Breathe (Pink Floyd Song)
"Breathe" (sometimes called "Breathe (In the Air)") is a song by English rock music, rock band Pink Floyd. It appears on their 1973 album ''The Dark Side of the Moon''. Authorship and composition The authorship and composition of this song is credited to David Gilmour and Richard Wright (musician), Richard Wright for the music and Roger Waters for the lyrics. Waters said ''The Dark Side of the Moon'' "is a little adolescent and naïve in its preoccupations, but I'm not belittling it. It's like a rather wonderful, naïve painting. 'Breathe in the air / Don't be afraid to care' – that's the opening couplet. Well, yeah, I can cop that, but it's kind of simplistic stuff."
