Story Behind the Song
This Life That We Live tells the story of what happens in a relationship when one member has to be away. The lyricist as lover tells the beloved, “That lonely day you walked away/the sun shone so bright/But I couldn’t feel the light.” When the beloved is “a world away” across an ocean, on a deployment, on a job, all that can be is “hoping they will be safe… for our next embrace.” If you are someone with an absent love, or if you know someone with an absent love, listen. Feel the love and the pain behind, “I know it has to be/It is what it is/ This Life That We Live.”
