Lifehouse - Hanging By A Moment

"Hanging by a Moment" was the first single off No Name Face, Lifehouse's 2000 debut on DreamWorks, and Jason Wade says he knocked it out in about five minutes without a thought for where it might go. Ron Aniello produced this slab of earnest post-grunge and Brendan O'Brien mixed it, with Wade singing lead and playing guitar, Sergio Andrade on bass, Jon "Diff" Palmer on drums and John Leftwich adding double bass.

It climbed the US charts slowly, topping out at number two on the Hot 100, and finished as America's most successful song of 2001. It also spent five weeks at the top in Australia, and no track got more radio play in Canada that year. The band went from opening for Matchbox Twenty and 3 Doors Down to a first headline tour of their own.
