I Live (/laɪv/, spesso scritto anche LĪVE oppure +LĪVE+) sono un gruppo alternative rock statunitense formatosi a fine anni ottanta a York nella Pennsylvania, da Ed Kowalczyk (voce, chitarra), Chad Taylor (chitarra, cori), Patrick Dahlheimer (basso) e Chad Gracey (batteria).Ĭon i loro testi molto idealistici e spirituali, che in più occasioni li hanno portati al paragone con gli U2, possono vantare quattro dischi di platino ( Mental Jewelry, Throwing Copper, Secret Samadhi e The Distance to Here), più vari singoli nei primi posti delle classifiche. Kowalczyk rejoined the band in December 2016. However, Live continued with singer Chris Shinn and released the album The Turn in October 2014. An acrimonious split soon occurred, with Kowalczyk leaving the band. On November 30, 2009, Taylor revealed that what had initially been termed a two-year hiatus was more likely the end of the band. When touring, Live has used additional musicians, including Ed Kowalczyk's younger brother Adam, British keyboardist Michael "Railo" Railton and rhythm guitarist Christopher Thorn of Blind Melon. The band had a string of hit singles in the mid-1990s including "Lightning Crashes", which stayed at the top of the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for 10 consecutive weeks and the Modern Rock Tracks (now Alternative Songs) chart for nine weeks from February 25 to April 22, 1995.

What you're seeing is actually a happy ending based on a kind of transference of life. Nobody's dying in the act of childbirth, as some viewers think. 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.
