  • Kate Bush - Breathing - Live. For me it's her best live performance.
    I only know it was for Comic Relief... probably in the 90's.
    Everytime I hear this live performance I cry.
    I cry with pain and joy at the same time...
    Very strange feeling.
    Her voice and her Fender piano move me and I can't do anything else that just listening.
    This video is strangely rare.
    I've tried to clean the image and replace the original sound with the track I have on a CD (from vinyle I guess).
    Enjoy and let your tears drop !

    When a song is entirely stripped down of its production and still shines as brightly, that's when you know it's the work of a true artist.

      Or you could read the lyrics and think "OMG, one of the greatest lyricists of all times died and was replaced with a random word generator.". I don't know what happened to the real Kate Bush, but it must have involved traumatic brain injury. She could express a universe of emotion in three lines. This person, whoever this is, is just rambling.

    Noted some comments below about this song being rushed. This also reminds me of the shortened version of R.U.T.H. at the Amnesty International "Secret Policeman's Third Ball". There may have been a time constraint. I'm guessing Kate chose one of her more powerful songs and found a way to get her message across at a faster pace. I give her credit for using this song, and still making it sound damned awesome.

    Breathing"
    Outside
    Gets inside
    Through her skin.
    I've been out before
    But this time it's much safer in.
    Last night in the sky,
    Such a bright light.
    My radar send me danger
    But my instincts tell me to keep
    Breathing,
    ("Out, in, out, in, out, in...")
    Breathing,
    Breathing my mother in,
    Breathing my beloved in,
    Breathing,
    Breathing her nicotine,
    Breathing,
    Breathing the fall-out in,
    Out in, out in, out in, out in.
    We've lost our chance.
    We're the first and the last, ooh,
    After the blast.
    Chips of Plutonium
    Are twinkling in every lung.
    I love my
    Beloved, ooh,
    All and everywhere,
    Only the fools blew it.
    You and me
    Knew life itself is
    Breathing,
    ("Out, in, out, in, out...")
    Breathing,
    Breathing my mother in,
    Breathing my beloved in,
    Breathing,
    Breathing her nicotine,
    Breathing,
    Breathing the fall-out in,
    Out in, out in, out in, out in,
    Out in, out in, out in, out...
    ("Out!")
    "What are we going to do without?"
    Ooh please!
    "What are we going to do without?"
    Let me breathe!
    "What are we going to do without?"
    Ooh, Quick!
    "We are all going to die without!"
    Breathe in deep!
    "What are we going to die without?"
    Leave me something to breathe!
    "We are all going to die without!"
    Oh, leave me something to breathe!
    "What are we going to do without?"
    Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!"
    "We are all going to die without
    Oh, life is--Breathing.

    I remember the comedy song she duetted with Rowan Atkinson but I definitely don't remember this, what a vocal! And WHAT a smile!
    '....thanks.'
    And that's it. Brings the roof down, breaks every heart in the room with that smile, then just '..thanks.' Off she goes.
