With every waking breath I breathe
I see what life has dealt to me
With every sadness I deny
I feel a chance inside me die

Give me a taste of something new
To touch, to hold to pull me through
Send me a guiding light that shines
Across this darkened life of mine

Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe life to lay 'fore me
Breathe to make me breathe

For every man who built a home
A paper promise for his own
He fights against an open flow
Of lies and failures we all know

To those who have and who have not
How can you live with what you've got?
Give me a touch of something sure
I could be happy evermore

Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe life to lay 'fore me
To see, to make me breathe
Breathe your honesty
Breathe your innocence to me
Breathe your word and set me free
Breathe to make me breathe

This life prepares the strangest things
The dreams we dream of what life brings
The highest highs can turn around
To sow love's seeds on stony ground

Breathe
Breathe

Breathe some soul in me
Breathe your gift of love to me
Breathe life to lay 'fore me
To see, to make me breathe
Breathe your honesty
Breathe your innocence to me
Breathe your word and set me free
Breathe to make me breathe

I’m not sure who this is for but it’s not for me. Something off about the delivery, like he sounds upset about having to sing it?

Very odd plodding delivery in the verses - the chorus accurately describes what needs to be done to the verses!  Maybe that is the point. Disappointing offering from someone who can and has done spectacularly better.

Have I commented on this yet? Did any of you grow up listening to Godspell? "Preeeee-pare ye the way of the Lord...." Seriously. That's what this sounds like.

I have heard worse ...... It does not make me want to turn the speakers off, but on the other hand, I'm not turning them up either.

I was just going to complain about that last song "Breathe" but then Stevie Wonder came on and I just don't care to be negative anymore.

Believe it or not, but Midge subbed as guitarist in Thin Lizzy when Gary Moore abruptly quit back in 1979..Yep, 'tis true...

barf... I had to check whether I was listening to RP this was so bad. I thought it had changed to the New Age station.

Its Ultravox, by the by. And I think Midge has a great voice, even if this song is not his most memorable.

wheee wheeee.....reminds me of the dancing hamster song...."yo mutha f#@!@%er Wheeeeee!!!"

Sounds like that song (help me out here) "you woke up my neighborhood"...except for the silly "wheeee-wheee" parts. Not my favorite, guys. Next!

It sounds like he sampled the beginning breathing sounds from the Tom Tom Club's 'Challenge of the Love Warriors'

Midge - hey, isn't that an annoying little bug? Too bad it sings....

Nice song- this is a new one to me, but I like, I like!

originally posted by lbrc: yeah, folk with anything is aweful
i tend to like folk, but i really don't like the breathing noises in this song. in my humble opinion it distracts from the what might be a very nice song.

Mmm... Midge Ure, Bruce Cockburn, Martha & the Muffins... Takes me back to summers in Buffalo, listening to CFNY out of Toronto. Thanks!
