Gavin Mareng opens the door to "Breathing Years" with a gentle honesty that feels like you're hanging on to the edge of a late-night conversation. "Breathing Years" makes itself happen with the steady determination of someone who has been running through life and has just now taken a breath long enough to feel it.
Written during a time when everything seemed to be moving so fast, growing up, chasing music, and trying to hold on to himself before all this, and speed was its own pressure on time itself. Gavin says that he came up with it during a late-night guitar session, when the phrase "breathing years" hit him as an immediate truth. He realized that his life wasn't just passing by, it was being inhaled and exhaled too quickly, and time had a pulse that he couldn't match.
Gavin was told to stop, get his musical feet back on the ground, and work on releasing something. "Breathing Years" shows that he not only listened to other people, but also to himself. It's a well-deserved arrival, a musical statement that finally matches the weight of the person he's becoming.
