Still Breathing

This 2016 tune by the alt-rock band VERIDIA has a haunting sound and evocative lyrics. A perfect change-of-pace number, it shares the important message of learning how to deal with fear--we're all human, we all struggle, and even though we have to endure some things on our own, we don't have to process them alone. It features a low alto soloist for the first verse and chorus.

Instrumentation: Piano/2 Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Trumpets/1 Trombone/Alto, Tenor Sax

I don’t wanna hear that
Everything is okay 
Cause it's not alright
I need a little time to find 
Some peace of heart
Some peace of mind 
All I know is we don’t always get a 
Happy ending 
It’s not about where we are right now 
But where we’re going

I’m still breathing
Blood is burning in my veins
I wanna feel the pain
You’re still healing
Every moment, every day
Is a gift you gave
And I can’t believe I’m still breathing

I know that the sorrow
Will come back tomorrow
But I'm ready
Gonna be grateful
For everything that made me
Who I am today
Cause I know when it comes, when it goes
It'll make me stronger
When the good times come
It'll all be that much better

Turn the light off
Let the monsters come
I'm not gonna be afraid
Cause I know that I'm not alone
I've got giants on my side
Turn the light off
Let the monsters come
I'm not gonna be afraid
Cause I know that I'm not alone
I've got giants on my side

I’m still breathing
Blood is burning in my veins
I wanna feel the pain
You’re still healing
Every moment, every day
Is a gift you gave
And I can’t believe I’m still breathing
