For that performance, 'Breathe' and 'Breathe (Reprise)' were combined to form one song.

The song was played at the Live 8 concert and features on the DVD.

The Pulse CD and DVD features a live version of the song with a run time of 2:33.

This song was one of several to be considered for the band's 'best of' album, Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd. 'Breathe' has also been seen to 'embrace ecology'. Īlong with the other Pink Floyd tracks, 'Time' and ' The Great Gig in the Sky', 'Breathe' is seen as Gilmour 'carving out a more distinctive style' with the introduction of blues-based chords and solos. The chords for much of the song alternate between E minor(add9) and A major, with a turnaround appearing before the verses and then functioning as a chorus, consisting of C major seventh, B minor seventh, F major seventh, D7( ♯9) and D7( ♭9). A one-minute reprise features at the end of the song ' Time', without the slide guitar and using Farfisa organ and Wurlitzer electronic piano in place of Hammond organ and Rhodes piano. Since this track segues into 'Breathe' via a sustained backwards piano chord, the two are conjoined on most CD versions of the album. On the original album, it is a separate track from ' Speak to Me', the sound collage that opens the first side. The song is slow-paced and rich in texture, and features Gilmour playing the electric guitar with a Uni-Vibe and lap steel guitar with a volume pedal and several overdubs. Well, yeah, I can cop that, but it's kind of simplistic stuff.' 'Breathe in the air / Don't be afraid to care' – that's the opening couplet. It's like a rather wonderful, naive painting. Dark Side, admitted the latter, 'is a little adolescent and naive in its preoccupations, but I'm not belittling it. The authorship and composition of this song is credited to David Gilmour and Richard Wright for the music and Roger Waters for the lyrics.
