Using "Breathe" in Your Lyrics

Breathe is the most physical word in songwriting — it reminds the listener they have a body. Perfect rhymes like 'seethe' and 'wreathe' are unusual enough to feel fresh, while near rhymes like 'believe' or 'release' add the emotional dimension that makes breathing meaningful. Breathe verses work best when they slow the listener down.
