For anyone that's having a hard time: I am so sorry you are having a hard time. Please remember that you are capable of surviving whatever you're going through. Look for the positive things in life that make you happy. Do those things as much as possible. If you can't think of any positive things to do, look for inspiration from others that do. Find things to do that you are interested in. Feed the positive side of you. It's in there. It may be hard to find, and you'll probably have to go through the negative sides of you to get there. But you can do it. I promise you it's possible.

[@luciouspontorro3741]

Life without hard times is no life at all.

[@laurenanderson7823]

Not true. Lots of great (misguided)kids making great tunes

[@jeffreydallas6047]

It's possible. I changed my whole life. Which I named the trauma train. I still have shitty times but I learned they don't matter. Minimize the variables that can cause problems, maximize opportunities and be near people you want to be like. If they have what you want they are worth having around. If they have nothing but problems you don't want no part of that. My life is better than ever and I'm still working on making it something I can call great. Best of luck through your hard times.

But then he smiled and put on this song and i was blown away and utterly confused at the same time when i heard those lyrics in the chorus. Been a fan ever since. Now that friend has passed away and i think of him everytime i hear an OLP song. I'll be a fan for life thanks to him. RIP, Randy, still listening down here.

Being bipolar as well, the weight of my illness had brought me close to suicide on several occasions. This song truly helped me through some rough patches.

[@EnglishTimewithMrChris]

My grandma died from Alzheimer's. I think the hardest thing about it when I was a child and she was in the earlier stages of the disease was trying to keep her away from mirrors. She didn't recognise the person in the mirror as herself and would try to talk to it and wanted to always introduce me to the person she was talking to in the mirror. I always had to try to keep the door to the bathroom closed when she didn't need it and tried to direct her away from the bathroom after she was done so she wouldn't get stuck talking to the mirror.

[@fabianbrown144]

47 years old Still Love this Song

[@thereginacarpenter2230]

Brings back memories

[@maxthreshold]

From the Lead singer Raine Maida: "There's a connection between the song 'Clumsy' and it being the title of the album. There's a line in the song that says: 'I'll be waving my hand/watching you drown/watching you scream', it's about seeing something but not seeing it for what it really is. It's about decisions. That image of 'waving your hand/watching you drown,' is about seeing someone in the water, they're waving at you, and you're just waving back, not realizing that they're drowning. Or you think they're drowning, but they're just waving at you. It's those weird situations where you just take something at face value, but you can be so wrong. You have to look deeper and question things. I think it's something that too many people don't do these days. We're so inundated with the f--king media, and you just believe it. How many times, not just to focus on us, have we read an interview or an article where we've been completely misquoted? We're just some small band, when you think about some of the major players and you really have to question how true it all is."

This song is about having a loved one who is addicted to something. Its at that very specific point in an addiction when its clear that a problem exists, but before people realize the extent of it. When it started, people thought it was funny, you were the life of the party, but now no one is laughing, and and at first your love ones think maybe you just need a friend, or that you just need some sleep, but ultimately they realize all they can do is stand around and watch you drown.

Our Lady Peace will always hold a special spot within my soul as they were the first of many, many bands that I saw live. I was 15 and it was a free outdoor concert held on a local college campus. It was an annual festival called "Quadmania". The rest of the bookings were pretty terrible but the headliner was usually a good band that had past their peak. This particular show was in 2001 and it was my first time crowd surfing, among other things. I remember how much fun that day was and now being to hundreds of concerts, that one will always be special because it started my foray into going to as many shows as possible. I miss those days oh so much.

[@bivyb6249]

I forgot how much I liked this band. So much good music in the 90's it's easy to lose track.

[@danielsumner872]

And to think bands with talent like this were played on the radio at one time.

[@ahabgaddis7277]

Yeah, 90's might have been the best decade for good music that also managed commercial success. The abundance of it too

[@RevenGrey]

This song always felt very personal for me, its like my depression, personified, is singing to me. The first few lines; 'Throw away the radio Suitcase that keeps you awake Hide the telephone' speaks to how I try to drown out my sorrows by listening to sad music which ultimately just makes me feel worse, my feeling of wanting to escape my life and the idea that seeing beautiful things might make me feel like life is worth living, and now more than ever with cellphones, the need to 'hide the telephone' to keep myself to spilling my emotions on people. Being in a deep depression really feels like you are drowning, you feel tired just from existing. The lines 'as clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing' speaks to how I've always tried to be the entertainer, to make people around me happy and laugh, and how I've always felt that deep down they still don't like me. 'maybe you just need a friend' I've never been more happy in my life than when I have a partner. Unhealthy as it sounds to rely on someone else for your happiness I've always felt like I mattered, like I wasn't an after thought and like I had a best friend that I could do anything with and share anything with while in a relationship. No idea why someone would bother to read my personal interpretation of this song but there it is. I had to write out what I've had in my head since first hearing this years and years ago.

[@gmk163]

no worries, you're in good company. Back in the day, we had Clumsy Congress which was just a bunch of us OLP fans interpreting their songs to death and talking about what they meant to us. I hope people are still doing this in 2120. :D

[@mxbass1036]

I feel you, good luck.

[@macdurden412]

Dude I be feeling the same way.. you won’t allne

[@leosulit2010]

Your interpretation paints a very familiar picture. When I was about 13 or 14 I think, I've always felt like I never belonged, I was often sad, I couldn't understand or relate to the happiness my classmates or even my close friends were experiencing which lead me to have a very uneventful and bleak teen years that I absolutely regret. I listened to OLP practically everyday then, but I never actually took the time to pinpoint the things in my life that I could attach per line of the song. You make me wish I did. All I remember was that I felt better singing along and really feeling the words as I sang them. On a lighter note I think I ended up with a stronger mental and emotional composition than most in my adult years. I only hope that you have come out stronger and better than most as well after going through those tough times.

Wholy FU KING SH T REVEN, U JUST LITERALLY took everything I have battled with and still damn do to this day at 47 and I swear to God idk I could o ly wish u were a woman and even remotely close to my age because we would literally be a match made in heaven that could not be described , made or found more perfectly Said..

Music isn’t made like this anymore. Take me baaack.

[@timothymattson5369]

I used to listen to this song over and over again. This is the first time I've heard it in over 20 years. It hasn't lost its charm.

[@oddflacko5063]

I was at work and one of the cooks was listening to music. She was playing this song and it almost brought me to tears but I also felt happy.

[@6nuke4peace9]

Our Lady Peace has the most beautiful lyrics ever!

[@aerialpunk]

This is honestly a really beautiful song. I grew up with it, but only just realized the meaning of it as I listened to it today after kinda forgetting about it a while. It's so moving and lovely. We need more of this!

[@erika6651]

I'm 45 and yes, I loved this. Still do. Ah, the 90s. The only era where some cute Canadian dude could sound like Billy Corgan but worse, and create great songs.

[@victoriabryson8210]

It is a great testament to songwriting but it resonates with me, beautiful.

[@73maplepiper]

48 year old here.. I miss the 90s very much. I read the headlines of current events on a daily basis... What did we worry about in the 90's? Christ where is this world going. I don't even know what current music is like. Music was always such a big part of my life. Now I reflect, listen and remember. Perhaps it is rose tinted but I'll be damned if someone can say that the quality of life has improved since the 90's.

[@CafPhine]

Who doesn't want those times back? Awesome everything in the 90's.

[@JamesAlee-no9tq]

This band is one of the edgiest of the mid-late nineties. And they still rock!

[@christineheadworth]

I have never been a fan of Our Lady Peace but this song came on after a fairly dramatic episode with my 14 year old Autistic son and had me balling my eyes out 💖

[@jennabeez]

Just saw OLP and IME in Ottawa with my best friend since grade 9. We grew up to those bands. I have had OLP in my head for 4 days now!

[@cloverkpop]

zombiecrush I saw them last night in Halifax and they were amazing!

[@jennabeez]

Wasn't it an amazing performance? They didn't miss a beat. It was just like being back in time. I loved how everyone there was in their 30s, not on their phones, and totally in the moment. It was such a great experience.

[@jennabeez]

Douglas Nowland it was Tim Hortons for us!! ;) growing up pre-2000 was the best!!!

[@sc2341]

This song reminds me of a lost friend that I'll never see again. The memories are bittersweet. Miss you MCM 😞

[@jasonpatterson3687]

Your not the only one : ) What about How's it gonna be?

[@panicmosem5969]

I saw them in 98 with eve 6 and 3rd eye bind in Savannah. I had just turned 13. I'm forever grateful i had parents who introduced me to amazing music. While their music is Allman Bros band, the dead, phish, etc. They let us go to our choice, and we ended up just like them... hippies at the heart!! But I've seen a great mix of live shows and I have loved EVERY SINGLE ONE! I still enjoy the hell outta my old music which also consists of country and rap, but today's music. ... ughhhhh haven't heard a good popular song for years!!

[@ryanponder679]

This song immediately brings me back to my old LSU days. Great memories

Best band ever. This band has gotten me through so much in my life.

[@blank3097]

I’ve never met them but I’m sure they are great guys Signed some washed up loser that used to party with rockstars

[@williamkelly951]

44k followers? Proves social media is a sell out to gain attention. Because what Raine has done for not only Canada but the world... He's way more known than that. This band as a whole is way more known than that aswell. This band will forever live on.

[@Nyte_Kitty]

Took me an hour to find this song again, started with searching "90s alternative song drowning" and that didn't work. Eventually searched "90s alternative band list", ending up on Wikipedia, and saw Our Lady Peace and it alllll came back 🤍🤍🤍🤍👌

this song deserves way more views then it has
