1.) Assemble… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least three artists using the name Living:
1.) Assembled by front-man and songwriter Terry Strecker, Living were a highly theatrical 11-piece ensemble formed at SUNY Purchase; influenced by Bowie as well as certain other early synth-groups. The music video for Living's "Boat Talk" was originally included on Danspak (a video release formation) and remains a staple of the early 80s.
2.) Solo album by Lucas de Almeida of Inverness. Written and recorded between May and November of 2006 in a small brazilian town called Campinas, and it reflects that town’s characteristic parks and streets. It vaguely tells a story about a fever and its deliriums, although that can also be a metaphor for something larger. Conceived mostly with unplugged guitars through distortion effects, laptop electronics, and voice.
3.) Brazilian chillwave / experimental / psychedelic pop artist based in Bergen, Norway, debuting on Brilliance autumn 2015.

Living Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at the lights
Shine in front of me
As I try to breath
In the broken air
That's full of life
There's an icy sight
A troubled mind
I think
I've seen before
But before long
I find it's gone
One look at a time
Trying to find
That feeling again
It's in my head
It runs away
In a fearful chase
Between it and me
I can barely breath
A stillness
I know
I've felt before
But I can't try
Can't seem
To work it out
A stillness
I think
I've seen before
But before long
I find it's gone
The lyrics to Living's song "A Light" are introspective and describe the experience of trying to find peace and clarity in a chaotic and overwhelming world. The first verse begins with the singer taking things one step at a time, looking ahead at the lights shining in front of them. Despite the air being broken and full of life, the singer still struggles to breathe, feeling a sense of icy stillness in their troubled mind. This stillness is something familiar, something the singer has seen before, but it always seems to escape them just as quickly as it appears.
In the second verse, the singer continues to search for this feeling of stillness and peace. They describe how it runs away from them in a fearful chase, making it difficult to breathe. Even though the singer knows they've felt this sense of stillness before, they still can't seem to work it out. Ultimately, they find that this feeling of stillness that they've been searching for disappears just as quickly as it appears.
