"Breathing" is a song by Kate Bush, from her 1980 album Never for Ever, with backing vocals by Roy Harper.

In an interview that year Bush described the song as her "little symphony", adding that she considered it her best work to date.

[5] Larry Fast, who played a Prophet synthesiser on the song,[6] first encountered Bush while the two were conducting overdubs for a Peter Gabriel recording session.

Bush invited Fast to Abbey Road Studios for the purpose of creating electronic orchestration that emulated his work with Gabriel.

Fast recalled that he recorded his parts over the course of a few days and largely deferred to Bush for the synth arrangement.
