MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Opening of Lightning Crashes)

On January 24, 1996,
Live took “Lightning Crashes”
to No. 1 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

(Music Cut 2 — verse settles in)

To get that haunting, distant vocal tone at the start of this song,
producer Jerry Harrison — formerly of Talking Heads —
had lead singer Ed Kowalczyk record his vocals
inside a bathroom.

(Music Cut 3 — brief vocal lead-in)

So yes — a multi-million-selling vocal performance…
recorded in a space usually reserved for brushing your teeth,
showering,
and other duties.

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Forces pullin’ from the center of the earth again —
I can feel it.” — Live
