# 47 Our Lady Peace (Healthy In Paranoid Times)

Like David Crowder, you'll see Our Lady Peace multiple times on this list. In rock star years these guys would be considered elder statesmen. Since '94 OLP has offered up catchy, dark, thought provoking albums. With the virtuosity of Mike Turner on guitar and the unusual vocal range of Raine Maida they have worked their way into the hearts of millions. Steve Mazur joined the band in 02 after Turner left the band due to creative differences. "Healthy..." was Mazur's second album with the band. The one goal for this album was to create a collection of songs that would give the band members goose bumps. They locked themselves in a studio until each song achieved the desired effect. The end result was a highly political and emotional album.
The album opens with the hauntingly powerful "Angels Losing Sleep" where Maida describes the end of the world as a parallel for the current state of the world. The declaration that he'll wait through the storm is both uplifting and evocative. "Will the Future Blame Us" is a relevant question and a chilling thought process of a man thinking outside of himself about the implications of bad decisions on a personal and political level. Challenging lines are sprinkled throughout the entire album, but they are most prominent in "Where Are You." "Did Jesus get it right, or is the devil behind the light?" With lines like these Maida paints a picture of someone questioning their faith. Accompanied by this line, "everything I've believed in has lied to me, but this could be the greatest day of my life," leaves hope allowing the character to realize that there is reasoning in questions and there is more to this life. This zest for life and zeal for seeking truth is utterly palpable throughout the album. Songs like "The World on a String" and "Don't Stop" lend a light hearted and hopeful attitude to the album. "Al Genina" is the most haunting and chilling song on the album. The words come off as a prayer as Maida calls for God to leave the light on for us.
OLP manages to produce a hopeful and amiguous spiritual album that you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere in mainstream music. With this album OLP proves that the heart is the last thing that age takes.

My friend and I were recently discussing about how technology has become so integrated in our day to day lives. Reading this post makes me think back to that discussion we had, and just how inseparable from electronics we have all become.


I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further develops, the possibility of uploading our memories onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I dream about every once in a while.

Hey guys,

I'm seeking help for the kids of Haiti.

I'm doing this for a non-profit haiti group that gives their time to

And yes, they're legitimate.

It would be great if you could help

Check for a toddler sitting alone, as well as two women seated together. When you may have your meal in hand, walk more than to where she or there're seated and find out if you may join them. If you're trustworthy and straightforward with them, your probabilities are pretty excellent.

2- Do some considering. Previously you even take into account going on the mall to satisfy a young girl, sit all by yourself down and do some really serious considering.

If you have been going in circles with tracking down what you need to learn about [url=http://muachungdeal.com/thoi-trang.html]Thoi trang nam[/url], then you are in store for a treat, right now. As you know, it can be highly irritating when you are not entirely sure of what you need in order to move forward with certainty. Hardly anyone knows anybody online, so when you need important information or help it becomes critical deciding on the source of it. That is one thing every person who has looked for information has experienced. What we will do for you is talk about some solid details regarding this topic, and you will be able to have a firm understanding of what to do next.

The general complexities of women's and men's style

Both women and men can feel the demands of maintaining their clothing up-to-date and in season, yet men's fashion frequently seems a lot easier. Of program, for both genders, outfits and style choices can be quite as delicate, and there are lots of'stylish'things that could rapidly become fashion faux pas - who can say they often see people travelling in 70s flames? On the other hand, men's style includes a few staple things that can exist forever - which man is likely to watch out of position with a good-quality, tailored suit, for example? Choose basic cuts, colors and fabrics and you'll never look out-of-place.

Why basic men's fashion is timeless

The traditional man's suit has hardly changed for over a hundred years. True, there are numerous versions for various situations, nevertheless they are all common in their pursuit of a smart, sharp look for the individual. The good thing about classic style for men is that it is efficiently stylish effortlessly cool. A well-groomed lady will typically look his sharpest in a well-tailored suit, and this is a testament to the style of such clothing. A suit will be used to work in several careers due to the professional look it offers to the individual, instilling a sense of respect and trust. Equally a match will undoubtedly be worn to many social occasions, such as a tuxedo to a black-tie event. This extraordinary versatility that enables suits to be worn in virtually all situations is what gives it its amazing side and a lasting invest men's fashion.

Contemporary movements in traditional men's style

Although common men's styles can never be changed, it is interesting to note that changes in men's fashion trends have brought certain common clothes back to fashion. The reputation of vintage clothing, specially, has had back a wide-variety of classic models into men's closets, such as that of the dandy gentleman. 'Dandy'is a term used to refer to men who dress yourself in a classic yet elegant way, working in a sophisticated manner and placing value on appearance. This tendency for almost'over-the-top'traditional style for men is apparent from events like the'Tweed Run', where men and women of all ages dress yourself in obviously Victorian-style clothing and take to the streets on vintage bicycles - with lots of the men sporting impressive mustaches! This really is only one of several types of research displaying the resurrection of such variations. There are also numerous blogs online which give attention to gentlemanly type - such as'The Dandy Project'and'Dandyism'- as well as entire websites such as'The Art of Manliness'specialized in giving articles on basic men's fashion and grooming.

In summary, although specific issues with common men's style could be cut back as new styles, the basic garments which they are based on will never slip out of fashion.
