about

In contrast with the preceding singles from ‘Kaboom!’, ‘Breathe’ is positively upbeat. Its lyrics contain a sense of soothing, calming relief after the heartbreak and emotional upheaval elsewhere on the EP, and its sounds and rhythms are nothing short of ascendant and rapturous. It is a hopeful song about rekindling the fires of romance.

The inspiration for the sense of optimism came from a walk that Jay took in an abandoned park in Astoria, Queens. “I was walking through the long, uncut grass during the COVID lockdown,” he remembers. “The climatic break and instrumental section that follows it in 'Breathe' were meant to capture that euphoric feeling of two people getting back together.”

‘Breathe’ provides a transcendent conclusion to ‘Kaboom!’, the debut Jay Wires EP. Two years in the making, the EP contains 4 songs freighted with intense emotion and epic electronic arrangements. These songs are an expression of what Jay calls “electro-pop therapy” and were inspired by a painful break-up during the isolation and loneliness of COVID lockdown.

-Mat Smith of Further.

lyrics

Sometimes two souls
Once intertwined
Will unwind
And drift apart
Two lucky stars misaligned

The universe is cruel
The universe is kind

Breathe in
Breathe out
Free the spirit and the mind
Let go of fears and doubts
And step into the light

Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the energy tonight
Trust the magic in the sky
Let it warm you deep inside

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Sometimes two souls
Once intertwined
Will unwind
And drift apart
Two lucky stars misaligned

The universe is cruel
The universe is kind

Breathe in
Breathe out
Free the spirit and the mind
Let go of fears and doubts
And step into the light

Breathe in
Breathe out
Feel the energy tonight
Trust the magic in the sky
Let it warm you deep inside

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite

Find them
Touch them
Hold them
Wrap around them
Lift them high
Gaze into their eyes
And let your two hearts reunite
