Same here. But perhaps if it wasn't the single we'd like it more?

Nah, I don't think so. I always thought OLP released great first singles, peaking with OMA and In Repair.

The problem with OMA is that I think it's the best song on Happiness which is kind of unfulfilling.

I don't think "Where Are You" is a bad lead single because of the song itself, I think it's a bad lead single because it's a poor reflection of the album's sound.

Because OLP are a big band, and everyone wanted to hear it because they know OLP. It could be a really crappy song, but it would still get a lot of requests because people are excited about hearing the next big song from one of the country's big bands.

Yeah, but from what I've heard it's doing well in America, as well.

They aren't very big here.

Where Are You is definately not the best tune in HIPT.

Don't Stop would make a nice single.

:lol: funniest thing I've seen all day :lol:
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.

And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

I hate to beat a dead horse. But wouldn't Not Afraid been an AMAZING single? Great sound and the video practically rights its self. I'm still kinda disappointed that wasn't included, much less be the frist single.

Definitly. It would amazing.

As of now, Where are you, is very high in the charts almost everywhere in canada, I dont think there is one countdown anywhere in which Where are you isnt at least in the top 5. Im surprised its doing so good.

If Where are youi is doing this well, imagine what Angels loosing sleep or will the future blame us could do, since they overall better songs.

But who knows, the public seems to view OLP songs differently then OLP fans do. Around here Where are you is the most well liked song, but in the public, its one of the favorites, and getting alot of requests.

Raine Potter! That is awesome. :lol:

I haven't heard it on the radio at ALL here. In fact, I've heard Superman's Dead at least three times this week and haven't heard Where Are You once.
