JUST BREATHE IS A FEEL-GOOD TUNE ABOUT NOT OVERREACTING AND ACCEPTING WHAT WE CANNOT CHANGE.
With a catchy melody, powerful harmonies, and uplifting lyrics, this song was written at a dark time in my life. When I moved from Oregon to Tennessee to be with a woman I met online and fell in love with, things did not work out after three years of living together. She kicked me out.
Thousands of miles from any family, and low on money even with two jobs, I couldn’t find a place to stay for months. So I slept in my car during that time. Sleeping in the cold, with more bills than income, one thing after another happened to my car, and at work. When it rained, it definitely poured.
A melody came into my head when I was taking a shower one day, and I almost tripped and fell out of the shower to get to my phone so that I could sing the melody I had into my voice recorder before I forgot it. About three hours after my shower, I had most of the lyrics written, and Just Breathe was born.
I spent the next few months singing it to myself as things progressively got worse, and to my surprise, it actually helped me keep a positive attitude through it all. It was as if I had created my own medicine.
I wrote this song for that very purpose and I highly anticipate, and hope, that Just Breathe will do the same for everyone who listens. Anybody can easily relate to this one, and I truly hope it serves its purpose of bringing peace into people’s lives, even if only for a few minutes.
