Just Breathe- Pearl Jam

I try not to get weepy often but I am about too. Tomorrow, May 11th, there will be a Great Strides walk to benefit those with Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic Fibrosis is a disease which basically destroys your lungs. All CFers want is to be able to just breathe. My son is one of those people.

"Just Breathe" by Pearl Jam had a very significant meaning to me from the first time I heard it. I am not getting into who Pearl Jam is because if you don't know by now you are truly missing out. I can tell you that this song is from the 2009 album Backspacer. 

What others may take for granted like a deep, clear breath, I pray for every night for my child. I dedicate this song to my son, Logan and for all those who suffer from Cystic Fibrosis. Just Breathe.

Thank you for reading and if you would like more information about Cystic Fibrosis please go to http://www.cff.org/.



Yes I understand that every life must end, 
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, 
I'm a lucky man to count on both hands
The ones I love...
Some folks just have one,
Others they got none,
Stay with me...
Lets just breathe.

  1. This is one of my favorite songs by Pearl Jam (the first being Oceans). This song gets me everytime, this time its worse, I am currently verklempt, thanks. But it doesn't take much.

    Pearl Jam is probably the second best american Band of all time, ;) @ Dave Stroble. I will be listening to them for the rest of the day

    And I just realized I would love to do a song review of Grannie by DMB when ever you need coverage!
