Title : Breathe Life
Artist : Killswitch Engage
Album : The End of Heartache
Copyright (c): (Road Runner Records) (2004)
Version: 1.0
Date: 8/13/2004
Transcribed by : sumpm1
Tuning : C G C F A D (Drop C)
Release Notes:Almost every Riff has 2 guitars at the same time. If you
see 2 staffs connected, or 3 staffs connected, that means
there is 3 guitars for that part. The top staff is Gtr 1,
next down is Gtr 2 etc..... Listen to song for exact
timings. The Song Structure can be found at the bottom
of the page.
Some of the notes that are denoted hammer-on or pull-off
are really slides. It just made it easer to write the tab
that way. Use your good judgement as to which notes I
refer to.
If you see more than one version tab of this song, consider
mine to be correct and the other to be crap. I wouldn't
have to tab songs that have already been tabbed if people
would submit complete and correct tabs. Now go tear it up.

| Man, Howard Jones is a big Black God of Rock, or something... This song, kicks me in the nads, every time I listen to it. It seems to me, that Howard is talking about how humanity has this kind of self-preservation instinct, which hsa been sharpened to the point that we now act completely in our own best interests, and that this is basically the reason we are fucked as a species, and that the only way out is to take a look at each other, to "breath life" and experiance each other, anew. | |
