With the recent success of David Guetta's "Titanium," Aussie singer Sia has come into my world and I am really loving her! A few weeks back I downloaded her most recent set, 2009's "We Are Born," and I'd be hard pressed to share a song from that record that I don't like. On New Year's Day I posted one of them, an upbeat ditty called "Clap Your Hands," and today we feature an older, much gentler tune.
I first heard this one on Jonah Mowry's video, the one that I posted here in December. Jonah is a middle school student in California who created the video out of the frustration of being bullied in school for being gay. (You can see an Examiner piece I wrote on it here.) Now that I've seen Sia's video, I realize that it, too, inspired the manner in which Jonah's video was made.
"Breathe Me" is a beautiful and sad song, and like Jonah's video message, it is a cry for help. I'm happy that the song inspired him and I hope that it has done the same for others, and so I share it here. So sit back, take a look at the lyrics below, and enjoy "Breathe Me." Oh, and Happy Sunday!
Breathe Me
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Ouch I have lost myself again
Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found,
Yeah I think that I might break
I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
Be my friend
Hold me, wrap me up
Unfold me
I am small
I'm needy
Warm me up
And breathe me
