MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By July 2nd of 1997…

this voice was still cutting

through rock radio.

Our Lady Peace

with “Superman’s Dead.”

(Music Cut #2)

This is peak early Raine Maida –

like his voice

is trying to crack

through the ceiling.

And “Superman’s Dead”

sounds like Our Lady Peace

took a comic-book headline

and turned it

into a rock song.

(Music Cut #3)

But Raine Maida later explained it

less like a superhero story

and more like

the loss of innocence

after the band’s first album.

The business got real,

everything moved fast,

and the heroic version

of the world disappeared.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Do you worry that you’re not liked
How long ’til you break
You’re happy cause you smile
But how much can you fake.” – Our Lady Peace
