Love, love is a verb Love is a doing word Fearless on my breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me, makes me lighter Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath Night, night after day Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Black flowers blossom Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my... Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Of a confession Fearless on my breath Most faithful mirror Fearless on my breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my breath You're stumbling in the dark You're stumbling in the dark

[@1966wilky]

John G Moore Your lyrics are the best representation I’ve seen. The ‘You’re stumbling down’, is clearly 4 very distinct separate words as ‘You’re stumbling in the dark’. Some vids even reduce this line down to ‘Stumbling down’ and miss the ‘You’re’ entirely. And theirs still a lot of controversy over whether it’s ‘breath’ or ‘pray’. I here it as ‘prayer’. And then theirs the topic of whether the original video is about abortion. I’ve heard this song was in the process of being written when Elizabeth Frazer heard of Jeff Buckley’s death, so since she’d already started writing those lyrics before she heard the news, she may have adapted then to her feelings once she heard the news of his death. Plus, massive attack re-jigged the lyrics also. Personally I think the video to this is just a good marketing vid, which has nothing to do with abortion, but it’s widely theorized as this. It’s on my most beautiful playlist, but I don’t like how it’s been associated with abortion this way. Until you here the writer state that’s the case we should never assume it is, when it’s such controversial subject which may be particularly poignant to it’s listeners and their own person experience if any. Thank you for your version of these lyrics as there are so many vids showing wrong lyrics and then examining them based on those blatantly wrong words.

@@1966wilky I always thought it was "you're stumbling a little" : )

[@1966wilky]

Patman Patmanson It could be? Elizabeth Fraser is known for singing in a way that makes words sound like other words so who knows unless the lyrics are printed on the album or CD info..? And the words "pray", "breath" or even "prayer" all sound so alike when you sing along with the vocal, it could be 'officially' any of them. The main thing is it's an incredibly beautiful song. One of the most beautiful I've ever heard ❤️

Love and laughter are the most natural and human emotions we have. We have so much more in common than what separates us. Yet we’re told to be suspicious and pessimistic of others. We’re all human, we all have stories to tell, and we all deserve a place by the fire. I love you all.

[@bosco.2481]

I love this song so much it's like strumming the strings of my body mind and soul.

[@sheellasheella]

I remember this song from the 90's. I wonder how many people know how old this song really is...

[@catiacornelli8434]

GRANDIOSA

[@AmbieWolfie]

So what is everyone's different interpretation of this song? I think it could be interpreted as whatever you wish. I think it can have many meanings and emotions :)

[@demonomega1311]

One interpretation is about abortion

[@florianlebreton1056]

C'était avant Dr. House...C'est super ce son

[@tilldermeister]

all i think about when listening to that is a fan made trailer of assassin's creed. it was just awesome!

[@Meansnare]

same in UK

[@spacecloud12]

I suggest watching the video with this it sounds so good rainymood . com

[@ryanperry9637]

I remember this in the assassins creed commercial

[@MizzAnthrope]

The lyrics are wrong. Contrary to popular opinion, she's saying, "Feathers on my breath." Listen to José Gonzalez's cover of the song, he says, "Feathers...". Also, the last line is not, "You're stumbling down", it's "He was tumbling in the tow." This song is about the drowning death of her friend, the singer Jeff Buckley. To tow means to drag; so she's describing how he drowned. This song is about loss, confessing her love, and the need to move on after mourning ("Black flowers blossom.")

[@The2much2young]

Makes more sense the way you say it 👍

[@counke9247]

good night everybody

[@LyricalMurderer1]

I’m here after The Last Dance - Episode 8!

Found this in Prison Break season 1 episode 20

Her words make no sense, I will choose to ignore them and listen to the beauty in her voice.

OMG ISNT THIS THE SOUNDTRACK THE SAME AS CHLOEXHALLE'S WOLF SOUNDTRACK?!!

[@OddworldCrash]

Breeth?

[@nlprophet]

the lyrics should be feathers on my breath

[@Taeryth]

I have very sensitive hearing and listened to several different examples throughout the video - I assure you, it is "fearless", not "feathers"

[@Zilverwingz]

if you look up teh lyrics, it says fearless. however the last line in teh video is wrong. it says your stumbling down, but its supposed to be you stumble in teh dark

[@wyzeworldtv]

***** 03:31 = feathers not fearless. so much for the very sensitive hearing.

[@DarkestofTimes]

Time2Live It's fearless, she's just enunciating it differently, watch some of the live performances of her singing it.

[@Skanoza]

It's supposed to be "You're stumbling a little", ... and NOT "in the dark", nor "stumbling down" ...

[@42Jed]

IT'S FEATHERS

[@se7entv261]

House

[@jurnicerichardson8227]

My interpretation, love is a doing verb so it is in continuous action. And she has no fear in carrying the word love on her breath meaning she lives love. Love keeps her in light motion. The black flowers blossoming is her love for a black man or woman who she is not scared to love. Her actions are reflected in the mirror of water. Teardrops on the fire is letting go of an emotion that evaporated after falling on the fire. Stumbling down is falling deeper in love.

Yes. Seriously. As soon as you know this, it makes the song a whole lot darker. Pretty awful really.

Craig Burnett it does, but not dark enough to make me dislike it tho. What about you?

[@soup-canharry1054]

I think it is a hauntingly beautiful song - exactly what the artists wanted it to be! I never get bored of listening to it. Great song, great band and fantastic lead vocals.
