"'Song of Life'" is the fourth single released by English electronic group Leftfield and the first on a CD single release. The song was released on 12" and CD on 30 November 1992. The sleeve of the single had the footnote "dedicated to the memory of Steve Walters whose support, friendship and encouragement will never be forgotten". It reached #59 in the UK charts. The song was also used as the backing track for Channel 4's 'Dispatches' programme. The Remix 12" featured two remixes by British electronic music then-trio Underworld: "The Lemon Interrupt Mix", as well as the "Steppin' Razor Mix", which both feature on Sasha & John Digweed's mix album 'Renaissance: The Mix Collection'. The track appears in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and its soundtrack.
Impact and legacy
British DJ and record producer John Digweed picked the song as one of his favourites in 1996, adding, "Another classic record from 'Reneissance'. I've got lots of good memories of the track. I still play it today and it still goes down really well."
