"Let's Live" is a single by The Blackeyed Susans, released in June 1995. It was the first single taken from the band's third studio album, Mouth to Mouth. It included several bonus tracks which were not available on the album, the most notable of which was a Suicide-styled re-working of the Bruce Springsteen track "State Trooper".[1]
In Ned Raggett's (Allmusic) review he felt "The late-night-in-the-club feeling of "Let's Live" benefits from the sometimes campy string performance."[2] In David Landgren's review he states ""Let's Live" is a slower number, replete with violins and cello, and I think it is this track that makes you realise that Blackeyed Susans are not just clones of what the aforementioned bands (Died Pretty and The Cruel Sea), but are very clearly tracing out their own path."[3]
The song was featured in the second season of the Australian television drama series, Secret Life of Us.[4]
