Breathing Explanation

 This song came from a finger-picking pattern that I had played with for a long time. I capo it up 4 frets and add some delay.

This song is actually the oldest of the recordings I have, since I recorded the guitar tracks for it long before I had vocals or lyrics for it. The instrument tracks were recorded around 3 years ago.

Even though it predates the concept album, I shoe-horned it into the album plans, calling it Breath of Heaven.

Breathe

Don’t breathe it in too deep
Or you’ll start to think too deep
And then you’ll sink too deep
Into things you’d rather not be

It’s much safer here
No joys, no fear
It’s much safer here
With no alarms this year

Build the walls real high
On your castle in the sand
Trading in your life
For a little piece of land

It’s much safer here
No smile, no tear
It’s much safer here
You’re in control here

The haunting eyes of love
Follow you
Connecting ties of love
Hold you

It’s safe here
Lion arms so near
Full of joy and tears
You live again this year

So breathe it in deep
Awake from your sleep
This air didn’t come cheap
So breathe it in deep
