About "Breathing" (Patreon)

"Out of Gas" is one of my favorite episodes. It was before I started the In the 'Verse podcast, and even more so now. That's because of that line at the beginning of the episode, "Treat her properly. She'll be with you for the rest of your life."

That's how Malcolm Reynolds treats his ship. That's how he treats his crew. That's how he treats life. It's about loyalty and respect, no matter the challenges. That's the direction I took for my song "Breathing" from the episode.

I try to slip in deeper meanings each time I write a song. So this one contrasts love and relationships with fighting to stay alive and keep that relationship strong. It's about sticking with someone through thick and thin. It's about fixing the broken engines of our lives to keep love strong.

And it's about breathing.

I am meditating a lot these days. I feel like I need to calm my fractious soul. I need quite time to just breath. Deeply. It helps. It clears my head of worries. It gives me rest.

And when "Out of Gas" is just as much as symbol of out of breath... on the verge of losing that life, meditating and breathing give me more life.

I hope you will take a deep breath when you listen. Find some peace and enjoy singing along with me.
