Breathless

Written by Latimer, Bardens and Ward, it opens the album, with Richard Sinclair on lead vocal and bass, Latimer on guitars, Bardens on keyboards, Ward on drums and Mel Collins on soprano saxophone and flutes. It was produced by the band with Mick Glossop. The lyric is addressed to an idealized, almost otherworldly woman, a first love who seems timeless and whose origins are unknown.

It was issued as a single, backed with Rainbow's End, only in Spain, as Sin Respiración, and in Japan. Background Magazine singled it out as one of the record's good showcases for Sinclair's voice. setlist.fm logs only two Camel performances, both on the 1978 tour, the last in a Spanish television studio in December. The upload in the hypersongs web is the 2023 remaster of the original 1978 recording, from the Air Born box.
