Artist Biography For Our Lady Peace

Our Lady Peace Also Known As OLP Is An Alternative Rock Band Formed In Toronto Ontario Canada In 1992. The Band Has Sold Over Five Million Albums Worldwide Won Four Juno Awards And Ten MuchMusic Video Awards. OLP Has Released Eight Studio Albums To Date With "Clumsy" Often Being Considered The Most Popularized Of The Set. The Heavyweight Songfacts Reports That Their Eighth Studio Album Curve Was Recorded From 2010 Through 2012 At Vocalist Raine Maida's Home Recording Studio. It Was Released On April 3 2012. Full Circle A Theme That Eagerly Resonates With Each Member Of Multiplatinum Survivors Our Lady Peace. As The Band Approached The Release Of Their Seventh Studio Album A Feeling Of Renewal And Excitement Washed Over Toronto’s Favorite Sons In A Manner Not Felt Since Their Earliest Days. Self-Produced In Lead Singer Raine Maida’s Los Angeles Home Studio The 10-Track Burn Burn In Stores July 21 2009 Marks The Longest Period Between Studio Albums For Our Lady Peace. It Also Signifies A Sonic And Philosophical Rebirth. The Band Now Enjoys A Creative And Professional Freedom That They Haven’t Experienced Since The Release Of Their Now Classic Debut. “I Think About The Way We Made Naveed ” Maida Recalls. “We Were Just Starting We Knew Nothing About The Business And We Had No Expectations. It Was Four Guys In A Room Just Trusting Their Instincts. We Went Back To That. ‘Liberating’ Doesn’t Really Even Sum It Up.” Burn Burn Is A Triumphant Return To What Maida Terms “a Proper Mature Rock Album ” Steeped In The Kind Of Raw Intensity That Drove Their Early Material. Blinding Rays Of Anthemic Light Make Way To The Tender Poise And Precision Of A Band That Was Looking For A Way Out And Found A Satisfying New Way In. With Caution Thrown To The Wind Tracks Such As The Stunningly Arranged “Dreamland” And The Overpowering First Single “All You Did Was Save My Life ” Soar Above Angry Clouds Of Confusion And Insecurity With An Ascending Clarity That Can Only Come From Experience And Growth. The Pounding Affirmation Of “The Right Stuff” And The Vigilant Build Of Band Favorite “Refuge ” Also Reinforce The Notion That OLP Now Occupy A Unique And Enviable Mindspace. “We’re Not Looking Back With Any Kind Of Regret ” Maida Points Out “but We’ve Been Doing This Long Enough Now That We Know What We Want To Say. We Didn’t Want To Compromise A Thing.” Having Scattered In Different Directions After The Release Of 2005’s Healthy In Paranoid Times All Four Members Took On Projects Of Their Own Ranging From Solo Records Production And Songwriting Work Tours And Guest Performances. Over The Last Two Years Raine Maida Guitarist Steve Mazur Bassist Duncan Coutts And Drummer Jeremy Taggart Sporadically Reconvened And Lived At Madia’s Home Creating What He Calls Their Best Effort To Date. Members Would Leave Each Session Without Tapes Giving Themselves A Much Fresher Perspective On The Material They Created When They Returned. Producing Themselves And An Adherence To Rolling Tape Off The Floor Gave Birth To An Urgent Natural Body Of Work. “We Didn’t Put A Lot Of Pressure On Ourselves ” Coutts Confirms. “We Left Things Alone And Haven't Done That In A Long Time." “For Us ” Adds Maida “a Big Part Of This Band Is Playing Live. It Has To Be Something That We’re Going To Enjoy A Real Dynamic Collection Of Songs. When We Really Started To Understand That The Record Took On This Whole Other Life.” This Work Ethic Allowed Room For Guitarist Steve Mazur Who Joined The Band In 2002 To Blossom On Burn Burn. “On This Album I Really Felt Comfortable With My Role And What I Sound Like As The Guitarist Of Our Lady Peace.” Mazur Shines On Tracks Such As “Escape Artist” And “Paper Moon ” A Song Where Mazur’s Solowork Was Nailed On The First Go-Round. Our Lady Peace Is Also Striking Out On Their Own Professionally This Time Around Opting For What The Band Terms A “true Partnership” With Both North American Record Labels. “We’ve Never Been This Prepared For An Album ” Adds OLP Founding Member Jeremy Taggart. “In The Past We’ve Never Had The Foresight To Have Maybe Two Or Three Singles In The Can Already With Videos Etc.” “Nobody Knows Us Better Than Ourselves ” Taggart Continues. “We Didn’t Over Think A Good Song Or Idea Or Under Think Anything. The Good Songs Really Picked Themselves.”

Frogtoon Music - Song Info: Somewhere Out There

"Somewhere Out There" Often Mistakenly Called "Falling Back To Me" And "Gravity" Is A 2002 Single By Canadian Rock Band Our Lady Peace From The Album Gravity. It Was The Most Successful Single Of That Album And Is Also The Most Internationally Successful Single Ever Released By Our Lady Peace. The Correct Title Of The Song Is Indeed "Somewhere Out There" However The Specific Chorus Lyrics "defying Gravity" And The Fact That The Album Is Titled Gravity Led Some To Believe That The Title Of The Song Was "Gravity". The Song Is Mislabeled As Such In Some Search Engines Lyric Websites And P2P File-Sharing Programs.
The Song Is One Of Our Lady Peace's Most Successful Singles To Date Having Been Very Popular Both In Canada And The United States. Many Critics Praised The Single But Some Also Criticized It For Being "too Mainstream" Saying That The Artistic Uniqueness That Our Lady Peace Possessed In Former Albums Was Absent Here.
In Our Lady Peace's Most Recent Album A Decade Which Includes Many Of Our Lady Peace's Greatest Hits "Somewhere Out There" Is Featured. The Song Is Also Featured On Now That's What I Call Music! 11. The Music Video Shows The Band Performing For Fans On A Rounded Stage Lit Up In A Very Dark Studio. Most Of The Video Focuses On A Woman Who Climbs To The Top Of A Speaker Tower And Then Throws Herself Off Being Caught By The Crowd. This Is Also Steve Mazur's First Appearance In The Band Since Former Lead Guitarist Mike Turner Left To Form Fair Ground. In 2007 The Beginning Riff Of The Song Was Featured In A TV Ad For The Fox Television Network.
The Song Was Played During The End Credits Of The 2005 Film White Noise.
