"Breathe (Reprise)" is a song by Pink Floyd. Lasting just over one minute, it is usually overlooked as a part of Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon, and is usually merged into the song "Time". Breathe Reprise uses the melody from the second song on the album, "Breathe". "Time" follows straight into the music of "Breathe" with different lyrics. However, when the song ends, instead of segueing into the continuous hum of "On the Run", its music ends as the reverberations of the final note resound for about a second before the piano of "The Great Gig in the Sky".

[edit] Trivia

When Pink Floyd reunited for the Live 8 concert, they combined "Breathe", and "Breathe (Reprise)", something they had never done before, although Sea of Green had previously covered the song in this manner on their 2001 album Time to Fly.
