Luv Your Life
2002 single by Silverchair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Luv Your Life" is a song by Australian rock band Silverchair released as the third single from their fourth album, Diorama, on September 2, 2002.[2] The song was composed in the key of C major,[3] and a music video was made in which the band was portrayed as animated characters. This is mostly because frontman Daniel Johns was incapacitated by his reactive arthritis, and the band needed to release another song to prevent commercial momentum for the album from coming to a complete halt.[citation needed] "Luv Your Life" was dedicated by Johns to "all my ladies",[4] and was written on piano and featured an orchestral arrangement by Van Dyke Parks.[5] Bassist Chris Joannou stated that this song is his favourite off the album.[5] The single peaked at number 20 on the Australian Recording Industry Association Singles Chart.[6]

Music video
The animated music video was directed by Steve Scott and James Littlemore.[7] When watching the video, one can see that Chris Joannou and Ben Gillies' animated characters seem to be more fluid and realistic than Daniel's. This may be due to Chris and Ben doing some sort of motion capture for the making of the video.[citation needed]
