About 2 Meter Sessions
====================
Based in the Netherlands, 2 Meter Sessions is an independent, ongoing (new) music platform with a great legacy. Monthly we film 3 to 4 sessions with promising and breakthrough acts from all over the world.
Many well-known acts have visited the show; from James Taylor, Elliott Smith and David Crosby to Damien Jurado, Ben Howard and Josh Ritter, via Radiohead, Nirvana, Coldplay and Foo Fighters. Archive footage can regularly be seen in (theatrical) documentary movies, like “Mystify: Michael Hutchence” (with footage of our session with INXS, filmed in 1997), “Heaven Adores You” (with footage of our session with Elliott Smith, filmed in 1998) and “All I Can Say” (with footage of our session with Blind Melon, filmed in 1993).
The show started back in 1987 by radio presenter Jan Douwe Kroeske. On his popular national radio show he persuaded New-Zeeland band Crowded House to play a couple of songs. The response of the public was so great, that 2 Meter Sessions quickly became a household name. In 1993, the show made a successful transition to national television. From there the show became a national phenomenon, for over 10 years, with filmed sessions of new talent, breakthrough acts and arrived career artists. Almost a million of 2 Meter Sessions cd’s were sold in the Netherlands.

It's funny how I bump into this song, one hour after leaving the hospital where my children were born, to say a last goodbye to my dying neighbour. Godspeed, Barbara.
im 29 my son is 4 and i hear him singing "like a rollin thunder chasing the wind" i win as a parent. thanks dad for introducing me to such a masterpiece
One of the best rock vocalists of the 90’s. Live was a truly underrated band.
THROWING COPPER IS AN ABSOLUTE TIMELESS MASTERPIECE
Still are
They’re still around.
Live were not underrated. They have also sold over 20 millions albums.
I agree 💯💯💯💯💯
I saw them in 1995... front row center... they were singing from a couch set up in the middle of the stage. It was simply amazing! An incredible experience!!!
Ed is such an excellent musician, absolutely top voice and top songwriter, deserves more cred amongst the other 90's legends
Great song. Great band. Great memories.
Hi I recommend a song and video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
Wow, quiet and calm voice and then without warning it takes over the most powerful thing I have seen. And he doesn't even have to force it.
I really had no idea that he could sing with such vocals and vocal control and range 😍 pretty damn awesome
Then you've obviously never listened to him sing before! Welcome to this band and enjoy it!!
They over do this on the radio, great album for sure. Long live Live
A true masterpiece...

@@redskies4530 Thnx but not my kind of music...😅
This performance is the definition of singing
This film is a treasure.
It's funny how the volume drops at 2:54 until it goes back up at 3:14...I think that happens in the studio version - which I always wondered about - but it happens in this live version too. They must have a purpose for it.
This piece moves me in ways I don't fully understand. I really love !
probably the best version of this song
One of the very few songs that gets me in tears. Within 20 secs.
Man, Chad Gracey is such a good drummer. This band is eternal for me (pre V), but CG's fill-ins and beats are just a notch above.
This performance is out of this world! Amazing!
17 when I heard this the first time, now 45, still spectacular touching song. Where did time go?
28 and now 57. It takes me back to a difficult time, yet this song came along like a beacon of light, that showed good things were still possible if such a song could be made.
There’s so much compression in his voice, it’s as if there’s three people on the mic 😮
this whole album is a masterpiece
My brother showed me this song back in the late 90s and this has stuck with me ever since. I took up the drums at 10 years old and this was one of the first songs I learned on the drums.
Beautiful Song!
You can tell he has passion for the song
song still gives me goosebumps
Bring the 90s back!
Live had massive success in the nineties in Belgium and the Netherlands. They scored many hits and played the biggest festival stages.
I have this version of the song on CD / FLAC file since 2 Meter Sessies released a best of album well over 20 years ago. It contains many great songs, including this one.
Chad Gracey reminds everyone that the drums are a musical instrument and not just something for keeping the beat. Beautiful work.
Perfect definition!
I was pregnant with my first child when this song came out. Its gorgeous. His voice is beautiful. But wow...it terrified me. The fear a pregnant mom has with their first child of dying during childbirth and never getting to look their new baby in the eyes is real.
That’s not exactly what the song means:
The band dedicated this song to Barbara Lewis, one of their high school friends who was killed by a drunk driver around the time it was written. Her brother-in-law Cory told Songfacts the story:
"The song's lyrics are mostly an analogy. Barb donated several organs, including her heart. She was close with Ed [lead singer Ed Kowalczyk] and the guys and died in a car collision with a fleeing armed robber. These lyrics are constantly misunderstood! Yes, Ed is speaking to the circle of life, but specifically to how Barb's life gave new life to many. The angel, the baby down the hall, the pale blue eyes (of Barb), the pain ("confusion")... the lyrics are wholly Ed's interpretation of his experience and perception of Barb's impact.
Our family has become close with the most genuine and caring man who is still alive today (over 10 years later), who has Barb's heart beating in his chest! 'Lightning Crashes' literally lives on."
Ed Kowalczyk doesn't like to talk about the meaning of this song, but he did explain its creation. "I wrote 'Lightning Crashes' on an acoustic guitar in my brother's bedroom shortly before I had moved out of my parents' house and gotten my first place of my own," he recalled to Spin magazine.
The music video, which depicts one woman dying while another gives birth, has caused some confusion among fans. Kowalczyk explained: "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 kind of transference of life."
It can be pretty terrifying for a first time father, too. My wife was 37 when she our first kids, twin girls.
@@adnaphow tragic its thread of origin… and how beautifully woven by Ed in song. Thank you for sharing this, I was in highschool when this came out and I was instantly drawn to Live’s sound. Now I love this song even more. May it bring comfort to all who love Barbara. She must be so proud of her friends.
What a song
I was 20. Englishman living in California skating with Ronnie B. Matt H. Jeremy W. All those guys. Best time to be alive.
I couldnt get into these guys but will say this song is in my top 25 of songs every wrote, i like it
Such a great song and sung so much feeling. Really a true classic.
💚Best memory: listening to this treasure taking my son, Sean, to school.
One of my favorite songs. Now head over to the Cranberries 2metersessions if you haven't already. Thanks for releasing 2metersessions
I love the way they build up this song to the ending....I used to think this song was so lame back in my hardcore headbanger days in the 90s but it was truly a great jam that I overlooked and never gave an ear to. This band is really good.
they are
I hear ya , I was getting killed at patera shows back then, chains , Soundgarden got beat to death at Metallica show, now we on here listening to this , the mid life crisis has hit. LSD is what got me beat up . thought I was superman , turns out im not even a super hero , mom lied to me
Great song. But those drums…take it to next level. Make my eyes roll into my head.
Saw them in Glasgow a couple of times, brilliant.
Shivers down my spine...
Discovered them through The OA Part II. Criminally underrated band. This performance is stunning.
Right !!! Had me jamming in my jammies.
SAME HERE! Never heard this song before OA, and I'm ashamed to call myself a music fan for not knowing it! Cried like a baby and listened to every cover I could find. Such a good fucking song. So fucking good. And every single cover I've watched has poured in the emotion just like the original. Love it. Absolutely love it.
What is OA?
@@big-joe-momma it's a show on Netflix
@@themetacrisis I wouldnt call them underrated this band was huge in the 90s,... they played at woodstock.
Love this version.
Epic performance
Thank you 2Metersessies! One of their best, if not the best song they ever made ❤️

I was born in ‘91 and was around through all of the grunge and 90’s classics, but wasn’t old enough to appreciate it all. Sucks’

I've always liked the song but got reacquainted with it after seeing Shauna beat the shit out of Lottie on Yellowjacket's 7th episode of Season 2 with the song playing in the background.
Anyone else a teen again?
Remind anyone else of Pollux Troy from Face Off?
The guitarist with the striped shirt kind of looks like Post Malone but without all the tattoos on his face.
🙏🏻🙏🏻DEEP🙏🏻🙏🏻..!!✌🏼
Op 2:55 gaat er iets mis in de mix?
Dan gaat de compressie op de hele mix werken als de drums er echt in komen ;-)
100%
I’m best friends with his daughter Cecilia
