Too Beautiful to Live (often abbreviated to TBTL) is a podcast originating from Seattle, Washington, hosted by Luke Burbank of Seattle's KIRO-FM. The podcast originated as a radio show on KIRO which aired from January 7, 2008 to September 11, 2009.
Fans of the show are often referred to as "The Tens", stemming from an early radio episode where Luke would mention how they only have "tens" of listeners, rather than "hundreds" or "thousands".
The show begins with the song "Catch My Disease" by Ben Lee, underneath a number of audio quotes from movies, TV shows or viral videos. Burbank welcomes listeners and starts the show by giving his weight, followed by introducing his co-host and guests for the show. His current co-host/producer is fellow former KIRO radio host Andrew Walsh. Infrequently, former TBTL radio show producer Jennifer Andrews and engineer Sean DeTore will appear. In addition to the daily lives and thoughts of Burbank and his co-hosts on pop culture and current events, the show often contains guest interviews with celebrities and listeners alike.
Move like the wind, burn like the sun
Cool like the rain, fool everyone
Fly like a bird, steal like a fox
Jump like a clown, pull like the ox
Be like the storm, scream to the gods
Hide all your fears, oh, brother of dogs
Crimson the blood of soldier and lord
None to excuse, death the reward
Still they are quickly falling
Down on their knees, they're crawling
Now there will be no morning
There'll be no new day dawning for me
(Keyboard Solo)
There'll be no new day dawning for me
Move like the wind, burn like the sun
Cool like the rain, fool everyone
Fly like a bird, steal like a fox
Jump like a clown, pull like the ox
Ooh! - Yeah!
Where do we go?
Ooh, where do we go from here?
Where do we go? Yeah! Yeah!
