The story behind the song

"Just Breathe" is a song by American rock band Pearl Jam, released in 2009 as the second single from their ninth studio album, Backspacer. The song's initial chord was inspired by "Tuolumne," an instrumental piece from Eddie Vedder's soundtrack for the 2007 film Into the Wild. What became the chorus was originally intended as the song's bridge by Vedder, but it was changed at the suggestion of producer Brendan O'Brien. All lyrics for the song were written by Eddie Vedder.
