"Sleep Like Breathing" is a song by English singer Alison Moyet with David Freeman, released on 21 September 1987[1] as the fourth and final single from her second studio album, Raindancing.

"[4] "Sleep Like Breathing", a duet between Moyet and the Lover Speaks' singer David Freeman, was included as the fifth track on Raindancing, released by CBS in April 1987.

[6] With the collaboration between the two artists, Moyet and Freeman became friends and the release of "Sleep Like Breathing" sparked further rumours in the British press that the pair were romantically involved.

[13] In a review of Raindancing, Betty Page of Record Mirror picked "Sleep Like Breathing" as the album's highlight and described it as "a lullaby which aches with a languid heaviness and sways with veiled suggestion and delicate sensuousness".

[14] Jonathan Butler of the US magazine People considered it to be one of only two songs on Raindancing to "exhibit the haunting quality [Moyet] is capable of" and "reminiscent of more cerebral, Kate Bush-like material.

[16] Digital Audio and Compact Disc Review commented that "there's just no hope for such dull, lethargic ballads as 'Blow Wind Blow' and 'Sleep Like Breathing'".

[18] In a retrospective review of Raindancing, Paul Scott-Bates of the music website Louder Than War commented that the song's single release was "almost criminally ignored".
