Our Lady Peace - The Wonderful Future

[CyruzDraxs]

This song was way underrated in its time. Still one of my favourite songs of all time. :)

[Leikeze6]

I heard this song after getting the albums and I must say I think it is their best song. Had a dream where I was in a room where people were sleeping, this song was playing and I was sitting across from a girl about to play a game, a monitor in the middle glowed our faces. i looked at the monitor and it showed my playlist on my computer. After waking up I picked the song out from the image of the monitor from the dream. Was this song, relaxation took over.

[fantana501]

I used to fall asleep to this song almost every night

[KurtsHead]

@fantana501 me too, but with this whole album, when it was first released, still a great album.

[jeannie69able]

great song best on the album

[bittersweettragedy1]

This song is beautiful. This speaks to me more than any other song they've made I use to listen to this song walking around the forest when the sun was beginning to set. The magic in the light, shadows, and the music. Magical.

[NeRo2pt0]

Awesome song, brings back some good memories for sure

[sehrat54000]

lady gaga ? WHAT ? ARE U SERIOUS ?

[AmnahWorld567]

The hidden track at the end of Spiritual Machines fears the hell out of me. I'm such a loser. I hope I am not the only one!

[tgarci2]

What a blast from the past, I haven't listened to this cd in years. Used to love OLP and jam out to their stuff from naveed to spiritual machines pretty hard...the good old high school days. Brings back so many memories, what a great song

[MrGuerillache]

Read the book upon which this is based and compare/contrast it with world we live in. Strong Orson Scott Card elements, the possible digital reality of immortality.

[sitstandnow]

one guy wanted to be noticed as the waste of skin and organs and bones

[voivod]

shockingly bad

[shakermaker74]

Oh what a tune!!!! My Favourite OLP song by a million miles.Genius.

[depechekin]

My grandmother just passed away a week ago and I dedicate this song to her.

[nx2jeezy]

i don't know how many times am i going to debate with myself about which one of their songs are my favorites...all i know is that i can just put their cd in the car stereo and drive all day...damn they're good...

[888greg888]

The hidden track after this song on the album is soo strange. But it's awesome. I remember I had fallen asleep listening to this song, then woke up twenty minutes later with the hidden track playing. It kind of freaked me out at the time lmao.

[darkalchemist90]

@888greg888 The Same here ! XD I was fucking frightened XD!

[Splatterbugz]

@888greg888 That happened to me too, it was weird!

[cbappa2]

no dislikes, thats what i like to see motherfuckers

[Zeronautic]

I swear God made this album; Our Lady Peace are just the messengers. The best song on their best record.

[lukreto]

@Zeronautic totally agree!

[kylechomcy]

no u guys got it all wrong he can still pull it off just fine the promblem is he sings now in a deeper pitch so throwing his voice from very low to very high causes thos promblems but like ex like this song he things in a nazely way so hitting the higher notes its a easier transition.,

[sageSPH]

lol you uploaded this on my birthday

[joe1guzek]

wish i could have seen this songs original video, if there ever was one. loved listening to this cd while working graveyard then playing frisbee golf at sunrise

[drpepperphd86]

Best OLP album IMHO. Can't believe it's been about ten years since this came out.

[joe1guzek]

@drpepperphd86 oh my gosh i know... almost starting to feel old lol

[joe1guzek]

totally forgot how amazing this cd/song was. i missed you OLP

[cdonnie75]

The reverb on his voice is amazing in the chorus, this song is a beautifully composed piece with a cool jazz drum beat and good fazer/chorus type affects on the guitar!!! This song has no reason to be overlooked or not be a huge radio hit!! It makes no sense to me how it isn't very popular!!!

[Soccerfreak1219]

Saw OLP on Saturday...they were absolutely amazing :D. I loved the show and this song haha!!!

[Starseed88]

Just heard this song live in Montreal last week....it was incredible!!

[SpiderBaby]

The album in its entirety live... I can't believe I'll never be able to see that...

[cdonnie75]

@SpiderBaby same here dammit, i had to see clumsy, i love that album and know every inch of it but it was distorted, drowned out, and very amatuer when they played it in the first set. The second set with all of the other songs saved them from dissapointing me!! IT WAS AMAZING!!!! AND I LOVE OUR LADY PEACE WITH A HUGE PASSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Swirty]

damn you tickets being so expensive

[AlbertInSanAntonio]

aww this song brings back memorys

[xBLaCkHaWkS]

I've been listening to OLP since I was 9-10? Granted that was 2003 basically, but I've never heard this song before. Never bought Spiritual Machines, unfortunately.

[ian0708]

spiritual machines is my favorite album in general, our lady peace deserve so much more credit for this, it still sounds fresh today,

[Slacktoo]

Guess what bitches....

SPIRITUAL MACHINES TOUR IN 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE WONDERFUL FUTURE WILLBE PLAYED LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2001!!!!!!!!!!!

EPIC WIN

[MysteriousMagic]

I'm standing in line for tickets tomorrow! I can hardly lay still in bed. Aha.

[jmart1333]

when is it around windsor, ontario?

[sageSPH]

lol uploaded on my birthday. awesome song.

[goodgodwhatabeatnik]

The height of OLP was Spiritual Machines, and arguably this song specifically. New album was a step in the right direction, but it's hard to ever duplicate what they accomplished on this album.

[dshaw8771]

i have been listenin to these guys since i was 7, and i still cant get enough of them.

[maynardsdick1]

right now i am high. all i can do is sit and giggle uncontrollably because this song is unlike anything else i've ever heard.

[Slacktoo]

Jeremy's (the drummer) work in this song is fuckin amazing

[shithead282]

Wow, pretty sweet- ass song, no complaints, it's sick!

[b182forever]

One of the most beautiful songs of my time. It's hard to even begin to express how much I love this song.

[MelindaxXxRose]

It Has That Tune That Just Makes You Want To Get Up And Dance! I Love This Song! :)

[chocalatysmurfs]

there are certain songs i can't sing when it comes to falsetto's and they at first hurted but i learned how to use it and even car crash has become the easiest thing i wish he didnt lose the falsetto thats unique, but overall still a great band

[Haku548]

This song evokes so much of my imagination. I literally get lost in it. Their best song.

[fadingcadence]

@Haku548 I accidentally voted down your comment! I agree about the imagination bit... I loved sitting in the yard with the sun on my face, eyes closed, listening to this song. First time I've listened to it in years since someone stole my cd's cos I was stupid enough to bring them to school...

[joe1guzek]

@fadingcadence they still have them for sale on amazon, someone stole mine too.  used to love staying up til 3 am listening to this cd

[musicoverdoseislove]

man sometimes i wish was not 15, i didnt discover this band until last year. i wish i was older back when they first came out so that i would have been a fan since the begining and could have experienced watching them mature musically and improve over time like i can when the more recent bands right now. oh well what can you do. either way Our Lady Peace is the best.

[colourfulbiscuits]

same im a few years older than you are and ij ust discovered them too. now im just listening back to all their wondeful albums and i really love them.

[wonderboy7423]

ive been there since the start, and as long as the music reaches your ear its all good man

[angryparrot]

Man... OLP was really at their creative peak on this album. And Jeremy's drumming here is totally off the wall. Funky stuff :D

[Grayhawk33]

yip, O.L.P at their peak

[Kpharte]

Ohhh nostalgia....OLP needs to make music like this again.

[Msgrv32]

I get a tad sentimental as this song exemplifies sad but continual stories I live.

[twiggyzappa]

My favorite track on the album for sure.

[Redomar]

One of the best OLP songs from hands down the best album ever, fuck what everyone else says.

[jumpyumpgump]

possibly the greatest thing ever recorded

[MusicSmack]

that is one sick falsetto. amazing beat too.

[Slacktoo]

I goddamn keep hoping they'll do it live, but I don't think Raine likes to use this type of falsetto anymore :(

[hpswtrke42]

if thats the case- kinda sad, i think the falsetto is big part of what makes them so great- makes his voice so unique...ofcourse they are still good without it, but the falsetto is really nice

[angryparrot]

I'm pretty sure Raine's not doing his falsetto as much anymore is because it's becoming more and more difficult to do it / it's starting to get painful as he gets a bit older. If you listen to him on the Live DVD, he really struggles with it at times. He can't physically do those crazy falsettos he used to do in the chorus on 'Superman's Dead' anymore.

It really is sad. Poor guy ;(

[deedu]

I can actually sort of corroborate this - growing up I could hit falsettos similar to Raine's - that was back when I was anywhere from 14 to 18, but these days it's pretty much impossible to sound good doing it, and it hurts like a mother. I really do miss those falsettos, but what can ya do?

[godroxdahowse]

Has something happened to his voice er sumthin? I'm 34 and still hit falsettos very well.

Is he okay?

[brocklock09]

He's been singing so long and so much it's probably getting to him.

[lohello567]

@angryparrot Actually thats absolute horseshit my friend (:, Raine does not sing the way he used to simply because of Bob Rocks presence in the studio, as a band they really changed after using Bob Rock as a producer - and I don't know if you know but he was the one who told Raine to stop singing like that - so maybe he feels a little "weirded" out by it now.

[angryparrot]

@lohello567 That thing about Bob Rock telling him not to use falsetto anymore may be true (although I can't find any interview that says that), but it doesn't explain why he doesn't currently bust it out in concert. It also doesn't explain why when he does, he can barely get it anywhere near where he used to. Finally, there's a reason they ditched Bob Rock. I doubt his ghost would still be making Raine feel "weirded" out.

[kennygmang]

o he can still sing...he can just lsing lower better

[coolwhoami]

Well you're in luck, they are on a tour and are eaturing this album in its entirety.

[ostararockband]

underrated OLP tune for sure

[Slacktoo]

Best song ever.
