one of his so to speak mu-chords....Try strumming all open-six strings while your chord is F powerchord thus, F (root) and C (5th) notes

[@TheFitnessTutor]

[@jrbruce7750]

Good for him to be on broadway! It suits him well!!😊

[@SOCCERNUT32]

I was a 80's baby and a 90's kid, with ( pre anxiety and bipolar which in those didn't know what it was. He was my savior , with his words. I remember I would pass on going out with my friends and sometimes cry , and listen to his music , he would sing only to me it seems. He's gifted writing and tone in his voice is just as beautiful as Karen Carpenter , it seems as if he's only singing to you about you. I of course got help and great, but in my darkest moments of my life , he was .... my hero. Thank you Duncan. ..thank you.

[@DebNKY]

Wow, same here, but a 60s kid, with the diagnoses. I was an SA kid in the 70s, with infertility in the 90s and a complete misunderstanding of myself. Currently homeless, in spite of holding a BA from a local small private college in the 80s. Lots of women who experience DV are here with me. It's a complicated time to be alive. Hope you are well. ❤

[@kristinvanderhoff2755]

never understood why he wasnt a bigger success. hes got the look, the voice. for shame

[@timurg3377]

not mainstream enough, too much soul

[@TheRealAwesomePossum]

+Timur G Are you a record label? Nahh.. so stfu. This is great music!

[@tengl41824]

+sexyhispanic25 he's not saying its not good - he's just giving reasons why most record labels tend to stray away from stuff like Duncans.

[@pjod6493]

+kristin vanderhoff I think he liked his Broadway work more. I saw him once after Spring Awakening and he refused to play this song.

[@tengl41824]

+pj od I saw him a year or so ago, and he played it - he said he had a hard time coming to grips with that music being a part of who he currently was, or something along those lines. Had to accept that it was ok that he was a pop star at one point.

[@CerroRico]

I always kinda liked this song, but this version is exponentially better than the radio version. I love this song, this version.

[@phillipsantana2633]

I'm just catching up as far as this single goes nice to hear it live.

[@DebNKY]

His poetry and love for language just sends me.

[@MegaJGarrison]

I love this. Happened to catch it on the radio. Took me back to University days. Just snuck up on me. I absolutely love the lyrics. They endure much better than other things out there. Thank you so much for this. It describes my love I lost going to University that wasn’t sustainable anyways.

[@tommyredline6432]

Man this guy can write a song. Never appreciated it as much as a kid. But hey I was too busy enjoying my life in the 90’s to care lol love that I can come back to it now. This song perfectly describes my attitude to society these days.

[@quintinrice2733]

I could watch this man sing all day every day. Love his deep and smooth voice

[@roro515_video]

Just had a chance to meet Duncan. I think rehab must have went very well. He was in top form, and seemed really happy. I've met him twice now and he's just a terrific, nice guy with a ton of talent. He performed a few new songs at his show. I think we can expect a lot more great music from him in the future.

[@andyappleton3353]

I met him...or tried to meet him too. I went to a show he did in Manhattan at a ritzy, upper class place called, "The Cafe Carlyle." Tickets cost about $120 or more. Meal cost $160 or more. I was such a fan that I just really wanted to see his show live because I was such a fan, so I was willing to fork out a few bucks. He played a short set. Only 8 songs total...including 2 songs that weren't even his. Then he walked amongst the crowd to meet and greet. I wasn't expecting this but I figured this would be a cool opportunity to thank the man for the music he's made, and just tell him that it really means a lot to me. I wanted to thank him. But instead of accepting my personal gratitude, he turned his back on me. LITERALLY. He wouldn't acknowledge that I was even there. He just kept thanking other people for coming. I waited patiently, as I didn't want to be rude. But some people kept coming and he kept thanking them and acting all friendly. So I waited. Then when no one else was walking past, I tried to acknowledge Mr. Sheik so I could thank him for his music. Again he showed me his back. He was letting me know that he was rejecting me. THAT'S who Duncan Sheik is. He's not a good guy. Not a nice guy. Not a decent human being. The guy is a jerk. He waited till I walked away...which I did soon after realizing what his game was. This is not the action of a decent person. This is the action of a narcissistic creep. I like his music too. But this person is not good. He's just really not. That ethereal sound that he emits. It's nice. But it's not genuine. It's not real. This clown is an egomaniacal buffoon who think's he's better than other people. Sorry for raining on your parade.

[@KryptonixX]

@@andyappleton3353 this is stupid and makes no sense lmfao

[@j.d.4234]

@Andy Appleton why would he single you out?

[@CesarJoel94]

​@@andyappleton3353 if you're telling the truth then I'm sorry you had to go through something like that , shame on him

[@andyappleton3353]

@@CesarJoel94 Joel, I wish it wasn't true, as his music is among some of my favorite, but this happened. I'll never forgot it. He was gracious and overly courteous to every single there but me. The irony is that it is with all likelihood that I was the biggest fan of his in the room. Most of those people in the ritzy Cafe Carlyle were just there for whatever music act was on that night. Some were some real fans but it's unlikely that they were fans like me. Why he singled me out is up for debate. He was standing about 3 feet behind me talking with some people he appeared to know when I joked to the friend I was with, "wanna get an autograph?" Could that be it? I seriously doubt it but it's something. It just doesn't make sense but I'll never forget that image of the man's back facing me with me calling out his name repeatedly just to have him shake his head whilst finding other people....ANY other people to shake hands with and thank for coming. I can't help the fact that I love every song and album this man man from debut through Legerdemain, but I just can't bring myself to buy Claptrap. Just not another penny for this jerk.

[@thepawchoe2749]

I was 10 in 96. I lisrened to all this music then but watched anime on tv instead of these beautiful live performances. I was innocent and full of love and hope. I'm 35 now and revert back to this because I need it to overcome a suicidal depression. What a marvel it is to know I lived in the era of this music's inception. What a beautiful generation we had to be blessed with such loving vulnerability.
