Sia's "Breathe Me" is one of the most melancholy and uplifting pop songs ever. It was used in the finale of "Six Feet Under" as one of the leads watches her friends&family age&die. Sia's voice is appropriately breathy, befitting the theme. There's an immense,intense longing within the song. The instrumentation is perfect. "Breathe me" is at once epic and intimate.

That means Six Feet Under, if you were wondering. This song is what the producers used over the last few minutes of the series finale, as Claire drives into her future through the desert and we also get glimpses of decades to come, as various Fisher family members and friends pass on.

Sia's voice is a bit weak and breathy at times--it bugs me a little--but overall the song is beautifully rendered, with a heartbreaking piano bit and simple yet powerful lyrics.

It was the perfect choice for one of the best TV series endings I have ever seen. I downloaded the MP3 right after viewing it.

I bought this song for my wife after we heard it on a video of an E3 conference for Prince of Persia, a video game that didn't get the best reviews. The song however is excellent and flowed remarkably well with the fade in, fade out and slow motion effects of the video. The piano is simple and perfectly accentuates Sia's vocals which are airy and almost pleading. I never skip this on our MP3 player. A truly haunting song.

Great song, easy purchase and use of just as quick and simple, not to mention great options to save on your computer with free back-up on Amazon...great place to buy from!
