- Like Breathing from Pasek and Paul's EDGES sung by Farah Alvin, Whitney Bashor, Steven Booth, Colin Hanlon
www.pasekandpaul.com - Hudba
I think we should all start a petition to get this on Broadway or at least a cast recording! Who's with me?
ME ME ME!
BRING THIS SHOW BACK AND DO A CAST RECORDING
COULD NOT AGREE MORE!
Anyone else feel like crying after the 4 "I'm not afraid."? Goodness gracious, it's so clear and bone-chillingly beautiful!!
I constantly come back to this song whenever life seems too heavy. Never fails to make me feel better.
I was in show choir in high school and my senior year our theme was basically don't be afraid to be who you are and like breathing was our ballad and I'm so glad I got to sing this I absolutely adore this song 3
Pasek and paul are geniuses, I don't understand why they aren't more well known!! They have such range with music from hilarious to deeply touching!!!
They are more well known now, with Dear Evan Hansen and La La Land
Holly Kennedy it's all a process... now they can get backing for more and do the original stuff the way it was supposed to be. Thank god for Evan Hanson! Nothing happens overnight, but with this new social media everything is changed👍❤️
this aged well
I wish EDGES was on iTunes :(
Goosebumps.
This version of the song never gets old. It is so beautifully composed and performed! After 2 years, I still come back to watch.
I still love this song so much!
I actually cried listening to this today. This song is so appropriate right now, especially when you feel like you'll never achieve your dreams. Have to stop being afraid and start living!
Farah Alvin is life.
First time I've heard anything from Edges and wow! This is gorgeous
I really can't help but love how they all come off the final "become" perfectly in tandem.
We are singing this in choir :D
I love it!
Great playlist. Those are some of the best songs to not only listen to but to perform. Amazing choices
i love this song. it just never gets old.
One of the most amazing songs I've ever heard!
I'm obsessed with this song!
Omg. This is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard!
I was there for the very first production of this show. With this cast. Absolutely incredible.
omgosh I am now obsessed with this musical!!😍😍😍 I love perfect!
absolutely incredible, four powerhouse singers! So inspiring to see this done so well, I'm looking forward to working with this show!
i love this song!!! I love this piece!!! Please release the whole song :) I love all four of these people!! Love from the UK!!
Amazing voices! This is so addictive 😍
i LOVE Whitney Bashor's voice. new idolll :)
My God, I love this!
Absolutely Beautiful!!!!
The echo at 3:50 is BREATHTAKING
goosebumps again?!
love love love
This is one of the best videos of the 20,000+ I've watched on CZcams over the last two years. I can't say enough good about it. Kudos to all involved. Thanks to AKB who first introduced me to this song and to Benj and Justin.
this song is AMAZING

Benj and Justin - you know how much I love your music. This performance is the ideal showcase of your work. The music, lyrics and singers are all brilliant.
Thanks for re-posting this - I've missed it so much!
God bless you for putting this up...
This song helps with college stress so much. Really.
wow! beautiful song
This is so beautiful...It makes me cry. Especially at 3:52
That last chord is pure brilliance. Granted, the whole song is amazing, of course, but still.
I saw this show twice with Pasek and Paul on the instrumentals with these actors. What a wonderful show you guys put on at Capital Rep in Albany! Please come back soon :)
OH MY GOD. this made my life.
It took me 3 years to understand at least in part what's this song is about. It's just amazing. It's just moving. It's just true.
Just amazing. This and the rest of the songs have to be on iTunes.
I didn't know that this was the finale to "Edges".
I've been aware of versions of the show that end with a version of "Coasting" with this same reprise of "Become" at the end.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.. it is back!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU
Notice how there have been 0 dislikes, that just shows how awesome this song and show is.
I can never get over this song. Video of my friends and I singing it on my CZcams channel.
You start off with a question. (Do I really wanna see?)
You wonder, and you doubt. (Do I really wanna know?)
You know there's something greater, (Do I wanna grow?)
But you can't figure out what road you'd take to get there.
Or where this 'there' might be.
But you're ready to discover,
'Cause you really wanna see.
You open up your eyes,
Study and review, what you do.
You force yourself to grow.
Let that go.
Let it be like breathing.
It could be like breathing.
Let it be like breathing.
Take away the questions,
Cover up my eyes.
Help me notice beauty.
Let denim colored skies shower me with sunlight.
Let warmth fall down like rain.
Render me unable.
To possibly explain.
I want to search for words, and not know what to say (that's okay)
I don't need to know,
Let that go.
Let it be like breathing.
It could be like breathing.
Let it be like breathing.
Let go of feeling you are anything but beautiful.
Let go of thinking you can't do this on your own.
Let go of being scared that you might not be good enough.
Let go of saying you were meant to be alone.
Ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah,
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
I'm not afraid!
To be...
Who I am, who I want to become.
Become.
Become.
Become, become, become, become.
Become!
Ahhh! This song is very pretty! :D I'm singing this song for my ShowChoir ballad this year :D
Brilliance!
It needs to be asap!!!
Omg WHOA u guys are AMAZING!!! why isn't this song on iTunes!?!
you are the "Rodgers and Hammerstein" of our generation. beautiful work.
I'm pretty sure I can speak for my best friend and I, that this is now our favorite song in musical theatre (which is saying a lot!), and this is clearly the best version. it's a little disturbing how often we listen to this song, probably responsible for half the views on this vid =)
Does anyone know of a place where I can get an audio version of this song.
i hope pasek and paul will sell the sheet music for this song on their website cuz i love singing their songs
yah they're back!
THIS IS AMAZING.
best song
This is easily one of the best contemporary pieces out there.
PS Has anybody else noticed at 1:35 "Take away the questionsssk?" lol I love it.
Where. Is. The. Cast. Album. Please.
I completely agree. I have to make do with listening to the audio only on the pasek and paul website.
Thanks so much! It really helped :D
Studio recording when? Please?
this is like next to normal only so much better.
* I don't need to know- let that go. *
those words are SO powerful...
goodness. L
yes please
Ugh, why can't this version be in the version available for licensing??????
+accompanist603 It is, its in the optional material.
@@jdemlow713 No it isn't
Every word's so
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
When the slowness of the day is gone
Leaving shadow-like feelings to depend upon
Every word's so
Every word's so fragile
Inside passion that feels like chasing rain
You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath - gently
And the tease cries weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower
When the danger in the touch is gone
Changing delicate evenings to reflecting ones
And the tease cries weeping listless laughter
Always thirsty like an attractive flower
You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath - gently
You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath
You sleep like breathing
You sleep like breath
You sleep like breathing
@MMKLproductions this show has no real plot, it is a song cycle showing the lives and struggles of several different types of people. There is the person who is completely terrified of finding love, and there is the sisters growing apart, the best guy friends discussing their meaning of the best day ever, the songs they sing together represent something most people have in common, a fear of being one's self and the final discovery that you are perfect the way you are. this is a wonderful show!
@simsVids15 It is a simmilar style. There are only four characters in edges and they all have intertwining stories that eventually link back to their original introduction in the beginning. but I see it as Pasek and Paul wrote some kick ass songs about just about every situation a person can deal with and just decided to write it into a giant song cycle. unlike in SFANW they arent anyone in particular though, they are just everyday people that you might see walking down the street.
Please please publish this
when is this comin out on CD???
where can I get the sheet music to this song? It's the only one I can't find
3:50 on i have chills
oh and can anyone tell me what notes they're on in the final chord. I can hear the bass/soprano but can't pick the alto/tenor.
omgggg
@TheDJFrizz Where's that? Like what State and school?
@TheDJFrizz Awhh, I hope you get the solo! Good luck!
@TheDJFrizz Really? What show choir are you in?
I've been looking everywhere for the lyrics of this song! Can someone please tell me where to find them? And don't say Google, haha ;)
@ShowchoirGirl8989 Yes! Fascinating Rhythm '10-11' :D
Hi Nikki! (:
is this at capital rep?
@uberdork987 thanks that's what it sounds like to me too.
@shihtzulover24: I am going to say google :-) Just put in "like breathing lyrics edges" and it's the fourth or so hit down on Wiki answers.
Such an amazing song!
@MMKLproductions
there really isn't a plot. It's a song cycle. No characters, just a series of songs.
this music and the set and everything kind of reminds me of next to normal i don't know why it just kind of has that feel. I don't kow i just really like this show and next to normal lol
Perhaps they changed it; this was the first professional production of the show. This would be an awesome finale if it was the finale, don't know why they would change it.
@SimsVids15 He eventually gets to the note at 4:26 but initially it's extremely flat. Again, like I said - it was great and then out of nowhere comes this backwards approach. Oh well.
colin hanlon reminds me of raul esparza...
Not true. There's an Edges recording.
@TheDJFrizz Oh, sweet. I'm in an all girls group. Ohio, Hamilton High.
OMG SO FUCKING GOOD HOLY SHIT
The gye looks like my cousin...
Lela really it's so eassy
Does anyone else hate the key change thingy? Its not the singers fault, I just haven't liked it anywhere I've seen it. Am I the only one?
The guy in the grey - WHY DID YOU CHANGE YOUR VOWEL? He is soooooooo flat on the second to last chord! So bad. It hurt worse because the rest of the song was GREAT! The vowel went straight to his throat. Give a listen, it's awful.
