Sophia - I understand... sometimes with OLP you cant really connect with the song until you know the meaning of the song because he (raine) tends to and/or likes to put the meaning inbetween the lines and allows the listeners to interpret the song into their own meaning.
hahahah you know what else, i can tell you exactly (Depending on the live version you have) exactly what he said before Are you sad... The one im thinking you have is the one from their Edmondon/Montreal performance a few years back for their DVD. They recorded it at two shows so they could make a CD and a DVD and some of the audio is different and his voice is all strained in some of the songs and its weird but ANYWAYS.
He said "You guys are all real people out there right? Real people have real problems and and the problem I find with a lot of people is usually at some point in your life there's a person very close to you that you love that needs help,. The problem is usually the time this person needs the most help is the time they don't want your help. This next song is about that person that everybody has, or will have. It's about trying to connect with them and help them and save them and all those things you wanna do but sometimes as human beings you can't do. It's called Are You Sad? 3, 4"

ahhaha just incase you're wondering i dont know that quote off by heart, its in the Lyric section to a fansite. LOL.

Wow, i like how we're having our own little conversation over here.
Raine has never (to my knowledge) admitted who the song is actually about. I believe its about someone who is in the band who i believe went to rehab for a couple of weeks..I can't remember exactly why but I know it wasn't a major drug or alcohol.. but anyways that who i think the song is about... I could totally be wrong its just my guess. I just know the song is about how Raine tried to help someone who didn't want the help and he was doing everything in his power to help and tried not to give up... but eventually he realized you cant help someone who doesn't want the help.. they have to want to help themselves first.

I know Raine has trouble breathing through his nose which CAN make it difficult for singers and is why sometimes he sounds odd... but that doesn't make the voice strained unless he was sick. even tho at that particular show he didnt sound like himself.. still sounded great and in songs like Are You sad he still managed to go extremely high - no wonder his voice is strained... ITs hard to imagine a guy actually being able to sing at that tone or range.

I'm sorry to hear that Sophia! I guess 4AM is a totally relevant song for you in some ways direct or not. I hope in the future your relationship will continue to grow in a positive and healthy way.

I think i have to tell you this... I dont know if you have listened to their song called "BIG DUMB ROCKET". the meaning for this is REALLY hard to relate too.. but the humour (well techniqually its not funny cos raine almost killed someone ahhaahha)
I dont even know why i laughed. just the lyrics in general... Raine was in college he was studying Criminology and he was at a party and he found one his friends guns.. and his friend was having a shower and he walked in and pointed the gun at him and said BAM. and i believe Raine or one of the other members said that he sliped near the wall but not too far and the gun went off, but they were filled with blanks and it hit the shower and thankfully missed his friend.. and at that moment raine was holding this gun realizing what happened! so thats when he wrote the song Big dumb rocket reflecting that memory.
I agree, Raine never wanted to release Innocent because of the meaning but the producer at the time suggested he did because of the meaning and how powerful the song is. Innocent isn't the original title for the song as well.. .they changed it so the song would seem more positive.

True that. And thats why i love them so much (whoa, it sounds like im preaching- for a lack of a better word- about some band LOL.

He does. he likes to call his voice "acrobatic".. because I believe it was before their 3rd cd that he said he wanted to be more acrobatic with his voice like a lot of female singers so he was concentrating on improving his range.

That is funny! It is hard to relate too but I took the song under its own meaning so it could be relatable. Its hard to relate to the meaning because well, not everyone has a gun and plays tricks on their friends and having the trick with the gun go slightly bad.
I find the lyrics humours too just because i can picture raine actually doing that then being like "Oh Sh*T"...

The meaning for automatic flowers is weird. the album its on most of the songs have weird meanings something that has happened to raine or something that inspired him.
it's about a woman that lives alone in an apartment and all she has left is this pop-up book. the history of "sara" - if that is her name in real - isn't given, only hinted at by the line "crying, crying, she couldn't afford the view". the automatic flowers isn't a play on words, it's a description of the pop-up book's contents, and this pop-up book is the only thing that she has that's close to her, and it won't do to be happy, thus, "these automatic flowers won't do"...

Also Raine has at other times mentioned that there is NO meaning to the song what-so-ever no matter how hard you look at it, its just something that inspired him to see a girl so empty and broken, he didn't know her so he most likely made all of this stuff up so we could make up what its about too. so basically you can take Raines first meaning of the song - more like a story.. or you can make up your own.

One Man Army is about the struggle for individuality. It's about finding the courage to metaphorically strip naked and set fire to all your inhibitions. It's about cleansing yourself of all the people and things that suffocate your individuality.

^^ that's a Direct quote from Raine, his wording is a lot better and creative then mine!

Ditto. I can't wait for their next cd... see what they have come up with then! Late 2008 or early 2009.... Last time they said that it took them 3 years. HAHAH so far its been a couple years. well plus they took time off, they all have side projects... so basically with that in mind its only been just over a year.... They used to come out with cd's once a year, now its like you have to wait almost a decade. ( i know i just over exaggurated LOL)
