They have so many classic songs... but which one do you think they will forever be remembered by?
Every band has their classic song. What's OLP's?
I personally think that it is Superman's Dead. Have they gone one show without playing this song since it came out?

Superman's Dead or Starseed...
Even though you could make the case for Clumsy and 4am also
how the hell can Julia, a song that was never even released as a single, be their "legacy" song?

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Somewhere Out There.
Come on. Unless OLP hits another top 40 single, they're going to be marked as a one hit wonder, and all those 14 year olds will only be able to say that OLP song. It sucks, but hey, if you're not form Canada, odds are that's what people will remember.

I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

I'd say, by the mass market, "Clumsy".
By me personally, it'll be "4am", "Theif", "Stealing Babies", and "Are You Sad?"

"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

I am thinking Supermans Dead. That is what most Canadians know them for.
I would hate to think that they will be remembered for Somewhere out There. Even other singles like IAH and In Repair and so much better.

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Yeah, personally, I think the radio listening community here in Detroit/Windsor would either remember Clumsy or Thief. Those two songs still get frequent airplay here on the radio. That's damn impressive, considering one of the songs wasn't even a commercial hit.
