Keep Breathing

This song could inspire even the most suicidal person to come down off the ledge. I love it.

Actually, you're wrong, too. She wrote this song a little more than a month ago for Grey's Anatomy. This information was posted on Ingrid Michaelson's MySpace blog:

This song is absolutely amazing.

LOOKEE EVERYONE, A COMMENT NOT INVOLVING GREY'S ANATOMY

I think this is about getting over depression. It's at the point that you realise it is possible to get over it with that someone next to you, and you know you want to change; change yourself and th world. But you're barely out of it, so you're just trying to keep living.

Soooooo good. Thank you Grey's Anatomy for asking her to write this wonderful song.

i think that yes, this song could be relating to the world and all that we can do is hope for it to change.

but i also think that it relates to an ending relationship or a relationship that is about to end, where neither person knows what to do so they can only keep breathing.

"The storm is coming, but I don't mind. People are dying, I close my blinds." -this storm is the relationship ending, problems are coming. and people dying signifies the two in the relationship and how it's ending, but they don't seem to care.

"I want to change the world, instead I sleep. I want to believe in more than you and me." -this line can represent the actually world, but if you look at it from a relationship point of view "the world" is their relationship that neither of them really care about anymore. she wants to believe that there is more to their relationship, but all she can do is keep breathing, waiting for it to get better.

the lines: "The storm is coming, but I don't mind. People are dying, I close my blinds." completely remind me of the movie Hotel Rwanda

kinda of off subject here, but its like your world is falling down around you and the most you can do is keep breathing

and i was also reading this book Left To Tell about the genocide in Rwanda and this girls mother has a psychic who predicts a storm the coincidences are weird

honestly i think it is what it is, plain and simple. Like hopeful canyon was saying, it represents us, our whole society. I really love the line "I want to believe in more than you and me." because what i think she's saying that she wants to believe there is more out there, more people who give a damn about what's going on then her and maybe one other person.

For now she's "Just breathing" because for one reason or another she isn't, or feels she isn't, capable to do anything else.

I love this song so much "all we can do is keep breathing" when there's awful shit going on, just taking everything day by day, minute by minute, just breathing--that's what she's talking about.

Very inspirational, very soothing. There is so much wrong in this world, yet it is so difficult to bring oneself to make a difference. It seems there's not good place to start. It's easy to get caught up in the insanity of it all, and suddenly nothing is certain. The only thing to do is keep breathing....keep going, keep trying, keep loving, keep working to do good.

Keep living.

I think that the line "I want to believe in more than you and me" is either referring to a higher being, perhaps, or that there is a greater love out there in a relationship (if the song is indeed about a relationship). Looking through y'alls comments, I can also see what you mean about there being a bigger and better world out there full of people that are much more alive and caring than she seems to be in this song.
