There were scenes that took place in a hospital. The scene was very sad and emotional especially during the scenes where the whole band is there singing the song. The video starts off with what seems to be someone’s home. I started to watch the music video for thesong, but I only got through less than half of it because the video really scared me. Even though Babara herself is not alive anymore, parts of her still are and she still lives on. Babara Lewis donated many of her organs including her heart to many different people. Babara Lewis’ brother in law used the song to kind of describe Barbara Lewis’ situation, that even though she is no longer alive, she still lives on. Live dedicated Lightning Crashes to a woman named Barbara Lewis, who was a friend of the band in high school that died in a car crash. Lives are lost but new ones are also forming every day and life goes on.
The ending lyrics are “presents the circle and puts the glory out to hide,” I am not exactly sure what to interpret with the “puts the glory out to hide,” but I really believe that the song is all about the circle of life. After I read the lyrics I realized that the song was about the circle of life. The lyrics say that an “angel opens her eyes,” which I am guessing is a new born, and then it says that “an old mother dies,” which I took as someone who lost their life due to old age. I think the song is written to show that life goes on no matter what happens.
The lyrics kind of does mention things associated with miscarriage like a placenta falling, but that is not what the song is all about. After some research I realized that I was kind of right and kind of wrong.
( )įrom my first listening of this song, I had the idea that the song was talking about a mother’s miscarriage. It hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay music back in 1995, the song also topped the Billboard Album Rock tracks and Hot modern rock tracks. Lightning Crashes became one of Live’s most popular songs. I really enjoyed listening to Lightning Crashes because it has a much softer sound throughout the song.
