Our Lady Peace'd

I was just driving back from Joe's house and I had the radio on 94.9 because our Lady Peace's Naveed just started playing and I had not heard it in a long time and I listened to the song and heard it in a whole new way, as it brought back memories of who I was and how I was thinking in the past.

I listened and sang and got goosebumps, when the song was ending I questioned how perfect it was that I needed to hear that, and then it was over so I changed the channel to 102.1 and Naveed started playing AGAIN on that station right at the very beginning....it was near seamless!

Hmmmm ...any doubt out the window. 

Here are the lyrics for the song:


NAVEED


are you there, and is it comfortable? 
did you want to escape, try to escape the 
population? 
the pressure is deceiving, 
and for you particularly should we let a 
young man die? 
let him die if he wants to? 
I can't live here anymore 
it's hard when you reach for that floor 
and 
and there's something that tears me 
inside, so I can't go 

brother are you there? 
now tell me is it wonderful 
or were you hoping to find something a 
little more? 

climbing down the hours I need to know 
now 
do the hands of time only rule this 
chapter 
i'll have to try once again, i'll have to try 
when I want to 
there he's on his knees again 
trying hard to understand 
why Naveed would let a young man die 
convinced that he might break he reaches 
for that phone 
and then another day has gone

I cant live here anymore.



Hit me like a tank. 
ha ha. 

Songs have always came on the radio in a magical way for me, but just in traveling a short distance having an old, impactful song come on twice in a row seamlessly on different stations, is pretty rare, so I was compelled to look into it further. 

Still such a great song.
