I actually really dig the chorus! But yeah its definitely a bside, pretty damn good one at that, if only just for the lyrics.

It's a decent song...I'm super happy to finally have it, but it's not what I thought it would be all these years. It's pretty dreary I guess is the word. I can see why it was a b-side given the other songs on ODR though. It almost feels a little unfinished to me. Like they would've polished it up a bit more had it not been a b-side.

I wish I could have heard it back in 2004-2005 though. Wonder what I would have thought of it back then.

Well shit, I didn't know about this. Looks like I'm going to have to buy the album twice to get this one :(

I have to say, I kind of was a little disappointed with Breathe. I think the one minute snippet just hit me like a Category-4 hurricane going over Haiti.

I just miss ODR so much. I need Myles solo album so bad.

I have a question.
I'm from Portugal, and i bought the album here, so of course there's no Breathe. And i can't order it from Best Buy.
So does anyone know if there is a chance for me to listen to this track?

Don't the B sides eventually make it to iTunes after awhile? Pretty sure you can find Home and Zero there.

I don't know. For instance Outright is not on iTunes.

outright hasn't been released yet. Do you mean Never Say Die? I thought that it was, but maybe I'm wrong.

You are exactly right.

I mean I don't know what to tell you other than doing things I shall not mention. Very strange.

AB23 will go to Best Buy tomorrow for you. Shoot him your address via PM and PayPal him the money for reimbursement. He'll mail it out tomorrow.

The main bonus tracks and B-Sides make it over; Save Me, Home, Zero, New Way To Live, Never Born To Follow and We Don't Care At All are all there. But the Best Buy exclusives, Never Say Die and The Damage Done, have never been added to Spotify or iTunes. So I wouldn't hold your breath (see what I did there) for this one to be on either any time soon.

What I dont understand is that the USA keep having exclusive tracks, whereas AB's main market is in Europe. It doesn't make any sense.

They probably want more sales in the US so they can get bigger here. So, they offer exclusives to stores to drive up sales there. Multiple exclusives makes stores compete with each store getting their own exclusive they think will garner them more sales or people buying multiple copies causing even more sales for the band in total.

That's odd. I too am hoping to buy "Breathe" from somewhere....anywhere (anyone?). I've got Outright (Never Say Die) and I'm SURE I bought it from iTunes back in the day. But, yeah its not on there now.

So....Breathe....where???
