Lifetime is the third studio album by the Australian band Real Life, released in October 1990 by Curb Records. The album is the first release by the band without co-founder Richard Zatorski's involvement. The tracks "God Tonight" and "Kiss the Ground" reached the Modern Rock and Dance charts in the United States.
Reception
Tomas Mureika from AllMusic believed the album was "better than much of the pop music out at the time, it feels too much like a commercial product rather than a labor of passion like Heartland or Flame", adding Kiss the Ground', 'Push of Love' and 'Let's Start a Fire' are all perfectly solid synth pop songs—but, alas, the era of synth pop was over by 1990 and Sterry had yet to discover the type of music that would ultimately make Real Life great again."
