Phish - Billy Breathes

[fiofunk]

this song makes me love deeply and reflect

[clint115]

This will always be my favorite Phish song and arguably the best guitar solo ever. Breathe on Billy!!!

[SonicGardenPlaysDead]

This song is a reflection on all of our lives....Believe it!....

This was the first "new" Phish album I bought way back in '96. Of course, I was in my dorm room, tokin' a doob for probably only the 10th time. Those were the days. This song has one of the most sincere and serious feels of any Phish song to me. Trey's solo pretty much makes me weep every time. This was truly Phish's heyday, and probably the best album produced. Not necessarily my favorite album though. Junta and Rift definitely have this one beat.

Set this album cover next to the cover for King Crimson's "In the Court of the Crimson King". The Crimson King is terrified of Billy.

[sk8er4ever0101]

Best note in the history of guitar solos @4:48-4:49

[fwbjohn]

Melt to this song for years.

[QuickPYT]

I usually never buy cd's anymore but last week i was with my buddy and we walked into an old record store. as i browsed the countless cd's "Billy Speaks" fell onto the floor. I picked it up and looked at it. Im very glad that i got my money's worth. This is going to be my first of many Phish records

[kattdizzle]

the best sad ballot phish does has an amazing climax ooooooooooooh

[WeveGotItSimple]

the pure 

[monacommish33]

This song always gives me chills. The layering of the vocals in the chorus is beautiful beyond words. (If you've never listened w/ quality, noise cancelling ear phones do it now:)

[Froebs]

This song rocks

[ballisticchops]

Phish can be quite hard to accept by ears ruined by years of pummeling by commercial music. I've only heard these people gush about this song. Perfect ballad by the perfect band.

[salvin1792]

How can this song make me happy and sad all at once? Just Beautiful.

[ehendin]

I remember covering this live on acoustic with a bass player buddy of mine, or at least try to... The solo at the end is just gorgeous, going through all those key changes. My fave albums are probably Rift, Picture of Nectar, A Live One and Billy Breathes.

[tittomnstr13]

all of their songs are good well most, really depends on your mood and what your feeling like listening to, all of their work is enjoyable one time or another even if it takes a long time to ease in to your head they'll get stuck one time or another.

thank you phish for everything.

[freakshowv]

Softly sing sweet songs 

[xgennixlovex]

I love this song. It's the best. It's so peaceful.

[jtthermal23]

This is the best Phish album no doubt. I'm glad there back

[Monty1994]

@jtthermal23

It's tough to pick one. I love Picture of Nectar.

It's easy to pick the worst, at least in my mind, The Story of the Ghost.

[phish86c]

@Monty1994 uh uh, im not being a jerk, just good conversation. but story of a ghost is kinda up there with the best

[phish86c]

that being said,sometimes it just depends on the mood of the night

[DeathToNewbie]

@sasquatch357 Yea man, I understand what you mean.

[benslooking4junk]

I love how they try to tackle singing " in the round" so imaginative , yet so damn corny, in that Phish good way!

[JoeGeetar]

Amazing Song and one of my favorite guitar solo's of all time.

[weenrocker]

This song makes me want to work on a farm driving a tractor with a hat.

[Anathemael]

@weenrocker I enjoy stacking wood in the tundra.

[beatzen64]

@weenrocker what a gay comment

[MYParadigmFYI]

@weenrocker

Great comment. Nothing like it ! If your ever in Illinois come on out!

[Thmphromthebottom39]

This is the song that basically got me "hooked" on Phish. haha true story though this has gotta be one of, if not my absolute favorites by them, no doubt.

[nauticaldisaster1979]

@Thmphromthebottom39 This is the first Phish song I heard. Still my favorite! :)

[turboser9384]

one of the best songs on the album i think!!!!!!!!!!!

[radishrose]

the coda sounds like a use your illusion outtake at the beginning...then it's like somebody scat singing over a power ballad....trey could have done much better (negative posters - this was near the end of my touring days..and yours?)

[imperialpod]

I'm from the UK and knew then through buying an Apple imac.

Its one of the best codas in rock and up there with the best of them.

Text book hippy AOR.

[sterlingsir]

Superb. Amazing the Uk knows little about them. Or is it..

[charliecrizzle]

easily one of my favorite songs
