Ya I'm not a big fan of this song, but i'm anxious to hear studio versions of Walking In Circles, Wipe that Smile Off Your Face and Angels/Losing/Sleep.

Me likes. I like the other clip version better. Seemed less produced...if that makes sense.

Our Lady Peace
-Where Are You?-

Hey you,
Have you felt like this before?
You got style,
But 'aint got soul.

Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

Tonight,
Did punk rock get it right?
Is there no future in sight?

Oh,
Is it different now?
Is it different?

Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.

Where are you?
Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You're not listening.

Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.

This could be the best day of my life.
The best day of my life.

Hey you,
Have you got everything you want?
Or do you want more than you got?

Is it different now,
Is it different?

Tonight,
Did Jesus get it right?
Or is the Devil behind the light?

Are you happy now?
Are you happy?

Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.

Where are you?
Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You're not listening.

Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.

This could be the best day of my life.

Sons and Daughters,
Mothers and Fathers.
Everyone's waiting for our luck to change.

Sons and Daughters,
Mothers and Fathers.
Everyone's waiting...waiting...

'Cause this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day,
And this could be the best day, best day, best day.

Come on,
Come on, come on, come on.

Where are you?
Where are you?
I'm kicking and screaming,
You're not listening.

Where are you?
Where are you?
Everything I believed in,
Has lied to me.

This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day.

This could be the best day,
This could be the best day,
This could be the best day, best day, best day,
Of your life.

Ah well, it's okay I guess. It needs a couple of listens, but I dig it.
I’m curious what they will come up with for the video. If it’s just them playing the song, or like a short film, or something completely different from what they have done before.

Not the best....but I like it. It would be a lot better without the "mothers and daughters" bit.
And if I don't make it known that
I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignore because
We're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out
What's wrong

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

I like it except for the chorus - which I guess is kind of important. from listening to the clips I just can't understand why they chose this one as a single, I don't even think this song is particularly catchy. Some of those songs like picture and angels/losing/sleep sounded like they could be classics though. But whatever, there are always other singles, and I'm still looking forward to the album.

It's fun, I like it. But it's sort of less then I expected from them. It's not... olpish.

For a song that has a great theme about escaping the traps of organized religion, the lyrics are bland and uninspired. Raine.......why do you this!

I thought this clip was by far the worst. At least I can look forward to an album with better songs.

I give this song a D-

It's really Bob, you know this right? Before Bob, OLP were fantastic. Now they are a shell of the band they used to be.

After hearing the first version of "best day," this chorus just sounds wrong. Other than that, i guess i could get into the song, but not as much as i used to with others. I'm REALLY excited for don't ask why though. Or whatever it is they call it now. That song sounds brilliant so far.
Don't ask questions, just accept it.

Bob kills bands. Just be glad he hasn't tried to play bass for them.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

Well it's not perfect, but they have their minds set in the right place. Cool song, but what I'm really waiting for is this album - it's gonna be soo great.
