About the song
“In the realm of music where heritage meets heartfelt expression, the collaboration between **Lukas Nelson & Willie Nelson** on ‘Just Breathe’ stands as a testament to the enduring power of family and musical legacy. For those of us who’ve journeyed through the decades, witnessing the evolution of country and roots music, this pairing offers a profound sense of continuity.
Willie Nelson, a titan of American music, has long been a beacon of authenticity, his voice weathered yet warm, his lyrics imbued with the wisdom of a life well-lived. To see him joined by his son, Lukas, is to witness a passing of the torch, not in a sense of replacement, but of harmonious extension.
Lukas Nelson, with his own distinct musical voice, has carved a path that honors his lineage while forging his own identity. His work with Promise of the Real showcases a blend of rock, country, and soul, a sound that resonates with a generation seeking genuine musical experiences. When these two voices blend, as they do in ‘Just Breathe,’ the result is nothing short of magical.
‘Just Breathe’ itself is a song that invites introspection, a gentle reminder to find solace in the simple act of breathing. In today’s fast-paced world, such a message is more relevant than ever. The song’s arrangement, its instrumentation, and, most importantly, the vocal interplay between father and son create an atmosphere of intimacy, as if we’re sitting in their living room, sharing a moment of quiet reflection.
For those who appreciate the depth of lyrical storytelling and the timeless quality of genuine musical expression, **Lukas Nelson & Willie Nelson** offer a musical experience that transcends generations. It’s a reminder that some things, like the bond between family and the power of a well-crafted song, only grow stronger with time.”

Lyrics
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh, I’m a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah well, others, they’ve got none uh-huhStay with me, oh
Let’s just breathePracticed are my sins, never gonna let you win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh
And I don’t want to hurt, there’s so much in this world
To make me believeStay with me
You’re all I seeDid I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Or if I didn’t, I’m a fool, you see
No one knows this more than me
But I come clean
