about

breathe.'s fourth single "Grace" is dedicated to Tommy Walker, the twin of band member Sean Walker, and is a pristine offering of aching, late-night soul, marrying a shuffling backbeat with reverb-laden guitars and pianos.

Says Sean of the background behind the track: “In December of 2018, my twin Tommy was found unconscious on the side of the road after a horrific motorcycle accident. The night of the incident, an incredible team of paramedics, nurses and doctors worked tirelessly to bring them back. As I sat in the intensive care unit, I was told that they might not wake up, and I had to contemplate the devastating possibility of losing my other half. This film is a celebration of Tommy’s survival and strength, their queerness, and their community who love and care deeply for them.

The music video, a loving tribute to Tommy, combines the duo's minimal, slow-burning electronic soul with their eye for atmospheric, emotive cinematography. Ultimately, it's a meditation on what it means to be free and alive in a body. The video features Tommy dancing inside Sydney’s Red Rattler Theatre, a space that Sean says “is important to Tommy and to Sydney's queer community... where Tommy feels safe and comfortable to be wholeheartedly and completely themselves - a place where they found their family, and their identity." Alone and framed by house lights, Tommy captures the bliss found in these liberatory spaces through the movement of their own body. “After spending months in a wheelchair with a broken back, ribs and pelvis, nerve damage, and brain injury”, Sean concludes, “Tommy can once again move and express themselves freely, and the video celebrates this."

Grace lyrics:
INTRO
She's not your red-lipped doll
Acting helplessly
Moving gracefully
She’s unbreakable

VERSE 1
She's not your red-lipped doll
Acting helplessly
Moving gracefully
She’s unbreakable

CHORUS 1
I’m not your Red-lipped doll
Fancy as can be.
Acting helplessly
Asking silently.
Moving gracefully
You do not know me.
I’m unbreakable
Confident and free.

VERSE 2
Life’s not what you see,
Gotta learn it on your own.
Under constant scrutiny.
The only life I've ever known.
Need to break free.

CHORUS 2
I’m not your red-lipped doll
Fancy as can be.
Acting helplessly
Asking silently.
Moving gracefully
You do not know me.
I’m unbreakable
Confident and free.

OUTRO
Fancy as can be.
Asking silently.
You do not know me.
Confident and free.
