The band has released 3 live albums: "Repossses" , "Live at Saint Marys College" ,
and "Live at The Recher Theatre" with the last being their favorite venue to play.
They have also released studio albums such as Daisy Cutter and Thixotropic.
The band has since broken up, but anybody that had the chance to see these guys live, witnessed a miracle on stage. They were amazing, and are missed by thousands the world over.
RIP The Low Life.
We want you back!

The Low Life Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my God wants me to pray
I hate apples for being red
I hate these voices up in my head
I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
I think the walls in here are caving in
Did they just say something and touch my skin?
Why won't this picture just answer me?
Be my friend tonight; don't let me dream
I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
Well every single day's the same, and I guess that's great
Got me looking for more
Got me tired and poor
I was passed out on the floor
I'll just drink more moonshine yeah
I feel my neck stroked by the clock's big hands
I sip my coffee, but I am drinking sand
I won't be mummified in satin sheets
Because I know my life's better than my dreams
I don't ever want to wake and find myself awake
I don't ever want to die and find myself already dead
I don't ever want to love and find myself in love
Well every single day's the same, and I guess that's great
The Low Life’s “Moonshine” is a song that revolves around the feeling of discontentment and frustration with life. One of the key themes in the song is the feeling of being trapped within oneself with no escape. This is reinforced through the lyrics “the walls in here are caving in” and “why won't this picture just answer me?” The singer is searching for some kind of outlet, whether it's through the help of a friend or the consumption of alcohol, specifically moonshine.
The song begins with an inward conflict as the singer battles between turning to drinking moonshine or praying to God for deliverance instead. This could be interpreted as a crisis between the desire to numb one's misery or trying to find some sought of spiritual or emotional salvation. The lyrics “I don’t ever want to wake and find myself awake. I don’t ever want to die and find myself already dead,” show a fear of death, of missing opportunities, and a fear of living a life unfulfilled.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly disillusioned, feeling like each day blends into the next and that life has no meaning or purpose. The song ends on a slightly more optimistic note, as the singer ultimately chooses to embrace what they have, even if they’re unsatisfied with it.
