Here, instead, everything of Dan comes to light, perhaps due to the homemade conception of the album, and the listener cannot help but appreciate what Dan has kept hidden about himself for years. Moment by moment, 'Breathless' grows in intensity and pain, a beautiful track worthy of a round-the-world tour, much more captivating and damned catchy than the award-winning hit single by the Dixie Chicks.
