'Imagery' is part of the reason that makes "Breathe" what it is. From the sounds of the birds chirping to the hopeful nature of the piano progression - this is all made to depict the sound of spring.
Even though it was slightly jarring, the inclusion of the field recordings meant the track had a thick bed of textures that accentuated the imagery. You're bounce to feel at ease and in a peaceful space with a track of this caliber decorating your background.
