Just breathe

I can't tell you how many times I've heard that in the past 15 months, or how many times I've told myself "just breathe." I was driving somewhere earlier this week, and heard this guy on the radio. Apparently he won some contest 15 or so years ago, which has made him semi-famous. He sang live on the radio show (which apparently is in NY?) and I loved the words to the song. Surprisingly, I also loved his voice, which isn't the case with most people singing live on the radio.

His video features people looking for work, and he's created a website to help them. Watch it or not, but definitely listen to the words. It's at breathe4jobs.com. Today is one of those days where I'm telling myself, "Keep breathing."


she's fine, most of the time
she takes her days with a smile
she moves like a dancer in lights
spinning around to the sound
sometimes she falls down

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

she likes New York at night
she dreams of running away
shine on, bright like the sun
when even the sky turns gray
i need you to hear me say
i need you to hear me say

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

let go of the fear
let go of the doubt
let go of the ones
who to try to put you down
you're gonna be fine
don't hold it inside
if you hurt right now
then let it all come out

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you live
be all that you need

breathe, just breathe
take the world off your shoulders
and put it on me
breathe, just breathe
let the life that you can
be all that you need
