What is "lifehouse"

Lifehouse may refer to:

• Lifehouse (band), an American rock band
  • Lifehouse (album) (2005), the band's self-titled album
• Lifehouse (rock opera), a rock opera by the British rock band The Who, spread across numerous albums
  • The Lifehouse Method, a defunct (in 2008) Internet site related to the Lifehouse rock opera by The Who

• Lifehouse (novel) (1982), a science-fiction novel by Spider Robinson; third in the trilogy Mindkiller, Time Pressure and Lifehouse

Lifehouse was a science fiction rock opera by the Who intended as a follow-up to Tommy. It was abandoned as a rock opera in favour of creating the traditional rock album Who's Next, though its songs would appear on various albums and singles by the Who, as well as Pete Townshend solo albums. In 1978, aspects of the Lifehouse project were revisited by the Who on Who Are You. In 2000, Townshend revived the Lifehouse concept with his set The Lifehouse Chronicles and the sampler Lifehouse Elements. On 1 May 2007, Townshend released online software called The Lifehouse Method in which any "sitter" could create a musical "portrait". The site is now defunct.

Lifehouse is an American rock band from Los Angeles comprising Jason Wade (lead vocals, guitar), Bryce Soderberg (bass, vocals) and Rick Woolstenhulme, Jr. (drums, percussion). The band came to mainstream prominence in 2001 with the hit single " Hanging by a Moment" from their debut studio album, No Name Face. The song was number one for three weeks on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, and the single won a Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year, having spent twenty weeks in the top 10 and more than a year on the charts.

In 2002, Lifehouse released their follow-up album Stanley Climbfall. Since then, they have released five more albums: the eponymous Lifehouse in 2005, Who We Are in 2007, Smoke and Mirrors in 2010, Almería in 2012 and Out of the Wasteland in 2015. These albums have spawned the singles " You and Me", " First Time", and " Whatever It Takes", which have all been Top 40 hits in the US.

To date, Lifehouse has sold over 15 million records worldwide.

Despite popular belief, Jason Wade has stated that Lifehouse is not a 'Christian band', though some songs have spiritual influence, the lyrics are open to interpretation.

Lifehouse is the eponymous third album by the pop rock band Lifehouse. It was released in 2005 on Geffen Records.

It debuted at #10 on the Billboard 200, selling 63,000 copies in its first week of release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on September 7, 2005. Lifehouse has sold 960,000 units in the US as of November 2009, and over three million worldwide to date. This album saw a shift in Lifehouse's sound as it featured less of the angst-ridden post-grunge sound of their first two albums, and a lighter, more radio-friendly adult pop-rock sound of later albums.
