It’s called “Breathe Me” by Sia. Interesting choice for the series finale. RightClickSaveAs and pretend you’re Claire driving down the highway:
Sia – “Breathe Me” (MP3 Link Expired)
Bonus:
Sia – “Breathe Me (Mylo Remix)” (MP3 Link Expired)
Four Tet, Ulrich Schnauss, and Mr. Dan also have remixes worth searching out.

Everything about this show was amazing. Yes, the characters made us mad or sick and we didn’t always like them. Pretentious? How? I say bullshit. Tnis show is so unique. Just the fact that we all ARE going to lose everyone that we love and know someday is so moving and true. I held out against Ted as well, but he was sweet and real. I think the whole point was that is the last type of person claire pictured herself with. (Ted’s deeply un-hip mix)turned out to be pretty hip? Breathe me is super beautiful. Bye six feet under! You’re the best.
I just finished watching the series finale of SFU on HBO in Demand. The last 5 or 6 minutes three times. I can’t believe how sad and beautiful the ending was! I only found this site because I was looking for the song “Breathe Me”! I don’t know about any of you, but I won’t be able to listen to it at work.
Does anyone remember what Maggie did for a profession? I have been thinking about why she was at the doctors when Ruth called her during the tear jerking last episode… Was she pregnant with Nate’s baby or was she delivering samples of the latest new drug???
LOVED this show and I can’t believe it is over
and then to cancel Carnivale!? What is to become of my On Demand lonely nights???
I, too, found this site only because I was looking for that song on Claire’s drive. But I’m glad I found the site and got to read all of your great comments:
I agree that SFU is miles ahead of conventional television. The only similarity it has to soap operas is nonstop crying scenes. The level of acting couldn’t possibly be any more far apart. Watch SoapNet and an SFU episode back-to-back, and you’ll see.
I always thought the ending might have had the following twist: The ENTIRE FIVE SEASONS would’ve all been a dream. Nathaniel’s dream, after being hit by the bus. He would’ve been hospitalized, and, at the end, all the “tombstones” would lose their death dates and we’d flash back to Nathaniel in the hospital, recuperating. Maybe some characters that he “dreamt” about, like Bettina, would be a nurse.
Ok, a little out there – but I figured, why not?
Anyway, the REAL ending was incredible, I agree. Song and all! And the glimpse into the future was simultaneously anguishing and irresistible!
I agree, Brenda’s death while Billy was ranting was hilarious! She died with a “shut the f**k up already!” look on her face.
I wonder why Anthony is gay. Is it a statement that there are more closet homosexuals out there than meets the eye (to the tune of 50%) and so having gay parents would make one more aware of his or her sexuality? Is it a statement on nurture? (One kid is gay, one marries a white woman. Both taking examples from their fathers)
I’m interested to hear what people think. Or was it simply: “It is what it is, no analysis?”
As a sucker for happy endings, I wasn’t happy that Nate died when he did. Actually, I would’ve liked to have seen him wind up with Maggie – as they seemed to hit it off without pushing each other’s buttons.
As for Ted, I didn’t really like him. Not because of his politics, but because he seemed too “un-hip” for Claire. Though I agree that he was, by far, the most normal guy she ever was involved with,making him the best marriage material by default.
Claire was my favorite – so I’m glad she made it to 102!
I liked Nicolai as minor characters went. He was hilarious!
Felt bad that Keith died so tragically, and laughed when a roly-poly Rico tumbled over.
And who would have thought George would stick around until one of his wives died, for once!
here’s a link where you can download the sia song breathe me. if it doesn’t work email me rathead81@yahoo.com

anyone know where i can dowload the song breathe me without having to buy the entire album? itunes, msn music, realplayer, etc. only allow purchase of the entire album (six feet under), not just the song. very frustrating. help please!
I just finished the last episode after starting to watch the show less than a year ago. It was so sad, seeing the lives of all these characters I felt connected to jump through time as well as realize that such a beautiful show was ending. They presented each character in all their complexities, and I loved how there were no villains. Even David’s attacker had a story to tell. There is nothing on television like it, and there never will be. They should have done something on George, I always liked that crazy old man, and he did watch two of his wives die. RIP SFU
Six feet under is the best show ever. Now that it has ended I feel like my best friend has died. No other show can top it. It has left an empty place in my heart.
hi ( :: I just finished season 5 and did a quick search. brought me to your site. thanks for the info about the song.
I too found this board while searching for the final montage song. I was happy to find so many people who share my feelings about this incredible series. The last episode gave me goose bumps, made me sob hot tears, and left me with a hole in my gut. I have watched the last 6 min about 8 times (thanks to tivo) and I have gotten emotional every time. I talk to whoever I can about it.. And have to say Alan Ball is brilliant. The writing was flawless. Bravo Six Feet Under! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ending.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE SHEET MUSIC FOR SIAS SONG “BREATHE ME”
It is October 22, 2005, and I am still incredibly haunted by the ending – SAD, isn’t it! I have a life, which I do live, believe me – it is just that the finale was so incredibly powerful. I have always been one of those “time travelers” who still cannot grasp the fact that I am now the age my parents were when I thought they were ancient and finally understand what my mother meant when she said “it hurts to get old and I do not mean physically.” What an incredibly prophetic “trip” that whole ending was – completely indescribable except to those of you who I know can relate on the level I am talking about. Anyone else still reeling?
And where can I download that entire clip?
Yes, still reeling. Why aren’t there any other programs to watch out there? I have a void to fill…..
Does anyone know where you can buy/download pictures that claire took on the show….namely the one of Ted lying in bed???????
I dont know about this show because i dont have cable, booooo, but reading all these comments makes me want to start watching the show, even though its over. Did they ever put the seasons out on DVD???
I have to admit the first time I watched SFU i was not as impressed as I thought I would be. However, watching the seasons as they passes till the final episode I almost felt a part of my life end. Although it was just a tv show I felt the same way at a small age about twin peaks. Another disturbing but twisting same show with odd humor. I was very young when “twin peaks” was a tv show and not allowed to watch it, but got to listen to it on AM radio and view it at a older age with much enthusiasm. Still the odd way that twin peaks and six feet under was is a humor that still haunts me after the series has been dismissed.
As many episodes as I have finally seen for both series the end song of Sia “Breathe Me” haunts me more than the twin peaks song. Maybe i idenitfy with it more, i don’t know, who knows really
If anyone is still here, do you know who the artists were and the song title on the “Christian” song that Ted played in that scene at his apartment when he and Claire were in bed in the last episode? It’s not on the CD and I’d love to hear the complete song.
does anyone have the video montage from the finale? i can’t find it anywhere! thanks!
Is there anyway to get the Sia “Breathe Me” song download? The MP3 link download above is expired and I can’t find the individual song to buy as a download. Maybe someone can email me the MP3.
Thanks!
Susan
I was hooked the first time I saw SFU,ending was sad but true. It was like loosing a friend you saw every week. SUF WASNOT A SOAP OPERA. There’ll never be a show like it. Loved Clair and David
Soap Opera. Maybe, but unlike any daytime soap opera this series was intelligently written.
This was a series with an underlying theme that was addressed in throughout the series – throughout our life we are faced with problems that almost seem insurmoutable. If we provide enough time, the pain associated with those problems can be reduced, especially with the help of others.
The show addressed several atypical problems. A few of these problems will be ones that will all experience at some point in our lives.
I found that some of the episodes were unrealistic, and that took a little from the show. The finale made up for these episodes and I consider it to be one of my favorite TV episodes ever. The writers accomplished one important task. They wrote them show we would learn to love each of them and their idiosyncracies. I love the ending; it was the appropriate finish for this show.
This is not a show about death. It is a show about life.
Kudos to the writers
I am still mourning…
how can I download Sia’s Breathe Me now?
I saw the last three episodes only a few days ago and I think that they were some of the best things I have ever seen. Unlike a lot of posters, I wasn’t that moved by the finale. I still don’t know if I liked how it ended. I felt that the way everyone’s life’s were shown in sped up form sort of cheapened everything. I can’t really explain it but it kind of frightened me. I was very moved however during Nate’s funeral. I was sobbing as though it was a family member that had died. It was very tragic and I felt deeply for all of the characters there (especially David). I would like to say that this show is the best drama ever. I usually don’t watch tv dramas as I find them predicatable and formulaic, but this was different. This was as good as anything ever made for tv or cinema. But I still don’t think Nate should have died. It’s just way too tragic.
HELP! I’m addicted to the Sia song BREATHE ME and I want the piano sheet music. SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE??????
Alec Baldwin asks for his voice to be removed from an "unfair" documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger…
Thought that the finale was the best ever to any tv series going……………two thumbs up to the cast and crew.
I put the song from the final montage on my desktop for easy ascess. Finished the show 4 days ago. I cried so much during that whole series. Nate was good at changing his voive, like when he 1st told his brother he was dying…
I popped.
I have watched the final montage about 20 times, and still when they show Ruth look at Nate, then small smile, and grief grips George’s face- As it fades and shows Ruths name, the hairs on my arm stand up. Oh yeah, When Rico broke while eulogizing Nate, I exploded.
THis show gave me all kinds of release. Excellent. The cool thing about really liking something, is you dont care if someone calls it a soap opera. Just keep it coming.
Like a lot of the posters here, I found this page looking for the song that plays during the final SFU montage. The sequence was a fitting coda to a satisfying series finale.
Soap opera, “pretentious”, whatever … the show was superbly acted, compelling and deeply touching. I did have my doubts about whether the writers would tie things up in a satisfying way, especially after the principal characters seemed to indulge in their chronic self-victimizations and failures to communicate in the 2nd-to-last episode (Nate’s funeral) yet *again*. But they pulled it off. The characters let go of major destructive patterns, grew, and moved forward in significant and hopeful ways. No postmodernist, nihilistic, “life sucks” messages here.
For those who have only seen the series on TV, I recommend getting access to the final season DVD (e.g., from your library, Blockbuster, or Netflix). The included documentaries are worth seeing for any fan of the series. I also found Alan Ball’s commentary on the finale worth watching – despite that I am not at all a fan of such commentaries.
And, of course, with the DVD you can watch the final montage as many times as you want. Many people I valued and loved have died in the last two years. Watching or just visualizing that poignant sequence unfailingly puts me in touch with the emotions from those losses. When Ruth sees Nate smiling softly at her as she is dying, and when David sees a younger Keith giving him that Keith half-smile just before he dies, I still lose it. I also like the humorous momements, such as when Billy bores (Alan Ball’s word) Brenda to death, still complaining about Claire breaking up with him.
An earlier poster mentioned the “obituaries” posted on the HBO/SFU website. It was not obvious to me how to find them from the SFU home page. Here is the main URL: http://www.hbo.com/sixfeetunder/obituary/episode63.shtml

I had to think over and again. After being a Tori fan since Crucify, I have to say I felt that Sia may be Tori. But maybe not. I was nervous, did I not know Tori as I thought I had? Though I like the song Breath me, I don’t need another Tori. She would have done it better.
As a six feet under fan, i started watchin the show, in 02, i became a fan, as i watched, i fell in love with it, as i was taking care of my mom, yea, im a gay son, so what. I lost my mom in 03, but at the time, i didnt think i could watch the show anymore. But what i found, was i could, and it hurt, i admit. I cancelled HBO, so i didnt get to finish watching the last yr, untill today. And it brings back alot of pain, but something more, as i type this, i do feel happy, in a way. I know it sounds odd, or stupid, but when claire drives off into her future, that song, makes me cry, but i feel emotion. I didnt know who that song was by, or the name, but i found it. SIA, Breathe me. Guess thats all i wanted to say.
I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET A SONG TO PLAY,PLEASE HELP!!!
I know that no one probably looks at this page anymore since the series ended quite sometime ago. However, I was one of those unfortunate souls who did not see SFU when it was originally on the air, but instead had to watch the reruns on Bravo. Never have I fallen so hard and so in love with a television series before and I am a TV Junkie. Last night they played the final episode, my first time every seeing it. It is still haunting me and bringing tears to my eyes as I write this. You know that it was an amazing show if it can affect you or anyone else in such a way. It is amazing that it only ran for five seasons, we all, I am sure, wish that it could have gone on forever. I dont really know what else to say except I am speechless and still just in total shock and awe nearly 24 hours after I was fortunate enough to watch this masterpiece of an episode. I have to raise 200 dollars so that I can buy the series on DVD!
The six feet under could make me happy for 5 minutes and, for the next five minutes making me cry.
I love this series……
I was going through and deleting all my old bookmarks when I came across this page.
Like everyone else, I found this page looking for the name of the montage song in the finale. To this day, I watch 6FU on dvd and my computer and enjoy it like the first time I watched it. No other TV show or movie has had me hooked like this.
Never been a fan of TV series and only discovered Six Feet Under by mistake. Was so hooked by the first episode, had to go out and buy the hole boxset (found it 2nd hand for only £40 – RESULT). Watched it back to back in a month. Most probably the most moving 6 minutes of TV ever
Could you please upload these again?
Do you have the extended version that was played on Six Feet Under?
I don’t care about you all complaining about the futuristic of the show I think the finale was yet the best of any show I’ve seen since it didn’t end like what the fuck. It just was perfectly executed for an end of a show.
