| About OLP: It all started when Mike Turner put a classified advertisement in Now Magazine and Michael Maida (which he later changed to Raine to avoid any confusion between the two) responded to the ad in Toronto of 1992. The group released one single, "Out of Here" at the beginning and when the original group didn't want to get serious, they found Chris Eacrett and Jeremy Taggart to join up. In September 1995, bassist Chris Eacrett left the band and was replaced by Duncan Coutts. When Mike left the band in December of 2001 and was replaced by Steve Mazur in April 2002. |

| Our Lady Peace By Mark Van Doren How far is it to peace, the piper sighed, The solitary, sweating as he paused. Asphalt the noon; the ravens, terrified, Fled carrion thunder that percussion caused. The envelope of earth was powder loud; The taut wings shivered, driven at the sun. The piper put his pipe away and bowed. Not here, he said. I hunt the love-cool one, The dancer with the clipped hair. Where is she? We shook our heads, parting for him to pass. Our lady was of no such trim degree, And none of us had seen her face, alas. She was the very ridges that we must scale, Securing the rough top. And how she smiled Was how our strength would issue. Not to fail Was having her, gigantic, undefiled, For homely goddess, big as the world that burned, Grandmother and taskmistress, frild and town. We let the stranger go; but when we turned Our lady lived, fierce in each other's frown. |
| The name "Our Lady Peace" was taken from a 1943 poem by Mark Van Doren. |
