There are currents of powerful forces in the universe and all we often see is just the surface. In many ways the simple beauty of the lyrics mirror the core meaning of this song. And this is really what an artist is yearning to create a song that is timeless. I would go so far as to say this is one of the great songs of rock. It has a beauty in that its poetry is simple, but potent. A hospital is the place where this cosmic convergence is seen in its starkness. It is about the peaceful passing of a life (an old mother whose children are grown), and the joyful if hectic arrival of a new life (the new mother and her baby). It is not about the girl who died in the car accident, nor is it about abortion, miscarriage, etc. It is there before us in plain sight, but hidden because we see the flesh most often rather than the spirit within. The glory coming out to hide is the spark of the divine hidden within all people. The pale blue-colored iris of a newborn baby represents the circle of life. The angel is both a symbol of the divine and of life, and the living people themselves (eyes opening for the first time in life, closing for the final time in death). The angel opens her eyes in birth, and closes them in death.
In other words, this song is about the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. But it was something that we hoped would honor the memory of a girl we grew up with and help her family cope with sorrow - which it seems to have accomplished - in a fashion in keeping with the theme of the song." The dedication to Barbara Lewis came after the song was written. What you're seeing is actually a happy ending based on a kind of transference of life. Vocals recorded in 2021 at SRG Studios (Hamilton, NJ.) Engineered, mixed and mastered by Sean Glonek. Nobody's dying in the act of childbirth, as some viewers think. "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. Ed Kowalczyk said, "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." Kowalczyk says that the video for "Lightning Crashes" lends itself to many misinterpretations of the song's intent.
