Those same qualities have caused Brett's songs to be featured on TV shows like The Real World on MTV and Kourtney and Kim Take New York, on the popular Kardashian culture, and his feet firmly planted on some of the best-known stages of the world. : The Roxy, The Troubador, The Viper Room, sharing those stages with some of the best and brightest pop music, from Colbie Caillat to Gavin DeGraw and Katy Perry.
Not bad for what Brett Young once thought would be just a "hobby". But when a big elbow injury and reconstructive surgery finally got him out of the pitcher's mound, he discovered that his love for music became much more, and what the thought was that the end was just the beginning.
"They all leave a trail of 'memories' and bittersweet memories on the way to 'the one'," says Brett. "It happened to me on my trip, it happens to everyone, I now use those moments when I write music, I guess it's lucky for me that people relate more easily to the anguish, I'm an emotional and hopeless romantic who feels everything and that It shows in my songs. "
With three independent albums already to his credit, Brett will bring his latest batch of songs to the studio with David Hall at the helm of production, known for his GRAMMY award-winning work as an engineer, with artists from almost every genre. And true to form, he will be showing that intensity and emotion in his recordings, from songs like "Fire" and "Breathe Again".
"I grew up with Al Green, singers of Marvin Gaye-soul, I like emotion to lead songs, where music is almost secondary," he says. "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison, that's simply timeless. They influence me; As a composer and interpreter, I want to connect as they did. And when your audience feels that they can relate, then you have something much more special than a show or a sale. You have a fan. "When it comes to Brett Young, it's not that far from a pitcher's mound on a main stage, and it does not really matter what kind of Big Show you're talking about, because in the end, when you have that thing called heart, You can see it in his eyes, but he will hear it in his voice.
Since then, Brett has played on stages ranging from House of Blues to Troubadour, and shared stages with artists such as Mandy Moore, Tyrone Wells, Jason Reeves, Gavin Degraw, Tyler Hilton, Katy Perry, Hoku and many more. Brett recently released his second album, Make Believe and is currently in the studio finishing his last album.
Breathe Again
Brett Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I never hear "I love you" now and then,
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
Then I promise you, I promise you that,
That I shall never breathe again.
Breathe again, breathe again,
And I can't stop thinking about,
About the way things used to be,
And I can't stop thinking about,
About the love that you made to me.
And I can't get you out of my head;
How in the world will I begin
To let you walk right out of my life
And throw my heart away?
And I can't stop caring about,
About the apple of my eye,
And I can't stop doing without,
Without the center of my life.
And I can't get you out of my head,
And I know I can't pretend
That I won't die if you decide
You won't see me again.
If I never feel you in my arms again,
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I never hear "I love you" now and then,
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
Then I promise you, I promise you that,
That I shall never breathe again.
Breathe again, breathe again,
That I shall never breathe again.
And I can't stop thinking about,
About the way my life would be.
No, I can't stop thinking about,
How could you love me then leave?
And I can't get you out of my mind,
God knows how hard I've tried,
And if you walk right out my life,
God knows I'm sure to die.
And I can't stop doing without,
Without the rhythm of my heart.
No, I can't stop doing without,
For I will surely fall apart.
And I can't get you out of my mind,
And I know I can't deny,
And I would die if you decide
You won't see me again.
If I never feel you in my arms again,
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I never hear "I love you" now and then,
Will I never make love to you once again?
Please understand, if love ends,
Then I promise you, I promise you that,
That I shall never breathe again.
Breathe again, breathe again,
That I shall never breathe again.

Please understand, if love ends,
If our love comes to an end, please try to understand
Then I promise you, I promise you that,
But I want to make an assurance to you
That I shall never breathe again.
I swear I won't be able to function, to continue living without you
And I can't stop thinking about,
I can't help but think about
About the way things used to be,
Our relationship and the beauty of how it was before
And I can't stop thinking about,
I am constantly thinking about
About the love that you made to me.
Our physical and emotional bond that we shared was something I think of every day and night
And I can't get you out of my head;
Memories of you are replaying in my mind, they won't stop coming back
How in the world will I begin
I don't know how to start living without you
To let you walk right out of my life
To allow you to go out of my life so easily
And throw my heart away?
And abandon my heart which was solely yours
And I can't stop caring about,
I can't help but care for you
About the apple of my eye,
My love, and everything I hold dear
And I can't stop doing without,
Living my life without you, something I can't stop doing
Without the center of my life.
Because without you, I am nothing
And I can't get you out of my head,
I have been unable to erase the memories of you from my head
And I know I can't pretend
I am aware of the fact that I can't put up a facade and pretend to be fine
That I won't die if you decide
Without you in my life, it will be like breathing my last
You won't see me again.
Thus, if you decide to leave me forever, I'll be unable to live without you
And I can't stop thinking about,
My thoughts keep rushing back to
About the way my life would be.
How my life would be if you went away for good
No, I can't stop thinking about,
I am unable to stop thinking about
How could you love me then leave?
How could you love me so incredibly in the past, and then suddenly leave?
And I can't get you out of my mind,
You have been a constant thought in my head
God knows how hard I've tried,
I have tried to forget you but nothing seems to work
And if you walk right out my life,
If you exit from my life,
God knows I'm sure to die.
I am certain that I will not survive your departure
And I can't stop doing without,
I can't help but continue living without you
Without the rhythm of my heart.
My heart used to beat along with yours, but now there is no more rhythm in my heart
For I will surely fall apart.
My life will begin to fall apart without you by my side
And I can't get you out of my mind,
Your thoughts constantly linger in my mind
And I know I can't deny,
I understand that I won't be able to forget you
And I would die if you decide
If you decide to leave me, then my life would be over
You won't see me again.
And I would cease to exist after you leave me
If I never feel you in my arms again,
If I'm never able to hold you again
If I never feel your tender kiss again,
If I'm never able to feel your tender kiss again
If I never hear "I love you" now and then,
If I'm never able to hear you say "I love you" from time to time
Will I never make love to you once again?
Will I ever be able to make love to you ever again?
Please understand, if love ends,
If our love concludes, please understand
Then I promise you, I promise you that,
I promise you
That I shall never breathe again.
I will never be able to continue living without you
Breathe again, breathe again,
Feel alive, live again, forget the past and start anew
That I shall never breathe again.
That I won't be able to breathe again, without you
