Alone you breathe by Savatage

Another song that came up on my playlist this morning is "Alone you breathe" by Savatage (I am come back to the beginning of my playlist and am travelling through the A song). I discovered Savatage through the album "Wake of Magellan", which in my opinion has some of the greatest songs ever. At the end of the album, I found a bonus song named "Alone you breathe" sung not by the singer of the group but by the keyboardist Criss Olivia. The lyrics and the tune of the songs caught my attention, especially these haunting lines

You're thrown it all away

And now we'll never see

The ending of the play

The grand design

The final line

And what was meant to be

The group Savatage was formed in the 80's by two brothers - one took the singing and song writing responsibility of the group and other took care of the guitars. A few years after forming the group, the guitarist died in a car crash. The singer brother was heartbroken and wrote this song in his brother's memory. It is a part of the album "Handful of Rain". It's not sung by the singer brother though. Savatage had a new singer for a few albums.

The words and music are so powerful that almost every time it brings tears into my eyes. A very beautiful song.
