by radio and MTV, making it one of the most played songs of 2001.



Musically, Lifehouse offers a variety of pop-rock that offers the energy of Jimmy Eat World, Live or U2 at times, blended with the apt balladry and melody of the Goo Goo Dolls and Matchbox 20.



Singer/guitarist Jason Wade offers strong melodies and a solid vocal delivery that allows the group to comfortably shift from the louder alt-rock style songs to the softer ballads. The band's work, particularly the hit singles "Hanging by a Moment" and "You and Me," has often appeared on television shows and soundtracks, ranging from daytime soap operas such as One Life to Live to teenage dramas such as Smallville.



The band's penchant for inspirational songs often earns them the label of "Christian rock," fitting because the members were formerly involved in an explicitly Christian rock band called Blyss.



The band released its sophomore effort, Stanley Climbfall in 2002, followed by Lifehouse in 2005. 2007's Who We Are found the group shifting away from its highly successful ballad formula in favor of a more rock-oriented sound. While 2002's Stanley Climbfall scored a hit with the prom-ready ballad "You and Me," the group has failed to recapture the exceptional momentum of its debut effort.
