Song: Live Like We're Dyin'
Artist: Kris Allen
Album: Kris Allen
Rating: 4 1/2 Stars
After the American Idol finale, everyone was surprised. Nobody had expected Kris Allen to win, his style was generic, and vocal ability tenuous when compared to the other contestant, Adam Lambert. In Allen's first single, Live Like We're Dyin', Kris shows us that there is something to be said for conventionality.
In Live Like We're Dyin', Allen tells us that we do not do the small, but important things until it is too late. We need to use our time wisely, and that if we do not stop to think about other, someday, when we need help, we will not be able to get it. Allen also discusses how every day is a new chance, where we can begain again. We never think about how some things are important until it is too late, and we need to live life while we may still participate.
Kris sings the song beautifully, speeding through parts of the choral arrangement while providing especially compelling vocals at the emotional climacterics of the song. The music excellently complements the lyrics, and brings a constituent of authenticity to the inspirational, yet unoriginal message. Live Like We're Dyin' is a motivating, and wonderfully radient song, and while it remains to be seens whether Kris can stay on top, he has surely gained many votes.
