Our Lady Peace - 4am

[@Lemonhead86]

My dad passed away from depression when I was 14. I remember this song comforting me. It's absolutely beautiful. Im 37 now and the ending still gives me goosebumps. Miss you, dad. Be kind to one another, people. And especially be kind to yourself. You matter. ✌️

[@mikekelly6023]

Thank you 🙏 sorry about your father I lost mine as well when I was a young lad then lost my step dad of 20 years and as I type I’m in the hospital with my father-in law who’s 50/50 live or die so I needed to hear that I matter and be kind to each other thanks my friend 🙏🇨🇦

[@turfturbo]

The song was on their second album released in 1998. From WiKipedia: The lyrical content in the song was about a dream vocalist Raine Maida had. In the dream, his father was dying in the hospital, but he arrives too late to say that he loved him. The song thoroughly explains it in direct context. This has become another fan-favourite Our Lady Peace song.

[@patrickgrondines9520]

the album clumsy came out in 1997 not 1998

[@ratedrsuperstar1148]

This band should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.....at least 7 songs we can sing by heart...and great live....!

[@patrickgrondines54]

or the Canadian music hall of fame

[@lurk7967]

@@patrickgrondines54 they are Dutch.... Close enough

[@mikekelly6023]

No they are Canadian ask Raine Maida 💪🇨🇦

[@christianisweet]

Im a 17 year old dude. Never cry not a weird emo kid or anything. This song made my eyes water. Went and listened to alot of there other songs. Every song has a lesson in it. By far the best lyrics ive ever heard.

[@shanghaied66]

It's been 14 years, and this song still nearly moves me to tears each time I hear it.

[@RedceLL1978]

Probably one of the most underrated songs from the rock alternative era. Everytime i play this song to someone, they've never heard it and they instantly like it. For those who do know this song, it holds a special place for alot of people that lost their dads or anyone else they've lost. as i'm sure it does for Raine and OLP. And i know it does for me. Rest in peace, dad.

[@mchevre]

I don't doubt you but how could anyone not know this song if they listened to 90s rock? Maybe its because I'm from Detroit and our alternative rock radio station (88.7) is actually from Windsor, Canada (directly across the Detroit river) so they play Canadian bands much more often.

[@RedceLL1978]

mrgoat86 yeah i was in upstate ny at the time. "Clumsy" was pretty huge at the time, and 4am got some airplay too but not even remotely as much as Clumsy or Superman's Dead did and i always wondered why since it's such a powerful and listenable song. Seemed to deserve so much more recognition than it ended up getting. Though we know it so well, you'd be surprised at how many people simply have never heard it, at least around where I'm from.

[@miadees]

Joshua Jones Funny, I was also in upstate NY during that time and I must have seen OLP play at SPAC at least 3 times during "Big Day Out" tours and 4am did NOT, as you say get airplay frequency that Superman's Dead, Clumsy or Is Anybody Home? I am now in my 40's and stumbled on this for the first time. Even 102.7 EQX out of VT didn't play it. Great song, under-rated, as is the band. They don't make good music like this anymore. I am happy to re-invigorate the songs of my 20's and 30's . Nothing but CDs during my road trips..lol

[@louismartinezjr9617]

God this makes me feel old. And someone calling this an oldie doesn't help. But this song is still good.

[@Beniamin6665]

Right. Growing up in the late 90’s early 2000’s trying to make something of your self and never seeing your self get old.

[@PointlessExistence.]

Now I am 42 yo, I am enjoying this music videos of 90s bands which were not available for me to watch during my teenage years in a remote village. Rock radio stations saved me. lol

[@trayahzz537]

Love OLP, ah the days of Muchmusic. Remember watching it all summer. Use to play this song and rest of the album outloud while driving.

[@VIX3N13]

Tray Ahzz me too, love this whole album

[@Abdb2023]

I just downloaded all of OLP a few weeks ago. I realized I hadn’t listen to them since CDs.

[@bunnyhead71]

how this band skated under the radar without much popularity in the US is baffling to me..

[@henryboy21]

i've been playing this song repeatedly for a couple of days now, and it just keeps getting better and better! incredible song

[@satanisaboxofcheese]

He's like a walking image of the father that I never was close to.. but he's losing himself to drugs. I remember hearing Our Lady Peace on the radio when my depression first started at 13 after my dad left,it showed me the emotional side of life for the first time, and now he has shown me this song.But I can't lose another father figure.And I can't save you,what do I do? It's painful if I stay but it would break my heart to leave, and try to show you what you're doing to everybody who loves you

[@rdrev]

my relationship with my dad is not so good till when my mom died.. right now i think that my dad is the best dad ever!!

[@unstoppable022]

Today I got a phone call that my father, who I barely speak to, is going to die soon. I live in another city and was going to download some music for the drive back home when I discovered this song. I had never heard it before, yet it's as if it were written for me at this moment. I wish I would've made better use of the time we had together, as he's heavily sedated and probably won't remember his last few days and my return. I'm glad there is music like this to help me get through.

[@Thecockatiel_Maya]

I'm too late but....may he rest in peace 🕊️

[@sukmiwang66]

Such an underrated band. They're so good

[@Onager8]

+Jim Kelly Until Mike Turner left... then they started writing songs for elevators.

[@LyndenLegault]

+Ken King Gravity was alright, but for the most part your right

[@tripdefect87]

I first came across them through, like I'm sure many here, through Chris Benoit. I loved his theme song of "Whatever" by Our Lady Peace, even though it was kind of almost a morbid reflection of the true monster that laid burid deep inside him, sleeping; only to be released once Eddie Gurrero left this world all too soon

[@Beanykitty]

someone keeps using this song to try to convince me he cares.....I've stopped believing it....way to exploit a song douchebag.

[@erictaylor1770]

Some of the best bands out there are underrated bud"! Because the mainstream wants to decide... What is cool and what should be listened to...

[@woodstock018]

My friend loved this song. He loved our lady peace more than anything else. RIP. I wish it never ended, ill never forget you.

[@martindaimari448]

Man wish i could go back to the 90s. So much shit these days. Miss high school :(

[@Dixoncyder519K9oA]

this is real music I wish talented bands like this were still around every new artist is garbage compared to the musicians from the 90s

[@Cassie8810]

My dad's had a stroke and is very sick in the hospital right now. I've never had a very good relationship with him, so I'm watching this and bawling.

[@TheHardcorejoe]

One of THE best songs ever written... hands down.

[@12hami99]

listend to this song over and over again my first trip to europe ... so many memories ... great tune

[@vanessamarie8658]

wow, over a decade ago and this song still gives me chills. Why can't music now be as good as it used to be...very sad

[@JT-xt8qb]

times have changed!

[@lostbirdsproduction]

Vanessa Marie damn

[@Sambeauch]

I truely melt when i see Raine!! But his voice is incredable. He is one of a kind and i know that god did something right when he created him.

[@1LastMile]

back when much music was great.

[@FounderJr]

I just saw them in June, front row, i think about 10000 people were there, it was an incredible concert!

[@channelswimmer]

I came looking for 90's comfort music and left in tears realizing I need to re-connect with my father.

[@56Tyskie]

Always makes me think of my father. Never had an easy relationship with him but he shaped and prepared me for the world. Know that I loved him all along

[@SuperSleepy77]

As a teen this song was my crutch to make it through another day no matter the problem. My father is 70 this year and we still don't talk much but this song always reminded me of him.

[@caribbeanNO1]

im a canadian born man desending from the carribean, amazing band, since time, nuff love from all over the world

[@spoom1234]

All of the OLP songs are deep, Raine is the greatest lyric writer of all time.

[@SassyTheWhiteMaltese]

man this takes me back to the 90's, i wish i could go back in time and relive my teen years. sigh.

[@melchermp]

Dad with a drinking problem feeling inataquit with sibblings or with family great song great band...they help me cop with my problems i feel the pain in his songs.

[@CrrAzZYyY]

"i blame myself for being so much like somebody else." i love this part. great song!

[@unionjackboy]

My fave band of all time and this is possibly one of my fave songs of all time.

[@DeeCuriousCat]

It's a great song with a great message. It reminds me of all the wasted time I've spent hating those who wronged me through the years. Hate is all that's left when you're all alone and you have nobody else to blame for the misery in your life. Life is short. Live like there is no tomorrow, forgive like today is your last, and love like you will never see those you love again. Make every second count!

[@poppaluv]

I remember seeing these guys at the HOB for about $5 in the mid '90s. Hung out and had them sign some posters that were put up. Too bad I lost all my memorabilia in Katrina..

[@TheAucoin]

I remember my older brother listening to OLP when I was in the first grade. He was old enough to go to all their shows and I was stuck listening to them on CD. Awesome music!

[@selenecontreni2238]

Listened to this song for years. Always loved it but three weeks after losing my grandmother who I didn't always have the best relationship with but did the best she could...it's taken a different meaning. Love you grandma and I'll see you again.

[@FrancisRoines]

I really love this Song and I really like Our Lady Peace. I went to their concert 2 years ago during the Heritage Festival in North Bay. I'm Italian and from that moment before I began to talk about them to all my friends.

[@lochnesswilliams4820]

remember when MUCH played music? Pepperridge farm remembers

[@patrickgrondines7997]

i remember seeing this video on a show called now and then on much more music (the sister channel of much music that got shut down in 2016 that became gusto later CTV life channel) 4 am played right after angels losing sleep also by olp

[@poppaluv]

I met them when they played the HOB in NOLA. Nice dudes. Signed a poster i ripped from the club wall. put it up and it was the only thing still attached to my wall after katrina. Also, music has been shit on the radio since '00. Glad i was a teen in the 80s. #oldfartyellingatclouds

[@kevinmcclure4211]

One of the best bands and the best songs of all time.

[@sanitarium4]

This is so Old Skool! Brings me back.

[@shaugs4208]

This song got me through my youth... i love our lady peace!!!

[@cyanidexsunset]

I may not be American but that comment deserves a hats off to you. To you this song brings hope, but it is those serve their countries who give hope to so many more :)

[@dumbdude3535]

This is pretty much the story of my life we all got problems and its good to have songs that makes you feel like someone is actually there that feels something the same way , makes you feel not alone a great song i love our lady peace helped me through alot of bullshit in my life

[@LeDiskoLove99]

This song is so amazing, it's sad but at the same time comforting. I love it!

[@doubtfuldrawing]

Whoo I'm seeing today in Brantford Ontario along with Live, Headstone and Bif Naked!! First concert every when to was OLP!! Go figure my second was Lamb of God, Slayer and Cannibal Corpse. This will be the second time I've seen OLP in 20 years!! Live in 15! Big in 10 and Headstone a year! It's rianing here in southern Ontario, perfect :). I mean perfect in a good way haha

[@ResidentBob79]

I think of my friend who passed due to cancer in 2017 when I hear this song, especially the chorus... And if I don't make it known that I've loved you so along Just like sunny days that We ignore because We're all dumb and jaded Rest easy, Crystal 💔

[@HudsonMacReady]

This has to be hands down one of the most depressing, but most meaningful song I've ever heard. I've always loved OLP, there's a message in every song.

[@dakshanyania]

man o man, the concert they did last night was AMAZING!!! especially this song how he got down in the crowd and then stood on top of the garbage can and let people sing the beginning!!!!! it was off the hook!!!!!!!!:) best band ever!!!!

[@supersweetsupersour]

Great song for today! Happy Father's day, it may be the day to rekindle things, I know I'm going to do that.

[@bunnyhead71]

masterpiece of an album..one of the best songs ever written

[@jodiwaite3937]

one of my favorite songs. could listen to it over and over. #LoveOLP

[@alq84]

what an amazing song. Our Lady Peace was such an underrated band, its too bad not as many people know about their music. Raine is a fucking genius

[@ratedrsuperstar1148]

Happy Fathers Day 2020.... I miss you Dad.... I love you Happy Fathers Day

[@furangel]

I love OLP!!! I miss the music from the 90's...I'm so excited I'm gonna go see them in Oct.!!!

[@DrunkenLeprechaunPro]

He's indeed quite talented! Really powerful song..

[@Slyboy0070]

siiiick, just saw OLP at 2010 vancouver ozone venue and man they are so good... proud to have them as canadians.

[@corolla97]

well said ! i miss this era of music

[@sethfeldman27]

That drum fill at the end of the last pre chorus is really awesome. Wow

[@suzyqb1975]

I got one of those "phone calls" the same day my hubby brought home OLP tix...these lyrics speech such truth...

[@mindfreakiscriss]

I seen them in July. They were amazing. We may have had to wait an extra half hour, but they were worth it! They are amazing live! OLP FORVER!

[@Private.G]

brings back so many memories ( music and life use to be way different when this came out )

[@LowKeyContender]

i love it when he sings high notes loud.

[@ThomasintheMind]

our lady peace was my fav band for 3 years straight. damn good. i know the lyrics to most of thier song. love it

[@marquenzo]

Very action packed for a song of that subject matter. Passionate.

[@kevinjackson9882]

They played this one when I saw them at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis. the audience pretty much just took over singing the song, and it was a moment I don't think I'll ever forget.

[@RhionAkiraNight]

i forgot how much i like this song. first time i heard it i loved and i fell in love all over again

[@darksayese]

childhood memories, i remeber this when i was 14, now im 22 and its till sound good, wish i could go back in time

[@incutool]

Some of Taggert's most tasteful drumming ever! Drives the ambience! Great song!

[@jmetay224]

YES! Benjamin Wells! Fits my morbid ass to a T😜 I agree, they are/were def under rated fo shizz !

[@starryrayn]

great music....I miss this kind of music

[@omgudontknow]

a phone call from my dad yesterday made me listen to this song as the tears flowed

[@pollywolly72]

Totally love this song, makes me think about how life can sometimes have different roads to hapiness.

[@steamymuffin]

Their drumming was so creative and different. It's just so fun to listen to. Not just an easy simple 4 count but complex and layered with different techniques that most other bands didn't do.

[@sockzy123]

our lady peace has really, really beautiful music.

[@williestroker4719]

Grade 8 end of year trip in Toronto first time I heard them before much and the radio tea party was another good band

[@17.2miles2]

I love the kit on this track. Makes want to cry and tear my apartment to pieces, then listen to it again a somberly clean everything up. Lol

[@BeatZoloft]

This song makes me think of my father who passed away, this month 2 years ago. " I blamed my father for the wasted years" Had the chance to say good bye didnt believe when he told me he had cancer, when he finally came back into my life at 14. I felt as if he was using it as an excuse to talk to me again. Met him once in my life and when I got the call he left made me feel like the worst person ever. Wishing I could of gotten to know him more and so he can meet his Grandson.. RIP Dad

[@dpdgaf]

Brings back soo many memories Love OLP!!!!!

[@BellaBeauJanggles]

Man I love this song! brings me back a few years back!!

[@marshallcruncher]

this song reminds me of my grade 8 trip to a water park. My best friend showed me this album, this song. He died in a car accident two years later on christmas day. Its 11 years later and i stil miss u dude, c u on the other side

[@KatOzsoy]

This song has so much meaning. Depends on your current situation but regardless it has something to do with so many peoples lives. Wonderful lyrics and it doesn't hurt he sings it so well ;)

[@whisperienced]

I relate to this song because I was a huge OLP fan when my dad died and this song just related.

[@yobrosclan7889]

first time I heard this song I cried

[@2anamaly]

Thanks for sharing. enjoyed seeing your interpretation of one of my all time favorite songs :)

[@jwcolburn]

very nice song. This is another one of my favorites they do!

[@mrpeanutbuster6599]

this song is one of the best in terms of message then why people always looking for those none sense songs these days why many people hate rock😭😭😭 so sad for this band they deserve more than million views

[@justsomedude69]

Man, all those years later and this is still relevant, and necessary.

[@crazyevilmonkey]

damn I love Our Lady Peace! their music has helped me through some tough times. Rock on OLP!

[@fatboy4200]

our lady peace kicks ass! saw them live 3 times

[@Mavb67]

[@Flashcrawl666]

really beautiful song. hope they play some concerts here in europe next year!

[@jickoy08]

90's power! love this..one of my favorite song..!

[@WoodysPickle]

he got me into singing and the bassist got me into playing bass i've been a huge fan since 96

[@goontermg]

Jeremy taggert and Mike Turner absolutely make this song. Such raw explosive emotion with a loud undertone of complicated simplicity.

[@kinggorth]

I loved this CD. Always considered them the "Canadian Pumpkins". Such awesome music.

[@canmoore]

Its hard to put into words how music influenced your teenage years. I was in grade 5 in 1994, so I grew up listening to all these amazing post-grundge alternative bands that made up the mide-90's. Every generation has its music, Our Lady Peace, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Stone temple pilots... these were the bands that I grew up to.

[@DarrylCross]

That's how I always heard it too... and I never really questioned it before, because it's one of the misheard lyrics that does make sense and has meaning.

[@rubbersoul70]

I swear this song was written for me! love it

[@TaBheL]

i've been searching for this video!!! i'm so happy now....
