Steve Augeri - BATED BREATH (Official Lyric Video)

[@steveaugeriofficial]

With bated breath And bended knee I pray in earnest She comes back to me Without a word Without a fight I let her slip away into the night Oh well I’m strong But I’m not that strong I pray the world loosens it’s grip on me Oh, and time tells When all else has failed I’ll be waiting here with bated breath With heavy heart Upon my sleeve Wear my emotions for the world to see With each breath in Won’t let it out Afraid it’d be the least of her around Oh we both said what we had to say Just as all lovers would do Oh, and time tells When all else has failed I’ll still be waiting here with bated breath And oh, for now All that remains Is frozen and framed And now, love’s an illusion There are no guarantees For me With bated breath All hope aside I leave to chance the chance love Comes back to life Oh well I’m strong But I’m not that strong I pray the world loosens it’s grip on me Oh and time tells When all else has failed I’ll be waiting here with bated breath I’ll still be waiting here with bated breath

You are so amazing I saw you last night at sock out cancer and got to meet you then sent my mom. I was frozen solid as I saw you in my teen years and twenties with journey and you to ME ARE journey as you were there during that time in my life so getting to meet you was a dream come true. So excited. I subscribed here and listening to your new music. Your performance in Binghamton was like omg just awe inspiring. I was so excited to meet you who I have seen 4 times now. Baited breath is amazing!

[@adamjordan8105]

Steve, what a song! Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY...Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay, so having you represent BKLYN in one of the greatest bands in history was something else. And to this day, you're still holding the fort down for our beloved borough. As the sign says on the Belt: "Fughgetaboutittt!" when you leave, and "How Sweet it Is!"when you return. Thank you for your voice and beautiful music over the years.

[@steveaugeriofficial]

Hi Adam, fellow Brooklynite! I have so many great memories of both Sheepshead Bay and Brighten Beach. And depending on the parking availability, I'm either at Brighten or Seagate when I can break away. One of if not my favorite "Happy Place". Thanks for writing and the compliments. See you around the neighborhood! SA

I remember the first time i heard Arrival! My jaw dropped. It's rare to get an album where every song takes you on a journey. Till this day it is my go to album to just chill and feel good. You brought a whole new feel to the band. Arrival, generations, and red 13 are all fantastic! I only wish you did more!..But I have a bone to pick!! Why was " I'm not that way" included on the US version!! I'm trying hunt that down!! Thank you for the music you have given us!! I'm now in the process of hunting down everything you've done. Do you know if journey will ever release all the songs you did with them and when is you full album gonna come out?

Great song Steve, this is becoming a trend lately from you, couldn't be happier. From your beginning's with Tall Stories to your "ESSENTIAL" time with Journey as they rebuilt their audience, all the hard work that you were apart of made Arnel's rise possible.

@@steveaugeriofficial Is it August yet ??? I guess it makes sense to not want to compete with the new Journey disc (which is pretty damn good, btw…just sayin, lol). I simply can’t wait til your album finally comes out. It’s been loooong overdue. I’ve been one of ur biggest fans since u were in Journey. I saw u a number of times when u were on tour with Journey. And a couple of times with your band, and met u when u played West Springfield MA a few years ago, which was amazing to finally meet the man who brought Journey back to life again, which I’ll never forget. Looking forward to hopefully seeing u in the area again…love ya man !!!

[@mccartney2]

much better production sound than the new muddy sounding Journey album Freedom.... good track.... well done Steve

[@steveaugeriofficial]

Hi Neil, Thanks for the compliment. As far a the J-Boys, remember the Cult record, I think Rick Rubin produced it. They went from extremes from very ambient psychedelic atmospheric vibe to a very dry, in you face production. Kind of AC/DC like. It was drastic. Well, I think thier, Journeys intention was to present them selves the way they perceive themselves and that's as an Arena Rock Band. I can't argue with that. Super Live with maximum ambience. One thing you can't accuse them of is playing it safe and to that I commend them. As I mentioned earlier to Andy before, I think it'll grow on you and those tend to me my go to records. I love talking shop. Thanks for writing! SA
