The Japanese House - Sad to Breathe (Official Live Video) 

Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. Or they are alone, they miss someone, they are depressed, hurt, marked by the past, they have people that nobody knows, they have secrets that you would not believe. They want, they dream and they hope. And now, you're sitting here reading these words, and I'm writing this for you so you won't feel alone anymore. Always remember, don't be depressed by the past, don't worry about the future and focus on today. If today is not so good, don't worry! Tomorrow is another opportunity. If you're reading this, please share it to share and make others feel better. Have a nice day!

The lyrics destroyed me, the guitar and violin picked me up and carried me like a baby. I can't wait for the album

[Verse 1] If you're going away Why'd you say something that made me believe That you just might stay? [Chorus] 'Cause you're right and I'm tryin' To change myself, but it's tirin' And I go to bed and I'm cryin' 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there 'Cause you're right and I'm tryin' To change myself, but it's tirin' And I go to bed and I'm cryin' 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there [Verse 2] I forget I can't tell if the things I have, I just don't want All the things I want, I just don't get [Chorus] 'Cause you're right and I'm tryin' To change myself, but it's tirin' And I go to bed and I'm cryin' 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there [Post-Chorus] (It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there) (When you're not there, when you're not there) [Bridge] A love that didn't last Do I chase the train you're ridin' on Or sit back and wait as it goes past? [Chorus] 'Cause you're right and I'm tryin' To change myself, but it's tirin' And I go to bed and I'm cryin' 'Cause it's sad to breathe the air when you're not there [Outro] (It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there) (Sad to breathe the air when you're not there) (When you're not there, when you're not there) (It's sad to breathe the air when you're not there) (Sad to breathe the air when you're not there) (Sad when you're not there, when you're not there)

At a time of overproduced music devoid of song craft, this is so refreshing to hear. Just good, organic, acoustic music by people who truly know and love what they’re doing. First time hearing about you, and it definitely won’t be the last.

So blessed we get two versions ❤️ SO excited for the album

absolutely stunning voice and harmony among everyone

Just make sure you’re always there for the sad ones!!!

The Japanese house and Phoebe would make a phenomenal duet

Classic can be created even in 2023. ❤

Gorgeous. Clicked on this as a random recommendation while I was driving and nearly had to pull over from the tears in my eyes. I will be showing this to everybody.

THIS is why TJH have been my favourite band for years. This new album is already blowing my mind 😢😢❤

the vocals are so beautiful oh my god

Aww what a beautiful vocal arrangement! And you are all singing so sympathetically and perfectly. Love the round as the song is closing. That’s a goosebumper ❤

I love this song sooooo much!!! あまりにも良すぎる！ from Japan❤

this song couldn't have been more perfect. thank you amber, for making a song to help me through the pain. someone special to me is leaving the city and this masterpiece explains everything i am feeling.

They capture something in their music that I can never explain with words

As such a lover of this track to get given a live version is such a wonderful gift ❤

PROOF that there IS a place in the world for real music played by real musicians live. Thank you!

Good Lord that was absolutely flawless. Just wow. Psyched for new album

I was already sold when the vocal harmony began at the end of the song. Then I was blown away. :)

Wow xx the harmonies, melody, tonality and calmness amidst the confusion and heavy tiredness as you try so hard to change... we can just feel it all! Wonderful song, thank you for sharing it with us xx ❤

This version suits the lyric better imo. Looking forward to the album.

The lyrics is sad. It hits me. But the melody keeps me hopeful for a better tomorrow ✨ Thank you so much for this music 💖 Kisses from Brasil 🇧🇷 ❤

I absolutely love both versions of this song. So incredibly stoked for the album!

she is so goooood!! can't wait to see her tuesday here in denver with a date i met on hinge, as our first date! she hadn't heard of her so i showed her a few solid songs and she is excited! here we go guys! wish me luck!!!

Listening to this band 24/7, while missing my favourite person and suffering from existential crisis, cognitive dissonance and nihilism as a loner at this stage of life. Feeling lost and apathetic.

WE NEED A PLAYLIST ON LISTENING PLATFORMS OF THEIR STUFF LIVE

A beautiful vocal arrangement sang perfectly ❤❤❤❤

One of the most beautiful songs you've written!

So overjoyed at the new album so far. I'm recovering from surgery, and it has made all the difference.

Wonder why they went insane with the percussion on the album version, this feels so much more true to the lyrics imo.

Wow babe! About time! I had even forgotten your about upside-down guitar technique. Let me tell you. Your "Sad to breathe" song (both versions) is a breath of fresh air. I was missing you immensely! Next album (please, please, please?)

Music without words is medicine. Music with words is medicine. Emotion to music or music to emotion is so great of a difference at times that no sound or lack of one can formulate a proper response within. Namely, balancing the ratio of whether music, words, and/or silence can evoke correct propensities at all is science. On that note, it's not subjective that Music can be time itself. Dancing is an immediate stream without refusing any inclination to form symmetry to what already exists. Sometimes I find that it's nice to be melancholy and to appreciate what music like this offers so peacefully. It's caring and full.

i missed your music! love this so much

So beautiful ❤️

Stunning live, beautiful vocals and acoustics.
