Live Twice (song)


"Live Twice" is the title track and the second single from Darius Danesh's second album, Live Twice. The song was released on 10 January 2005 as his sixth and final single. It peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number 24 in Ireland.

Song history

The song was written about Danesh's father, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The song has some notable similarities in musical phrasing to Daniel Bedingfield's 2003 single Never Gonna Leave Your Side, and both videos were shot in Spain with horses featuring prominently.

Music video

The video for Live Twice was filmed in Málaga, Spain in black and white.
The church bell tolls and Darius is holding a rosary. He removes his tie and watch, symbolic of letting go of the material World. Groups of photographers and fans try to catch his attention but Darius walks through them like a spirit.
He is shown chasing after a white horse but when it eventually stops it dies peacefully whilst a girl releases a dove as a symbol of hope.
The white stallion used in filming the video also made an appearance as Brad Pitt's horse in the movie Troy.
