Live - "Lightning Crashes": Life, death, and rebirth

submitted by kronosposeidon

1 decade 6 years 8 months 4 weeks ago

A great song from a great album. From Wikipedia:
"The band dedicated the song to Barbara Lewis, a friend of the band who had been killed by a drunk driver who was fleeing from the police after a robbery. Barbara had many of her organs donated, and the song lyrics reflect how her death enabled others to continue living. After the 1999 Columbine High School massacre, Ed Kowalczyk would frequently dedicate the song to the victims at live shows.

Soon after the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995, a local radio station mixed in news clippings, audio clips of U.S. President Bill Clinton and Governor of Oklahoma Frank Keating responding to the attack, along with other sounds (such as ambulance and fire engine sirens) of that day."

S'not working for me and my firefox. Just a big black rectangle, which represents void, nothingness, and peace. So I voted for that.
I also really like that song, but it was the big black rectangle that really got me.

[Krupo withholds juvenile urge to put this in the livemusic channel. ]
