Melissa Etheridge - Breathe

[TheLadyofdays]

Love everything about this Lady ,, she's GREAT !!!!! <3 love her Voice

[MerchantofTarshish]

I like heartland rock

[snowkid919]

And boohoo I'm an old football player and I'm so sad cause I can't play anymore. -__- Really? This song deserves a more serious video with someone with ACTUAL problems.

[snowkid919]

Greenwheel's version is better.

[emeraldthane]

@snowkid919 So weird that I went to school with Ryan. He was a really sweet person.

[tickedoffnow]

I love this song XD

[erem456]

I love this song hands down beautiful

[thedeeliciousplum]

This raises a zillion goosebumps!!! Thanks for sharing this.

[captaincharisma69]

I can't believe this version is bigger then the original. Greenwheel's version is so much better.

[hrm573]

Holy shit that's my high school!!! Didn't know this existed til a few minutes ago!!!! Reppin' Jeff City, MO. Too bad its Melissa Etheridge lol

[MrN0way]

@hrm573 too bad its cleveland high in L.A. check the wiki

[redmus1959]

Wonderful song and touching tribute to Coach Adkins. I feel a bit sad if that was really him sitting in the chair. Has to be tough to be a coach that long and not coaching anymore. I understand why Joe Pa keeps at it.

[redace669]

@redmus1959 yes that is really coat pete, i played for him in the 80s and still see him at all the football games.

[MetalAnimeSword]

Going to be singing this for an open mic at my LGBT center and WOW I am so nervous!!!

[nottychickz65]

Greenwheel sing it better.

[OneRenegadeOfFunk]

@nottychickz65 Agreed. Ryan's vocals are so powerful, and there's more emotion behind his delivery. Sounds spot on live, too.

[athen8989]

This is my hearts soundtrack

[legoluva13]

i remember watching this music video in my old house on mtv in the morning before school, its crazy to think that its been 8 years....i never understood what this song was about, but now that i look back, it has such a great meaning

[MerchantofTarshish]

Is this song for real?

[athen8989]

I was just listening to The Indigo Girls when I remembered her and saw her in a link on the side rock on...

[19desto]

@athen8989 me too, and i agree rock on :-)

[stefis72]

i love love this song its in my mind and i hear it all the time,everywhere !!

[SamanthaCammisuli]

ahhhhhh that fuckin voice <3 unreal 

[Cutsnakee]

just heard this song on the end off against hte wall first eppisode and WOW you go girl this is f'n awsome!

[Anlimema]

HeLLo EvEryONE My name is Angie Medina and Im 17 years old Im in a small town, but I have big dreams I play guitar and flute My dream is to be a singer I sing from the heart and stay true I know alot of people hate when artists like me make comments like this But I am different I promise that... if u give me a chance i'll show u And I would like that my dream can come true with the help of you guys So please stop by my channel and check out my cover Please help me get my dream Thank you so much

[mcriv44]

my boys greenwheel wrote it!!!!

[mcriv44]

greenwheel does it the best

[JymBrittain]

Melissa Etheridge friggin brings it!

[jamilinn1]

I have loved her voice for almost 25 years, she is awsome!

[hippocampus23]

@jamilinn1 She's been singing for that long!? Why didn't anyone tell me!?

[Newscat46]

That was filmed at Adkins stadium, Jefferson City, MO. Jefferson City High School.

I should know because-that's my high school and Coach Adkins has been a family friend for over 45 years.

[subaudible9]

Sorry to say to all who thought it all was shot in MO, but the scenes of Melissa were filmed at Verity Field on the Cleveland High School campus in Reseda, CA. You can clearly see the scoreboard when she is playing around the goal posts at 3:04.

[dragoncrest101]

just heard this again on against the wall

[bbtrixie]

Home is a feeling I buried in you......

[xOutkastsx]

get to see her in concert t the oc fair next fridayy!!(:

[s1monz]

She did a good job, but it doesn't deserve more views than the original.

[RNBATES1]

@s1monz,,, of course it does,,after to listening to Greenwheel,,with the guitars all out of tune and no life to the song at all,,strictly amateur at best,,but the fact its their song,,,kudos for that

[melissaetheridge1988]

@s1monz Oh yes it does!

[andibaby98]

I does only hurt when i breathe

[MsDimplessss96]

This Video was shot at Jefferson City high school HOME OF THE JAYS!! WOO HOOO I went there when Pete was still coaching. JC WAS AWESOME!!! We kicked butt in EVERYTHING even band competitions. FANTASTIC COMMUNITY SUPPORT OF THE KIDS!

[SuperPsychgirl]

I think it's ironic that this video has 3 times more views than the original Greenwheel's video

[04142011]

Malena,

I miss you so much. It only hurts on days that end in Y.

[prettykiray]

i love this song live..she sung at lucky..melissa rocks

[tucumanian7]

This song reminds me my friend....u're a fighter angel...don't never give up, I know u can do it!!

[stbojan]

awesome song!

[tsiokosd]

nice version... just love the original

[gbkw83]

Thanks for doing a video at JCHS and Pete Adkins! I went to this school and graduated from there in 2001. I will always be Jaybird. Thanks Melissa! Great song! Brings back memories.

[rampage2019]

I went to this High school and Pete Atkins was an amazing coach

[inlovewithoscar]

god she is sooo hot with that guitar, she knows how to work it !!! haha !!

[halleck3]

Greenwheel's version is pretty great, though I do dig Melissa's voice.

[19ender58]

Malcolm Springer and Andy Dwiggins wrote this song for your information...!

[debby6688]

Awesome song.... listened to it many times during my divorce. Majorly sucky video though.

[MoJBlove]

I forgot that the stadium used to look like that. I'm too used to the astro-turf and the larger track. Marching band has done that to me. Luckily, this was filmed before I started high school at Jefferson City. This is a great song! Go Jays!!

[Northernrebel666]

I love this song but the video is crap.

[beanersrule9]

haha this was filmed at my school, but great song

[ThePosti]

i love her ,realy.shes great.

[cryptkeeperfun1988]

Greenwheel version sucks! I love Melissa! She deserved the Grammy for which she was nominated for this!

[mrbluto3]

My favorite Melissa E song

[Jo5646]

Her own lyrics are also so powerful youtube.com/watch?v=SUGOgAhCR4­Q

[astockdall]

this song, helped me get through a really dark depression. it descriped my life perfectly..i use to sit and listen to it for hours on end. and it ultimately helped me recover

[odessyrcr589]

@astockdall me too. =).  music is healing

[Amazing1000ful]

Two songs she never put on any album

watch?v=nyjHzaQE28w

watch?v=sLbvEggSl8k&feature=re­lated

Good Enough and

They Dont Know Me

[oopsihitsyou]

this song is a legend

[photogirlie]

I love this song - I wonder though, if she's ok with Shania Twain using "It only hurts when I'm breathing..." since this.

[s1monz]

@photogirlie She didn't write it, Greenwheel did, so it ought to be none of her concern.

[rhiannon1020]

Freaking love this song

[zigertube]

The first time I heard this song was the day I had to have my dog put down. "It only hurts when I breathe" very accurately described my day.

[dolphindi]

I'm a resp. therapist and use this song as ringtone. Also have it on the CD. Just love the song

[mrskymassey96]

THATS MY SCHOOL!!!!!

[KILDAREGIRL]

this is my first time to hear her... what a voice,, fab.....

[philsjeff]

@KILDAREGIRL

Meilissa is a force! Welcome to the club.. She has so many great songs..

[KILDAREGIRL]

@philsjeff I have bought some of her CD's now , she is a force your so right.

[janjan380]

this a great day I fell this video go Melissa

[janjan380]

cool

[a7xlovers15]

hate that stupid ass school though.

[a7xlovers15]

thats my school!

thats tight. lol.

[DinoHF79]

"It only hurts when I breathe!"

[loverboy720]

FYI greenday originaly wrote this song and sang it, they have a vid her on youtube go check it out Greenwheel - Breathe

[gravelandgrain100]

I went to school up the road on Hwy 54. Still got my sting.=)

One thing about us from the Midwest, we may take different paths-we ALWAYS remember where we came from.

[execdyke91]

@gravelandgrain100 YES!!! Midwest love!

[cooljay895]

so he is the guy they named the stadium after hmm never knew

[websaint]

I prefered the original Greenwheel version released in 2002 same record label /watch?v=5ZRmBPXVUl8&feature=a­v2e

[funmacsta]

@websaint I never heard of Greenwheel lol, a lot of famous artists have lyricists to write their song, and they have songwriters. Celine Dion doesn't write all of her songs and so on.

[SpeakTruer]

It fits the loss of her father so well. I think He was her rock. He drove her to gigs before she was even old enough to drive herself.

SpeakTruer

[jensenacklesfan100]

Awesome Song

[aebugsbunny]

i want to be just like u one day i love ur music

[2bizzarefriends6]

my friend jessica sang this for our school talent show and she was amazing. it was breathtaking almost as good as Melissa

[Alethia1588]

LOVE THIS SONG!!

[fitchk]

What an AMAZING video!!!!!!!!!!! It's the first time I've seen this version and gives me a new perspective on the song....it reminds me of my father who was an amazing and succcessful fb coach in WI.

[beaverbunch]

love this.

[lindaed20]

I know how you feel im missing home also and that is kansas im only moving farther away now my gma is buried there and i hate being away and not going to see her

[bob8mike]

i just love this song. one of my favs all time.

[mydogsparks]

Well Done M

[2006KANISHKJAISWAL]

greenwheel rocks

this 1`s good too

[TheGamerLand]

I've been listening to this at least once a day. A whole different take on it, than shown in the video. I'm missing my husband, who is in Iraq.

[loveroozz]

my dad loves youre music! (me too ;) )

[KLASandSAS]

u look so pretty in this video .... like always!! love u Missy!!

[SuperPsychgirl]

I like the original Greenwheel's version, but this is nice too

[CoffeeKing777]

I REALLY don't like the video, I think that someone in a hospital would be more to the song. But, you know :P- When you don't make the song I guess it doesn't really matter what you think.

[sandrapick32]

This song was the song I played over and over when my mom passed away. Home is a feeling I buried in you!

[PopCulture20]

@sandrapick32 I'm sorry to hear about your mom and I hope this song is getting you the inner peace that you need

[sandrapick32]

@PopCulture20 Thank you it did give me some...........my mom will always be with me. Many of Melissa's songs have helped me through amazingly hard times in my life(silentlegacy...for another)!...she is such an amazing artist and I wish her the best.

[Gotti2069]

She has a way with describing pain; "it only hurts when I breathe." We've all been there. She is pure genius at times and I love to listen to her when past demons haunt me. The bad memories don't hurt as bad.

[billynmd1071]

Wow this Song just became very fitting to my situration with this guy I like, yes I am gay, any ways I fuck up by not trusting in him...thank god for songs like these that can help ease the pain

[NinjaTortugaSS]

try playin this song and the original (from Greenwheel) at the same.....pretty funny :P

[elenawatson70]

Awesome Song!!!! Love it!!!

[yess010]

I just love this song

[blurgreenhead]

This video is the best. My teacher and the best high school football coach ever. Coach Adkins was hard nosed and tough but had the respect of everyone in the locker room. Drilled the fundamentals and didn't care who you were or what class you were in. The best player at that position played.

[shawnlm]

One of my favs!

[karasvadim]

This is much better than the Greenwheel version

[charlierock666]

melissa etheridge is the best singer ever

[tenchisgirl]

I think regardless of whether she wrote it or not, it's still a great song and she sings it well.

[benthalo111]

@tenchisgirl i dont care if she wrote it or not NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE HER

[MrJtr1888]

Now, how many idiots think she wrote this song!?

[Jackle61]

MrJtr1888; What?? I don't see one comment suggesting she wrote this song.  I'm soooo impressed by your musical knowledge. hahahaha

[FastforwardTheRewind]

@MrJtr1888 Even if one did believe she wrote the song, I don't think such a trivial misconception qualifies them as an idiot.

Anyway, great song, both versions.

[nickynice711]

Melissa owes a huge debt to Greenwheel, but this is an excellent heartfelt cover with true dedication to the words and music.

[blackleather1969]

This is my favorite song from her!

[McRhonda1960]

Love this song.....

[danymustaine]

fucking vevo

[dermatlmann]

she's so so pretty with long hair!!!

[dogstwelve]

beautiful @2:06

[DIGITALDREAMKID]

A great song but my favorite is The difference

[theGOPsucks]

Absolutley amazing. she is one talented lady

[4midfielder]

This is one cool video.

[01Paulina01]

I hate VEVO!!!

[marilynk1122]

yea, love Melissa, HATE VEVO!

[Dimonkee]

@marilynk1122 so agree with the statement

[tippngthevelvet]

The audio and visual quality of these videos is superbe!

[OsseaShredder]

A rare instance when the cover is better than the original.

[zwithgol]

@OsseaShredder Who did the original?

[ericlikepizza]

Greenwheel

[ParArdua]

Love one another?

You're dreaming, but your heart's in the right place.

[tippngthevelvet]

Beautiful performance by Melissa of an extraordinary song written by all the members of the band, GREENWHEEL.

Filmed at TWO separate football grounds, and yes, Coach Atkins is still alive.

Perhaps this time we could all love one another, or at least co-exist peacefully?
