![]() She's too tired to even care, until the pain comes-and it will come. Actually, Throwing Copper is probably my favorite album of all time.Ī place where she used to lie awake at night, wishing he would just go ahead and kill her because she was just too tired to do it herself. The song Pillar of Davidson is also quite dramatic and. Lightning Crashes is potent, and dreamy, so good, I love it. it was so achingly beautiful.Īny way, my point is. It's right up there with the time a friend of mine played piano and sang My Skin by Natalie Merchant at school on her birthday. I actually cried when I saw the performance. I think this was quite the experience for me, really, I'm never ever going to touch heroin so long as I live. As he injects the heroin into his vein (in what I would assume to be an extremely accurate portrayal of an addict), the song gets louder, etc, etc to the part where he actually dies and the song hits its climax, then slowly levels out and eventually ends. lightning crashes starts to play quietly in the background. he records a message for his parents before he kills himself, and as he records it. There was a lot that built up to the end of it, but what happens is he reaches a stage where the heroin has taken control of his life to the point where he doesn't want to go on living. they had a skit which involved a young man, and his family, and of course, a heroin addiction. One portion dealt with heroin and the things it does to the people who use it. now regardless of my stance on drug use, I liked the presentation. When I was in highschool, we had a presentation of sorts from a group of really talented young actors speaking out against drugs. It's probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written, in my opinion, one of the most thought provoking, inspiring pieces of music to ever grace my ears. Lightning Crashes is a song about life, death, the passing on of something old and the creation of something new. I don't intend to document the lyrics here, I do intend to mention something I once saw while in highschool, probably the only thing useful I walked out of there with. anyone remember that.A song by the band " LIVE". funny thing about this song though, I think the radio powers of censorship decided "placenta" was a bad word,and after this song gained in popularity I recall the offensive word being struck from the radio version.
