Songs About Breathing, Vol. 1

My sinuses and allergies have been giving me fits lately. What I wouldn't give to just be able to breathe out of both my nostrils without the aid of decongestants! Which got me thinking about songs with the word "Breathe" (or one of its forms) in their titles. There's quite a few of them, actually. Many which I really like. And that's how this post, as well as its follow-up later today, came to be. Enjoy!  ~  JH
