Live Lighting Crashes Reaction 

That album is amazing from beginning to end.

Singer Ed Kowalczyk has a beautiful voice.

The way you impersonated Luke Bryan has me cracking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

The song is about the cycle of birth and death

I do like Live but i think this song was just super overplayed, cant take it anymore lol! I like Lakini’s juice & I, Alone still :-).

Lyrically, musically a great song. Just can't stand the dudes voice singing it.

Hi, this song isn't about someone dying in childbirth. I believe it's more about the circle of life. The lyrics speak of a new baby being born while an old woman down the hall dies. It says the confusion that was hers belongs now to the baby down the hall. Great song from the 90's by Live. I remember the radio stations censoring out the part about the placenta falling to the floor, lol.

Now you have to do I ALONE and ALL OVER YOU by Live both from their Throwing Copper album.. man I wore that CD out! ❤️

the Mother didn't die...an older woman down the hall passed.....song is about emotions all people have at the joy of new life and the grief of death.....I looked it up.....I just liked the song

Can you do Hootie and the Blowfish let her cry. My dad sang this to me too and I'd love to know what you think. Please and thank you God bless

I love this song. My dad used to play it guitar and sing it to me. R. I. P dad 😭😭

Throwing Copper was such an amazing album. I remember when they used this song on an episode of ER where a mother died. It was so sad. Live is such an underrated band.

From Throwing Copper. Awesomeness!

Please do Otis Redding 'sittin on the dock of a bay'

Here are the lyrics for this song. It may be easier to understand that it's not about a woman dying in childbirth, but the circle/cycle of life and death; I really like the song for just that reason...the continuum of life...but the singing and music too. Lightning crashes a new mother cries Her placenta falls to the floor The angel opens her eyes The confusion sets in Before the doctor can even close the door Lightning crashes an old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it. Lightning crashes a new mother cries This moment she's been waiting for The angel opens her eyes Pale blue colored iris Presents the circle And puts the glory out to hide, hide Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The… Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it. Oh now feel it, comin' back again Like a rollin', thunder chasing the wind Forces pullin' from The center of the earth again I can feel it.

I flatlined giving birth to my second child. She was born as a result of a trauma. I do not regret my decision for one second. I love and will always love my little girl. Song makes me cry. But in a good way.

Greatest song of the 90's. Throwing Copper is my second favorite album of all time. Live is one of the few bands who have never put out a bad album. Their stuff is top notch.

From one of my favorite albums ever! Great band! “Dolphins Cry,” “All Over You,” “Iris” are other great songs by Live!

It's the placenta song!

This song was all over the radio in about 1994 and Live is just a really great band. It just evokes happy memories of my mid twenties, and my children were babies.

This group was so under rated

You should make a shorter intro bro. Jump into the song reaction like 30 seconds in

Wow this is such a great song by great folks...its called lightning crashes by the group Live...this song itself gives me chills....I can feel it.....man this hits you in the feels....thank you Ty...be blessed

Pillar of Davidson would be a great one to react to, too! Throwing Copper is just a fantastic album from start to finish! All Over You is a personal fave.❤️ Lightning Crashes is such an emotional song that was dedicated (IIRC) to a high school friend who died suddenly~ she was killed by a drunk driver. Since my mom's passing from cancer in 2012, who was my best friend & just the greatest mom ever, this song has reminded me of her. ❤️❤️❤️ And I've had Throwing Copper since it was released. Funny how older songs can take on new meaning at later stages in your life. Live has *many* amazing songs. Love seeing someone react to them!

Throwing Copper is a phenomenal album.

Childbirth is the most dangerous medical event a woman faces. Sadly the US has one of the highest maternal morbidity (death rate) in the first world countries. It's not decreasing but actually increasing!

This song is beautiful. It has a very sad memory connected to it for me. On the morning that the Oklahoma City Bombing happened I was listening to the radio to hear the updates. After they informed the listeners of the loss of babies and children dying - the DJ dedicated this song to those children. It was surreal. Pretty close to 9/11. I still love this song.

Dude yes! Now do I Alone and Selling The Drama!

SOoo much talent their music it’s just genius 👍♥️

That opening instrumental is very moving. I heard and saw it on MTV in the 9th grade, so I was a bit young to be moved but I still liked the song. You tend to like stuff like this even more when you're an adult. If you decide on "I Alone", it's considered a bad video by several people (but the song is great).

Ed's voice is so full of emotion, he is a fully charged singer, Live was a ball busting group, always gave 110. He is still a very talented singer/songwriter and still has heart. I loved these guys from the first time I saw this video back in the day and it never fails to touch me deeply.

Such a great song... the first time I heard it and actually listened to the words it was very touching to me

Live is a great band and have a lot of good songs with deep thought provoking lyrics.

Would you please Listen to Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show Sylvias Mother

Great song. Well written and a great example of building tension.

It's not about someone dying during childbirth.

I'm partway through. I really like this song. And, watching your face, I'm thinking, reactors to music shouldn't watch music videos - just do the sound. (Because the vid isn't necessarily anything like what the song was originally about.)

like your channel, watched numerous videos, I'm confused on this one- did you like the song or not? not really heard you say. I have several of their albums. LIVE fans, if you have not seen LIVE- Live at the Presideo , didn't spell that right, one of the best live performances ever.

Excellent choice, excellent review! One of my favorites to kick back with a quality set of headphones and drift away to.

This video and Zombie by the Cranberries were constantly on MTV in the mid 90s.

This song brings back so many memories of high school. Live is a great band. Very glad that you reacted to this song. ❤

song "overcome" by them

A particularly powerful tune from a very powerful album. One of the 90s standouts.

Definitely see this as being about the cycle of life and death. Hit home later in life when my dad passed away five days before my son was born. Sometimes... just see a bit of him in there, even though they never met.

The song is about the transference of life. In one hospital room a person is passing away while right down the hall a new life is being birthed.

Thank you for reacting to this exemplary 90s tracks. One more of their track selling the drama and i alone needs your reaction

Never knew the title nor artist of this song, however always enjoyed this song when it came on the radio. To me it speaks of the circle of life.

Such a good song!

Live is one of the most underrated bands of all time

One of my favorite songs. Great reaction....always top shelf.

I think this is regarding childbirth...I'm sure that it means different things to different people. This was popular in 1996 and I fell in love with it. I associate this song with the birth of my son...it was the last song I heard before I had him...I heard the song and an hour later he came in to this world. I will always love this song and every time I hear it I am reminded of the miracle my son is. Thank you for reacting to this song!!! I hope that you have a wonderful and blessed day my friend!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂 🐧🐧

Ed Kowalczyk is one amazing singer and I love this band. His range is fantastic too. His lyrics are awesome. This such an emotional song. My third son always cries when he hears it. (He hates the part when Ed sings "An old mother dies) in fact, all of my sons get sad! Live's album "Throwing Copper" that this song is from is one of my top ten favourites. So is their album, "The Distance"

Powerful song, only song I know that has the word Placenta in it!

I think it was more about the baby is replacing the old lady down the hall passing away as a sign of never ending life cycle?? IMO

Ed Kowalczyk’s live renditions of this song are spectacular. He never sings it the same way twice. Favorite is when he sings it falsetto.

The band is named live, the song is called lightning crashes. Live is a very under appreciated rock band from the 90’s, I love this album but I also love the album secret samadhi. He has such a strong voice. I think this song is more about how as one person dies another is born, maybe even reincarnated into a new person. “Lightning crashes an old mother dies Her intentions fall to the floor The angel closes her eyes The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall”

Try "LIVE" with a song called "Rattlesnake"

Nice

MRM I think you should hear Bob Dylan: It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding). Follw the words if you can :-)

The circle is complete life begets death as death begets life

I never saw the video to this song. It changes a lot. I have a friend that almost died giving birth to her 2nd child. It was so scary and it was miracle that she lived!

Love this song, Live is one of the greatest 90's alternative band, try "Lakini Juice"

I really wanted to do an altered version of All Over You at my sisters wedding. Live is a profound band too bad they really never made it even though most people recognize their hits.

Live ❤ one of my most favorite bands of all time.

You’re doing great things! Keep it up.

This was one of my favorite songs in my teens. It was all over the radio, along with a few of their other songs. I didn't own a CD player until my older brother bought me one for my birthday at the end of 1996 and then I only had 4 CDs, so I made mix tapes with their songs from the radio. (The CDs he gave me were Garbage, 311, and NIN pretty hate machine and the downward spiral lol) This song resonates with me because it's a story of pain and triumph... and has an intense chorus to belt out loudly. As i remember, there was a lot of angst and longing in the songs i liked as a teenager... it hit home as a confused, burgeoning kid. Also, they played this and stuff like blind melon with a live band at my church... it reminds me of a Christian band i really dug named Plumb. The challenge has been finding these songs on spotify and RU-vid because the band's name always brings up live renditions of songs, but not usually the band... and i may remember the song, but not its name or specific lyrics after so long.

What's up MRM!? Try Ed Sheeran: Supermarket Flowers.

I love this song it reminds me of my daughter's birth. They told me one or both of us wouldn't make it and recommended an abortion . I chose to take my chances and we are both here. She's now 17

Takes me back. My best friend LOOOVED Live when we were in High School.

I like this, never heard of them before.

Please do the song “Dolphins Cry” by Live.

"Selling the Drama" from the same album would be a great one for you to hear.

React to Selling The Drama, I Alone, & All Over You by Live

SELLING THE DRAMA

I have heard this song before somewhere but cant remember. I love it and the lyrics.

I almost died giving birth to my daughter who is now 8 years old. My husband's been scared to death of me getting pregnant again. But every time I hear this song it brings me back to that time when I flatlined and then taking that deep breath of air again, hearing my husband screaming for me to wake up. The song is pretty hard for him to listen to. But we both thank God I am still here.

Excellent!! I asked for this a while back. I just liked the whole circle of life message, and the passion he sings with.

MRM , Check out Avenged Sevenfold " Dear God " and " So Far Away " .. I'd like to see your reaction to these since ppl think they have a ' dark side ' ( the band )

Good song from that era

Circle of life.

It has a great sound to it...probably heard it 100 times and never seen the video or really listened to the lyrics...just a good sound that is outside what I normally listen to...just always likes the tune.

todd is dope

My wife almost died having my baby girl ,this hits home every time I hear this song ,but I'm not sure the exact meaning of the song that song writer wanted to say ,all I know is what it says to me.

According to lead singer, Ed Kowalczyk, who recalled to Spin magazine, “The music video, which depicts one woman dying while another gives birth, has caused some confusion among fans. Ed explains: "While the clip is shot in a home environment, I envisioned it taking place in a hospital, where all these simultaneous deaths and births are going on, one family mourning the loss of a woman while a screaming baby emerges from a young mother in another room. Nobody's dying in the act of childbirth, as some viewers think. What you're seeing is actually a happy ending based on a kind of transference of life."

Love Live

Where are you from. What state do you reside

Like most music, interpretation is subjective. I took this to draw attention to the cycle of life (someone giving birth) to someone dying (down the hall). It seems to be a very smart and mystical track....but if you want to party, you're probably not going to put this on. Another track on the same album, 'I Alone', is very worth checking out and the reason I bought the CD way back when.

My dad used to stage prep for them WAYYYY long ago... R.I.P. dad.

My mom was a midwife and an L&d nurse before that, I was raised by these women and I volunteered at the hospital. We were told that if there was a rose on the door to not enter because it meant she had lost a baby. I remember having followers for a lady w a rose 🌹 on the door and I stopped. Life is so precious and gone too soon and making a life carrying a life delivering that life it’s all a miracle. After that day giving birth was somehow bigger. That’s what this song makes me think of and hugs for all the moms and all the families that lose moms!

I lost my first child right before this song came out. It kind of gets to me, but I listened to it anyway.

I have always liked a lot of the 90's "Grunge" bands. My son was a teenager then and was a big fan of Pearl Jam and now his son just turned 13 and loves the same music and is a guitar player that loves Nirvana. And life carries on!

This was one of the most influential bands of their time. You can still hear their influence to this day.

The band is "LIVE" -- the song is "Lightning Crashes". To ME, their best songs are "OVERCOME" and "TURN MY HEAD". If you see this, please check out those two songs by "Live".

Oh the 90's! Not sure how to interpret the lyrics and their meaning, but maybe symbolic rather than a real life event or experience... Maybe would suggest either 'Bitter Sweet Symphony" by The Verve or "I'll Be" by Edwin McCain if available to you... ;)

It was one of the best songs to ever hit the radio in the 90's. Live had 3 great albums to hit the 90's, and great songs with those albums. Like Selling the Drama, White Noise, I Alone, Lightning Crashes, Turn My Head, Turn to the Water, They Did it All for Love, All Over You. And those were just the songs they released.

Live is one of my favorite bands from the 90's. I love this song. But I love Selling of Drama from them.

The problem with hearing a song for the first time while watching the music video is that you are distracted by the images and not taking in the lyrics (and overall feel of the track). I'd much rather you watched a lyric video first then the official music video.

Is this about a mother dying during childbirth? Emotional

Nope, baby is born and the old dying mother's soul goes into the baby. It is a JOYFUL song about the continuity of life. NO ONE dies, not ever. We are immortal, thanks to our heavenly Father.
