Breathless is an internalized dialog set to music that explores a whirlwind of emotions from confused, to aroused, to completely delirious by the end of the song. Sort of like the same way you feel when you're falling head over heels in love with someone.The music changes just as much as Empress Naima's emotions do throughout the song. Starting off with only a string bass and Naima scatting, and then as the singing begins congas, it switches to aroused, to completely delirious by the end of the song. Sort of like the same way you feel when you're falling head over heels in love with someone.
