Take One Last Breath

At that time of release for their self-titled EP, "Take One Last Breath" was titled "Pedestrians Is Another Word for Speedbump".^[3] Angelo Aita explained that the song name was changed because the band "changed the song completely...so it's like a new name for a new song" and that Universal Music Canada, "wanted [Abandon All Ships] to shorten [the song title] because it was really long."^[3]

The song was featured on Warped Tour's 2011 compilation album.^[4]

The song was written by the group prior to the release of their self-titled EP and was the second song they wrote.^[3] The track was produced by Mark Spicoluk who also produced their debut studio album, Geeving.^[1]

The differences between "Take One Last Breath" and "Pedestrians Is Another Word for Speedbump" are minor. A main difference is that "Take One Last Breath" is longer by 21 seconds, and does not include the synth patches from "Pedestrians" during the breakdown. The middle part of the song where is says "captain captain, before the sail rips" repeats three times in "Pedestrians", yet is said only twice in "Take One Last Breath", first "captain captain, before the sail rips", then "captain captain, I can see enemy ships" before repeating the first term. Lastly, "Pedestrians" does not repeat the chorus at the end, but simply ends with the breakdown.^[3]

The music video premiered on MuchMusic on June 30, 2010, following their appearance on disBand.^[1] The video also aired on VH1 on August 27,^[5] and MTV's Headbangers Ball on August 24.^[6]

The music video for the song was directed by Davin Black of 235films, and is a performance-only style music video.^[5] It primarily features the band performing either on the ground, or on higher platforms with their instruments. A behind-the-scenes video was posted to Abandon All Ships' YouTube page on July 5, 2010,^[7] showing a dispute about lasers that were apparently supposed to be in the video.
