This was a really nice ballad from them! Some people thought it was a snoozer, but I really wish this had done better. They should've went with "Sick Cycle Carousel," but there were so many great songs on that album that could've been released.

Great song. I liked it better than "HBAM".
It's too bad the radio stations couldn't cut down on "HBAM" just a little bit in order to play "Breathing".

An underrated follow-up that should've done much better. It peaked at #6 on my chart.

This is by far my favorite song by Lifehouse. It didn't do as well as "Hanging By A Moment" but it is by far a superior song in my opinion

I like it, but I still think it is a "Sunny Came Home" rip off! >:(

Great song by an excellent band! I am glad that I still can hear it on the Christian CHR station that I listen to!  |

I charted this after hating "Hanging By A Moment" (I never heard "Sick Cycle Carousel").

I like it, but I still think it is a "Sunny Came Home" rip off! >:( Yes, the guitar riffs certainly sound like "Sunny Came Home". As for "Breathing" not doing well on the charts, that seems to be all-too typical of Lifehouse to have 1 successful hit per album, then the rest of their follow-up releases from the same album are shunned for whatever reason. "Hanging By a Moment" was not a favorite of mine, even when it was new. Then it became way too overplayed, and I got tired of it even further. "Breathing" had the potential to do very well at Hot AC. The only station I know of that ever gave it ample airtime was Mix 94.1 in Las Vegas. |

When this fell off after 1 week, I was surprised. I didn't follow the charts back then, so I didn't have any access to any source. It reentered, though, but still had a relatively low peak.

It's a nice little tune that I still hear on the radio once in a while. I never, however, hear "Sick Cycle Carousel" or "Spin" anymore.

I was listening to "Breathing" just the other day. Although the guitar chords sound somewhat like "Sunny Came Home", "Breathing" is not a copy or a rip-off.
Matter of fact, much of the song sounds more like Matchbox Twenty's "Unwell", and "Breathing" came out more than a year before "Unwell" did. So we know that it's not plagiarized.

I like this song, don't know why it wasn't a bigger hit on Hot AC than it was.

This song is one of the most underperforming songs of the decade. Great follow-up and if anyone knows where to get the radio version, please let me know, because they souped it up with extra instruments and it sounds great.
I really like this as well as Sick Cycle Carousel as well.
However, Somewhere In Between and Everything were amazing as well. That CD was really great.

I liked it when it first came out, but it got SOOOOO overplayed here in Florida it's not even funny. I hate it now.
