Live - Lightning Crashes (Official Music Video)

The Angel closes her eyes. RIP Mom.

My husband loved this song.  We used to take a yearly vacation on a houseboat with friends.  The last vacation, he played this album/song over and over for 7 days.  We were ready to steal it from him.  He died a sudden and unexpected death at the age of 40.  It took me YEARS to listen to it without crying.  I no longer cry when I hear it.  I now see him with that beer in his hand, in his wakeboard shorts, standing on the roof of that houseboat,  living and LOVING his life and all that was surrounding  him.  Though his life was short, he probably lived more in those 40 years  than most people do in a lifetime.  And THAT is what immediately comes to mind when I hear this song.......along with a huge smile on my face and with so much gratitude that he was in my life.  He was one hell of a good human being and I say that not because I was his wife.  I say it because the world lost a very good soul the day he died.  As I sit here and listen to it now, it occurs to me how much this song applies to my story.   The circle of life....One dies and another is born.  I hold on to the fact that when he took his last breath, he knew how very much he was loved.  I wish that for everyone.  Thank you for allowing me to share this most treasured memory.

throwback to when MTV still played music videos

I am 71 and just found this song!! Where the hell was I when it came out?? I play it daily...love it!!!!!

Truth: you're on a nostalgia binge just like me.

This song. I don’t care what kind of music you like . This song is a masterpiece.

Shout out to all those still rocking this song here in 2024 🤘 Nothing quite like listening to it laying in the dark at 1am.

The 90s may be the greatest decade of introspective music ever. If I had only one decade of music to choose to hear until my demise the 90s gets the nod, and I'm old enough to have enjoyed the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Song is almost 30 years old, and I'll NEVER get tired of it. One of the best songs ever!

I'm crying reading some of the comments here describing their loss of loved ones. Parents, spouses, children... my heart goes out to each and every one of you.

The emotion behind this song in undeniable. Such rich and raw talent back in the 90s. I would do anything to be back in that place when I first heard this song. Todays music will never touch the 90s decade.

I've loved this song the moment it came out. I'm 60 and still love it. For some reason it's had me bawling like a big baby today. Amazing song.

One of the most underrated bands of the 90s

I'm the old mother now. I was the young mother when this came out. I love being a mother...it's the greatest gift God ever gave me

One of my mom’s favorite songs. Passed away in 97’, two days after my 8th birthday. I miss you everyday, every minute, every second, all the time.

My grandmother just passed away last night. My first child was just born a few months ago. I can't help but make the connection. He now has another guardian angel.

The 90's was just a great time for music.  Just an explosion of talent.  So much honesty and emotion in a lot of the music.  So many artists did it because they had something they needed to express instead of trying to write a cool song to make a buck.  That emotion is the difference between good music and bad music.

God I miss my dad 😢 this was his favorite song, he passed at 52 of a massive heart attack while at work out of town...I get it now Dad 💙💙💙

"The confusion sets in before the doctor can even close the door..." Flashback to August '96. My dad just passed away unexpectedly. I can't go back to the house and deal with people after his funeral so I go to the city park and just park my car. It's raining. It's cold. I'm alone with my thoughts. This song was playing on the radio. That's when it hit me and I finally broke down and let it all out. 27 years later and I'm still listening to this song as I miss him.

my niece was born the same time my nephews grandmother took her last breath, in the same hospital, when i found out i was an Aunty stretched between two rooms unbearably in loss and happiness - this rang true through my heart this song ... lightening crashes alright R.I.P and happy birthday still ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
