Breathe (Télépopmusik song)

"Breathe" was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Dance Recording at the ceremony held in February 2004,[8] eventually losing out to "Come into My World" by Kylie Minogue.[9]

The music video for "Breathe" was shot in Hollywood, Los Angeles in 2001. It was directed by Jordan Scott (daughter of movie director Ridley Scott), who was 24 at the time. The video features several people gathered by a pool. A man looks bemused before laying down. A Monarch butterfly flies over him. As he grabs it in his hand, a child watches him nearby, angering the child. The man falls asleep as the child walks over. The child appears to have a mechanical “compartment” on her back. His dreams consist of moving shots within an underground train and of wheat fields (similar to those on the single cover). The child looks to an older woman for approval, before pouring “glitter” into a glass of water. She wakes the man and hands him the glass of water. The man drinks while she smiles maliciously, before the man faints. The video is mostly in slow-motion.[10] The video was nominated for "Electronic Music Video of the Year" at the 2003 Music Video Production Association Awards.[11]

"Breathe" was featured in an advertising campaign by the automobile company Mitsubishi in 2003 to promote its Outlander model, and in the UK by Peugeot in 2002 to promote the 307.[12] "Breathe" was also featured in the advertising campaign by Visa Europe in their "Love Every Day" campaign.[13] Carte Noire 2011. In 2013, indie pop band New Navy covered the song; their version was featured on the compilation album Majestic Casual: Chapter 1.[14][15]
