About Needtobreathe
Let’s just say that Needtobreathe is experiencing nationwide success with hit songs that have made it onto the soundtracks of blockbuster movies and well-watched TV shows.
The band’s song “More Time” was featured in the soundtrack of the 2007 film “P.S. I Love You”, and numerous Needtobreathe songs have been used on television coverage and for movies. ESPN used the song “Streets of Gold” from The Heat during the network’s coverage of the 2007 Ford 400. The show “The Hills” used “We Could Run Away”. Fox TV promoted its Monday night lineup for the shows Prison Break and K-Ville with the song “Nothing Left to Lose”. Fox Sports used “Don’t Wait for Daylight” during their coverage of the 2006 World Series. The song “Shine On” has seen the most uses, having been played on the MTV show “Newport Harbor”; “Oprah’s Big Give”; the movie “Employee of the Month”; the movie To Save a Life; and in 2008, the song featured in the WWE Tribute to the Troops special. In August 2009, the song “These Hard Times” from the band’s album The Outsiders was featured in promos for a new NBC show, Mercy. Their song “Nothing Left to Lose” was featured in trailers for the movie “Extraordinary Measures” released January 2010. In addition, their song “Something Beautiful” is featured in the soundtrack of the film “When In Rome” and on the 21st episode of the first season of “Cougar Town.”
