From The Dam at Otter Creek to Horse is fantastic! It’s one of my all-time favourites... so many albums from the 90s are like that. Dirt/AIC, Ten/Pearl Jam, Superunknown/Soundgarden... Among others.♥️

[@krs1971]

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.

[@seanhoward7037]

The song is about reincarnation. The singer had a fascination with Hinduism at the time. On their next album "Secret Samadhi" the song "Lakini's Juice" is about his transition from Christianity to Hinduism. I highly recommend the 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.

[@carolcarol3938]

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.

[@lokisfriend]

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.

[@jillkona221]

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.

[@KimberlyAnnScheper]

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.

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!

Pillars of Davidson is pure magic. My favorite on TC.

John Melendez White, Discussion is definitely another amazing song! Very relevant, actually. The entire album from The Dam At Otter Creek to Horse is phenomenal. My only regret is not seeing them when they came here...

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).

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”

[@justawhisperintheuniverse8257]

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.

[@paulagwhyte1720]

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"

[@annagonzales8178]

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!

[@laurasomebody]

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 KZbin 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.

Probably partly due to the use of the drug pitocin. I almost bleed to death after I had my daughter. You wouldn't believe how much blood I lost, it was nuts. Hemmorage is common with pitocin.

I think the message is even greater than a single death or birth.
