it is funny how we are all experts in breathing. i can't even say that about walking. some of us walk right into walls. but as we work, play, and sleep, a neverending force is always with us. think about all the places you've been and have sucked in the surrounding air, and left so much used air. billions and billions everyday. actually, everyone, everyday.
i don't think too often of how much air i have used in my lifetime, ....who does? thank goodness its always been there....... that there was enough,......is..... for now anyway. i don't see it shutting off instantly in the near future, but it will die one day. i say 'die' because it is more than atoms of nitro and oxy to me. it dances, flows, and slinks around us, so intimately, whether we do or not. can't say that about alot of things.
as you listen to "breathing", i hope you imagine all the little details of breathing, like i did when i finally sat back and heard the final version. how much work and pain the lungs endure constantly, "heave-ho, heave-ho" i can hear them say, yeessssssss. like an engine, an airplane, a ship, and just as mighty. don't gotta think as another breath is taken, another, another, until your 24 and writing a song about it. thank you lungs.
listen to it, feel the same. and don't forget to breathe.
