In the vibrant years of the 90s, as rock music sought new paths, a group of young friends from York, Pennsylvania came together to form the band Live. They didn’t just play music; they poured their very souls into every melody, every lyric, and in 1994, they gifted the world an invaluable treasure: the album “Throwing Copper”.

About the Band Live – Storytellers Through Sound: Live was Ed Kowalczyk with his captivating and profound vocals, Chad Taylor with his guitar notes, sometimes fierce, sometimes soaring, Patrick Dahlheimer with his steady, foundational bass lines, and Chad Gracey with rhythms that lifted emotions to new heights. They didn’t chase trends, but rather listened to their inner voices, creating songs that delved into spiritual depths, speaking of stories both deeply personal and universally grand: love, loss, the search for faith, and the light within life’s struggles.

About the Album “Throwing Copper” – Where Emotions Erupted: “Throwing Copper” isn’t just an album; it’s an emotional journey. Each song is a door opening to memories, to reflections that are intimately private yet universally relatable. The album is like a multi-hued musical painting, with brushstrokes both bold and exquisitely tender:

“Selling the Drama” opens with an enticing melody, like a whisper about the truths and facades of society.
“I Alone” is a lonely yet powerful rock ballad, yearning for understanding and connection.
But perhaps, “Lightning Crashes” is the brightest gem. With its sweeping melody, poetic lyrics, and vocals that feel like a prayer, the song speaks of the continuation of life, of sacred moments of birth and death, and the meaning of rebirth. It became a comforting balm for many souls.
And “All Over You” brings a fresh breeze, with its vibrant rhythm, spreading optimism and hope.
“Throwing Copper” not only captivated millions of hearts and sold countless records, but more importantly, it became a part of the memory, a soundtrack for the youth of an entire generation. It’s the album you can put on a melancholy rainy afternoon, or when you wish to find a moment of peace, a little contemplation amidst life’s hustle and bustle. “Throwing Copper” stands as a testament to the greatness of Live – a band that used music to truly touch the human soul.
