    My husband loved this song. We used to take a yearly vacation on a houseboat with friends. The last vacation, he played this album/song over and over for 7 days. We were ready to steal it from him. He died a sudden and unexpected death at the age of 40. It took me YEARS to listen to it without crying. I no longer cry when I hear it. I now see him with that beer in his hand, in his wakeboard shorts, standing on the roof of that houseboat, living and LOVING his life and all that was surrounding him. Though his life was short, he probably lived more in those 40 years than most people do in a lifetime. And THAT is what immediately comes to mind when I hear this song.......along with a huge smile on my face and with so much gratitude that he was in my life. He was one hell of a good human being and I say that not because I was his wife. I say it because the world lost a very good soul the day he died. As I sit here and listen to it now, it occurs to me how much this song applies to my story. The circle of life....One dies and another is born. I hold on to the fact that when he took his last breath, he knew how very much he was loved. I wish that for everyone. Thank you for allowing me to share this most treasured memory.

      I truly believe in prayer darlin'...I will pray for you and please consider doing the same. He hears every prayer said and answers us too. But he'll only give us what we may need at that point in time. We all have a purpose and you are unique and special to God and all that know you. I can even feel your sadness and I've never met you. But I felt the need to reply. I just go with the flow. Life is so much easier when we don't fight it. And believe me...I've fought it for a very long time. I find the older I get, the more wisdom I have and you start to see the precious people and moments together for what they are worth. Priceless. Life is a gift and I don't intend on wasting it on negative people anymore than I already have. I don't know your age but I can assure you that thru ALL your life's experiences...whether good or bad...that someday you'll just "get it". Everything will fall into place..I promise you. God's blessings darlin '..remember that Jesus loves you too. HEY...with him on our side..how can we go wrong?! I take comfort in this..stay in the light, my friend, and know that someone in Connecticut is praying for you. 😊

      Sorry for your loss man. My brother in law passed away 2 years ago. He helped spark my interest in small engines. I have been building faster and faster fourwheelers since. Aiming to make state record on fastest fourwheeler. A lot of money but it’s for him. He’d be happy to see where I am because of him and what I’d do to spend one more night in that garage with him talking motors is more than anyone can understand. He wasn’t blood but he was my brother. My sister isn’t the greatest person but she happened to get the best man in the world and made him my brother. Rest in peace D.M I’ll meet you on the other side some day brother and we’re gonna sit back in that garage and have a beer.

    I still remember the first time that I heard this on the radio, and I was blown away. The sound was so unique, and the lyrics really stood out. It's really a masterpiece of a song. Still sounds as great in 2023 as it did back in the 90s.

In a strange way it healed me. There is a circle of life and for me God has a plan and a reason for everything.

      I took it to a different place. For me, it doesn't focus on death to life only, instead it's about change from old to new. When the lightning crashes, a New Beginning starts. I'll replay when a change happens in my life, loudly and usually as a celebration of the change, a reminder of what was and will be, a recharge into the new, better. Many of us wish when we die, a start of a new beginning. We can die from more than our bodies going still. Always a New Beginning, when Lightning Crashes. Make it crash!

    The 90's was just a great time for music. Just an explosion of talent. So much honesty and emotion in a lot of the music. So many artists did it because they had something they needed to express instead of trying to write a cool song to make a buck. That emotion is the difference between good music and bad music.

      It's about the karmic cycle of reincarnation... Which is a biblical concept as well... Don't shoot the messenger... The spirit/soul left the old woman's body, called giving up the ghost, and bc she hadn't fufilled her karma her soul and the spirit ( manifesting as the androgynous angel ) were forced to enter the newborn babies body. This would be like a purgatory scenario. If it inspired that emotion inside of you, I would say your spirit is telling you something more profound than you realize. I cry everytime I listen. It's a blurry memory, but I know I'm paying for past karma. Father is leading His children home in these final hours. Arise from your slumber and follow the spirit home 🙏🏽. I hope to see you there. Safe travels

Its too bad that kind of rock gets very little to no exposure anymore. The only reason I know about Alter Bridge is because of Eddie Trunk's radio show which is only on Friday nights really late at night. Alter Bridge definitely blew my mind last year when I first heard their music. They might be the best modern rock band out there right now at the moment.

    My husband and I got to see Live at the Beale Street Music Fest in Memphis several years ago. Storms were forecasted that night, but the rain, thunder and lightning held off until they finished their set. They were actually told that they needed to leave the stage, but they insisted on singing one last song and this was the song. As soon as they began to sing, it started to sprinkle. By the time they reached the chorus, it was pouring down rain and lightning was crashing all around us. Tom Lee Park was quickly emptying out and the other performers had already packed up, but Live was determined to finish the song, and hardly anyone dared to miss it. It was an amazing experience.

      +Rob Glen You are right in all aspects Sir Glen. One guitar starts sounds like a phase shifter, 2nd guitar comes in with what souds like a flanger, then the bass comes in with the drums then the guitars go into distortion mode at the same time as a the harmony comes in and crescendo which is a graduate increase of intensity, kicks it to the end. And yeah, the song seems to sound like a mother giving birth and the mother dies and the child lives, circle of life. But that is not what it is about. It is closer to me. They, especially Ed who wrote the song, had a high school friend who was killed by a drunk driver. My love was killed by a drunk driver. The new life that is talked about is because their friend Barbara donated all her organs etc... which would help with new life and save others. It is an intense song because of the feel of it and the increase power it has. This is just my opinion, just a dumb musician myself. Check out some of my songs if you want. Go to my Facebook page, under More/Videos and you can hear my music. Does not compare to Live, but I am not shabby either. ED KOWALCZYK is a deep thinker when it comes to lyrics and meanings.

    Lead singer Ed Kowalczyk said, "I wrote 'Lightning Crashes' on an acoustic guitar in my brother's bedroom shortly before I had moved out of my parents' house and gotten my first place of my own." Kowalczyk says that the video for "Lightning Crashes" has caused misinterpretations of the song's intent.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.[5]

      My brother lost his mind due to street drug use and mental illness, killed his best friend, then committed suicide in 1996. I was 20. He was 22. I'm in my 40s now. The family of the young man killed by my brother knew my brother was not in his right mind and showed grace toward my family even in their grief. My mom cried for days.
      A mom losing a child is about the deepest depth of human grief a human can experience, according to my psychologist years after my brother's death.
      This song Lightning Crashes reminds me of my brother. I don't remember why exactly. I think one reason is he just liked this band called Live.
      Another commonality between my story and yours is my brother had diabetes.
      He would sometimes go into diabetic shock when he was younger when his blood sugar would get messed up. He hated having to stab his leg with an insulin needle every day. And he hated pricking his fingers to test his blood sugar.
      I can't imagine your daughter's grief of finding out her unborn child is dead before birth. All that time waiting and planning and dreaming for your soon to be born child and having the dreams for the child's future ripped away and a hole cut through your heart at the end. I'm so so sorry. My sincere condolences for the mom and family of this lost child.
      I hope this comment does no harm and only let's you know other folks hate this happened to you and especially to your daughter. We wish nothing but joy and hope and comfort for the future.
      I worry that when life gets that dark, the folks who are grieving may not want to hear about God. But I just want you to know my hope is that God will turn these unspeakably dark circumstances in your daughter's life and in your life into something beautiful one day, even if it's just letting those who are suffering know they are not alone, and that you have suffered too, and that you made it through by God's grace.

    This is one of those songs I've heard countless times throughout my entire life that has only gotten better and better as I get older. It'll probably be with me in some capacity until I pass away, definitely one of the best songs written regardless of genre.

    I had a stillborn baby in 1995, the same year this song became super popular. I always felt like it was written and sang for me...

      I thought this song was about abortion. But I could see and hear could be about stillborn. It's still deep.

      I always loved this song... My son was born oct 29, 2009, my mom got to see him born... June 28, 2010 my mom passed from stage 4 lung cancer at the age of 50... This song has true meaning for me now... So I understand... Truly sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine that kind of heartache. ♥️♥️

    "I can feel it" is one of the greatest lines in rock music: the delivery is brimming with genuine emotion.

    • @GammaSierra
      @GammaSierra Рік тому +9

      It's that genuine emotion that really makes a song something special. I still get overwhelmed with empathy when I hear "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park. When Chester gets to "You try to take the best of me. Go away!", he screams into that mic like the those who hurt him in the past are standing right in front of him. Such an amazing person we lost.

    67 years and 35 days ago I was born into this insanity called life. I've shed many tears and about a million smiles and I have only one regret. I didn't listen to enough music when I was young. Always too busy to just LISTEN. That's my advice. Don't let it all go by in the background, because it's gone before you know it. I just finished radiation treatments for lung cancer, just a small thing with no spreading or anything, but it was a serious wake up call. Stop what you're doing an turn the music up! And I see over to the right here is Mazzy Star's Fade Into You. I'll be there if anyone asks...
