EXCELLENT! So many entertainers want to associate themselves with saving the world, saving the whales, saving the Amazon rainforest, etc. The more grandiose to match their egos. How refreshing that someone actually noticed the people around him and in his own backyard for change! Start making a difference one person at a time. Thank you Ryan Star!
I seriously can’t believe this song wasnt a raging hit in 2010. I always remembered the music video coming on in the morning before school. I truly adore this
Me and my wife are married 16 years. And we remember small concert in Seattle with Justin nazuka. We fell more in love that night. Wow we were ypungins!
I still remember Ryan from a tv show I saw as an elementary school kid. He was trying to become apart of Supernova, but didn't make it. He should've. He was amazing. I can't even remember who won, Luc or something or another. He'll always be my "dark horse."
while most people today sing about drugs, love, sex and money, there's only a few who stay geniune and sing songs about LIFE! ryan star knows how to sing from the soul! :)
12 people are not human. I'm sorry for my english,i'm italian(NAPLES) and i love too much music by ryan star. I listen every day last train home...it is the soundtrack of my life. Great ryan ...still so great! ;)
I've been hearing this song for months on the radio, but none of the DJ's ever say who it's by. And I've searched it a couple of times in the past and couldn't find it. But guess what, I finally found it!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!! This is an awesome song!!!!!!!!!!
If I don't find a job soon, and I mean immediately, we're going to lose our house. I don't know where we'll go. We have so much debt and things seem very dire. This song helps me get through the day. Thanks Ryan.
I have spent alot of time feeling so lost and so alone. This video made me realize that this is bigger than all of us but we must never give up. I hope many have seen this video. The Unemployed, the Employed, the Employers ,Big Businesses Creditors and The Government!!! Living in fear of losing everything down to our children is debilitating! This is a beautiful way to say how we all feel!!!
im working like hell up to 20 hrs per day for the sake of my family but what the heck this song, just makes my day!!! breaaathhheeee!!!! ^_^ happy new year
Ryan STAR is WORTH HIS NAME....11:59 is the absolute BEST Contemporary Mainstream Rock LP of the 21th century and full of hidden gems like this one...INSPIRATIONNAL...
Ur awesome Ryan! Good memories of ur show in Cleveland years ago. U were the best and still R! Keep on singing! Sincerely Ginger (Stu was always proud of having u under his wing.)
God Bless Ryan Star for bringing us (we, the unemployed) back into focus. I have been unemployed for 2 years,after working for almost 30 years and paying my taxes like a responsible American, where's MY bailout? Doe they care if we can feed our children? Mr. Obama, we are the ones who's have paid for all the other bailouts you have passed through. Without us, you would have no one to govern. Without us, you'd have no paycheck. WE MATTER!~ It's time we all stand up and have our voices heard!!
you're right. I think it's also about the fear you will let down the one's most important to you. That guilt and shame you feel when you feel inadequate, when you feel like you've disappointed your wife/husband, children or yourself. That feeling like you could have done more, what if, or to lie to your starving child telling them it will be ok (when you don't believe it yourself). It's a good song either way
I was going through a tough time when listening to this song. I met Ryan and he sensed my trouble. He told me let it go that person isnt worth it. I smiled at him and listened to this song and cried my heart out. I love you Ryan
I absolutely love this song (: It relieves so many people to hear this song. Many artists now a days have lost that true art of music, of sending those valuable messages. Ryan Star has done it.
He's always had a great voice and he's wicked nice in person unlike some singers. I just hope he stays that way as he rapidly becomes more and more known.
This song is awesome, is helping me a lot in my recovery of depression and anxiety... and my physician has told me that life is about leaving your troubles behind and leaving all the weight you carry inside.
haven't heard this song in 7-8 years. But im going through a really tough and stressful time right now and I randomly thought of this song and had to come listen to it again. Now im hooked. This song is helping me through a lot
I lost my job, we had to move out of our house into an apartment, I have to support me, my wife, and my four children. I hope things get better, I pray every night for a miracle. And this song helps me get through it.
I don't bother listening to lyrics anymore because nowadays lyrics don't come from the heart and soul. But this guy really knows what music is about. :)
Beautifull job on this Video Ryan !! cool song too. We need more music like this nowadays that speaks bout truth and reality. Can't get anymore CLEARER than this right here!! KUDOS !! R.Star fell in love w/ u the minute i saw you RSSN !!
my grandpa pasted away 9-9-2009 ... everyone in my family got over it but me every saays im depressed cuuz of him beinqq gone..everytime someone says grandpa or ron(his name) or somethinq that reminds me of him i ALWAYS get chocked up ndd wanna cry but then i think of this sonq ndd it makes thinqs better i miss ndd love u grandpa they miqht have forgottne but i havent
This is Beautiful, I just heard it for the first time on the Radio, and I am an Awakened Being, well, I recently re~connected with my long lost Love from 30 years ago this past Christmas, when he went home he had a stroke, then last week had surgery in his neck, and 2 days later, the incision opened and he almost bled to death, he is now in ICU, Just starting to Breath on his own, and when I heard this it reminded of my siuation.I know God sends us messages & Angels in Music. I got the message
I'm so glad this song is out here for people to hear. It is truly inspirational. It always makes me feel better and it lets me know that I have people around me that will always be there for me. :)
When this song first came out I was 9 and it was my escape from reality! I was getting bullied at school, my older sister was sick with cancer, and lost a friend to cancer! I did dream of running away and living out my dreams too! I wanted to be an actress, singer/musician, or something like that! I still listen to it now! I still have many dreams and big plans for my future but idk what yet!
It's a shame, you know, this guy has truly amazing songs, yet he isn't that popular. But I'm really glad that there are people who still know what real music is.
this song is incredible.... i caught 30 seconds of it by accident and just had to have it.... i could listen to it on repeat for the rest of my life......... its that good....
Ryan and the gang... I can't say enough great things about you guys at the show tonight... I often dread the opening acts of concerts... it's hard for me to get into "new" music... well what a great surprise... I knew some of their songs and had no idea they sang them. But the icing on the cake is truly how great the guys are. My experience with them (both in person and in the audience) has absolutely made a HUGE fan out of me. Thanks guys!
I caught Ryan at the HOB Houston this past weekend. He really wasn't even supposed to be there but apparently Green River Ordinance asked him to join the tour for awhile. I gotta say, dude was really good live. I'd say even better than the recorded versions. (And the recorded version are great)
in my life i have let so many people keep me down & i've let fear keep me from being who i was meant to be ; this song makes me remember that this is my life & i have the power to do whatever i set my mind to
I can never watch this video without crying. It is a rude awakening of what people are going through and as the song puts it, we just need at times to "breathe" and keep on being strong for ourselves for those we love
Wow Ryan is doing well! I 've followed him for years since I bought his solo album and watched him on Rockstar Supernova ( watch some of his performances on youtube there if you've never heard them). I knew he'd make it big. Incredible artist who has a big future in this industry. Good for him!
This video has a very strong meaning, especially to me. there were periods throughout my childhood when my mom (single mom) and I have struggled due to unemployment. She has tremendous experience as a phlebotomist for 30+ years. when she is able to utilize her skills,patients are grateful for making drawing blood an easygoing process. its just the process of finding a job that's so hard! she's working prn now and it seems like indentured servitude, but its better than nothing.
i downloaded this song onto my iPod thinking it was a different song and i fell in love with it. it is a beautiful song and really speaks to me. keep singing mr. star
this song gave me strength to keeping moving on when I got lad off a year ago now I'm working again and I loving what I'm doing. thank you Ryan star for your inspiring words. :)
Your music saved me from some real trouble, Ryan ! Thank you very much, i dont know if you will read this coment, but if you do, please know that you helped me a lot ! Thank you, from Brazil !
LOVE IT! What a great reminder for not only our friends going through the struggle but also for those us that simply need to support and love them through it.
this guy is great!!! this song was free on itunes and i got it just cuz it was free but it's an amazing song!!! this guy is extremely good!!!! WAY WAY BETTER than artists on the radio. next time i'm calling in and requesting him or at least telling them to look him up. YOURE AMAZING RYAN!!!!! KEEP SINGING!!!!!
95 ratings and still a solid 5 stars. What more can one say? You know I've loved you since the early days of Stage and you just keep getting more powerful all the time. As always, a fan for life.
This is an amazing video by a rising rock star... tied to a very worthy cause that I hope many will find useful. If you haven't seen Ryan perform live, run, don't walk.
Great song Ryan! My wife and I learned about you during Rockstar: Supernove. We thought you should have won but we won by learning about you. Hopefully we will continue to see more of you.

Coronavirus lockdown 2020 got me going back to the classic 👌👌👌
me too
Damn bto
"Pray. Just pray. Take the world off your shoulders and put it on Me" would be good lyrics for this song. Love the song.
13 anos de Breathe hoje! Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

I seriously can’t believe this song wasnt a raging hit in 2010. I always remembered the music video coming on in the morning before school. I truly adore this
His music isn't very well known at all. If it wasn't for that INXS show I'd never heard of him.
Me and my wife are married 16 years. And we remember small concert in Seattle with Justin nazuka. We fell more in love that night. Wow we were ypungins!
Still here. Still rocking to this. Thank you Ryan.
I still remember Ryan from a tv show I saw as an elementary school kid. He was trying to become apart of Supernova, but didn't make it. He should've. He was amazing. I can't even remember who won, Luc or something or another. He'll always be my "dark horse."

Thumbs up if time you come to watch Breathe, you share it on facebook because you know many people who could really use it in their lives.
This song stops my three year old brother from crying. He adores this song.
d1men sions it makes me cry, and I also love this song!
When I was little, it'd make me cry.
Glad it stops the BIG MAN from crying... He just needs to breathe right??? Semper Fidelis from Viva Las Vegas, NV USA

Great Song, Emotional Song & A great Emotional Video, And as an UNEMPLOYED for a long long long time Myself I feel totally connected to this Song!..
im working like hell up to 20 hrs per day for the sake of my family but what the heck this song, just makes my day!!! breaaathhheeee!!!! ^_^ happy new year
To anyone out there who is struggling... it will get better because there is nowhere to go but up once you hit the bottom.
More than ever the world needs to take a BREATHE
This is a great inspirational video. Proves why visual media gets the point across!
Love this song, love this guy, his voice, his outlook, his ability to feel deeply.
Does anyone else remember Ryan Star on Rockstar: Super Nova? It was a show on CBS. Ryan was always my favorite!
Ryan Star should've done more! Great stuff........................................
What A Beautiful Song! =D
He Should Be Number 1 All Over the World for the love of God!
I've always loved this song...still do
Ryan STAR is WORTH HIS NAME....11:59 is the absolute BEST Contemporary Mainstream Rock LP of the 21th century and full of hidden gems like this one...INSPIRATIONNAL...
21th? I'm guessing you're the dude who printed the street sign(for 21th st) too? Lol 😆
Ur awesome Ryan! Good memories of ur show in Cleveland years ago. U were the best and still R! Keep on singing! Sincerely Ginger (Stu was always proud of having u under his wing.)
God Bless Ryan Star for bringing us (we, the unemployed) back into focus.

This is so sad-- but so true ):
Glad to see amazing singers like Ryan trying to help others in therir times of need
shine on bright like a star even if the sky turns grey.
amazing song.
you're right. I think it's also about the fear you will let down the one's most important to you. That guilt and shame you feel when you feel inadequate, when you feel like you've disappointed your wife/husband, children or yourself. That feeling like you could have done more, what if, or to lie to your starving child telling them it will be ok (when you don't believe it yourself).
It's a good song either way
A Man with compassion and talent.
I was going through a tough time when listening to this song. I met Ryan and he sensed my trouble. He told me let it go that person isnt worth it. I smiled at him and listened to this song and cried my heart out. I love you Ryan
I absolutely love this song (:
It relieves so many people to hear this song.
Many artists now a days have lost that
true art of music, of sending those valuable
messages. Ryan Star has done it.
How is it that this guy isn't a massive hit already? This is real music, not the crap you hear on radio nowadays.
such a underrated song
Such a criminally underrated and still a relevant song today.
He's always had a great voice and he's wicked nice in person unlike some singers. I just hope he stays that way as he rapidly becomes more and more known.
This song is awesome, is helping me a lot in my recovery of depression and anxiety... and my physician has told me that life is about leaving your troubles behind and leaving all the weight you carry inside.
haven't heard this song in 7-8 years. But im going through a really tough and stressful time right now and I randomly thought of this song and had to come listen to it again. Now im hooked. This song is helping me through a lot
They used to play this on the radio all the time here, I wish they'd go back to playing it.
Me too, same here.
WOW... I teared up. Great uplifting song.
@thatwastheday I've met Ryan twice and both times, he was one of the nicest, most honest people I've ever met. I can't wait to see him live again.
I lost my job, we had to move out of our house into an apartment, I have to support me, my wife, and my four children. I hope things get better, I pray every night for a miracle. And this song helps me get through it.
God bless you, brother
I don't bother listening to lyrics anymore because nowadays lyrics don't come from the heart and soul. But this guy really knows what music is about. :)
Well done....EXCELLENT song, and thanks for going the extra mile to bring attention to an important issue.
this is the kind of song that changes peoples' lives.............
This Song Is Like, Wow. It Definitley Made A Difference To Me. (: Yr One Of The Best Singers I've Ever Heard. Very Inspirational. (:
If.. It's love... And we decide that it's forever, no one else can do it better! love this song! wait a second.. this isn't Train!!! Haha..

I got the message
Replace the word “Breathe” with “Pray” and this becomes the perfect and ultimate contemporary Christian (CCM) song!
I'm so glad this song is out here for people to hear. It is truly inspirational. It always makes me feel better and it lets me know that I have people around me that will always be there for me. :)
I learned of this song on Rick Dees, so hopefully it should be on the radio!
Forever a classic. ❤️
This is my 3rd UA-cam profile in 12 years...
And back to this we always come.
Thank you.
LOVE IT! I LOVE all of Ryan's Songs..
Love this song!!! Shared it on Facebook!!
I love this song "Breathe" Ryan Star is a great singer!!!
This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Love it.
When this song first came out I was 9 and it was my escape from reality! I was getting bullied at school, my older sister was sick with cancer, and lost a friend to cancer! I did dream of running away and living out my dreams too! I wanted to be an actress, singer/musician, or something like that! I still listen to it now! I still have many dreams and big plans for my future but idk what yet!
Also, back then when I was a kid my family and I were homeless for a while, too.
Brought me to tears. No surprise, Ryan's voice expresses a soul. Which is so refreshing to hear and feel.
thats what i did through my chemo....just breathe!!!awesome song!
It's a shame, you know, this guy has truly amazing songs, yet he isn't that popular. But I'm really glad that there are people who still know what real music is.
this song is incredible.... i caught 30 seconds of it by accident and just had to have it.... i could listen to it on repeat for the rest of my life......... its that good....
I love this song. It's weird, I heard them as an opening band and couldn't stand them because they were so loud! And now I like them
Ryan and the gang... I can't say enough great things about you guys at the show tonight... I often dread the opening acts of concerts... it's hard for me to get into "new" music... well what a great surprise... I knew some of their songs and had no idea they sang them.

Wow if this song doesn't speak of the present times, i don't know what else does. Also, what an awesome voice, I'm a fan for sure.
I can never watch this video without crying. It is a rude awakening of what people are going through and as the song puts it, we just need at times to "breathe" and keep on being strong for ourselves for those we love
really good song. I love it

i kinda like this song because it actually says something, so many songs these days don't have any meaning to them
What ever gives you the strengh to go through rough times is something you should hold on to, no matter what other people say
Beautiful song, gives me goosebumps. Go see him live if you get the chance... he is fantastic.
This video has a very strong meaning, especially to me. there were periods throughout my childhood when my mom (single mom) and I have struggled due to unemployment. She has tremendous experience as a phlebotomist for 30+ years. when she is able to utilize her skills,patients are grateful for making drawing blood an easygoing process. its just the process of finding a job that's so hard! she's working prn now and it seems like indentured servitude, but its better than nothing.
i downloaded this song onto my iPod thinking it was a different song and i fell in love with it. it is a beautiful song and really speaks to me. keep singing mr. star
So much emotion in this song. He nail'd this one all the way home.
It´s an amazing video, and we need more songs and videos like this. Love this song!!!... U have to hear it.. NOOOW!!!
this song gave me strength to keeping moving on when I got lad off a year ago now I'm working again and I loving what I'm doing. thank you Ryan star for your inspiring words. :)
