Songs with respiration as a stylistic device

mursilka · 11-04-2013, 01:25 PM

Dear all,

i really hope you can help me out here. I'm looking for songs that -as the topic suggests - use breathing as a stylistic element.
Songs of the likes of:

Tame by The Pixies
G.I. Joe by The Melvins feat. Mike Patton
The Messege by Grandmaster Flash
Je t'aime moi non plus by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin

Could you offer me some more suggestions?
As to the genre, I prefer Punk/Grunge/Garage/Alternative, Experimental and/or Acid Rock. But I'd also be glad to learn about examples from Hip Hop, Jazz, Blues, any electronically created or rearranged music. Also, anything else - I'm up for surprises!

Great thanks to all of you in advance, I'm really looking forward to your answers!

Greetings,
mursilka

I may be going along the wrong track here (no pun intended) but Plant does a weird breathing thingy on the proggy interlude of "Whole Lotta Love" doesn't he?

More moaning than breathing perhaps. Good tune though.

Kate Bush --- "Breathing"

Pink Floyd, "Dogs of war" starts off with a sort of satanic breathing noise

Kylie --- "Breathe" (incidentally she does a live version where she mixes it with "Je t'aime")

Floyd again. Hasn't "Don't leave me now" got breathing all through it?

All I can think of at the moment...

At the end of the tune, they're using breathing to simulate surgical drills.

From the top of my head, off the top of my head.
