In the Christmas movie It's a Wonderful Life, there's a famous line:
 "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings."

What if every time there's a crash of lightning, a birth or death takes place?

In 1994, a rock band out of Pennsylvania released a song which basically ponders the circle of life, within the concept of lightning crashing. The band's name was Live and the song was called "Lightning Crashes."




"Lightning crashes a new mother criesHer placenta falls to the floorThe angel opens her eyesThe confusion sets inBefore the doctor can even close the door


Lightning crashes an old mother diesHer intentions fall to the floorThe angel closes her eyesThe confusion that was hersBelongs now to the baby down the hall"

A baby is born as an old woman dies...an angel of life balances out the angel of death.


"Oh now feel it, comin' back againLike a rollin', thunder chasing the windForces pullin' fromThe center of the earth againI can feel it."

The new life force pulling against the force of death

"Lightning crashes a new mother criesThis moment she's been waiting forThe angel opens her eyesPale blue colored irisPresents the circleAnd puts the glory out to hide, hide"
Pale blue colored iris...the circle of life is complete.Stunning imagery, a vocal which builds like thunderheads ready to explode and a perspective of life rarely seen in a rock song. Absolutely wonderful.
