Sia - Breathe Me (Live at KCRW 2007) 

A lot of people don't know that this song was written on a night she tried to commit suicide using valium and vodka. She was saved by a phone call from an old friend who convinced her to get sober. The soul must feel before it can create this sort of masterpiece.

Sia's voice is absolutely hauntingly beautiful. It touches the soul! What an amazing gift she has and how fortunate we are that it is shared with the world.

The braveness to show yourself as this vulnerable. Love to all who can do this

Also hats off to the incredible cello player.

My depression got depressed by this song. So I felt a bit better.

2023 and it's still a masterpiece

I don't think she really understands how much everyone adores her. She's a beautiful human inside and out.

The real Sia. Thanks for sharing your incredible talent.

Her control. The depth of emotion. Just all the feels possible when her voice is heard. She is just so incredible.

What the fck am I doing with my life in 2007 that I never heared of such wonderful song during those years. Poor me.

Sia is a woman with depth. She rocks.

4:40 a heartbreaking “primal scream”. Brings out emotions I didn’t know I had. Absolutely mesmerizing.

Can’t believe that I just discovered this stunningly gorgeous song! I’m 71 and totally amazed by this performance!

Unbelievable voice control...

This has to be her best performance of this song by far

The greatest vocalists are those who surrender and become a vessel for the spirit and the message moving through them into our souls. Sia is a singular genius.

„Don’t be sad“ then she just goes ahead and rips everybodys heart out with her beautiful Song

Six feet under The song killed when I first heard it in the finale...the only song that made me cry. amazing

Sia's live performances blow me away. They rival the studio versions. An amazing talent and beautiful.

This is a hauntingly beautiful song. Her vocal performance along with the instrumentals flow through me

............................... lost my mom and dad... my sister..... most friends.... life is still so beautiful tho. Sobbing on my laptop listening to this beautiful song. This song has pulled me through so much...... thank you Sia.

Best female vocalist in the world. Period. You can feel the pain in her singing.

Cello foward in this performance makes this the best version IMO. For some reason as well, I feel like she really felt this particular session as if it was the anniversary. Easily one of the most beautiful and heart felt compositions to date.

There's something hauntingly mystical that a cello evokes, to be able to match it vocally is next level. Master piece.

most important female artist of our generation

Man the emotions she puts out is so crazy. I applaud her for showing us her vulnerability, it seems like such a hard thing to do

Overwhelmed with emotions when i listen to this amazing song. I for sure can say iv been there a few times. Thank you Sia for sharing your emotions. Stay strong we need you.

Lyrics: Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame [Chorus] Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me [Verse 2] Ouch, I have lost myself Again Lost myself, and I Am nowhere to be found Yeah, I think that I Might break Lost myself again And I feel unsafe Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me Be my friend Hold me Wrap me up Unfold me I am small And needy Warm me up And breathe me

Many people don’t know the brilliance that is pre pop Sia. I guess you could say I’m a pop fan but her earlier music is something special. Got me through a lot of really, really tough times. Love this Sia but I’m also happy for her healing 💕

Straight up masterpiece. This gives me chills. Haunting.

This performance is by far my favourite of this song. I always get goosebumps when I listen to it. She is absolutely incredible.

I was locked in an abusive marriage for 16 years and have never read or heard anything that could describe the incredible pain that comes from trying to climb out of the dark. To feel someone out there understands that depth of feeling and put it to music & words is everything. Thank you, Sia

It's astonishing how she manages to sound even better live. Got the chills from this one.

This song makes me cry anyway but this version HOLY SHIIII

I saw her live twice before she hit it big. She is very real. A genuine person with a huge personality and adorably quirky. Her voice live is true and exactly as you hope it will be.

This performance is my favorite version of Breathe Me. So much soul and emotion. It hits me like an arrow to the heart. I love her so much! ❤

I just watched this again for the first time in years and cried the entire time. My soul feels this too deeply

“Don’t be sad.” I don’t know how many times I’ve come back to this song. She’s so expressive. I love the drop “ouch”. It seems to me she’s unaware of how amazing she is. Sia has the ability to draw the listener in to her web of lyrical mastery and leave us wanting more.

Wow, the way she modulates her voice on this track and just 'owns' the whole experience.... along with the guys playing, this is pretty special x

Goddess

Her finest song

Her voice is the most beautiful instrument I’ve ever heard.

No wonder this woman is famous, her vocals and passion for the lyrics is just on a whole other level. She IS the music when she's performing.

This literally gives me chills. Sia is so insanely talented. We are not worthy ❤️🙏

Her passion, her pain, incredible vocals!

This live version is way better than the studio version .. That's amazing.

The wounded healers make the best artists. Those who have gone through the dark night of the soul and ultimately chose life. Thank you Sia.⚘

This song was played in the finale of HBO's Six Feet Under. I've always thought Sia was an exceptionally great singer and she continues to amaze. Still love this song after all these years.

Still the best live version of this song!!

Don't worry buddy, you are not the only one listening to this masterpiece.

I cry every time I hear this. It forces me to recall where I first heard It - Six Feet Under - HBO'S Great series 2001-2005!

Seeing Sia singing her song in such an authentic way, without any add-on, without hiding her face gives so much more emotion to me! Amazing video. Really amazing ❤❤❤🙏

7 years clean 11/15, this is the perfect soundtrack for my breaking point. Learning that I need others to help me. If you are struggling keep reaching out. It saved my life.

Whenever I’m feeling like quitting life and sad I come here. This song makes me cry like a baby. It makes me feel better and know I am not the only sad person out there. This song holds me and wraps me up when I feel small and worthless. It’s ok to be sad, it’s ok to feel down and out. We all are human. I hope you feel better too and know that you don’t have to give up. I love you and want you to love yourself. You’re never alone. Life may take you in places you don’t love, but eventually you’ll find yourself and love where you are.

"dont be sad" ❤

I don't know how many times I've listened to this over the past number of years, but every time my heart flutters faster or it brings me close to tears. It's one of those songs that seems to get me and I it. Such a powerful song, I'm glad I found it.

Holy crap, can you imagine what it was like to be watching this happen through that studio window?

Tears. If you ever felt the pain that's in this song you know what I'm talking about

I hope she knows how loved she is.

Here in 2024 for Sia's best performance

Wow, she doesn’t even look like she’s trying but she’s killing it! Such a beautiful voice ❤️

Beautiful song! The girl playing the string bass is awesome!

Those screams at the end of the song man 😭 I’ve cried to this song for years

She is special, sings from the heart to the soul. Few can do that 😊

SIA is a force of nature!! Amazing vocals and writing !!!

“Don’t be sad” and then Sia delivers the most spectacular version of the saddest song ever written….

So damn talented. You can feel her pain in this song...I hope she is in a much better place now. Her music touches millions and Unstoppable is an anthem that lifts so many to face life's challenges

This version is truly beautiful... I have no other words... This song always touched me deep but this version is something else

I still can't hear this song without breaking into tears. It hits me so hard. It's like rewatching the low points of my life and knowing how lucky I am to have come so far.

Wow, she blows me away! She sings from her soul... such passion! Really enjoyed the cello too!

Funny how I hold my breath while I'm listening to this......anyone else?

One of my tope 3 favorite lives/songs. So incredible.

2:24 “Be my friend”. That part... nice!! And everything else.

Beautiful song! Lyrics: Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found Yeah I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me

What a dark yet hopeful and inspiring way she has of expressing an exposing herself at such a hopeless moment in her life. Why do the most amazing people think that they are unimportant at times… Sia you are simply a ball of glorious light!

"Dont be sad".... Saddest song ever, omg, this song is deadly deep on the darkest side of the human soul....Greatest artist who put us there, showing everything.....Oh Sia, thank you!

It’s now 2020, and this song isn’t just just the finale of 6 feet, which was a masterpiece, this song is the triumph of Sia just being Sia. It’s absolutely gut wrenching, and beautiful at the same time. The song, and it’s artist, is once in a lifetime. Brings me to tears every single time I hear it. Utter perfection.

How could any human being not be sad hearing SiA's pain. God bless SiA 🙏❤

Every time i hear this song i get a lump in my throat and cant stop the tears. So much emotion and heart pouring into this song. Sia is amazing. Listen to the rest of her music. Each song is beautiful with meaning. If you are or ever were a addict her lyrics will resonate with you. Amazing ... By far my favorite artist❤

Back after 10 years when I first heard this and I still love her so much

2022 heard it for the first time. Brings me to tears. So beautifully done.

This song is so important to me. It’s screams what I’ve needed my whole life and still looking for.

It's so authentic it's amazing that she can express it intentionally.

One of the many songs that saved my life. I can’t believe I’m still here and I’m so grateful. Sing from your Heart 💜

I have this song name tattooed on my wrist. To me it means- its okay to be vulnerable. Its okay that sometimes we wont feel loved by the world. What we need more than anything is to accept ourselves entirely, flaws and all. Like the air that sustains life on earth, we all need to breathe self-love into our souls.

It is so awesome to watch her just sit there and sing. It brings out such a unique beauty that one rarely sees in performers. So often so much makeup and costumes but here it is just her in her natural physical beauty and her gift from God voice.

God….this is one big wave of emotions. Perfect!

Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found Yeah I think that I might break Lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me Be my friend, hold me Wrap me up, enfold me I am small and needy Warm me up and breathe me

I was on the bus with these guys for 6 weeks. Every night blew me away. Very special.

Sia seems to bring out the tears of my life and bring me to a level of strength that I need in my life to able live a life of happiness that I enjoy. I haven't been able to express the thoughts I have that Sia has in my daily life, thanks for the beautiful life-giving song you have giving us.

I just realized that this is the singer that always has most of her face covered up. She’s beautiful, and her voice is incredibly beautiful.

you know how technically difficult it is to be able to vocally match instrumentals flawlessly the way she did starting at 4:11?… can’t really think of a more talented vocalist than her, period. the control she exhibits over her voice is unparalleled.

Her voice is so powerful. I usually go to this song when i feel weak and like I'm nothing. It's so relateable to me. It's like I'm living the reality of this song. Even if I'm not very strong right now i just hope that the people who may feel similar to me stays strong.

Not just an amazing singer but an amazing song writer damn I love sia ❤️

OMG this version of Breathe Me is amazing. She is the greatest voice of our time.

I cannot believe I have not heard this unplugged version. It is now my favorite of all unplugged anything by anyone… thank you Sia.

Wooowww the whole vibrato thing she does with her voice is sooo good, so much vocal control!!! And it’s so emotional and real!!!

OMG,...This is my first time seeing the REAL SIA,...no imitations,...wigs,... or puppets,... just HER beautiful SELF,... HER extraordinary gift,...HER voice,... HER passion,... HER pain-stricken angelic heart and soul bear an array of extremely raw, real, and deeply rooted painful emotions! HER ability to dig deep within HERSELF,.... into the deepest darkest depths of HER heart and soul is outstanding enough,...but to be able to gather those emotions and then translate them and share them ever so transparently and effortlessly with the world is second to none! What an incredible performance! Thank you SIA for bearing and sharing YOUR extremely rare awe-inspiring talent with me and the rest of the world! YOU have a rare gift,...by doing what YOU do,... YOU shine,... as a true star does,... spreading hope and strength far and wide,...healing the hearts and souls of many lives around the world! All YOU need to do is simply be YOU! We are ever so grateful to have finally seen YOU just as YOU are! We hope to see more of YOU SIA! We love YOU! ❤🎵❤ru-vid.comgaming/emoji/7ff574f2/emoji_u1f3b6.png

Rare genius. She is so beautiful. She is a goddess. You feel the essence , the universe when she breathes music.

Sia is sadly unknown by many people of her song writing skills. Her Ballads are beautiful! Sad but also uplifting and hopeful and positive. She has written so many songs and I look forward to all her new songs in the future! Sia please keep that rawness that a lot of musicians tend to lose over time!
