[@dog4mike]

Here's a story no one will read or care about, but I'll put it out there anyway. I was serving in the Army in 1994 when this song came out. I was 20 years old and lived in a barracks, which was basically like a really basic apartment situation. Because we all didn't have a lot of space and worked and lived so closely together, we shared a lot, including music. My roommate and close friend was really into Live, and I remember how much he loved this album. In early 1995 I got sent to a school across the country for a couple months. When I came back, he and some others had been sent on a deployment. It was meant to be an easy humanitarian mission, bringing food and supplies to people, but things happened and he never came back. His valuables and personal effects were sent to his family, but his music collection had been left in the barracks common area for the rest of us. My buddies thought I should keep it. I know the subject matter of the song doesn't match my story, but I still think of him every time I hear a Live tune. All of 1995 just came back to me in ten minutes...

[@jgreen6772]

The song is not only the whole "circle of life" thing with a baby being born in one room while an old woman dies in another. It's also about a friend of theirs who was killed by a drunk driver and donated several of her organs, including her heart, which gave new life to others. But it's a very powerful song, especially the way it progressively builds. Great reaction - I love it when music makes people cry (in a good way).

[@Serrapie76]

Oh wow I did know that!!! 🥺

[@da4846]

Great comment. I’ve heard that the friend who died also donated their eyes. This is referred to in the second verse, where the deceased is now an angel, who opens up the recipients eyes, “this moment they’ve been waiting for.”

[@melaniejimmy]

That right I had almost forgotten about that part of the story of the song but I do remember hearing the band mention it I was in high school when this song came out such a great song.

[@m0nm0n]

I always loved the song growing up, but when i found that out as I got older it made me appreciate it even more - such a beautiful sad song about the most precious of gifts

[@Serrapie76]

@@m0nm0n oh same here!! Music became therapy as I got older 😆 and ironically I appreciated the “old stuff” my dad played constantly growing up (Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Crosby Stills &Nash, Supertramp, Simon & Garfunkel, Elvis, Etta James etc etc) I remember him rocking me to sleep and hearing music bc he would sit in the living room some nights just jamming out to music just “chillin out” 🥰🥰

[@DaveyPB]

The young mother giving birth to the baby doesn’t die (she cries)… the “old mother dies” is referring to a older lady (also a mother) down the hall in the same hospital who has lived a full life and is now dying. It is a song about the circle of life - the part “The angel closes her eyes, The confusion that was hers Belongs now to the baby down the hall” speaks to that moment

[@lmc932]

The line about the old mother "her intentions fall to the floor" gets me choked up everytime

[@Verlopil]

The video is confusing I think, because it puts coins or disks on the mother's eyes like some cultures do in death.

[@doolie165]

Wrong. This song was about a girl he went to high school with that died in child birth. He was horrified that in this day and age someone could still die in childbirth

[@screwyootube1]

@@doolie165 Charlie is correct.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

@@doolie165 Inspired by, but not about. The lyrics are pretty clear. Was there some old lady who died down the hall, in the same hospital his friend died in, or is this an obvious song about the circle of life? Use Occam's razor.

Throwing Copper entire album was incredible. This song is all about the circle of life and everything that takes place in a hospital emergency room. When he says the confusion that was hers now belongs to the baby down the hall. It's just powerful and amazing lyrics about life and death and reincarnation Ed was a genius when he wrote this one

He was also around 19-20yo when he wrote it as well, quite profound song writing for such a young age.

[@neox79]

Throwing Copper was one of the most complete albums, ever. There’s no weak track present on there.

[@stevewest5397]

It's a common misconception about this song (in fact, this video precipitated a 'discussion' between my wife and I), but this song is not about losing the mother in childbirth. The song is about the circle of life. In one room, a child is born to the "new mother". "Down the hall", the "old mother" dies. One life ends, and another begins. The lead singer made this pretty clear in interviews.

[@_nauticaldisaster_]

The way he sings emulates an actual storm. The quiet melody evolving the powerful chorus. His voice is like a storm rolling in.

[@kimberlylabrec246]

Crazy that after all these years of loving this song, I don't think I ever put that together till watching this video 😂 I love thunderstorms

[@barrycohen311]

From WIki- "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." This is from the singer who also wrote the song.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I had always thought the mom died in childbirth in the song, but I had heard that wasn’t the meaning.

[@joshuathompson2404]

That's weird so many people think the 2 mothers are the same person...I guess because in the song he refers to them as 'a new mother' and 'an old mother' I never really envisioned them as the same person---which appears to be the case.

[@HedgieEirulf]

@@joshuathompson2404 I saw it as the old mother died giving birth to the new mother. The new mother (the daughter) became pregnant and had the underlying fear of dying like her mom.

[@BarrysToolCave]

"Selling the Drama" and "I alone" are two more huge hits for reaction purposes, but "Dolphins Cry" is another gem. The entire "Throwing Copper" album is another album like Michael Jackson's Thriller, or Pink Floyd's Dark side of the moon.. Every song is a masterpiece from beginning to end.

[@dchenkin02]

"Dolphins Cry" isn't on the Throwing Copper album; song came out five years later in 1999.

[@BarrysToolCave]

Its not like they only react to only a single album. They just do random songs by request. So, that hardly matters. I'm still waiting for them to do "love" by En Vogue. Amber loved them, but never revisited them. It's not likely any of the suggestions on KZbin will ever be reacted to unless a patreon that donated money requests it.

Throwing Copper was one of the most important albums of my teenage years. So happy you're getting into Live.

[@andrewmize823]

This song came out when I was 14. I knew nothing about death because all of the family members who were living when I was born were still alive--so it didn't have the same impact. As life moves on and you mature, though, you inevitably reach a point where those people you've known and loved all your life start dropping off one-by-one. You begin to understand your own mortality and the temporary nature of your existence more and more. I haven't heard this song in years, and hearing it just now was overwhelming, because I'm now familiar with both sides of the equation. It hurts, but in a way that's comforting; it's reminder that things keep going when our time here is over. I'm not religious, but I like to think there's a purpose to our time here, and I keep the hope that there's a bright place somewhere where we all meet again.

[@jesswiii]

I'm not religious either but I'll say Amen to this.

[@bevil4aday]

Throwing Copper is one of those quintessential 90's albums. Like Miseducation of... , Tragic Kingdom, Tigerlily, Jagged Little Pill, Ten or Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It is one of those must have albums to complete a 90's music collection.

I always saw this video & song as a transference of life. The new mother laboring giving birth of her new baby. The old mother, down the hall, dies; and her family around her in grief. The angels are there overseeing this cycle of life. Just my interpretation, but the young mother is seen at the end of the video smiling as she cradles her newborn child. Stunning song and beautiful meditation on life.

[@wileysaichek9508]

I think a lot of the confusion is the coins on her eyes. I thought the mother had died for a long time, and wasn't sure if her being alive at the end was real or a vision.

The song is about the circle of life. At the same moment life is being born in one room, death is happening in the room down the hall. And the confusion of life is transferred from one to another.

I would add The Beauty of Gray as well to these two but I love all of Mental Jewelry :)

[@continentalaquatics2725]

All hidden gems. “Mirror Song” and “Mother Earth is a Vicious Crowd” are two other standouts for me!

[@jeffhjelm9348]

Think they'd really love the bass on "Pain" for sure

[@screwyootube1]

Also dig 10,000 Years (Peace is Now)! This might be an unpopular opinion, but I believe Mental Jewelry is superior to Throwing Copper. TC is brilliant, don't get me wrong. And it's pretty clear, they learned a lot, gained a lot of experience, before they made TC. But MJ is their finest work.

A song that evokes so much emotion, it's hard not to tear up! It was beautiful to see Amber break as she was reliving the births of your children. Live is one of the best 90s bands hands down. I was fortunate to see them in concert about 20 years ago. Their first album, Mental Jewelry, is right up there with Throwing Copper. Beautiful reaction video xoxo

Ed, the lead singer, now owns 55% of Live. He essentially fired the other 3 members and is now touring as "Live" with a whole new backing band. One of my favorite albums of all time. Glad I got to see the whole original band in 2019 for the Throwing Copper 25th Anniversary tour.

[@screwyootube1]

One of the reasons I can't support them anymore. He's a fantastic singer, and IS the VOICE of Live. But the other members are also Live. They need to try to patch things up (again).

[@davidgallistel2083]

@screwyootube1 There was a lengthy and detailed article in Rolling Stone magazine in February about the demise of Live. Comes down to guitarist Chad Taylor getting himself and Gracey and Dahlheimer into some shady business dealings where they lost a lot of money and got into tremendous debt. Those 3 aren't talking to each other and sold majority share of the band to Ed.

[@ParasitikOne]

I know the touring guitarist Zak… Followed bands he has been in since around 1997/98 ish and even helped him haiul gear from the van into a few venues and had beers at his house when he was in a band with his brother in Austin. Great guitarist.

[@stephanie3230]

Man, I loved this band. I should dig out my cds.

[@waynecanning4122]

Every song on this album is fantastic!

[@jimmuratori7458]

Thanks so much for playing the one. It is very close to my heart. It came out a few months before my son was born. Never forget going home from the hospital the night he was born, I cranked this bad boy good and loud. I still get goose bumps when I hear it almost 28 years later.

[@trentbosman5626]

Loved this band in the 90s. My twin sister and unborn son died in 2007 and for some reason I'm crying right now

[@shawnburkhart3463]

One of my faves! My dad introduced me to this song when I was young and I’ve loved it ever since 😊

[@ShannonR1969]

If you'll notice, the structure of the song mimics childbirth. It starts off soft, gradually builds and strengthens, becomes very hard and fast, plateaus, and then just stops. This song and "This Woman's Work" are both fabulous songs that are (at least partially) about childbirth. "I can feel it coming back again, like a roll of thunder chasing the wind. Forces pulling from the center of the earth again. I can feel it." You should DEFINITELY listen to their "I Alone" next! Total banger!

[@johnplaysgames3120]

I know others here have already mentioned that the "new mother" doesn't die in childbirth, it's the "old mother" -- an older lady, presumably unrelated -- who dies in another hospital room down the hall at the same moment the baby is being born to the "new mother" and that the song is more about reincarnation or the continuance of life. I'll just add that the singer of the band, Ed Kowalczyk, has a spiritual side that you can hear coming through in many of his lyrics and which adds a depth to Live's songs that I've always appreciated. A couple other Live songs that I think you two will really like are "I Alone" (which, iirc, was their first big hit) and "Dolphins Cry" (which was also huge at the time). Both are more rockin' than this relatively ballad-y song while still retaining that extra depth. I predict you will very much like both.

[@RamblingRose08]

Love this song. I have always loved his voice. This has been one of my favorite songs since I heard it for the first time in high school. I bought the cd immediately.

[@passerby107]

I had the same reaction Amber had. This song came out in 94 and my son was born in 95. I remember hearing this song in my car and it took me right back to the day he was born. It was like I was reliving that beautiful day all over again. I haven't heard it in a while but when I watched this reaction video it all came flooding back. Brought a joyful tear to my eye. Thanks guys, God Bless!

[@lorilemley5348]

“I Alone” and “All Over You” were also great songs off this album-Throwing Copper but “Lightning Crashes “ still gives me chills!

[@crazyjay2101]

One of my all time favorites. My cousin turned me on this group when he bought the cassette. Throwing copper is amazing. The lyrics about the blue eyes was a dedication to their friend who died in a car accident. When my grandmother passed away I listened to this song nonstop.

[@Rob_Squad__]

I have a Price for you dm me on Telegram ..🔝🔝

[@jrtruth2426]

One of my favorite songs by Live is "The Beauty of Grey", it's really good.

[@jeffjones6221]

Shit town is another live tune that's pretty killer

[@TheTish]

An absolutely beautiful song. LIVE has some stunning lyrics and imagery.

[@Jstn044]

This song is perfection. This is an essential 90s song.

[@bustertn2014]

One of the deepest songs that was EVER played on the radio as a rock/alternative hit.

[@albertrodela8541]

Saw this band live for the first time and it was awesome

[@swinglow33]

Ed Kowalczyk has one of those voices that makes you feel the emotions in song. He’s done a few solo albums in his absence from Live.

[@thelunatick1993]

In last year or two heard a song not Live. Getting radio airplay. had the sound and vocal sound of Live. But not them. Wondering who that was?.

[@yamuda]

Lakani's Juice, Selling the Drama, Dolphin's Cry, I Alone, and Run to The Water are all incredible songs by Live

[@rogerschmidt6974]

Used to hear this song a lot while I was driving but never heard the name of the artists. I'm 67 and never cared much for 90's style music But THIS SONG will always be one of my favorites. The singers voice somehow reaches deeply into my soul. Thanks for the reaction

[@emergentartistsgroupllc1810]

The entire Throwing Copper album is one of my all-time favs. Next from this band you could try the songs "Selling The Drama," "I Alone," and "All Over You." Also their song "Operation Spirit" from a previous album is great too.

[@edallen3662]

Two of their songs you have to add to your list the first one is called all over you and the second one is called I alone there's excellent live footage available for both songs

[@nicoleduke7883]

This takes me back to my high school years, where I would listen to this song and the record every single morning as I got ready for school. Absolutely LOVE the band! It is Live, as in I'm A-Live. There is a crucial part you missed though, it wasn't the new mother who passed, it was the Old Mother...it's about the cycle of life and death, and every time a new baby is born some other family looses their mother. The cycle of birth and death goes on though.

[@WillM1961]

You’ll love “Dolphin’s Cry” and “Overcome”!

[@bryanrains1]

Whole album is great. “I Alone” is really good as well.

[@TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

I am so thrilled you're delving into the world of 90's Alternative Rock! There's so many bands and singers to introduce you to. In my humble opinion, the music videos of the mid 90's were some of the most iconic ever made. In no particular order, some to definitely consider are: Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun Fiona Apple - Criminal No Doubt - Spiderwebs Green Day - Basket Case Hole - Celebrity Skin Red Hot Chili Peppers - Aeroplane Bjork - Oh So Quiet Marilyn Manson - The Beautiful People Smashing Pumpkins - 1979

[@johnplaysgames3120]

A number of good songs here but I'd like to toss in another vote especially for Fiona Apple's "Criminal." Not only is it a great song from a great songwriter but I think Jay will LOVE the piano groove and the cadence of the lyrics. And I would add to the list (if I may) Fiona's "Fast As You Can."

[@mcallister370]

Great list! Add one of my fav bands "Our Lady Peace" (late 90s) Superman's Dead or Innocent

[@metalsonic971]

Fiona, yes! ❤ all her albums are great.

[@kidlenny1964]

I loved the look on your face when he hit “the angel closes her eyes”….believe me dude it still makes me do that after almost 30 years

[@robertyrigoyen2510]

Their first (minor) hit was Pain Lies by the Riverside, off their first album. You will love it! The instruments, vocals and lyrics are amazing.
