Live - The Dam At Otter Creek Lyrics

Does anyone have the full lyrics?

I grew up playing at Indian Steps and swimming in Otter Creek. One of the most calming and beautiful places in Pennsylvania.

90s! The worse song on this album is when you forget to hit replay on the cd player. This is one of the "hidden" gems on this killer CD.

So much goddamn chaos going on in this song

I had an out of body, meditative experience during the height of this song. Music is powerful, and this album is no exception. A masterpiece start to end. And yes, a gorgeous concept album.

They are called DEMONS

BE HERE NOW

When all that's left to do 
Is reflect on what's been done 
This is where sadness breaths 
The sadness of everyone

Just like when the guys built the 
Dam at otter creek and all the 
Water backed up 
Deep enough to dive

We took the dead man in sheets 
To the river flanked by love 
Deep enough to dive 
Deep enough to dive

Be here now 
We took him there and three 
In a stretcher made from trees 
That had passed in the storm

Leave the hearse behind 
To leave the curse 
Be here now

It sounds like demons banging heads together. Makes me SICK

Damn this was epic as hell, great start to a classic album that sold massive and turned live into a huge international success. Sad there hardly known now.

Loved this time of my life, great album and tune. Music back then was awesome. So many albums came out that I could listen to straight thru and mot skip a track. Throwing copper is definietly on of them. Always thought the radio releases from this album were good, but the weakest tracks from this album. God/Jesus bless and save all that read this.

This will always be my favorite Album. Was gifted the cassette, and my ex cut it up because she heard satan when we reverse tracked the tape on a track I don't remember the title of anymore haha! Was one of those rare albums you could listen to all the way to the end.

Ed/voice...

Brings back great memories, early 90's in high school, funny thing years later my daughter was born on its release date April 26th. ✌❤

"winona had a big brown beaver and she showed him off to all her friends."

What a song

Be here Now.

Powerful

This is low down

Who’s listening to this now?
Be here noowwww.

In the Army Now brought me here

In The Army Now

Yeah I just love the slow, ominous guitar-- what would you call it, drone??-- in the beginning, with the distant echoing voices. Can anyone else think of other songs-- rock or otherwise-- with that same effect?? But yeah, definitely one of the better songs on the album that got lost among the singles, and a great kick-off to one of the best albums in the 90's.

Hard to find this song on you tube ! Thank you !!!

Lol, still hittin' it at 50 !

Seriously incredible song..love it!

How I learn to play guitar and drum at 15 years old...from this band...self taught!!

In the army now anybody

OCTANE91 “let’s go bust some Scuds!!”

I thought I recognized the guitar from that movie 😂

greetings from Brazil

Crank it... One of the greats, cannot fathom why its not more well known...

when i had this album , listen and making love... :-) what a powertune!!!

Que buena banda.

Talk about a great track to open an amazing album!!!

Ed canta demais, pqp! Que música maravilhosa!

Sweet concert at South Park Meadows, before it was turned into a f-ing shopping center...smoked a corn-cob pipe...and it was so hot, I wish Frosty was with there keeping me company....

In the Army Now - the desert scene. perfect music.

In your faccce

The whole album..,.

2017, still glorious.

Be here now.

My opinion, this is one the last great rock concept albums. It was designed to be consumed from start to finish. Not in bits.

That sir is whats missing from music these days, the album. Instead we have I tunes and auto tune and no soul, or pacenice to listen

God what an album.

A biblical story in the form of a poem dressed in rock sound

I think I wore the CD out back then!! Still blaring it at 38 years old!! 😀😀

Im 47 still love their music been to three concerts they never dissapoint

@Daniel Edwards I played it to death and the one after. Forgot all about them till i heard i alone on radio on car home from work, been blasting them since i got home.

Same situation to me never get tired of it

If it weren't for this band I'd have given up on the genre of Rock in the 90's. What a gift alt was to us all.

what the fuck are you talking about? 90s had the best rock music since the 70s.
for instance alice in chains or temple of the dog.

Live used to be really good. They're terrible now.

I used to get real drunk and turn down the lights and fall asleep to this song.........and wake up to it also.

I'm here because I used to listen to this album as a 14 year old and really dug this shit.. this album and mental jewelry still holds up pretty strong.. but the dolphins are crying about the rest of Live's career

I will always remember sitting outside with you on the deck of your dad's coffee shop in the cold for hours, talking and holding each other. always. RIP Danica. you are missed. I wish I could have gone to see you before you left us.

KannabosmHealerOfNations. in this world, we're born alone, and we die alone. but that doesn't mean we have to live alone, friend. I'm sorry for your loss, my condolences

-Chris

My dad was at a karaoke bar, and he was way too into this song, and he was just fucking *screaming* so loud that another guy had to punch him in the fucking face to get him to stop

"Things that never happened"

actually pretty believable.

I'm here cause I use to listen to this cd as a kid.... a lot.

pity you didn't use to read books more...as a kid... grammar police have their eyes on you.

Same here

This album brought me in a trance when I was a teenager and listened to it a lot. Brings back a lot of happy memories. Underrated band if you ask me.

Dynamically Monstrous! So much of their material is. Where Fishes Go, Voodoo Lady, Operation Spirit.

Loggins and Messina eh?

This is such a moving song....gives me chills whenever I hear it!

Sister Manic the bass and progression of the song is so intense.

I'm here because of in the army now;)

Heather Hawks lol same here . The desert scene

Heather Hawks 8 years 3 deployments in Iraq. Yes ma'am.

2019 and In the Army brought me here

Yup just watched it and realized I hadn't heard this in twenty years and that had to be remedied.

hahaha me too, greetings from Brazil, Nice movie

This song is a perfect combination of love and fucking rage...

Agree 100% - That's how I feel everyday, stuck between love and rage!

Ram Dass "Be here now" ...read it !

One Of My All Time Favorite Albums This Is Probably My Second Favorite Song On It .. I Love This Whole Album But I Think White Discussion Is The Best On This Album.

My Goodness. Its been about 20 years (1997) when my car was broken in and my CD collection including Throwing Copper was taken. Haven't heard this track since then, but memories all came flooding back just listening to it now. I also have White Discussion as my personal favourite, but this is a gem too

Yes! Just perfect!

This song says it all.....If I go down flanked in love...I'm going down good.

I think i'd be the only amongst my peers who thought this was the bomb track of the album. Which made me feel like the guy from the Live song 'FREAKS' video! back in the 90's. Alot of people dont like this song, go ask people and play it. A lot will hate it!

+dannymac322 This is one of the better songs that these guys have done.

Can't believe how under rated this song is

Definitely the best song on the album, and such a great intro. When this kicks in.. Oh my god, dude

definitely in my top 10 fave

albuquerque 94 - running through woods like a heathen.
oh, to be young again.
thanks for the run down memory lane

EVERGREEN TERRACE

an underrated song.
this is beautiful.

Throwing copper is bæ

Oh this song takes me back, my mother was and still is a 90's music consumer. At the time I was in pre k. I don't know how I remember this. But we would always listen to pop stations on the radio and she was tired of it, she wanted to listen to some of her root. And one of her favorite albums was this one, live throwing copper. She showed me the cover art of the cd. And for whatever reason I got scared of it and started crying. But she insisted we listen to it on the way to school. When we put the cd in and was scared and anxious to hear what came out of those speakers. And to my surprise. The best song I've ever heard, and still is my favorite song and album of all time. The dam at otter creek

AWESOME!

Have Always been a Live fan! it has to be one of the best Albums (cd) Ever!

+Amanda Turnage Totally Agree

Best Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this song is amazing!!!

That is not Loggins and Messina live, the band name is Live, I know because I have that CD, and Live sounds completely different from Loggins and Messina.

Their best song, period.

Pillar of Davidson is a close 2nd

stage is excellent as well, and heropsycho dreamer from the secret samadhi album is awesome!! love the baseline

@Chris Atkinson word

Love this song

Cannot go wrong with any song on this album. But Iris to me just by a nose over this one and white discussion.

In The Army Now!!

a song to suicide a great one for your last breath :(

@kocemon :-(

pauly shore like this..............in the army now, scene walking in the desert ...........

@Marcos Paggioli best part of the movie, and the camel.

hell yeah i am not ashamed to say i knew of this song from that movie. ive always loved that movie since i was a kid when it came out.. when i watch it i get an old feeling of being a kid again. its sad i wish i could go back and change some things

Amazing.

Every, single, song on this album is a #1 song.

yep this song is sick, i dont see anyone on here sayin its not.

I don't think there was a single bad song on Throwing Copper. I almost forgot just how good Live was at one point. 

wow i forgot how much i love this song

Me too. So many years it's been. Absolutely gold.

It's not a stretch to say this was one of the greatest albums ever, not just in the 90's but in any era. Throwing Copper is flawless.

Jeremy James Toadies!! I saw them live. Oh my G--they are so fricking good live!! If you ever, ever get the chance, GO SEE TOADIES. I love Tyler, Backslider, Quitter, oh man, they're all so good.

I just made the same comment the other night. You have favorite songs but the albums can be subpar. But, this.... you can’t be disappointed. Beautifully made. Every song has its own awesomeness.

Fully agree is my all time favourite album ever

This album IS the 90's

Still got my vinyl copy I bought the week it came out.

when all that's left to do is
reflect on what's been done
this is where sadness breaths
the sadness of everyone

Yep they love stealing ancient quotes.. Sorry Eddie.. But you know he would appreciate.. You looking it up and understanding it. Haha..

i come from the town where they made the dam in Otter Creek, so awesome to have a claim to fame in the town ya grow up in!

Went hiking by this dam today. It's so gorgeous there.

@captainsurrey Your comment just had me researching serial killers for the past hour. . . I'm creeped out now.

@wishcraft4u2 You just blew my fucking mind. . .oh wait, that was the song.

@megaterra69 It was a joke. Look up "John Bunting".

@mattscottist - Many times...

Thanks for posting this entire album! I own it, but sometimes it is just easier to YouTube a song, artist, or album than actually take the time to open iTunes or put the CD in. Cheers and thanks again!

omg i love this song

Hmmm..."Live"? That almost rhymes with "pure classic".

this album got me laid...

Throwing Copper (1994) is one of the finest American albums of the nineties.

The blue print looks 3D to me....hmm I might have super powers.

@marc91crx same same same

This album got me through some tough times.

This should truly continue to get emmy's. Breathtaking album

First CD I ever bought. What a great album.

@AdventuresOfManTV Did that happen before or after this song was made? Is this song about him? They are singing about a drowning among other things.
