The Return of Live Like Glass(2020–Present)

edit

On June 10th 2020, Live Like Glass dropped a new song called "I'm Not Dead, I Just Can't Feel Anything" with this in the video description.

"So, yes. I've decided to officially bring back this project in collaboration with a friend named Josh over at JSR Audio. This is a project I started back in 2012, and it meant a lot to me. In 2015, LLG nearly disbanded, but I tried my best to keep it going until 2017 alone, but ultimately failed and got burnt out. I put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and heartache into this. It was never about money. We don't know what the plan is on releases just yet, but this time Live Like Glass is independent. This is important because it means we can really put everything we have into these next releases without having to worry about deadlines. This is a passion project as of right now. There's a lot going on in the world and this is how, like many others, cope. With music.

I hope you love the new song as much as we loved making it & Thank you for sticking with me. -Danny"

Shortly after the release, there was no more updates from Live Like Glass until 2022.

March 18, 2022 "Thank you everyone for being so supportive! It's surreal to be back together! Can't wait to show you what we've been working on together! -LLG"

It wasn't until January 21, 2023 that they dropped a cover of "Unholy" originally by Sam Smith, but the band is nowhere to be seen in the video, which raised a lot of question about the current line up. in June of 2024 Live Like Glass dropped their single "Hello" and confirmed they were back in full force.
