“If I Could Breathe Underwater,” is only one of the fantastic abilities Boston-based singer/songwriter, [**Marissa Nadler**](https://www.marissanadler.com/?ref=glamglare.com) muses about in her latest song. Naturally, this happens in a dream-like state and so the song leads you into an unreal sonic world out of swirling melodies and intricate beats.

Marissa explains:

> “When I wrote ‘If I Could Breathe Underwater,’ I was contemplating the possibilities of possessing various superhuman powers: teleportation, shapeshifting, energy projection, aquatic breathing, extrasensory perception, and time travel to name a few. As a lyrical device, I married those powers with events in my life, wondering if and how they could change the past or predict the future. I loved working on the melody for this song and bringing the choruses to their climaxes. Mary’s layered, hallucinatory shimmers really echo the netherworld of the story.” 

“If I Could Breathe Underwater” is on Marissa’s upcoming ninth album “[The Path of the Cloud](https://new.glamglare.com/album/marissa-nadler-the-path-of-the-clouds?ref=glamglare.com),” out on October 29 on Sacred Bones and Bella Union.
