Today a Spanish radio station played Breathe and a Spanish fan could record it on tape and make a wav out of it.
you can listen to it at www.roxspain.com
Note: the quality is NOT the best, since it was ripped from a tape with a walkman connected to the PC BUT at least something!)
Thx to Lorena Alias Buffy
The song will be deleted when the album is out on sale.

I don´t want to know what they have locked in their safebox :(

puh been trying to get the lyrics but it´s a bit hard ;)
I did my best, help me to fill in the gaps! :)
i gotta calm down
i´ve been awake for far too long
my eyes look totally worse _________
I _____ the _______ I wrote the song
now it´s fading
my heart was open
like a window to a summer breath
[Chorus]
I breathe your love
i filled my (life in vain?)
I breathe your love
untill i felt the pain
and like rain it swept away
I try to find out
what´s love what´s really all about
behind the courtain waits the sky
it´s .... enough to cry
i´m drying up inside
my life was open
like a window to the summer breathe
I breathe your love
I filled my (life in vain?)
I breathe your love untill I met the pain
and like rain it swept away
I breathe your love
and nothing stayed the same
yes I breathe your love
and filled my heart in vain
cuz like rain it swept away

daniel_alv said on October 29, 2002 00:12:
it sounds like a very good song
but it’s a bad quality of the recording
Jud (moderator) said on October 29, 2002 00:24:
Daniel, the first post ALREADY says that the quality is bad, but still that´s better than nothing.
seba said on October 29, 2002 01:48:
for those who don’t speak spanish.
in the first part of the recording they say ......is going to be this week in “lo más 40” talking about this album. so i guess they are refering to PER doing some promotion!.
Btw for what they’ve said the version that is going to be release (next monday) in spain only contains atay and breathe as new songs.
the comments were pretty good because they said that besides the two new songs the album contains some “must have songs” like it “it must have been love”, “wish i could fly”, “spending my time” and “crash boom bang”

Please describe Breathe! I wanna wait for the real album but am eager to hear your comments!
karmakillernz said on October 29, 2002 09:07:
It’s GREAT! Such a beautiful ballad... but the quality isn’t all that great on this version so if you want full effect I’d wait for the album :)
cskendras said on October 29, 2002 10:53:
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
AND THOUGH THE QUALITY IS VERY BAD YOU CAN HEAR HOW GOOD THIS SONG IS...THANKS ROXETTE!!!
Ferdan said on October 29, 2002 10:54:
oh the middle bridge, the instrumental part, it’s almost like I en tid som vår!! you only need to change the 2 notes of each one 2 first phrases
Oliver said on October 29, 2002 11:39:
SO, NOW THERE´S NO SURPRISE ANYMORE ON “THE BALLAD HITS” FOR THE FANS.
But O.K., who cares about it.
frozen-rain said on October 29, 2002 12:10:
@Oliver: So, this was your reason ;) You could have told us this earlier, instead of saying nothing.
So there was also no surprise for you ;) BTW I think everyone is able to decide for him-/herself if he/she wants to get surprised or not ;)
I also don’t get the difference if someone was surprised as he heard Breathe yesterday or if he’s surprised when he’s listening to the song on the 4th of november… it’s just a longer period of time to wait for the song, that’s all…
carbon_boy said on October 29, 2002 13:01:
Fab song! The chorus just sounds awfully familiar....maybe like All 4 One’s “I swear”?! U decided.
Cheers
thomasc said on October 29, 2002 14:07:
Can’t wait for the album. Marie sounds in good voice (as usual). I’m impressed with the extra tracks we’re getting on TBH.
In order I like........
1. Everyday
2. A Thing About You
3. Breathe
4. The Weight Of The World
5. See Me
6. It Hurts
daniel_alv said on October 29, 2002 14:32:
mine is:
it hurts
ATAY
TWOTW
breathe (but it can climb since I have just heard it once)
every day
see me (if it’s the version from the salvation single)
room-service said on October 29, 2002 14:48:
my ranking:
a thing about you
breathe
it hurts
every day
weight of the world
I left out see me, because this one is no new track for me.
In my opinion you can see in this case a clear difference (in quality) between album songs and bonus songs or b-sides.
I love it hurts and every day, but I can understand per, when he says that these tracks are not good enough to be “real” album tracks, although there are older album tracks which are worse than these two songs ;))

Weight of the world
Every Day
erweetiran said on October 29, 2002 21:31:
Breath is nice, but I just feel there is much more unlocked potential in this song, I think the melody would have been stronger if they didn’t go the power ballad way but more the MILK way, anyway nice song...not a chart climber

Oh My God!!
I just bought the album, and this Breathe song is really _something_!! I haven’t listened the new songs (except ATAY) from the net or anything, so after reading all these wonderful comments about Breathe, the first thing I did with the new album was listen to this song. And WOW - It’s stunning!! =)
If Rox wants to hit the charts with a real hit again, this would definitely be the one.
But I’m pleased just to be able to listen something like this myself, it doesn’t matter if it’s a hit or not for others, for me it sure is! =)
And I must also say, that I really like the style with the album, the pictures, texts, colors .. everything pleases me, have nothing to complain about. Was amazing to get it so soon, almost started crying when I saw it on the shop :)
What a great day this is! =)

I just listened to Breath here at work, I had to turn the volume really low though, but still I ca say, no doubt, it would have been much more sucessfull than ATAY. Because Breath is Roxette. This is what people know Roxette for, powerfull Ballads. Roxette should release this as a Christmas single, maybe devoted to Marie and make the Video Clip out of all the tons of Marie Material there is, all the videos, like put the best video shots of marie together and put it together as a video, I know it wouldn’t be great, but better than nothing... and I know, this would do much better in the Charts than ATAY has done already! Even though it would not be Roxettes usual strategy, releasing singles, A Ballad after a Ballad... they would still have a hit for sure with this song.

It’s the same MP3 anyway...
roxtexanet said on October 28, 2002 21:45:
Wow! I’m going to be picky and wait until the CD comes out, but I’ll be curious to hear what others think of “Breathe”... if it’s good enough (and the Spanish station couldn’t resist airing it because of that), Rox will be forced to release it as a single (-:
I dream away...
