LIVE - Chad, Patrick, Chris and I are numb from learning about the horrible, horrible tragedy in Connecticut. Our children deserve an extended innocence and it is our collective obligation to protect them. On behalf of every LIVE fan we extend our deepest sympathies to the victims of this inexcusable violence. Lightning has crashed without regard to the frail human condition and there will be far too many mothers and fathers crying for their losses. We ask each one of you to contemplate your own lives and consider how you might define a personal creed to do better, to find space and toleration for our mistakes and misgivings. LIVE and its fans will make an immediate commitment to forming a foundation dedicated to the teaching of tolerance and collective understanding. The LIVE we love never had much to do with music. It was always about promoting a deep spiritual bond where we could explore and investigate the human condition. We remain committed to these values and will write and tour with inspired urgency to extend our network of fans who desire music that is more than just a good melody or self indulgent rock n roll. Like each of you, we too have our limitations but were counting on you to push us to new levels and higher expectations - because we need each other! With love and intended goodwill to all - Chad Taylor

Nice message from Chad. Props. Now who wants to bet Ed re-releases Overcome and says he wrote it because of the Newtown tragedy?

Quit it with the Ed stuff man...

Thanks for posting this. It gives me hope that the introspective spiritual side of Live wasn't Ed Alone. Perhaps the same spirit that wrote good pain and Iris still lives on in the new incarnation of Live. They are on the right track!!

This is the best thing I have heard from the band since the release of the redone TC songs.

Sorry. Ripping Ed is just too easy.

Chad writes very nicely - I would say makes more sense than anything Ed wrote...although Ed's (old) stuff still sounded good.

If we've learned anything it's that the spirituality in Live came from the collective energy of all four of them. It will be interesting to see how that manifests with CS in the mix.

I think if CS really does understand CCP and what Live stands for then he will fit in just fine. It isn't just Shinn writing lyrics, I have a feeling it is once again 1+1+1+1 = Live.

Absolutely ! This post and others like it that he has written over the past few years tells me that he was a part of the spirituality that I once thought was all Ed also. He has a very eloquent way of writing and I love it. I agree with you 100% !

Man, even serious stuff gets flushed into an Ed vs. CCP shitfest.

On a serious note it was kind of Chad to utilize his platform as an artist to express sympathy to those who were affected by such an unimaginable tragedy.

Unfortunately no words can ever even begin to repair the pain that was caused.
