Lifelover - Expandera(自譯 : 愛命人 - Expand, 擴張)收錄自瑞典的 LifeLover 的第四張錄音室專輯 Sjukdom (Sickness, 自譯: 病了)。
Lifelover 靈魂人物 B 於2011年9月因服用抗憂鬱藥物過量死亡後，其他團員為紀念 B ，一併將Lifelover樂團解散，讓樂團的輝煌過去與 B 一起走進墳墓。
Lifelover - Expandera 這首單曲更可以說是 B 生前最後的經典代表作。
有如慢性病侵蝕的沉痛緩慢Bass，搭配希望稍縱即逝的鋼琴點綴，再與了無生氣的歌詞加唱腔訴說者痛苦。
每秒樂曲都唱盡了 B 在人生最後一年的無望、苦惱....
也許團名LifeLover不是指愛命人，而是 Life l Over(生命/結束)
Lyrics Translate 歌詞翻譯:
[Sweden]
Jag känner mig som en levande katastrof
i ständig väntan
Ständig väntan på att explosivartat
expandera från ett allt till en intighet
De bevuxna vidder som omger mig
känns tomma och kala
stöpta ur berggrundens
omfattande kyla
Så tomma och kalla i sitt evigt
expanderande tomrum
Likt hålet jag bär inom mig
i ständig väntan på att slutligen implodera
[Translation]
Lifelover - Expand
I feel like a living catastrophy
constantly waiting
Constantly waiting to exposively
expand from an All to a Nothing
The overgrown spaces that surround me
feels empty and bare
shaped from the bedrock's
grasping cold
So empty and cold in their eternally
expanding space
Like the hole i carry within me
constantly waiting to finally implode
[Chinese Translate][中文翻譯]
我就像活著的災難
不斷等待
不斷等待爆炸後的虛無人生
我在大氣中不斷擴張
但卻是如此空虛、赤裸
如隕石坑一般的無情
空虛、無情不斷的無限擴張
結局就如我創造的隕石坑般...等待者塌陷
Lifelover was formed in June 2005 by B and ( ) in Stockholm, Sweden. A demo called Promo 2005 was recorded the same month, it contained two improvised tracks, but it was never officially released. In early 2006, Lifelover began to write material without boundaries. It was all written from what came to mind at the time, and eventually the band had songs for a complete album.
The recording of Pulver began in April 2006, LR and 1853 where recruited to the band. The album was finished in May 2006. After about two month Pulver was released on CD by Goatowarex on 25 July 2006. The LP-version was released by Northern Sky Productions some months later. The response to the album, both in a positive and negative way was pretty massive and nothing that Lifelover had ever expected.
Some time passed and new material started to take form and the recording of Erotik began, and H. joined the crew. Erotik was released by Total Holocaust Records on 24 February 2007. The LP-version was released in co-operation between Blut & Eisen and Eternity Records.
In late 2007, Lifelover signed a contract with and recruited two new members, Fix on bass and S on drums for upcoming live shows. LR left the band in April 2008. Lifelover performed a miserable first live show at Harry B James in Stockholm, 28 September 2008.
Lifelover's third album Konkurs was released by Avantgarde Music, 10 October 2008. The limited edition of the album contained among other things the Promo from 2005, on CD format.
Osmose Productions re-issued both Pulver and Erotik on CD in 2009, Erotik was re-issued on 21 January 2009 and Pulver on 7 May. Member 1853 and live drummer S. both left the band in May 2009. Already some days later Lifelover was joined by a new drummer called Non.
Lifelover finished the work on their new MCD called Dekadens in July, 2009. It was released 8 October by Osmose Productions on CD. The MLP version will be out through Elitmusik within some month. Dekadens features seven tracks, and is the first Lifelover release with real drums, handled by the newest member Non.
From 1 October 4 October 2009, Lifelover performed the PulverCities mini-tour in Germany and the Netherlands. Four gigs where performed. It was both a miserable and good experience, and was something this band truly needed. On 27 November 2009 Lifelover performed at Helvete Metal Club in Germany, and on 28 November at Garage in Oslo, Norway.
On 5 January 2010, 1853 re-joined the line-up, after having taken a break from Lifelover. On 19 January, Non left the band.
On 14 February 2011, Lifelover released their fourth album Sjukdom, that embraced a heavier sound. A box set, limited to 1000, was also released. The box set consisted of a tin box containing a syringe, Lifelover razor, rusty barbed wire, torn cloth bearing the Lifelover logo (patch-like) and postcards.[2]
On 10 September 2011, the band reported through their Facebook page that band member B died the previous day, stating, "We are very sad to report that yesterday our bandmate and brother B has passed away. The concerts today and tomorrow are still to be performed, but in a different form in his honor. This information is valid and in its extreme sadness true. A final statement with further details is to come."[2] On 16 September, the band released an official statement regarding B's death. According to the band, B was found to have died in his sleep on the morning of 9 September. Suicide and foul play were ruled out, but the official cause of death was yet to be determined pending an investigation. The remaining members ultimately decided to split up, citing B's irreplaceable role as songwriter, and stated that their final shows were those performed in Belgium and the Netherlands the weekend following B's death.[3] Months later, a preliminary autopsy report indicated "poisoning and overdose" as the cause of B's death. Family sources speculated that it was an accidental overdose on benzodiazepines, which B had been taking for several years for generalised anxiety disorder.[4]
