Original Theme by Michael Giacchinio, Used by Permission.
Arrangement by Paul Cardall (www.paulcardall.com)
Copyright 2010 Paul Cardall (BMI)
Most of you know that I received a second chance at life after a donor heart was placed in my chest on September 9, 2009. Ironically, my younger brother passed away 3 months earlier while I waited for the transplant surgery. He was unable to donate his organs. (The video contains actual footage from the day mom brought our baby brother home).
Today, beating in my chest is the heart of another young man who like my brother has gone home to the God who gave us life.
The best way I know how to express the raw deep emotions I've experienced is through the piano music I create.
Life and Death was originally written by Michael Giacchino for the show LOST. I fell in love with the piece and it speaks peace to my soul. Together with Steven Sharp Nelson and Marshall McDonald I arranged "Life and Death" for my latest album, New Life.
SPANISH
La mejor manera que conozco de como expresar las fuertes emociones que experimente es por medio de la musica para piano que yo creo.
"Life and Death" fue originalmente escrita por Michael Giacchino para el programa televisivo LOST. Caí enamorado de esta pieza, ella entrega paz a mi alma. Juntos con Steven Sharp, Marshall McDonald y yo construimos una versión de "Life and Death" para mi ultimo album, New Life.

My wife died of leukemia in 2017 . She was the love of my life and my best friend . When she was in the hospital this song would come on on Pandora , it would help her fall asleep . I never realized what the song was actually about until she passed . Thank you sir for bringing peace and rest to my wife when she was at her worst . I just can never say thank you enough .

I read your comment while sitting here in a hospital myself. Life…is so terribly short. But even if that one drop is shared with someone we love, our life meant something. God bless you and your departed wife. I sincerely hope you see her again.

Thanks for all of the comments. Yes,the main theme of this piece was originally composed by Michael Giacchino for the show LOST. While waiting for a heart transplant, unsure of my future, I watched LOST and loved the music. The show was a big part of my experience and, therefore, I expanded upon Michael's brilliance with my own interpretation of his inspired piece. I am glad you enjoy it.

I cried all the way through this piece ... My husband suffers from heart, liver and kidney failure along with COPD, ..among many other issues..he takes up to 18 different drugs a day just to be able to breathe..he's had 6 strokes and 3 heart attaches but yet he is still walking and talking.. God is great...however I do know that it's not always going to be like this..I will lose him to this disease one day..for now I'm going to enjoy the time I have with him..some people don't get to have 2nd's or 3rd chances ..our son who is almost 19 years old and I have had many nights in the hospital where we didn't know if he was going to make it or not but only by God good grace he survived..my husband says he doesn't understand why he's still here when normally one stroke can kill you but having 4 all at once ..and then 2 more a year later.. and to walk out of the hospital a week later..(and they were full blown strokes that should of killed him..doctors were coming in and shaking his hand they couldn't believe it)..he sometimes has this survival guilt ...I tell him all the time God isn't done with you ...and that your here for a reason.. For anyone who reads this..just know yes it's devestating to watch your love one suffer but God can move mountains ... So pray.. miracles happen all the time.. I should know I'm living with one...may God bless you all!!

@Michele M ..wow thank you so much....since then I've had my ups and downs... In Oct 2,2019 I lost my best friend.. unexpectedly...it was a shock to us all..she had 3 kids.. 2 grown adults and a 13 year old...she is very much missed On Halloween night Oct 31,2019 I was hit by a car going 45 miles an hour... I was in the hospital for a month... I lost all memory somehow I don't know how they found out a friend of mines number and got a hold of my family..i had a server concussion..24 hours .my family found out..they thought I was at a friend's so that's why they didn't look for me... On Dec 10,2019 I lost a very close close friend...if I wasn't married I would of been too him..but we were better off as friends... He spent the night at our house..he was on the couch I was on the other couch and my husband in the recliner..we fell asleep watching a movie...my husband and I wake up very early..it was about 5am..and I went over Peter our friend..and he wasn't breathing..he had diabetes really bad..I checked his sugar the night before it was a little high so I gave him his meds..he had his right leg amputated because of diabetes...but anyways I tried getting him off the couch but I couldn't cause I wasn't strong enough with my back and legs...and my husband couldn't because he was sickly..my husband called 911 while I preformed CPR... They worked on him for an hour.. sadly he died... And then in March my family had another family death... So it hasn't been the best 8 months... I'm waiting for things to get better any time...I'm sure they will... I still believe in prayer..and the power of God... Don't ever question his love.. I remember one night I couldn't handle all the pain and I was crying I asked the Lord to either take my life or take the pain..I couldn't bare it any longer..all night long I prayed..the next day I was better..I didn't cry..they were not the first thing I thought about when I woke up..yes I was sad but I wasn't crumbling..or felt like I wanted to die..I remember thanking God and asking if I should feel this way.. should I be hurting should I have guilt..and I remember my best friend saying that she would never want anyone crying for her..or not living their life... And Peter the same thing..he wanted me to be happy...so I try to live the way they would want me too....I still have days..but I'm no longer in my bed day after day..wishing to die... So yes life is hard...but it's beautiful as well...don't stop living and tell those around you that you love them... believe.....forgive.. live..and love... Life is too short !!!

Every time I hear this song my heart just SOARS with happiness. But it's bittersweet because even though it brings me back to the early moments as a single mother with sons ages 7 & 9, I remember how my world just imploded when my husband of 11 years just up and left after meeting someone else--I never saw it coming. My world was perfect, all I wanted was to be a wife and mother and how ironic because I never wanted to miss even one minute of my children growing up. It wasn't that the marriage was bad---it was that he thought he shouldn't have ever married me in the first place (and we'll leave it at that) When those violins kick in at 2:41, it is almost as if this song was written specifically with my sons and I in mind. Because at that very moment when those violins start and my heart seems to break in two, the video shows two young boys with cowboy hats running outside, playing together and just being kids. It's joyful, it's innocent, and it makes me so very sad. BUT, anyway, it's a good sad because it's something I went through and survived and came out the better for it! Well, thank you, Mr. Cardall for sharing your incredible gift with the world! AND PLEASE KEEP WRITING MUSIC! (PS--my youngest son is a musician!)

I'm a backpacker myself. String cheese and dried apples make for a great high-energy snack (as do Snickers Bars; don't waste your $ on overrated Power Bars), whiskey is a lot easier to carry than beer, and a good hat/pair of boots are IMPERATIVE.

It will not be a huge trip, but an opportunity for me to say I did it. It's through a canyon with a creek so shoe choice is narrowed down as much of the hiking is through the creek itself. No whiskey or beer for me. I'll be high on the adventure itself!!!!

backroads2010 Good news! "Heal thyself"---with the help of thy friends, if needed---is better than a chemical cure any day. Have a great time on the hike (couple more pieces of advice: 1. Wet wood and even rocks can be slippery; always better to step over them if you can---unless the wood is dry, in which case it's better to step onto it, as snakes tend to hang out near fallen trees---landing as flat on your foot as possible; 2. Hiking stick MANDATORY for any sort of treacherous footing (and don't forget to carry dry sox)!

The entire hike will be wet by design. I grew up on a creek and I am fully prepared for slippery. Snakes are an everyday occurrence here. No worries, I'm used to them. A pair of trekking poles are packed as are dry sox. I'm nailing this...!

I remember back when I was going through a slight self-diagnosed depression in 2011, I would listen to this song at night at my moms house. There was a window next to my bed and I would open the curtains to see the moon shining down and had it slightly open to hear the train in the distance as it went further and further into the night. I would get a feeling of peace and mostly sadness at the same time. I did not want the night to end 😥😢. As weird as it sounds I miss those nights very much.

I lost my brother to Covid in January. Never got to say good bye. No seeing him in the hospital, no memorial, no funeral. It's been impossible to feel any closure. His birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and I wanted to create a slideshow to honor his life and share it with his friends and the family on that day. I'm hoping it will provide us with the closure we so desperately need. I've been searching for the perfect music to accompany this tribute to him and now I've found it. It is the only piece of music I've ever heard that is filled with equal amounts of joy and sorrow at the same time. And that is how I feel about my brother's passing... so deeply and forever grieved at losing him but so very thankful and filled with equal joy that he was in my life.

I listen to nothing but underground rap, I grew up in the streets, had a rough life and desperately searched for something in life to fill in the cold empty void inside of me. Drugs, alcohol, bad influences, horrible choices but I regret none of it because it would of never leaded me to this song that one night in my room when I thought all hope for me was gone. I restored my faith, and not just that but I turned to God.

I lost my 15 year old son just 13 years ago. His death changed me. i will never be the same but I can be o.k. It has taken me many years to get to the place I am now. I can now celebrate the 15 1/2 years I had with him instead of crying all of the time. But that hole in my heart is still there and always will be there. He is my child and he will be mine forever...it's just going to take a minute for me to get there! I love this song! It's joy and sadness. Exactly what I feel when I think of my Zachary. Thank you Paul!

There are no coincidences. This makes me feel like nothing else.... I can play some piano. I’m an identical twin with a strong relationship I couldn’t bare the thought of losing.... yet being a psychic medium and having telepathy and strong knowledge from the other side I know that this was not the first lifetime nor the last we will have. My goal is to help as many people as possible connect with their loved ones on the other side and know that they’re not alone here. For whatever reason life and death I’m letting go and the songs call to me and have made me even more Who I am and more authentically who I will become on my path. So thank you, Paul Cardall. I’m sorry for your loss. I want you to know that you’ve done and given so much to so many in you’re a genuine authentic way . I thank you for the inspiration.

This song came on today as I took a sunset stroll. I immediately stopped and started crying. Because I've known so much loss. This last year my college best friend took her own life and then my mother died six months later on the anniversary of my grandfather's death. And on the anniversary of another friend's death (yesterday) my best friend moved to a different time zone. It's been such an emotional time for me and not knowing if they made it safe after losing so many people I love, I couldn't keep walking. I was that crazy lady on the sidewalk crying in public. Your rendition is so moving, and perfectly encapsulates life and death.

Thank you for sharing this song. The song moved me to tears. It is the Fourth of July today and I am studying for my psychology licensure exam. Well, I was when I came upon the section, "definition of a crisis" during the same moment your song played on my Pandora station. Both the content I was reading and your song brought me to tears as I thought about a dear close friend whom I recently lost touch with. We have known each other since 2005 and she is one of the most intelligent and beautiful people I know. We graduated together with our Ph.D.'s in Counseling Psychology one year ago. I found out about about a week ago she was hospitalized for several weeks. The few interactions I have had with her are very concerning and do not sound like her. I do not have her parents phone number and have no other way of learning about what happened to her. I just have to wait until she recovers and can share with me herself what happened. This song touched me because in this moment I feel a deep sense of loss because she is one of my few closest friends.

I dedicate this beautiful emotional music to my son who took his life at 33. He was also LOST himself and decided earth is not where he should have been. The weirdest thing is since I was a baby (baby's brain NOT formed yet), I remember looking at my older brother pushing me on the baby cradle and I said, "Why am I here? I am not suppose to be here... and who is this man pushing me on the craddle?" I grew up having problem socializing with people because all this time even now that I am 58 yrs old, I still believe I am NOT from here. A month before my son committed suicide, I was shocked to hear him say, "Mom I don't feel like I belong here". I had no idea he and I felt the same way all this time... LOST. Son, I'm sorry I brought you into this world where you didn't belong. Though your time was short, God obviously had a purpose for you. I love you with all my heart my son Tex. I am so much at peace when God came into my dreams and let me know He had taken you to heaven. Thank you Lord for forgiving my son and sending me your wonderful message. You've given me a peace of mind.

I held everything in but for some reason this song broke me down and I realized I needed my mom and brother the most at that point in my life but I was alone.
