best part in my opinion : "2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song If I get it all down on paper ,it no longer inside me threatening the life it belongs to "
Thanks, agreed. Something cathartic happens when pen meets paper, and I get it out of my mind and onto paper (where it can be looked at and examined). -friend of Bill W.
I love the part where it says, "There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out and these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again. If you only try turning around."
I can completely appreciate this song at a whole new level. I have been on oxygen for 4 years. Not being able to breathe at normal capacity has changed everything in my life. Taste, smell, touch, love, relationships, empathy, sympathy, hope, faith and even how I take a shower. I can't take a deep breath, in fact, I have now learned that for me shallow breathing gets me further where I want to go. Breathing is essential for life. Embrace every breath.
I know this was posted 2 years ago but I hope you're doing better. What happened sounds awful, I can't quite imagine how I'd feel in your situation. But I imagine it wasn't fun(putting it lightly). Personally, I would like to say, Good job getting through it, and I wish you luck going forward
My son deals with a serious anxiety disorder to the degree that he has been unable to attend school for most of 8th and 9th grade. When I hear the chorus I can't help but want to whisper it to him at night. This song really moves me.
Hey I started getting anxiety in middle school to, during sophomore year it got so bad I would pass out in school cause not enough air was going to my brain cause of my hyperventilation. So they put me in a program where I'm like homeschooled but it's with the school district. And basically I only go to school for 4 hours and it's all online and I can leave whenever. I actually got ahead and now I'm starting my senior year Monday! If I keep going the pace I am, I'll be graduating in November! Probably tmi lol but I just wanted to share my story 🤷♀️
I'm actually glad I got out of there, i guess i grew up to fast but i wasnt intrested in all the high school dances and everything like every else, I like to work instead and I was able to get a car and my license and idk I'd rather grow up and be an adult with stinky bills then high school, I guess it just wasnt for me you know? To much of a bad experience lol

i'll never forget, 5 years ago, the first time you sang to me. it was this song. it was beautiful. i'll always love you, no matter how far you are, or how distant you are from my head and my heart. love you always, Rach.
This is a very beautiful and emotional song. I sometimes cry when I hear it, Yet the first time I did I cried half the night just wanting to hear it over and over again.
Idk why but your comment made me burst in tears I’m having trouble writing this cause of the tears in my eyes u wrote this 5 years ago so u probably won’t see this but I’m literally shaking rn every happy and sad moment of my life just flashed before my eyes
Father passed 12yrs ago, I still haven't recovered from his loss. He meant the world to me and I'm sure I will never fully recover. Nothing can ever fully strip the grief I feel from within, but this song helps me get some of the pain out if only temporarily.
freaking out loosing my mind over school life and everything going on at 3 am. I remembered this song had to listen and its really helping. Thank you so much Anna.
I cry every time I hear this. When I was younger and first heard this song, I didn't quite grasp the meaning and emotion in the lyrics. But looking back, I've made some decisions that I'm not proud of, and this song always pulls at my heartstrings.
Who else is here because of Covid-19? Just Breath.🙏🏼💯🤜🏼🤛🏼We will all get through this and the light will be shining for us all at the end of the tunnel💞🙌🏼
C'est cette chanson que j'avais entendue dans Grey's Anatomy qui m'a fait découvrir cette sublime voix, cette sublime chanteuse aux textes si beaux ! Thank you.
Everyone is talking about this song helping with anxiety, I played this song while pushing my baby out. It really gave me strength. Now I have a beautiful baby girl
2017 anyone? I always listen to this song when my anxiety and depression are putting me through a lot cause the lyrics "so cradle your head in your hands....and breath....just breath..." help me remember that im okay and I just need to relax 😭😭
Me too. That’s the most powerful part of the song, for me personally. The whole thing is brilliant but that part resonates me in a way I know not everyone will.
when I was younger I didn't understand the lyrics; I just knew I liked the song. Now that I understand, I love the song even more because it has more meaning to it :)
Does anyone remember that this was also played in S2E17 "It's the End of the World (As We Know It)", when Meredith pulled the bomb out of that patient, Bailey delivered Tuck (aka William George Bailey Jones) and Derek saved Bailey's husband Tucker? I just rewatched the episode and this song almost made me tear up.
I have been having trouble at school,and I was about ready to give up, and break down and cry. Just throw away everything.. but then this song came on, and now I have renewed hope and I am ready to take on the world. Thank you Anna Nalick for writing such a beautiful and inspiring song.
6thgraderfriends I heard this song when I was little, and the other night I was having a panic attack and I just kinda remembered this song. I looked it up a almost instantly calmed down.
I used to say to my son to "breathe, just breahte" over and over again when he was hurt or sick or just upset. Then when he was about ten, I had such a migraine and he held my head and said it back to me. Missing him today and can't talk to him. Decided to listen to this song and jeez, I think my heart died somewhere between verses.
Me too, I was having anxiety attacks this week multiple times this week, and I wrote "breathe" on my arm in pen and sang and listened to this its a really therapeutic song
I only discovered Anna Nalick a week or so ago when I started listening to a brand new radio station in my city. I have heard "Just Breathe" there three times now. Today I made a note of the title and singer so I could look it up here. I need to download an album with this song in it. "Life's like an hourglass glued to the table". What a great lyric. Thank you Anna, wherever you are.
i remember seeing the music video on MTV with my grandma and we both really liked the song, everytime i heard it from then on i just remember her. Even a picture doesnt remind me of her as much as this song
So love this song had part of the chorus running through my head today when I was getting a bit stressed and I just love as sad as parts of this song may be how it is just soothing as much as it hurts it soothes at the same time...So love the slow rhythm and cord progression with just amazing harmonies in this song
I was so stressed a couple moths ago and my boyfriend started singing this song. And now we forever still sing this to each other and it's like "our song" :)
Anyone whoever needs calm down or is crying hysterically trust me this song really helps just focus on breathing and isolate yourself and listen to the words and let it all out.
One of the great songs of the decade. This is ditty guys like Mozart would come up with sitting in their room wasting time. A beautifully conceived/composed paean to angst.
Some songs are just ditties that slide by on the wind; no sooner you hear them they're gone. Not this one. The performance is exquisite and makes it a transcendent work of art.
Right now I'm listening to this for fun but I know someday I'll need this song and I hate to think about it. But life is life. Life is a gift - hard times come but they also go. If you are suffering right now I pray you'll learn from the experience and that the sun shines bright again soon!
I accidentally found Anna Nalick through her song 'Shine' as I was searching for a song with the words 'shine' in it for motivational purpose for my friends going through exams at the time... it turns out to be the best accident as I am blessed with listening to her songs; all of them. I wish I can find her album in my country someday, I won't hesitate to buy them!
I first heard this from one of my classmates while they were practicing for a talent show. Amazing song and I didn’t realize how amazing of a singer my classmate was until I heard the professional song and compared it to their singing. ❤
This song is legitimately medicinal for me. It's way outside of my usual taste, but I have to come back here every time I'm stuck in a loop of worrying and overthinking.
This song has gotten me threw every hard time, low time, and impossible time. I wish whoever wrote this knew how much it's done just that.... kept me breathing.
This song deserves so much more recognition then it gets.
REMINDS ME THAT JUST CAUSE i AM OLD AND YOUNG TEENAGERS ARE SO YOUNG , LIFE SEEMS TO TOUCH US ALL THE SAME, IT DOESNT CHANGE WITH TIME, UNFORTUNATLY
And she was 17 when she wrote it!

There's such an eerie empty beauty to these lyrics.

Imo the best part is: "I feel naked naked in front of a crowd cuz these words are my diary screaming aloud."
I love the part where it says, "There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out and these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again. If you only try turning around."
60 year old dude here....this is a great song!!!!!!!!!11
One of the most underrated songs. I don't know why it isn't more known.
I can completely appreciate this song at a whole new level. I have been on oxygen for 4 years. Not being able to breathe at normal capacity has changed everything in my life. Taste, smell, touch, love, relationships, empathy, sympathy, hope, faith and even how I take a shower.

I pray for complete and supernatural healing over your body...in the mighty name of Jesus.
This song really should have been bigger. It is an absolutely beautiful song with lyrics that are so down to earth.
Getting people through anxiety attacks since 2008
yeah.
2004*
Aryan Ganesh my friend sings this to me when ever I have an anxiety attack
Aryan Ganesh 2017
Aryan Ganesh I actually woke up to one just now ....turned this song on to sing to and it honestly helps. 😀
My son deals with a serious anxiety disorder to the degree that he has been unable to attend school for most of 8th and 9th grade. When I hear the chorus I can't help but want to whisper it to him at night. This song really moves me.
I had that same problem in about 6th grade to 8th grade.

They don't make songs like this anymore 😔
tareeq brown they should
Most songs nowdays are about ass.
I know right
They really don't, and it's sad.
@Manguy mcDudebro calm down it's not that serious
Crying is the most uncomfortable feeling in the world but it feels so good afterwards.. I can’t live without songs like this
throwing up is
i'll never forget, 5 years ago, the first time you sang to me. it was this song. it was beautiful. i'll always love you, no matter how far you are, or how distant you are from my head and my heart.
love you always, Rach.
Crying when this comes on in Grey's Anatomy in the episode with the bomb in season 2. Such a touching song.
+Jessica Diemer omg yeah... i just finished those 2 episodes and glad i found this song....
that where i came from every time i watch that episode im still scared
me too😢😢
Lexie sang it when Callie in the car accident
exactly
This is a very beautiful and emotional song. I sometimes cry when I hear it, Yet the first time I did I cried half the night just wanting to hear it over and over again.
:}
:)
Itachi Uchiha Aren't you supposed to be plotting with the Akatsuki? xD

It's 2021 now ..
This brings me back to when I was in 5th grade. I'd hear it every night on my little CD player radio. Hard to believe its been 9 years.
17 years now
Life's like a hourglass, glued to the table. :)
Idk why but your comment made me burst in tears I’m having trouble writing this cause of the tears in my eyes u wrote this 5 years ago so u probably won’t see this but I’m literally shaking rn every happy and sad moment of my life just flashed before my eyes
Incredible line
this brought out things that were buried deep deep inside!! 😢
this song makes me think of my mom that died in 2019 and everytime i listen to it i can't help but cry 🥺
I’m really sorry for your loss
Such an amazing song.why cant the songs today cant be a bit like this one?with a little meaning in it?!?!
I know right
This is my anthem when I'm stress
as mine
This song is so getting me through this emotional distress
Father passed 12yrs ago, I still haven't recovered from his loss. He meant the world to me and I'm sure I will never fully recover.
Nothing can ever fully strip the grief I feel from within, but this song helps me get some of the pain out if only temporarily.
freaking out loosing my mind over school life and everything going on at 3 am. I remembered this song had to listen and its really helping. Thank you so much Anna.
and it being 4 years later, what advice would you give yourself when you commented this
How ya doing now?
I cry every time I hear this. When I was younger and first heard this song, I didn't quite grasp the meaning and emotion in the lyrics. But looking back, I've made some decisions that I'm not proud of, and this song always pulls at my heartstrings.
Have you ever been so hurt you can't cry? Have you taught yourself never to cry?
I have.
Josie Castellano i have!!!
**ur beautiful** XOXO I can't cry in front of people because they'll think I'm weak. It's weird but it's real for me. So, I definitely have:(
**ur beautiful** XOXO you can't teach yourself not to cry you can learn.
**ur beautiful** XOXO yes. Because of my mom
Greys anatomy didnt bring me here, I've been listening to this since I was very little :) like If you are the same
sad sack I don't watch Grey's Anatomy. This is a Classic Song from my Childhood.
I love greys anatomy but I shouldn’t watch it I’m to young I’m 9 and it pg13
yeah. :')
I thank my mothers tastes
Been listening to this song since I first heard it on MTV way back in 2004.
Who else is here because of Covid-19? Just Breath.🙏🏼💯🤜🏼🤛🏼We will all get through this and the light will be shining for us all at the end of the tunnel💞🙌🏼
C'est cette chanson que j'avais entendue dans Grey's Anatomy qui m'a fait découvrir cette sublime voix, cette sublime chanteuse aux textes si beaux ! Thank you.
This song has been stuck in my head the past month and I feel like it’s my mantra now. “Just breathe.”
This song is 100% poetry from the soul😓
This chorus helps gets me through some pretty tough shit
Me to
me too it helps everytime 😊
Everyone is talking about this song helping with anxiety, I played this song while pushing my baby out. It really gave me strength. Now I have a beautiful baby girl
Thank-you for writing this song Anna. The world is a more beautiful place because of it.
this song slows down my breath and heart rate
Love, love, love this song! Anna has an amazing voice!
2017 anyone? I always listen to this song when my anxiety and depression are putting me through a lot cause the lyrics "so cradle your head in your hands....and breath....just breath..." help me remember that im okay and I just need to relax 😭😭
I'm a functioning alcoholic, this song speaks to me and still does to this day as I work on my addiction.
Me too. That’s the most powerful part of the song, for me personally. The whole thing is brilliant but that part resonates me in a way I know not everyone will.
when I was younger I didn't understand the lyrics; I just knew I liked the song. Now that I understand, I love the song even more because it has more meaning to it :)

Interesting. What is "S2E17"? I want to watch
Linda Barnett Ups, I forgot to mention it was in Grey's Anatomy 😂 Season 2, Episode 17
Epic Patty Cake I was crying when the guy from the bomb squad died 😭😭😭😭
When I was watching this episode I jokingly said what if the bomb guy blew up and he did!
wasn't Lexie singing it too? When Callie was is the crash
just watched that episode of greys anatomy today!!!
same , that’s why i’m here
i just watched it the other day.. song has been stuck in my head ever since, which is why i'm here!
I knew it was a greys anatomy song.
same
I just watched the re-run of Grey's Anatomy and had to find the song lyrics. Wow
this song gives you a feeling that everything is going to be ok if you just breath and thats why i like it
This is just beautiful. The depth...amazing and it just tells a story. I am officially in love.
I have been having trouble at school,and I was about ready to give up, and break down and cry. Just throw away everything.. but then this song came on, and now I have renewed hope and I am ready to take on the world. Thank you Anna Nalick for writing such a beautiful and inspiring song.
Perfect for when you're having a panic attack.
6thgraderfriends I heard this song when I was little, and the other night I was having a panic attack and I just kinda remembered this song. I looked it up a almost instantly calmed down.
6thgraderfriends this is so true..
Yep. This helped me get through a lot.
So true helps me remember to breathe
Whenever I have an anxiety attack I sing this to myself, or my friend sings it to me.
Kate Baum I do that too
I used to say to my son to "breathe, just breahte" over and over again when he was hurt or sick or just upset. Then when he was about ten, I had such a migraine and he held my head and said it back to me. Missing him today and can't talk to him. Decided to listen to this song and jeez, I think my heart died somewhere between verses.
Me too, I was having anxiety attacks this week multiple times this week, and I wrote "breathe" on my arm in pen and sang and listened to this its a really therapeutic song
That's why im here but its the first time...i just remebered the song from hearing it in the past and came here.
welp i dont got friends and i have a good singing voice but im to shy to sing in public so i dont and so im still lonely
one time in sixth grade i wrote down every single lyric very little on an index card.. i just remember it took a long time 😳😳
I only discovered Anna Nalick a week or so ago when I started listening to a brand new radio station in my city. I have heard "Just Breathe" there three times now. Today I made a note of the title and singer so I could look it up here. I need to download an album with this song in it. "Life's like an hourglass glued to the table". What a great lyric. Thank you Anna, wherever you are.
i remember seeing the music video on MTV with my grandma and we both really liked the song, everytime i heard it from then on i just remember her. Even a picture doesnt remind me of her as much as this song
This song never gets old.... Love it!
Tip: when you have an anxiety attack and you can't listen to music, sing this song in head, just for you, it really helps♡
So love this song had part of the chorus running through my head today when I was getting a bit stressed and I just love as sad as parts of this song may be how it is just soothing as much as it hurts it soothes at the same time...So love the slow rhythm and cord progression with just amazing harmonies in this song
Lately I have just been saying the 'just breathe' part in my head when I get overwhelmed or something of the sort.
I remember hearing this on the radio as a kid. Brings back memories..
Such a beautiful song.
I miss pop music like this. I mean, I don't mind the newer stuff...but it's just not the same.
this song has gotten me through so much in the past years. like my dad being deported, my grandpa passing and my grandma passing away.
I'm so sorry! You stay strong! 😘
+Rongrong Wang
thank u
7×18 Lexie's song😍 Miss her.🔥 "you dont have to do this.I know you hate me." "I dont hate you"😢❤
This is what "bleeding onto the page" is all about in its purest form of poetry . . . sublime.
I was so stressed a couple moths ago and my boyfriend started singing this song. And now we forever still sing this to each other and it's like "our song" :)
Who knew about this song way before Greys anatomy.
Lethal Hazard high school memories brought me here
Lethal Hazard This is a Classic Song from my Childhood. I don't watch Grey's Anatomy.
the singing episode, to be exact
Nope Not me...
I haven't even watched that but me lol
How can people dislike this song its awesome
Thank you for posting this. I really needed it tonight.
I still have this song on a mixtape from FOREVER ago.
Anyone whoever needs calm down or is crying hysterically trust me this song really helps just focus on breathing and isolate yourself and listen to the words and let it all out.
I heard this song first time in the movie " A lot like love" ... :) And its so beautiful...
Memories.... remind me someone i've loved.
Thanks Greys Anatomy ...that show gave me a lot of new music lol
Love that show so much!!
One of the great songs of the decade. This is ditty guys like Mozart would come up with sitting in their room wasting time. A beautifully conceived/composed paean to angst.
One of very few songs to allow me to get my sadness out and shortly after realize I have the strength I needed.
2019 anyone this song is really good and peaceful
She's got an amazing voice
They played this song at the hospital I work at for patients who were being discharged and had been intubated due to covid 19 😢
Turn it into the song you get comfort from when life gets too much. Remember to just breathe
Some songs are just ditties that slide by on the wind; no sooner you hear them they're gone. Not this one. The performance is exquisite and makes it a transcendent work of art.
Incredible lyrics...
Joanne Gonzalez ❤❤❤
I feel Like Avril Lavigne would make a great cover of this
Yeah that would be really great *-*
Wow!! Thought the same, actually thought it was her when it debuted
holy shit that would be perfect
I'd rather have a cover by Alter Bridge. Imagine Tremonti and Kennedy owning this song!
Its not avril lavigne singing it..its anna nalick
When I was a baby, my mother sang this to me.
Right now I'm listening to this for fun but I know someday I'll need this song and I hate to think about it. But life is life. Life is a gift - hard times come but they also go. If you are suffering right now I pray you'll learn from the experience and that the sun shines bright again soon!
This song hurts a lot, but at the same time it helps me through such hard times!!
Who's still listening to this in 2017??! 🖐👍
is2g anytime im nervous or having bad anxiety I try to sing this in my head lol
Me too
+Pokemontas yes it helps alot
this music is very beautiful
Ema Montiel 👍👍👍
I accidentally found Anna Nalick through her song 'Shine' as I was searching for a song with the words 'shine' in it for motivational purpose for my friends going through exams at the time... it turns out to be the best accident as I am blessed with listening to her songs; all of them. I wish I can find her album in my country someday, I won't hesitate to buy them!
some songs can help save your life...written sooo beautifully and just makin sense...amen
I always think of Lexi Grey from Greys Anatomy when I listen to this song
Beautiful woman, fantastic episode!
I always think of Lexi too!
+Cheyanna Wing No you don't remind me of those plane crash feels
Btw
Lexie*
Cheyanna Wing what episode number was it???
Hannah Suda It's the episode where Callie and Arizona get in a car crash
love this song reminds me of my past
A lot like love movie has brought me here! ❤️
OMG! takes me back to my first period! so much emotion from one lost soul! upvotes from everyone who's bleeding! lady power #calliedorsey
I first heard this from one of my classmates while they were practicing for a talent show. Amazing song and I didn’t realize how amazing of a singer my classmate was until I heard the professional song and compared it to their singing. ❤
just found this song and I already love it
Same
Love this song.
Chris Thomas me too💔💔💔😢😢😢
They played this song on one of the most emotional episodes of Grey's anatomy
This song is legitimately medicinal for me. It's way outside of my usual taste, but I have to come back here every time I'm stuck in a loop of worrying and overthinking.
This song has gotten me threw every hard time, low time, and impossible time.

Love this ♥
Every time I hear this song I cry like a new born baby😢... but I love it... Greys Anatomy brought me here.
"You'll use these words however you want to..." Anna is a brilliant lyricist.
This song has saved my life on many occasions.
2014 and still listening to this song *
Diane Cruz 2018 and still listening to this song ❤❤❤❤
