Reading some of the stories and loving each of them, dark or light-hearted. This song has so much meaning to myself too. It was 1995, I was married say, 4 years, and at that point I had been in the Army three years. Still a young Sergeant. My wife was pregnant. Seriously pregnant -- and had been dealing with Braxton-hick contractions previously. Two hospital visits later, still no baby. On June 5th 1995, my wife and I walked around our block trying to motivate our newborn to make a move. I was in bed after the walk watching some MTV and this song came on -- first time I saw the video though heard it on the radio. Now, I'm a nurse so "lightening crashes" to me has several meaning. A few weeks earlier, at the end of her third trimester, the fetus dropped into the pelvis. This is called "lightening". We delivered our son two hours later on that day in June. Call it whatever you want, the timing and more importantly, the beautiful memory burned into my brain and heart. It created such a grand and beautiful memory. I love you kid.

Powerful song man, when you know the meaning behind it.

[@HardtoBeme]

What is the meaning?

[@dusk327]

@@HardtoBeme They wrote it about a high school friend who was killed by a drunk driver. She donated her organs, and the song is supposed to symbolize rebirth/reincarnation tied with that.

[@bbushkie1]

@@dusk327it’s about the circle of life. Ed from live wrote it about the friend who died. He later commented about how everyday people die and new ones are born. Which he said was the transference of life. He is a fairly religious guy and it can be seen in many of his songs.

[@PeteKay]

also, "lightening" is a medical lingo defining the fetus dropping into the pelvis in the third trimester. If you're interested, I posted what this song meant to me as well but it'll probably be buried when, and if u see this. I'll cliff note it though, I watched this video the very day my son was born in 95. It just came on while watching MTV. My wife went into labor at the very same time on Jun 5th 1995. It was the craziest coincidence and beautifully framed in my memory. @@dusk327

He is a real musician (kinda like Dave Grohl) and since he became sober he's really been delivering in several projects.

I just enjoy him - no matter what he does. My son feels his music has suffered since getting clean, I don't care. I am 57 years old and I love the music before and after recovery. Yet I do know this, his singing has never been better. Love him or hate him, doesn't matter to me. I've seen Corey in a HIM beanie and shortly after, performing with Apocalyptica - just never ends with this dear man. About to read his books now, he has so intrigued me.
