“Breathe“ (also known as Breathe in the Air) is a song by progressive rock band Pink Floyd and appears on their album The Dark Side of the Moon. The authorship and composition of this song is credited to David Gilmour and Richard Wright for the music, and Roger Waters for the lyrics. The song is slow-paced and rich in texture, deploying David Gilmour's skilled multitrack performances of slide guitar and lead vocals in gentle, warm timbres. On the original Dark Side of the Moon album, it is a single track that is preceded by “Speak To Me“. The song is considered to be a representation of birth, with a relief from labour. Its lyrics, written by Roger Waters, beseech the listener to pause in their seemingly endless labours and take notice of more meaningful pursuits in life.
