MM 5-16: Sleeping By Myself vs. Just Breathe

Sleeping By Myself vs. Just Breathe

[stip]

Good match up. Just Breathe is lovely, and as i've said many times before 'I'm a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love' is one of my favorite romantic lyrics in the catalog. The chorus does feel mixed a bit too loud, but it's a pretty song.

But I adore Sleeping By Myself, and the way its playfulness puts a brave face on its pain, and all the ways they build out Eddie's uke song arrangement (which is also great). SBM gets my vote

I really like Sleeping By Myself and I'm tossing it a vote here as a protest against the "aw-huh"'s
