One Last Breath


"One Last Breath" is a rock ballad by Creed, released in April 2002 as the third single from their third studio album, Weathered (2001). Written by vocalist Scott Stapp over three weeks, the song explores themes of reflecting on past mistakes and leaning on others for support. Its melodic structure and dynamic shifts between clean and driven tones make it a rewarding piece for electric guitarists looking to develop both restraint and emotional phrasing.

  • Scott Stapp wrote 'One Last Breath' over a three-week period, giving the song a carefully crafted lyrical and melodic structure.
  • The song was recorded at J. Stanley Productions Inc in Ocoee, Florida, during the Weathered album sessions.
  • At just under four minutes, the track offers guitarists a full arc of dynamics to explore, from quiet verses to powerful choruses.

Marshall JCM800

The definitive rock amp of the 1980s. The JCM800's single-channel, all-tube design produces a natural, harmonically rich overdrive at high volumes. Every hard rock and metal guitar sound from that era ran through one of these.
