Lyrics:
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season."
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize.
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you'd only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe. - Hudba
Nice to see an artist that can actually sing. I grew up in the 90s i remember this on the radio nonstop and she sounds just as good or maybe even better here. Incredibly good!
Been on this Earth 51 years. One of the greatest songs ever written and performed with heart.
I so agree with you 👍
Good song not one of the greatest lmao
C ski, that’s awfully strong wording when considering 1/2 century of Musical works.
It’s a solid song , but I have to leave it at that......
Always liked this song
AGREE :))
i am 57 at end of Summer 2021 .
July 4 2023 I'll just breathe thank you for this wonderful song Ms Nalick
She must be incredibly pleased to have this perfection documented for all time.
She should be because she's amazing. There are so many people out there that are terrible and ugly and nasty inside that if you find a pure soul like hers it's incredible to listen to.
This is one of the best written songs of the past few decades. And Anna's voice acapella is amazing. so spot on. So few singers can pull that off.
She's a phony hollywood who're clown for hollywood who're clown worshipers like you
This is one of the greatest songs ever written. Period.
My mom had pulmonary hypertension and a dark sense of humour. She would sing along word for word except for the "just breathe" parts. Or she would say, "I will work on that" or "easy for you to say."
Life is amazing in every way, good and bad, I am still here at 67, lokl, not sure how or why, but gonna take it
My mom and dad passed away due to pulmonary infections... life is life... but just how unvaluable is a simply another breath...
The only thing more beautiful than her voice, is Anna herself. Absolutely gorgeous woman
I agree 💯 percent!! Smokin' hot!!!
Sweet jesus
She’s definitely a beauty.
Yes, Sir. She's beautiful!!
Ah man shwing!
Now that’s what you call pure music!!! Acoustic guitar plus beautiful vocals. She is so beautiful!!!
I don't know if anyone else has said this, but to me the beauty of this piece is that it sounds just as good as her studio release. That to me is a sign of a true artist.
Sam Palmer I concur
I actually like this version better.
Sam Palmer I fully agree she's awesome!! Beautiful!!
Learn the guitar and then we can talk
Sam Palmer I agree bro....
2020 still got this music on
yep, I am here at 6 am..love this lady
I discovered Nalick while working at home in the early 2000's. I'd plugged into Pandora as background music, but discovered inspiring artists instead.
Yes, and that's a good thing. This song is a great song!
It's a great tune.
@@boblozaintherealworld3577 I think you have an extra zero there dude, but I could be wrong.
She sings great, but more importantly, she wrote a tune that's catchy and interesting to listen to. Her writing talent accents her singing talent.
She is totally under rated as a singer. So superb in her vocal quality. Love this acoustic version.
I can never get enough of this song. I can honestly say that if it's my heart and I've cried my eyes up listening to this song but it cleaned me I didn't hurt me it cleansed me. I wish that people understood how beautiful and wonderful and loyal to art this woman is because she really is underrated.
This song touches my soul and has such a great message. "Life is like an hour glass glued to the table" just reminds me that life just keeps moving forward. No matter how hard you want to change your past mistakes, no matter what regrets you want to erase, life has no "rewind button". We all have to live with our regrets and imperfections and try to move on.
I always felt like you can't change life if you keep repeating the pattern. But yours is beautiful and inspired.
We played a gig tonight and in the audience were two very nice looking women. My guitar player said. "Hey! You look like a singer" They laughed and said yes. Nothing more was said until they came up to say they enjoyed our little gig. It was indeed Anna and her mother. What blown me away was how so very nice and down to earth she is. Her mother is the same way. They are both gorgeous inside and out.
+Patrick Runne
I hope this song made her a millionaire, because everything I've read makes me believe she's worth it!
Does she still have those hypnotizing eyes @_@??
Patrick Runne you are ONE LUCKY MAN!! She's off the charts incredible. That moment in time where this was? From her heart to her hair, ethereal beauty, incarnate.

@@eXcommunicate1979
According to Wikipedia, her net worth is about $19 million.
I had a moment today, where I had meltdown , unrelated to the actual song but This song came on and I was reminded to breathe which felt sent. It was why music matters it hits the nooks and crannies of our souls.
I hate to repeat another 51 year old on the comment section but this is one of the most brilliant, thought out songs I’ve ever heard. Life never slows or allows you time which makes you full of regrets. But gives you just enough time to think of the right things you’ve done and how you can try to do more right
Wow, 10 years later. I still remember this song.
man, whatever happened to these kind of artists?...I only listen to Rock music, but I would say the late 90's to early 2000's, these kind of tunes were my guilty pleasure...I mean those were the days when Pop artists you hear on the radio really got "talents" i.e. Jewel, Michelle Branch, Vannesa Carlton, Alanis Morisette, Tori Amos, Norah Jones, young Avril, Sixpence None the Richer to name a few...
you re on to something......it is called heart and art...funny how it is what it is, you cant deny either one, we are all captured.
The 90s were the best time of music period. It took the best of the past decades/generations (even classical) and then added its own signature style and created a magical time period for music.
Yeah...that's about right,buddy. 🎶👩🎤👍
Vipe Jay it's all rap and auto tune now
Sadly the good music era ended around the year 2010. There are good artists out there, their just not mainstream because this generation don't know good music.
You know she is talented when she sounds the same live and recorded , awesome
I almost never prefer live to studio singles, usually like them far less. This song is a rare exception. Great song, great lyrics, and the chorus is like a few seconds of true peace.
This is a gorgeous song, Anna is gorgeous, and she sings gorgeously. I've always wondered why this song was not more popular.
It depends on where you live how popular this song is. When she 1st began performing in northern California this song actually had heavy airplay on every major station.
God shes beautiful. ive always loved this song but now im a little obsessed.
+shcaskey lol
+shcaskey lol
Agreed---she really is beautiful and I love the song too.
She sure is...she is just a very natural beauty..pretty voice too! She does not have to be flashy obnoxious and over the top ....she is just who she is and that is talent and beauty!
Pure beauty and talent. Very refreshing, no gimmicks, just a wonderful voice.
This tune. Her voice.. Her eyes. Thank you Lord. 🙏
Anna has the most amazing voice. What a song!
Great song! My daughter wasn't even born when this video was uploaded but tonight she's going to perform this solo at an open mic night. I hope she does you proud Anna!
Hope she is still singing
Beautiful song, beautiful voice, beautiful girl, a great to the world from God.
everything about this woman is beautiful i really can't wait for her new album she's my favorite singer
I've always loved this song. And to be able to sing a song called "Breathe" with so very few breaths... is amazing.
Wish we could hear more from Anna.
My wife and I saw her sing live a couple weeks ago (November 2014). She's the real deal. She was able to just stand there and sing in great pitch and with great expressiveness with a single accompanist. (No autotune!!) She said she was trying out new material for a forthcoming album. She did Breathe as her closing number, but both her old and new stuff was terrific. I am certainly looking forward to the new collection in 2015.
Omg this video made me emotional. I remember 2006 well and that’s when this video was uploaded. Times were just so very different back then. We were all excited to try out the new upcoming smart phones, I had a flip phone and was young and excited to explore where life took me. Things have changed so much since 2006.
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes

Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
And 'cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
In May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a Day, " he said down to the flask in his fist
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year"
Here in town you can tell he's been down for awhile
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles

If you only try turning around
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud

And breathe, just breathe
Whoa breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
Oh breathe, just breathe
Wow, she's not only insanely beautiful but she can sing really well. Far OUt!!!
Sometimes I have a lot of anxiety, this song helps to stop and breath. Today is alittle rough and I am listening and it is bringing me to tears. I need to just breath, she is helping me to remember.
Yeah me too...I hope your doing well rn though : )
Her eyes.. The sincerity in her voice. A Beautiful Human being.
One if the finest songs ever written.
She's absolutely beautiful, my god....
right !! smoking hot
She is .... absolutely stunning a natural beauty..
Why isn't she still A-list? She should still be on the radio!
She is a-list, to all of those who know talent and beauty.
Great version of this song. I love how you go a capella in the third verse. You are a true artist.
OMG - How ironic Anna - You sing a song titled - 'Breathe' - then bust out a performance that leaves us truly breathless...
Fav gurl on the planet - absurdly gifted and beautiful...
❤️
I can't believe this Female didn't "blow up" like so many Talented Females of that time period. She literally has Everything that makes an Artist. 💚
Female?? Are you new to this planet? We call them women and they are wonderful. I probably love them more than I should but that's my burden to bear. You should learn to respect them even when giving a compliment which is an oxymoron in your case.. DID YOUR PARENTS TEACH YOU ANYTHING OR ARE YOU ONE OF THOSE WORTHLESS INDIVIDUALS WHO VIEW WOMEN AS MASTUBATORY TOOLS BECAUSE YOU WON'T ADMIT YOU ARE GAY? SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR WOMEN ROBERTO OR GET NONE YOU FUCKING PUSSY!!!!! If this seems harsh it's meant to be. Merry Christmas Roberto!!!! Your So Fussy!!!
I love this song. I played this song so many times when I first got the CD.
I would trade every Taylor Swift note ever uttered for one minute with Anna listening to her play and sing.
Finally understanding what she’s saying at 39 years old. Better late than never I guess. Thank you for posting this version. Truly
How can a human being be so beautiful
You've obviously never traveled in Ukraine.
She did a version "kinda" where she had laryngitis. The small group appeared to be comprised mostly of women. She asked for their help in singing the song they did and it was impressive the number who knew it. Her reaction was one of pure humilty. Tears of astonishment, thanks, relief, whatever it was it was genuine.
When a post comes alive again 8 years later. This woman could break my heart with a smile.
Shes beautiful
This has to be the most beautiful song ever written. It's as beautiful as she is. I have a feeling she's just as beautiful inside
That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I've always liked the song but watching her sing it has somehow touched me deeply. I think I just fell in love.
A beauty that leaves me actually speechless. Ive never experienced that before.
Wow, I can't believe it's been that long since this song came out.
Whatever happened to this beautiful and talented girl?
Absolutely wonderful to see a lady getting it done as a blessed singer should get it done. I can only hope that you have not slipped over the edge and gone tattoo, black and blue the way so many chose to roll out there these days. Good job Anna!!!!
But my god it's so beautiful when this girl smiles...
This lady is as beautiful as her voice OMG ❤😊
Ive heard this song a million times but have never really seen Anna Nalick until now. Is this woman sent from heaven? Drop dead beautiful, voice like an angel............deadly combo............I TOTALLY dig her...
It's just a shame this beautiful performance isn't uploaded in better quality, but it has everything, from crisp wonderfully done guitar playing to her stunning vocals.
I was in 4th grade when this was uploaded. CZcams is a friggin' time machine. I cherish the nostalgia ❤️❤️
Wow, simply beautiful, relaxing, what an amazing voice on this woman
Different song..SAME TITLE..well worth a little attention though...mellow but beautiful.
Google BREATHE by JASMINE LAMPORT....a Brit with a beautiful vox.
+SONIC FOXX(home of original SONGS..no GGG eh required!!) Top Tracks for Pink Floyd: www.youtube.comomev /playlist?list=PLYjaa9h0s4AasTvcKPAWEFi2lC3-qtXCW
Love her voice, always did
Acoustic, a cappella - heaven!
Touches so many nerves right now.
After 100 times...still...goosebumps...thank you
Need this song now... pandemic. Relaxes me and keeps me breathing during such a stressful time.
That's why I looked up this song but this is not the FM radio version I first liked ... she's so speeded up it almost sounds anxious compared to the version I'm speaking about where she sounds more reflective and consoling.Anyways... God Bless All...Stay Well !!!
Breathe has a whole new meaning now... Much Love💚
@@OkieGrower75 whether it's the demonstrations use of breathe, people's added fears and anxiety over the pandemic, the climate, air quality concerns, personal health problems that for many are put on hold, staying afloat in any area/way we can... We must keep faith, be kind and patient with ourselves and others every way we can and... JUST BREATHE !!!!
God Bless YOU....All... Stay Well....
@@petemavus2948 Thank You! Bless you!
Much Okie Love!!!
I sent this song to my loving friend as he was recovering from a Big car crash. Just saw him today, even hugged him, ouch! I just asked him to play it at least once a day. Especially when she says " by God its beautiful when the boy smiles", I told him that will happen again, he will laugh that laugh that lights up the world.
This lady has some serious high-level songcraft art in her veins. The whole CD is excellent.
Makes you want to be the one she is referring to the way she sings the following, "But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles. Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it".
Bruce Baran Yeah. I know a "boy" like that. *sigh.*
Takes a lot of talent to pull off a vocal with a single instrument for backing.
It's actually done quite nicely all the time.
Very true. Long time musician here. Making guitar n vocals sound truly special take a certain styling
Just because its done often doesn't mean its easy.
takes even more talent to play the instrument yourself.
Damn I remember this, an amazing piece from my early 20's. Beautiful. talented, pure awesome, love the meanings of this song.
UNREAL. How does a woman with a voice like that have those looks too???? I melt when I watch Anna Nalick perform. Stunning is way too weak of a word. She is one in a million.
I love her voice. just beautiful. and I love this song. classic.

Lol.. i clicked the 5th star trying to leave a rating for your comment and this song xD i'm an idiot sometimes lol
HAHAHa..You're not alone..I thought I must've been the only one that did that... Was going for 5 star rating too. I don't always get full watts to the bulb, lol.
Tam S What's not to like.
guitarist perfectly complements Anna Nalick beautiful voice . Thankyou
Finally a comment for the guitarist. Anyone know his name?? Please.
Guitarist is Luis Maldonado, currently playing bass guitar for Foreigner.
Love her cadence and voice beautiful performance.
proof that all it takes is one good song, one voice and one guitar.
I heard this song in a store today and it somehow fit the atmosphere. It was almost eerily quiet, with everyone walking around in their own "zone" and it made me curious about what they all may be carrying around with them (baggage). And I couldn't help but wonder if this song was effecting them the same way as it was me. I'm not depressed or anything. I was simply letting the mood of the song permeate my brain. And the imagery is universal enough that most people can relate to it from one angle or another. Great songs can do that. This video is the first time I've ever seen her, or heard her live as well. And I got to say, Wow. Not only is she beautiful but she seems to have a classiness that's refreshing. And this has to be one of the best songs produced in the first decade of this century. She deserves to be bigger. Only in the atmosphere of modern music would talented artists like Anna have to take a backseat to the 40-watt mind fodder that passes for music today. Great words, great voice, and again, friggin hot.
She is incredible. So clear.... Amazing performance !
Just had to do one of the most difficult, nerve wrecking things of my life and I ended up sweating and more tense than ever. This song helped me get through the aweful feeling and breath again.
So, thank you Anna Nallick
One of the prettiest human beings I've ever seen 😍
This is real. raw, and this woman is a true vocalist. No auto-tune, nothing. Purity at its finest.
Great song , incredible version ...
this one opens my eyes ... love her damn !!
I watched this because it is music. Old, but still very good music. Somebody I could hang around a fire pit in the back yard and love the music. Many, if not most, musicians need a full orchestra behind them, never seen, just them. I love the basics.
I've had a massive crush on this woman for at least 10 years.
She's talented as hell and a drop dead knockout.
The greatest elegant songwriter of the Nineties or maybe at the turn of the Millennium.
Forgot how much I loved this song years ago. Gives me chills listening to it acoustic version. What ever happened to her???
She is so beautiful. Soulful voice. ❤
Breath, Better Acoustic is this old mans first choice, just perfect.
Always loved this song & what a beautiful voice 👃💛
My dream girl no doubt...but having a "hit" is a different thing. She's written some other amazing songs like "Knots" but they just didn't take off; i love them them the same though. I'm just glad we have her :)
Pure TALENT....Wonderful!
OMG what a great song. How have I not heard this before... 16 years? What! She’s amazing! 😳😊
Her voice... 💙
This song was my hook with her.
I've been hooked ever since.
Almost all of her songs are my "Happy place" songs.
This song helped me through some seriously dark, dark days. I just remember to breathe.
Anna nalick is so talented and this song is really beautiful...her voice just sings it so perfectly The lyrics are perfect...Breath 2 Breathe. again..
Not only a great song and a great singer ... but Wow what a *great* performance!!!
My Lord this woman blows me away!! incredible
for me, this song is the can opener to caverns of pain today... it kept running in my head this morning... then i listened to it over and over again and the floods came and have finally subsided... Thanks Anna - you're the medicine after two years of just stuffing it.... xxoo
I get this so much.....I hope you are well.
R u kidding me? Never had a face to put with song. Seriously? WHOA
One of the most underrated artists ever. what a wonderful song.
who underrated her???
I"ve never forgotten that song on Grey's Anatomy, and thought it was so beautiful, but I never
heard it again, until yesterday on the radio. It was just as haunting as I remembered, I'm so
proud to have it on my playlist!!!
I also found this song by way of Grey’s Anatomy. Very Haunting in the show.
This song still hits me. I never knew what she looked like before I saw this video and she is as beautiful as her voice and the song.
The lyricism, song structure, melody...
