About the song
Written and produced by Vince Clarke and Andy Bell , “Breathe” is a mid-tempo love song similar in style to “ Always ”, released by Erasure in 1994 in support of their sixth studio album I Say I Say I Say and later included in his tracklist. The radio version of the song was slightly modified compared to the landscape version, primarily for intro .
The British limited release CD version of the release contained materials with which fans could create their own remixes of the song. After some time, it became possible to upload them to a separate site ( erasuredownload.com , as of 2018 does not work), specially created for exchanging remixes.
The song was viewed by fans and critics as a return of the duet to their usual musical form, which led to a comparison with the “golden days” of the duet of the late 80s - early 90s , when the tops of the British album charts reached the albums The Innocents and Chorus .
"Breathe" reached the fourth place of the British song charts . It was the best indicator for the duo's songs for the entire decade that has passed since the release of the single "Always", which also occupied the fourth line. Took the first line of the chart of Denmark . In the USA, “Breathe” was the first in eight years a duet song that hit the Billboard magazine Hot Dance Club Play chart . In the specified chart took the first line. Also ranked first in the sales chart of dance music .
The author of the single cover design is British artist Rob Ryan . On different versions of a single, the covers differ in the background color and position of individual elements — for example, leaves on tree branches [1] [2] [3] .
Music Video
The video clip on “Breathe” was shot by director Christian Bevilacqua [4] . In the story, in a large Japanese city, a little street girl unsuccessfully tries to sell matches to passersby. One passerby accidentally touches the matchbox, and the matches wake up on the sidewalk. When the girl reaches out to the scattered matches for the hands to collect them, some matches begin to dance. The snowfall begins, the girl leaves the street and goes to bed near the wall of the building and a large garbage can. She lights a match, warms her hands and soon falls asleep . A lit match dances until it burns out.
