Lightning Crashes is +Live+'s ultimate song. It's the one everyone knows them by, as "the group that sings Lightning Crashes." In ninth grade, I had a report on the song (analizing it as poetry) and I realized then how melancholic the song is, but there's also a spec of hope in the words. If you look in the Throwing Copper CD jacket, you'll see "Barbara Lewis (1973-1993)" there. She was a good friend of the band, but when they went to look her up one day, they learned she had been killed in a car accident. The version of Lightning Crashes before this dedication is much faster and now it is in memory of a beloved lost friend. |
| 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 center of the earth again I can feel it I can feel it I can 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 I can 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 I can 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 I can feel it I can feel it |
