[alvinpatacsil]

I just got 'time warped' back in '95. Throwing Copper is probably the second best album of the nineties after Nirvana's Nevermind. I was on my fresman year then in college. Thanks for the post.

@Shar3735 Ever heard of typos? It could have been a mistake.

1:32 gives me chills...omg....

[Jcmaroon92]

Beautifully written song...it's so hauntingly good...and the vocals,man oh man....

[ZebraDuckyz]

My Grandmother died of cancer and My Mom Played this at her funeral :'( everytime i hear this song.. It makes me feel like she is watching over me wherever she may be. I love and Miss you Nana.

[Shar3735]

@ZebraDuckyz That's a beautiful song, sorry to hear of your Grandmothers passing, cancer is such a horrible disease, I lost my Grandfather to cancer, God bless them both as they are not suffering anymore, which is the most horrific thing to see someone you love go through that. xoxo

1:32, yeeeeeee

[wendym1234]

(wikipedia) 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

[texlokman]

Good cover, but don't play music to impress people. Make your music, put your heart and soul in it, and people will think what they think. Look at those people that never listen to country, but put it down. Those people that hate screaming death metal or rap, and say acoustic music is the best... I say they're all mental midgets. Your mother and father are proud because they support you; play a song that makes a statement; and chicks come and go, screw 'em all, figure out who's the best later.

[hisforhatred]

@texlokman It's not a cover you dumb cunt. It's the proper thing

[texlokman]

@hisforhatred Dumb cunt? Wow. Now I'm not so sure your parents are proud, and I wouldn't blame them for not supporting your dumb ass. I see now why you have to resort covering someone's writing, if that's the best you can come up with. Good luck, you'll need it. Life is tough, but its gets tougher when you're stupid.

[hisforhatred]

@texlokman How am I covering someone elses writing? You're quite obviously too stupid to recognise a proper acoustic version of a song. Life must be tough for you

[texlokman]

@hisforhatred Did you write the song? Do you own the song? Do you own the music? If you do, then it isn't a cover. If the song was written by someone else, then it's a cover.

[hisforhatred]

@texlokman What I'm angling at is that this song isn't a cover. It's the guy from live singing it. Not some random person. Moron

[jbard80]

@texlokman Stop using...This is an accoustic version, not a cover...

[austyn1810]

Dfhvggvggydjfrzvyjmklkmxb

[Matheus222]

@DropkickTheDinosaur And those reasons will make you fail in making this a good cover. You should have one big reason and the other reasons after it; Reason one: Because your heart needs it.

[Azarel1812]

Such a sad song, the fact that its based on true events is just heart wrenching

[JDog70560]

What a GREAT song!! Man, I love this song.

[Thephobia21]

u can feel the build up of emotion and it says contained but you want with all ur might to let it free

[Happycats218]

@gweston11: Obviously, YOU don't know what the song is about! For centuries women have birthed babies standing up allowing gravity to help the delivery. There is even a modern day delivery chair for this very reason. In the standing position, a placenta would deliver anywhere from two to twenty five minutes after birth. At the time the baby in the song is born, the old lady dies. Lightning is used in many Buddhist allegories. Before you grab your keyboard looking to strut how smart you are, ch

[Happycats218]

First of all, it is a great song. Second of all it is a song about the circle of life.

[Scrawty]

@DropkickTheDinosaur yeah girls like the thougt of placinta's falling to the floor



[WatchThisBeat]

Gives me chills too.. Def changed my life for the better! Great Tune

[JodiSherwood]

gave me chills!

[ChunderThunder1]

both top comments have 99 thumbs up -- nows my chance to make it epic!

[bnofreeride]

you people are nuts lol, it's a good song let people enjoy as they want, with remembering what they want

[tlallz93]

@DropkickTheDinosaur You go buddy. Im sure you will kick ass.

[seamusxxx]

I stumbled upon your rendition of this song and I don't make a habit of making comments but I feel I must do this time as you have nailed it. It's good to dedicate it to your mum and dad for loving the song but they will love you even more for the obvious talent! p.s. good luck with the girl :)

[hisforhatred]

@seamusxxx It's not his rendition of the song you fucken idiot. This is the real deal. He said he's practicing it to impress some slut he wants to fingerbang..

[amagedon58]

@hisforhatred the mentally defective commented, thanks, next time shut up, or shot yourself is good too. thanks

[MrRedbird5]

i listen to this song over iand over for 15 years now this song i rocked my childed in my arms every night he would fall asleep like a angel. dedicated to nicholas t robinson 1/30/96

[quarternelson12]

maaahhh nigga

[2150woodsman]

NOBODY KNOWS WHERE MY ROSEMARY GROWS...

[applesbeenhere]

Gweston, the song is about a hospital. In one room a birth and in another a lady dying. It's sad and beautiful and a powerful song.

[gweston11]

Obviously y'all don't get what the dong is about! She had a miscarriage! Retards!!

[zacksyoutobe]

@gweston11 No, shut the fuck up if you don't know.

[CommanderChaos24]

This is an amazing version of this song

[austinthebookworm5]

Melbourne High School is singing this (mass singing)

[superhettie]

Such a beautiful and touching song! ♥♥♥♥

[geoffreyleebronx]

The lead singer of Live,looks a bit like Wally of eat bulaga,what u think? lol

[snapperjohn1000]

ok i dont understand, because i dont know if this is a cover or the real artist doing this song and if it is your cover ,man it is out standing ,very,very good,and as far as all the trivial comments about the video, who cares . This is about the music and the artist ,so grow up children and take your frustrations out on something worth while ,like doing something constructive to change the system through education and social reform.

[Ro88Jo]

@DropkickTheDinosaur I like your reasons! Do the best you can mate

[apple1312ster]

I truly adore this song !Love- Vanne

[brockr1976]

liked this song... but reading your comments makes me not like it due to the statements posted to it, and what you all said! Lets me know who listens to it and those that wanna talk shit! shut ur mouth if your speaking cons! Pro people and personal comment peeps! keep on! if ya dont like it.... dont comment or why are ya even here if ya dont like it!! KICK ROCKS "CLOWNS"!

[ferryadoe]

this song dedicated to my friend Rob's Henri.....♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫...

[DareCrystalwater]

@anime863 You're right about the song being about life and death, but I'm pretty sure that person giving birth is a different person than the one dying. A life is taken while a life is given... The circle of life.

[lildeftones]

i dnt understand y people hate this song....it is a gud song....but sad....there is absolutely nuthing to hate about it...

[betterthanyoufoo]

If you don't like the song, don't look it up. Ignorant idiots. Use you're brain and keep away because us who like the song wish you'd stay away so bye-bye. :)

[tchii79]

title fake

[UTcheeseburger]

@anime863 look at the comment below mine, by MsBeba1010. I'm "bashing" that person, for sounding like they're about 14, and complaining about there only being one picture, so chill the fuck out. And technically you should take your own advice, since you just commented "bad shit" about me. Pot, meet kettle.

[zacksyoutobe]

@UTcheeseburger I'm drunk so i didnt understand that, but yeah, this is a ggod song so piss off imature little bitches

[warmaker911]

@DropkickTheDinosaur u'll get it soon.keep at it.It's a very simple song to play

[UTcheeseburger]

Let me say these are the reasons I hate this song.

1) it's just a picture of lightning. Really? That has nothing to do with the song.

2) this song is awful. It's the worst song I've ever heard in my entire 14 year span of life

3) once again there's just one picture. Why can't there be like a million pictures? More pictures means less boaring

4) thsi iss teh moest bouring theeng evar.

5) like seriously, like who would choose this song? I'm not sure what you'd choose this for, but who wou

[zacksyoutobe]

@UTcheeseburger STFU biatch

[MsBeba1010]

let me just say something these are 5 reasons i hate this vid

(1)it only shows one picture

(2)i hate this song

(3)its just a picture why cant it be 18 or 20 pics

(4)this is the most bouring thing ever

(5)who would choose this song

those are my 5 reasons why i hate this video

[AdamRuthless1989]

@MsBeba1010 Well all these reasons can be avoided by not even watching.. ever thought of that?

[ttoto0328]

@quickknock HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!­!!!!!! Funniest shit comment of the week!!!! Touché!

[GunValkyre]

@quickknock lmfao, trolled.

[lozerluvsummer]

@quickknock who the fuck are you?

[quickknock]

@lozerluvsummer Errr, who the fuck are you?

[lorianneliz]

@quickknock you're an asshole

[hisforhatred]

@lorianneliz Suck my nuts you slut

[treblejunkie]

@quickknock : Right fukin' on.

[tgomorgan]

@quickknock Shame on you.

[quickknock]

@tgomorgan You'd score a downie if you could. Unfortunately for you, you cant.

[hisforhatred]

@DropkickTheDinosaur You should at least get to fingerbang her if you play it well

[tgomorgan]

@hisforhatred shame on you,

[tgomorgan]

Pigs

[tributeforlife]

@DropkickTheDinosaur You know how i know you are full of shit? your post saying you want to impress a girl 7 months ago to now saying you are playing it for your girlfriend that you have been with for 8 motnsh

[firetread]

@DropkickTheDinosaur how did it work out with the girl?

[RJ8812]

[Daytonaman675]

[Topherg0453]

Me - mom quick i need the keys!

Mom- wait what? why?

Me- i need to kill 18 people!

Mom- WHAT! why for what?

Me- they dislike lightning crashes by live

Mom- ......ill get the keys

[iqentab]

@DropkickTheDinosaur Brother, I doubt this girl is worth it. You shouldn't ever feel the need to impress a girl or "win her over." If she's someone who works well with you, it feels natural to talk/hang around her. She's not "out of your league." You're out of hers. =)

[keIseLpoTxz]

@DropkickTheDinosaur you go BOY!!!!!!!! hehe

[ezioowns]

@DropkickTheDinosaur you should also try to learn just breathe by pearl jam thats how i got my girlfriend mann

[Butterf1ingers]

[dbeater1]

ya know i am sure i've heard the non acoustic version ..many times but today while just cleaning the car this came on the radio..and i just stopped the lyrics are so sad ..yet rejoycing at the same time.The so different story of two mothers is heart wrenching. It is such a well written thought provoking lyrics as to make the listener well up at the vision they create..man i love this song

[seanathen123456789]

@DropkickTheDinosaur classic dude, best of luck my brother

[SuperPimpking69]

[isaackidd69]

This song Rocks.This song whats me too go on a mountain On a cliff when the wind is blowing And my arms is out like a cross.This song whats me to cry because of The people that died in my family.

[isaackidd69]

This Rocks.This song whats me to Go up on a Mountain On a Cliff with the wind Blowing And having my Arms like a cross.This song wants me to cry.If people say this song sucks.U dont know what your messin.

[tones7mca]

I was at a party many years ago, everyone was just chatting away to each other, relaxing and putting the world to rights. At some point, no one really registered it, but my friend started to play and sing this on the guitar, the whole room stopped, it was like a moment frozen in time, everyone just appreciating this song and the acoustic magic and passion our friend was gifting to us. Increadible song, whoever sings it.

[becca18148]

truely beautiful. <3

[shesgonewiththesin]

acoustic really makes this even more heartfelt

[18HRLM]

5 mei Bevrijdingspop Haarlem The Netherlands !! he's going to play this( i hope so) !:D

[MysticMoonGoddess67]

[AwesomePCP]

I seen these guys in Toronto Live!!!! AMAZING f'n show!!!!

[tj4082]

me and my dads fav song brings back realy good memories with me and him

[stardaddyo9]

i rarely rate a song as a masterpeice. this is one.

[Nihilianth]

@stardaddyo9

Everything Live does is a masterpeice. lol.

[TheLivieGirl]

this. song. is. amazing.

& iv e got nothing else to say :)

[LeonPhythian69]

it reminds me of the first women I truly had the misfortune to love with all my soul......love it!

[keepnfaith44]

This song brings back such great memories, I really did not know this band or song, but late one night after a softball game at the bar that sponsored us it came on, so i went to jukebox to see what it was and found it was by this band named live. After that it was kinda of a ritual for last 2-3 guys still hanging out and drinking to play this song before we left. Good times w/ Good Friends!

[Disadvantage213]

This songs just so damn peacful, the lyrics are so calm and, so beautiful, there are no words for it, its just there. this songs so calming. its almost like time stops.

[snellashley]

@Disadvantage213

wow...you totally hit the nail on the head.

[cubfan96]

i couldnt agree with you more

[IYeahbuddy]

@Disadvantage213

I couldn't have said it any better!!

[GHWildcat]

@Disadvantage213 No shit man. If anyone is in a bad mood, just listen to this song. Why would anyone ever do drugs when they could just listen to this song?

[EternalSage07]

@Disadvantage213 Agreed, but it's got such raw emotion that it gets my pulse going without the need for anything other than the words. It doesn't feel overly done with background music that makes or breaks the song, or annoyingly catchy lyrics as a lot of songs seem to gravitate toward these days. Like you, I just don't know how to describe it exactly. It's very passionate, beautiful and original song.

Also, it was one of the earliest tunes I listened to as a kid so it fills me with nostalgia.

[Topherg0453]

@Disadvantage213 it is a very peaceful song, but its a very very sad song at that if you read the lyrics

[rickybarningham]

im more cuaght up in the beauty of the picture of the road and the lightening

[SierraDawnSmith]

beautiful song!!

[MrDazcuz]

I think most of us will agree, we all have that one or two songs that travel with us for most of our lives, a song so strong and meaningful that it will be our last song that we won't hear, because our Friends & Loved ones will be celebrating who we where and what we stood for by playing it one last time for Us, as we slip to our farewell in the Beyond.This one is the song for me..!..

[igocomando]

It's true chuck Norris cries when he listens to live  : )

[juansdiazo]

WoW! great version

In the loving memory of Barbara Lewis

[antigeekess]

Thanks for uploading this. Would love to know where it came from. Live radio show performance?

[guusbeer]

Thanks to the uploader!

Live makes Chuck Norris cry. ROFL

where'd you find this acoustic version of the song at?

[Toca9]

this is from mtv unplugged

[jas05281978]

wow..live makes robzombie cry hehehe lolz...

[aavelar]

Rob Zombie is a very sensitive person!!! LOL

[robzombie121212]

this song makes me cry i love this song

[atum2428]

show!

[smiddleton000]

Tabs show EADGBE using E, B & F# and the chorus as G#m & F#. But E flat (b) sounds more like what Live uses on the CD itself. Using the chords F, C & G and the chorus Am & G. I don't know if your familiar with detuning or not, but I just tune my low e to my the A, then retune all the strings using the fretboard. When your finished you should be Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb... Try it and see... And sorry if I confused anybody.

[samin101]

this song is a bit sadish

[smiddleton000]

Yeah, it's a classical guitar (nylon string) tuned down to a E flat. It's actually a work of art... Not out of tune at all..

[drpepper4413]

is e flat the normal tuning for this song?

[Fr3tsOnFir3]

yes

[fonzychickoon]

tight song, if by tight you mean gay as hell lmao

[friidajo]

am i the onley one to think he got a voice like robert pattinson?

[FightEndsWithTapout]

Get that twilight shit out of here.

[err135]

Urgh the guitar is out of tune can't listen to it
