I am 31 years and i only just discovered this band. Cant believe I miss their music when it was at its peak. Would be a great childhood memory having their music around back then.
36 years old here. In my childhood bedroom I had a 5 disc CD changer stereo, and I had Our Lady Peace albums always in. You are correct in believing this music is a great memory - listening to this music puts me back in time, it really puts me back into those feelings we had in those days. the 90's and very early 00's. We can get back to that if we all want to badly enough. All we have to do is love love more than we hate hate. Love ya'll.
This was my dads favourite song. He was terminally ill for 15 years until this saturday god came down and took him away. It always made me sad why this was his favourite and tonight it hit me " If I dont make it know that I loved you all along" Love you so much Dad, the best Dad and small engine mechanic there ever was. I'll see you again oneday.
For me this song is about not holding onto grudges against beloved family members. I had a grudge against my father and didn't talk to him for several years, and I'm glad I kicked that habit before I turned 30 because I got another several great years getting to know my Dad as an adult before his passing. Don't hold onto the grudge if it's going to hurt more when they are gone. ✝
Noah, My son, If you end up reading this I want you to know that you are so precious to me. Your kind heart and empathy for those around you is a gift to this world. Just remember, everyday that you are on this earth is a day that you can bring comfort to someone or bring a smile to their face. People like you are what make living in this world a beautiful experience. Love, Dad
Make sure to tell him that in person while you still can, I had to read something like that in a letter after my Dad was gone, Hope you and your son are doing well ❤
Dam you and your fatherly love. This got me fr. Just wish I wasn't in the grocery store as a grown ass man trying to hide my tears while I'm holding cinnamon toast crunch, it's me and my dad's fav. The song the, the comment and the cereal was the perfect Storm of emotion. Best wishes to rebuilding your relationship.
Growing up in foster care in Ontario for most of my life was hard. There were so many times I felt like giving up. Feeling alone in such a hard place at such a young age where horrible stuff happened daily was a hell. Our lady peace was a big part of my life back then. These songs were a medicine to me and helped me not feel so alone in the darkest place a kid could be. Thanks OLP.
@@goaliefightclub You know man, I just got accepted into college today for a 2 year program after being homeless and just lost after leaving foster care and losing my grandparents. It seems like after all that darkness you might be right. I feel for the first time in my life as though I am headed on to something good and a life I always wished I could have. Self sustaining and peaceful doing things I enjoy and am passionate about and spending time with people I love. I came a long way and I managed to get through the mud. I appreciate the kind words a lot and they hit at the exact right time.
I lived in a poor home growing up. The only way I got to see a movie if I got free tickets and a neighbor with a kid my age was willing to take me. But my Mom loved me and with 5 boys she did her best. But I understand you. Unyil you vote democrat. We are either real people or suck on the government tit
It's funny how you can not hear a song for such a long time, yet remember all the words the moment you hear it again. 'Clumsy' was one of my fave albums from the 90s and this was one of my fave songs to hear OLP play in concert.
***** Music and lyrics are one of the things that stay with us for our entire lives. Music memory is stored in all sorts of areas of the brain, not just one area, which is why, we are able to remember music even after the rest of our mind goes (say with Dementia and Alzheimer's. You might not remember the person sitting in front of you, but you remember an entire song from your childhood.
Same! been listening to them since 2008. All because when David Cook performed "Innocent" during American Idol 2008. :) All the love from Manila, Philippines! #PandemicCovid19
My first husband's favorite band and song. It has so much more meaning nowadays. Rest in peace, Dan. 😘 If I dont make it, know that... I loved you all along.
I liked this song in the 90s and two weeks ago my dad lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. We never had a good relationship and never spoke, well the last 2 years I moved in with him to take care of him, this song really resonates with me now more than ever. Despite our differences I'll always love you dad I know you are in heaven and no longer in pain.
Jeremy. I suffer from pancreatic issues and a slew of other health problems. Pain piles up and it truly destroys you as a person. People around you become miserable not only because they are helpless but also because pain can also make a person cruel and intolerable. I usually troll but you stood out because I know someday my children will only remember my painful years. I'm not at all kind and lack social skills because I am in so much pain at times that my quality of life just simply isn't there. What I can so though, is that deep inside, the people I push away, make despise me, or have wrong due to that pain are the only reason I am still here. I love them all and I'm all the pain they truly are my only relief and connection to feeling human. I share this hoping that you know that even while my children may say the same of me someday, I loved them. I think too while I can't be for sure, that you too may also have been loved.
I’m about to turn 40 too! I remember getting this CD in the mail and playing the hell out of it. Clumsy was why I wanted it but this one quickly became my favorite
Same. I remember the day I bought this CD. My friend said "you listen to stuff I've never heard of" and I wanted to throw her out of my car so I could listen in peace.
Just got my copy of Clumsy on vinyl and I am completely transported back 20 years, listening to this cassette front to back nonstop. Goosebumps and watery eyes always. Clumsy is a masterpiece that got overlooked by most Americans anyway.
You can talk to him anytime/anywhere. My stepfather was so loving and caring that I honest to God believe that he pulled strings from the other side to get me my new career. I lived at home with them and he was the main bread winner. I paid rent and some bills but he made way more money than I. My mother doesn't work, and she feels she is too old to return working. They have no savings and I had no savings... we were fkd after he passed. Literally within 2 weeks of his passing I got a new job with a pension and benefits that doubles my previous earnings! Miracles truly do happen! Now I can take care of my mom and I do it in his honor.
Our Lady Peace as a band transcends the shallow boundaries of nationality by connecting with the experiences and spiritulity of a listener through thoughtful music. You don't have to be Canadian to appreciate that, you just have to listen.
This track can make a grown man cry. Whatever the issues are in our lives and the magnitude, this song can move you. Our Lady Peace you hit it good here. Miss this musical era.
I was relating to this song in middle school!! I didn’t spend a day of my childhood with my mother after my dad gained full custody. I had to mature quick and didn’t get to enjoy childhood much. My dad did the best he could with a broken heart. Songs like these kept my young mind out of trouble. Much love to anyone reading.
I was in my young teens when this album came out. I remember waiting all week for the much music countdown to see this music video. Long live the 90s. Great decade.
Had super shitty parents, I was thrown out at 15, lived in a garage forever. it’s songs/albums like these that helped this -now- 39 year old man be successful and shove it right back to them.
My dad's in the hospital right now with COVID and pneumonia. We haven't had a father/son relationship since I was a kid. He used to be a heavy alcoholic, and he was hateful and violent. He's in his 70s now, and a broken shell of a man, so he probably won't survive this. I hope he does. He hasn't drank in nearly 15 years, but the damage is done, both to his body, and to my mental state. Between hearing this song, and Thief, a song about a young girl who died of brain cancer...how I happened upon these two relevant songs tonight, when I needed them most is amazing. I've been a fan since they released their album Clumsy in 1997. But I haven't listened to them in over a decade. Tonight, some reviewer mentioned their new album (I had no idea were even together anymore), so I started retroactively started listening to my favorite OLP albums, starting with Clumsy. When I listened to Thief, I never really paid attention to the lyrics. In 2020, I was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. It was supposed to have killed me by the end of 2020, but here I am. I LOVED these songs when they came out, and for years after. I NEEDED these songs right now, and for some time before. But I have them now. Life and death are a trip for sure. I forgive you, dad. Wholeheartedly.
my dad abandoned me when i was 5, grew up with my mom, 14 years later, i found him, and it was just awful.. he couldn't believe it. now whenever i listen to this great song it reminds me of him
If it’s any consolation from the other side, I divorced my wife because of who she was as a person when our kids were very young. I fought for 15 years to stay in their lives in the family courts and they never knew. After ten years of not seeing my oldest she came around it was awful. She was butter and angry and I never had a chance. It broke my heart a second time and I know we will never recover but not a day goes by that I haven’t cried for the time lost. Your dad probably feels the same way somewhere deep down and has no idea how to express it. The system chews up families like no other. Sorry for the time you lost and I hope one day it can be fixed.
my father just died and this song i listened to this song years ago just so i would put aside his and my problems and be the son he deserved to have. now listening to this song today breaks my heart but makes me joyed that i know i tried my hardest.
I just honestly love Jeremy Taggart's style. He really breaks up a song with a ton of fills and doesn't get trapped with the snare on 2 and 4. Sounds so great.
When my dad was younger he went to one of OLP's concerts. Last year he ended up in hospital. I was listening to music the same night I got the call and this came on. I broke. He didn't make it, gone at 45. and this was played at his funeral because it was one of his favourites played at the concert. I attended their 2023 concert in Windsor at the Colosseum last month and it was one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you.
The day my father died me & my sibling went to his house just 30mins after they picked up his body and walking into the house this song was on & on repeat. 20 minutes in of being in that house Im crying with my siblings the cd skipped on "if i don't make it know that I loved you along" for a good 4 minutes on that one part & the CD was practically brand new with no scratches, this song hits hard..
I sent my dad a birthday card (September 2004) with the lyrical stanzas from the beginning, "Blamed my father for the wasted years...", "Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong" and the "If I don't make it know that I loved you all along..." part. My dad's gone now (before 2006); I'm so glad I sent him that card with lyrics; my mom told me he had a big cry. Some of my writings, and this song, are for you, Dad; thanks for all the lessons, as I'm 44 years old now, and in my mind, that means I made it:-).
My mom loved olp and died in 2017 in her sleep at 41 and I like to think it's her singing the chorus to me sometimes, that she infact didnt make it but she loved me all along.
October 2019 , amazeballs song still! For those who have never heard Our Lady Peace, their lead singer can hit some insanely high notes, has a unique countertenor falsetto singing voice
I had a girlfriend that loved listening to this band. About 7 years ago and still seems to put me back in my old truck sitting next to her passing joints to each other. Not giving a damn. I really miss her sometimes. But past is in the past
This song tho... But this friggin song tho! Just that opening line...this whole song brings up pain in the most attractive way. Oh! And I started listening to this at 4 a.m.
I blamed my father for the wasted years. We hardly talked. Since he died on October 9th 2000 when I was 16. This song was so important to me during that time.
My dad was a terrible abusive person. But I still imagine a world where he changes I still hope. Because if there was true sorrow, regret and change I'd forgive. But there isn't and never will be, you can't get that from a full blown sociopath. This song is a turn around story of forgiveness I've always wanted.
I'm in the same boat. I wrote my dad. And told him he had two choice either we leave the past in the past and start fresh. Or he apologizes for everything and we move forward. He picked option two surprisingly. I don't trust him enough to not have written copy of what he says to me. And if he goes back on what he agreed to then that's it for him and my conscience will be clear.
I understand your pain as if it were my own. Your words are ones I have said many times to myself. Awesome name by the way. It made me think of changing mine to Steve Buscemi's wandering eye. But I dont like bitin peoples creativity. Hope you find it within yourself to forgive your father. And I dont mean to do so for his sake or piece of mind but yours. I am almost to that difficult place within myself now. It has taken years to get there.
@@ants_in_my_eyes_johnson6844 yea I"d have to agree, forgiving someone is not for them at all - it's for you. You're hate or grudge with someone doesn't hurt them but only yourself if you think about it.
Mine too then one abusive relationship after another. My daughter and I listened to this 24 7 back in the better days until my life stopped when she died at age 29 .
I had an almost opposite situation, my step father was psychologically abusive, but a lot of it came from ignorance & mental illness, he did have many good moments with me, but he has overall left me unintentionally damaged with the things he said to my mother & other family members. He feels incredibly remorseful but I can’t face him, he’s sorry for everything but I can’t accept it.
When I was young my mother left my father after years of abuse. I was only one year old. Flash forward to 35 I thought it might be a good idea to reach out to my father's family not even knowing if he was alive. Turns out he was.. I was too hurt and scared to contact him, procrastinated for a few months then built up the courage. Called his brother, found that he was missing for a month.. police had thought they found his body and needed my DNA to determine. Gave it to the police thinking I didn't care about the results.. I'm tough. When they confirmed it was his body I never thought I would cry for weeks.. everytime I hear this song I think about what we could have been to eachother or if he even ever thought of me. Every-single-time I hear these lyrics I cry 💔
I didn't have a great relationship with my dad growing up. It was after listening to this song that gave me the push to try to have a positive relationship with him. After losing my when I was 17, my dad and I grew apart because we took her death the hardest. Now I can say that my dad and I are in a place where we can respect and love one another.
This was the song that I always hit skip on in the 90s. Clumsy, BDR, Car Crash meant so much more to me. But now, at 38 years old, this one probably hits me the hardest. I'm sure you know what I mean.
This album means an incredible amount to me. I've cherished it since the day it was released some 30 years ago. Ive been fortunate enough to see these guys several times live, the most memorable of which, on my birthday in 2010, just 3 weeks after the birth of my only son. I really needed that concert to help me bring my life full circle. Thank you OLP
@@staygold902 He can be born in Canada and still be Germanic. He'll I am born in Canada and I'm a Hebrew however I also have Prussian in me. Actually royalty from the Prussian line of the Hohenzollern family..... One of my Hebraic ancestors was a duchess of that family they didn't know she was a Hebrew she was excommunicated for running off with the gardener she loved.. After World war 1 and the fall of Prussia, foreign Jews were exiled from Germanic lands specifically Bavaria and Prussia, and probably Swabia Aswell. The rest of my Hebraic family boarded trains and left dressed as women to avoid military service. But the blood is still their and because its the Hohenzollern family and the line goes through my mother and grandmother, not my aunt this means I am a far but direct descendant of Kaiser Willhelm the 2nd and the Queen of England... You should study your lineage I know I'm royalty because of these family stories and my DNA confirms it only 7% Germanic Europe because I'm Hebrew not Ashkenazi. I know I'm from Israel because I can commands Arabian horses like they are my kin and I love kvass.
@@lurk7967 my original statement was that it was a Canadian masterpiece. Which it it's. The band is Canadian and so is Raine. Every human has lineage. Your over complicating it. He is Canadian born and raised.
Shouldn’t blame anyone for your life. We are our own person. Innuendos ∀ For All. Life is full of good and bad. Learning Curve in this world. Believe in the processes.
I love that they resisted the obvious temptation to bring in much simpler drums at 0:45 . The mixing is great, because they're still subdued--but there's a LOT going on and it doesn't amp up the song. Great writing, great mixing, great album, great band.
+tuanomsoc You're not kidding. That drum beat is cooking. Really does elevate the song to a whole new level. Perhaps this song wouldn't be the same without that drum part. Thanks for your perspective :)
knew and loved this song for years. 59 now, lost my dad in 2015, when he was 93. last saw/ talked to him at age 85. ...the changes in the man... lot of guilt, but in the end reconciled. great man, never knew. love you dad. always regret. some lines on my headstone or urn.
This song reminds me of when I was doing drugs.. It had a hold of me for a year. ×if I don't make it know that I loved you all along just like sunny days we ignore because we are all dumb and jaded.× I was hard into crack. I loved my mom all along even if I didn't make it.
Saw them with an old high school bud a couple weeks ago, they open for Bush and Live. Totally nalstatolgic concert. Live tore the roof off the place. Still rocking in 2019!!!
I walked around my good intentions And found that there were none I blame my father for the wasted years We hardly talked I never thought I would forget this hate Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong I walked around my room, not thinking Sinking in this box I blame myself for being too much like somebody else I never thought I would just bend this way Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong And if I don't make it known that I've loved you all along Just like sunny days that we ignore because We're all dumb and jaded And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

"We're all dumb & jaded" - true facts 💯

I could watch Raine sing all day. Yep that's what I'm doing in quarantine. Watching the nineties.
Hi fellow quarantiner ! :)
I love you

I get what your saying, some of my experiences mirror yours... my dad passed a year ago and this song really makes me think of it.
2023 ❤ loved listening to OLP as a teen and still to this day almost 40. The older shit tho😂
I’m about to turn 40 too! I remember getting this CD in the mail and playing the hell out of it. Clumsy was why I wanted it but this one quickly became my favorite
Halfway towards 2020 and here I am, listening to a masterpiece from 1997.
If i dont make it call the cops bro
Olp was the first band i went and bought a cd for. It was gravity for me.
Same. I remember the day I bought this CD. My friend said "you listen to stuff I've never heard of" and I wanted to throw her out of my car so I could listen in peace.
His talent takes his attractiveness to a WHOLE other level. Lucky Chantal...
1997 was so epic for me. Pivotal year.
Off one of the best albums of the 90s, and frankly any decade.
It's just timeless.
AllSaintsDay2099 epitome of the 90s next to Nirvana
Saw them along time ago in Indianapolis (2002)and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen
Track for track, a great album
Just got my copy of Clumsy on vinyl and I am completely transported back 20 years, listening to this cassette front to back nonstop. Goosebumps and watery eyes always. Clumsy is a masterpiece that got overlooked by most Americans anyway.
I was in love @ first listen, but then I'm different then most of my compatriots.
This song used to make me bawl so hard.
When the time came, I didn't make it in time. I miss you, dad.
I feel that. 🙏RIP
You can talk to him anytime/anywhere. My stepfather was so loving and caring that I honest to God believe that he pulled strings from the other side to get me my new career.

My dad's in the hospital right now with COVID and pneumonia. We haven't had a father/son relationship since I was a kid. He used to be a heavy alcoholic, and he was hateful and violent. He's in his 70s now, and a broken shell of a man, so he probably won't survive this. I hope he does. He hasn't drank in nearly 15 years, but the damage is done, both to his body, and to my mental state. Between hearing this song, and Thief, a song about a young girl who died of brain cancer...how I happened upon these two relevant songs tonight, when I needed them most is amazing. I've been a fan since they released their album Clumsy in 1997. But I haven't listened to them in over a decade.
Tonight, some reviewer mentioned their new album (I had no idea were even together anymore), so I started retroactively started listening to my favorite OLP albums, starting with Clumsy. When I listened to Thief, I never really paid attention to the lyrics. In 2020, I was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. It was supposed to have killed me by the end of 2020, but here I am. I LOVED these songs when they came out, and for years after. I NEEDED these songs right now, and for some time before. But I have them now. Life and death are a trip for sure.
I forgive you, dad. Wholeheartedly.
our lady peace has probably one of the most meaniful lyrics of the 90s
the message and the raw emotion are enough
my dad abandoned me when i was 5, grew up with my mom, 14 years later, i found him, and it was just awful.. he couldn't believe it. now whenever i listen to this great song it reminds me of him
If it’s any consolation from the other side, I divorced my wife because of who she was as a person when our kids were very young. I fought for 15 years to stay in their lives in the family courts and they never knew.
After ten years of not seeing my oldest she came around it was awful. She was butter and angry and I never had a chance. It broke my heart a second time and I know we will never recover but not a day goes by that I haven’t cried for the time lost. Your dad probably feels the same way somewhere deep down and has no idea how to express it. The system chews up families like no other.
Sorry for the time you lost and I hope one day it can be fixed.
Still one of my all time favorite songs. 🖤
Oh I could play this album on repeat all day!!!! Almost 20 years of rocking to this great band!
Im an antichrist, do not tell it to god.
should have a billion views
yeah
Nah, doesn't make the song and better. It's just for you and me.
theres a reason for everything..
A billion likes wouldn't make the song better. Even a billion people wouldn't be able to understand how great this song and band are.
One of my all-time favourite songs growing up. Clumsy album came out when I was in middle school. God I loved OLP.
my father just died and this song i listened to this song years ago just so i would put aside his and my problems and be the son he deserved to have. now listening to this song today breaks my heart but makes me joyed that i know i tried my hardest.
I just honestly love Jeremy Taggart's style. He really breaks up a song with a ton of fills and doesn't get trapped with the snare on 2 and 4. Sounds so great.
Yeah the drums in the song are amazing
Thanks for highlighting Jeremy's playing. I grew up on OLP. I never appreciated how good he was.
When my dad was younger he went to one of OLP's concerts. Last year he ended up in hospital. I was listening to music the same night I got the call and this came on. I broke. He didn't make it, gone at 45. and this was played at his funeral because it was one of his favourites played at the concert. I attended their 2023 concert in Windsor at the Colosseum last month and it was one of the best experiences in my life. Thank you.
The day my father died me & my sibling went to his house just 30mins after they picked up his body and walking into the house this song was on & on repeat. 20 minutes in of being in that house Im crying with my siblings the cd skipped on "if i don't make it know that I loved you along" for a good 4 minutes on that one part & the CD was practically brand new with no scratches, this song hits hard..
And if i don't make it know that I loved you all along
❤
I will never get tired of listening to Our Lady Peace. Been a fan for 20 years or more and I can't think I will ever stop listening.
Damn song makes me cry every time!
Same here. I haven't listened to this song in a while. Just came from the song Thief. I love this band.
I sent my dad a birthday card (September 2004) with the lyrical stanzas from the beginning, "Blamed my father for the wasted years...", "Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong" and the "If I don't make it know that I loved you all along..." part. My dad's gone now (before 2006); I'm so glad I sent him that card with lyrics; my mom told me he had a big cry. Some of my writings, and this song, are for you, Dad; thanks for all the lessons, as I'm 44 years old now, and in my mind, that means I made it:-).
Timeless... "And I hope to god I figure out what's wrong" Still searching. Who else ?
My mom loved olp and died in 2017 in her sleep at 41 and I like to think it's her singing the chorus to me sometimes, that she infact didnt make it but she loved me all along.
Rips my heart this song.
I miss the 90's.
Eric Vincent yah, me 2,
Bud robinson 90's MUSIC FOR LIFE!
Eric Vincent Music was much better then.
me too
October 2019 , amazeballs song still!
For those who have never heard Our Lady Peace, their lead singer can hit some insanely high notes, has a unique countertenor falsetto singing voice
2022
Was never a massive Our Lady Peace fan, but I loved this song. I’m instantly transported back to my childhood when I hear it.
This song came along at a time in my life, when I needed to hear it! Thanks OLP
np
Our Lady Peace of this particular era is like a friend who is there for you, during the hardest times.
i want this song at my funeral. it's beautiful!.
I had a girlfriend that loved listening to this band. About 7 years ago and still seems to put me back in my old truck sitting next to her passing joints to each other. Not giving a damn. I really miss her sometimes. But past is in the past
I could write a big paragraph about why this song is so great and how the 90s were epic..... But just listen to the song it speaks volumes!
This song tho...
But this friggin song tho!
Just that opening line...this whole song brings up pain in the most attractive way. Oh! And I started listening to this at 4 a.m.
I blamed my father for the wasted years. We hardly talked. Since he died on October 9th 2000 when I was 16. This song was so important to me during that time.
listened to this song many times when my father passed when I was 14. I feel ya. It's heavy. All the best.
Such tasteful drums.
One of the most underrated drummers
Still a great song after all these years.
Easily one of my favorite songs of all time
I do not know why this video does not have a billion views , Love it !!
....
Underrated
Coz 90% of youtube audienceare stupid love justin barber
4 am also means For Adam Maida
CheapskateGardener it's bean four years
This is one of the loneliest songs I've ever heard it made me think about my loneliness during the coronavirus I'm a Loner
walked around my good intentions..found that there were none...
my life summed up in a lyric.
Courtney Ballard There are people with good intentions always.
Life summed up
Um ok....... wtf
I remember in highschool playing this album. As I worked away... Nobody else could focus cause the music was great!!❤
My mamas favourite song. Always think of her when I hear this. 😭
How could I forget this song?!? Omg....means so much more now.....
This song always rips me apart
4AM is a masterpiece of a song.
I havent heard this song for years.. Watching it on 2019, thankful to discover that I still remember all the words.. just wow
This song should have...billions of views...
Heard this on a radio that a guy was listening to where I was this morning. I was in grade 6. Got me through that year.
Um ok......
My dad was a terrible abusive person. But I still imagine a world where he changes I still hope. Because if there was true sorrow, regret and change I'd forgive. But there isn't and never will be, you can't get that from a full blown sociopath. This song is a turn around story of forgiveness I've always wanted.
I'm in the same boat. I wrote my dad. And told him he had two choice either we leave the past in the past and start fresh. Or he apologizes for everything and we move forward. He picked option two surprisingly. I don't trust him enough to not have written copy of what he says to me. And if he goes back on what he agreed to then that's it for him and my conscience will be clear.
I understand your pain as if it were my own. Your words are ones I have said many times to myself.
Awesome name by the way. It made me think of changing mine to Steve Buscemi's wandering eye. But I dont like bitin peoples creativity. Hope you find it within yourself to forgive your father. And I dont mean to do so for his sake or piece of mind but yours. I am almost to that difficult place within myself now. It has taken years to get there.
@@ants_in_my_eyes_johnson6844 yea I"d have to agree, forgiving someone is not for them at all - it's for you. You're hate or grudge with someone doesn't hurt them but only yourself if you think about it.
Mine too then one abusive relationship after another. My daughter and I listened to this 24 7 back in the better days until my life stopped when she died at age 29 .
I had an almost opposite situation, my step father was psychologically abusive, but a lot of it came from ignorance & mental illness, he did have many good moments with me, but he has overall left me unintentionally damaged with the things he said to my mother & other family members.
He feels incredibly remorseful but I can’t face him, he’s sorry for everything but I can’t accept it.
When I was young my mother left my father after years of abuse. I was only one year old. Flash forward to 35 I thought it might be a good idea to reach out to my father's family not even knowing if he was alive. Turns out he was.. I was too hurt and scared to contact him, procrastinated for a few months then built up the courage. Called his brother, found that he was missing for a month.. police had thought they found his body and needed my DNA to determine. Gave it to the police thinking I didn't care about the results.. I'm tough. When they confirmed it was his body I never thought I would cry for weeks.. everytime I hear this song I think about what we could have been to eachother or if he even ever thought of me. Every-single-time I hear these lyrics I cry 💔
I'm sorry you have to go through all that pain. Life is way too short and precious but we're destined to stumble around. Wishing you well
I love this song so much
thank you Taz Taylor for showing me this song!
Such an AMAZING voice and band!
I didn't have a great relationship with my dad growing up. It was after listening to this song that gave me the push to try to have a positive relationship with him. After losing my when I was 17, my dad and I grew apart because we took her death the hardest. Now I can say that my dad and I are in a place where we can respect and love one another.
This was the song that I always hit skip on in the 90s. Clumsy, BDR, Car Crash meant so much more to me. But now, at 38 years old, this one probably hits me the hardest. I'm sure you know what I mean.
Felt overwhelming happiness to hear this today after 5-10 years, yet an overwhelming melancholy for the 20+ years that have passed.
Just saw them live last night in Ottawa. City folk 2019
seeing OLP live is on my bucket list, sadly havent been able to yet
After alllll theeeessssee yearsss this song still rings loud
Still listening to this in 2018!
Hindi nakakasawa pakinggan. 😉😊
Still listening 2019
2019 here
2020 here
This album means an incredible amount to me. I've cherished it since the day it was released some 30 years ago.
Ive been fortunate enough to see these guys several times live, the most memorable of which, on my birthday in 2010, just 3 weeks after the birth of my only son.
I really needed that concert to help me bring my life full circle.
Thank you OLP
I literally wore out this tape. Yes tape. This album is a Canadian masterpiece front to back
@@staygold902 the singer is Germanic look at his facial features
Dutch I think that's why Canadians connect with it so much
@@lurk7967 bahaha. 100% Canadian bud I suggest you look him up. Born in Ontario Canada. Biggest band in Canada in the 90s and early 2000's
@@staygold902 He can be born in Canada and still be Germanic.
He'll I am born in Canada and I'm a Hebrew however I also have Prussian in me. Actually royalty from the Prussian line of the Hohenzollern family.....
One of my Hebraic ancestors was a duchess of that family they didn't know she was a Hebrew she was excommunicated for running off with the gardener she loved..
After World war 1 and the fall of Prussia, foreign Jews were exiled from Germanic lands specifically Bavaria and Prussia, and probably Swabia Aswell. The rest of my Hebraic family boarded trains and left dressed as women to avoid military service.
But the blood is still their and because its the Hohenzollern family and the line goes through my mother and grandmother, not my aunt this means I am a far but direct descendant of Kaiser Willhelm the 2nd and the Queen of England...
You should study your lineage I know I'm royalty because of these family stories and my DNA confirms it only 7% Germanic Europe because I'm Hebrew not Ashkenazi.
I know I'm from Israel because I can commands Arabian horses like they are my kin and I love kvass.
@@lurk7967 my original statement was that it was a Canadian masterpiece. Which it it's. The band is Canadian and so is Raine. Every human has lineage. Your over complicating it. He is Canadian born and raised.
this song is very powerful, if u listen closely
Shouldn’t blame anyone for your life.
We are our own person.
Innuendos ∀ For All.
Life is full of good and bad.
Learning Curve in this world.
Believe in the processes.
I love that they resisted the obvious temptation to bring in much simpler drums at 0:45 . The mixing is great, because they're still subdued--but there's a LOT going on and it doesn't amp up the song. Great writing, great mixing, great album, great band.
+tuanomsoc You're not kidding. That drum beat is cooking. Really does elevate the song to a whole new level. Perhaps this song wouldn't be the same without that drum part. Thanks for your perspective :)
+tuanomsoc and that bass guitar part!!!
knew and loved this song for years. 59 now, lost my dad in 2015, when he was 93. last saw/ talked to him at age 85. ...the changes in the man... lot of guilt, but in the end reconciled. great man, never knew. love you dad. always regret. some lines on my headstone or urn.
This song reminds me of when I was doing drugs.. It had a hold of me for a year. ×if I don't make it know that I loved you all along just like sunny days we ignore because we are all dumb and jaded.× I was hard into crack. I loved my mom all along even if I didn't make it.
Nice! Take it easy... A day at a time...
Nice! Take it easy... A day at a time...
His voice is so angelic.

Luke Steenson I saw them in concert last night it soooo took me back 💗💗💗💗
Saw them with an old high school bud a couple weeks ago, they open for Bush and Live. Totally nalstatolgic concert. Live tore the roof off the place. Still rocking in 2019!!!
Keep on grinding my friend
Love this song so much. One of my favorite songs of all time
I'm listening to this song at 4am :)
One of the most underrated and underappreciated bands ever.
I miss my dad
This song resonates even more now, RIP Dad
2024 anyone🎉
Every month
ok this has to be there best song they ever made im proud to know that this is a Canadian band too these guys rock
Germanic look at the faces
I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years
We hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
I walked around my room, not thinking
Sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much like somebody else
I never thought I would just bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
And if I don't make it known that I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that we ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong
Thank you
Absolutely incredible song!! Never heard it out the radio, but most great songs in general are hidden within the album
Is anyone here because you lost a loved one from an overdose?
Too many to count. Such a little insignificant thing can take so much away.
❤️
No I lost one to a cult
Ex girlfriend overdosed on fentanyl.... Left behind twins and a young baby to an abusive baby daddy who got out of prison
Es
Stuck in quarantine. It’s 4am and I just woke up. This song just randomly popped in my head.
