Day 287 - Ingrid Michaelson – Keep Breathing

DAY 287
Ingrid Michaelson – "Keep Breathing”
From "Grey's Anatomy, Vol. 3, Original TV Soundtrack"



So this song has been running laps in my head all day and the more I hear of Ingrid the more I like her! I looked for her album at Best Buy tonight but they did not have it... bastards. :P

Anyway, this song is so beautiful and powerful. The lyrics, again, are arranged in such a way that they are simple but they make such an impact! The strings are an especially nice touch.

These lyrics are almost a mantra. As I sing my guts out to this song I can feel tears well up in my eyes because these simple words really move me as I relate to them so much. All of us can really. Life is so hard and ultimately all WE CAN do is keep breathing no matter how hard life gets.

I am going to post these lyrics as well as the YouTube clip featuring the song and I will hope, if this is a new music discovery for you, you will listen to this song intently with your eyes closed and feel the emotion. It is beautiful.

The storm is coming but I don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.
All that I know is I'm breathing now.

I want to change the world - Instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.
But all that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing
Now I, Now I
Now I, Now..., Now...

All that I know is I'm breathing.
All I can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.

All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing...
Now.
