“Breathe Me (Live)” by Sia

"Breathe Me" comes from Colour the Small One, Sia's third album, released in 2004, and this is a live reading of it. Rolling Stone called the song "delicate and haunting", and its reputation has only grown in the years since, as it found a home first on alternative radio and then on screen, most famously on the last episode of Six Feet Under in 2005, and later in Cyberbully, a 2011 TV film.

It's been a slow burner in every sense: it barely dented the UK chart at 71 on release, then kept resurfacing, and by 2014 its American sales as a single had passed 1.2 million. Daniel Askill directed its official video, filmed across three days at a themed London hotel and pieced together from more than 2,500 Polaroid stills.
