Open Up Your Eyes — from their 1996 debut album Lemon Parade —
It’s a great one… I like the video too… how they start dancing on the skates at the end… lol
Mr. Golden Deal… also from Lemon Parade (1996)… I love this one… it’s like poetry…
easy to skip past…
worth stopping for…
Hidden gems… I think..
I hope yall enjoy them…
…….💎🎶~→💿🎶’…….<¤>~→||→=||~’
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year in 2o26… here’s to turning pages — not running from them…
Tonic 🎶 You Wanted More 🎶 Waltz With Me…
Hey yall… today the spotlight lands on Tonic…
They’re excellent if you ask me.. I was so impacted by their music back in the mid-90s… and they’ve stayed one of my favorites through the years.. I still perform their songs to this day… because they live deep in me. They formed in 1993 in Los Angeles.. with Emerson Hart leading the way on vocals… and they’ve always had a way of mixing honesty.. heart.. and melody in a way that just hits life right where it lives…
I’ve got two songs for you today…
🎵 You Wanted More — 1999 — from the album Sugar… (also it was featured on the soundtrack from the movie “American Pie…”)
🎵 Waltz With Me — also from Sugar 1999… a beautiful track…
Hope you enjoy… press play and let the songs do what they do…

Our Lady Peace 🎶 Somewhere Out There 🎶 Clumsy…
Hey yall… I got two more OLP songs for you…
Somewhere Out There… 2o02.. from the album Gravity…
Clumsy… 1997… from the album Clumsy…
Just some cool info… they took their name from the novel The End of Alice by A.M. Homes…
It’s meant to feel poetic and symbolic rather than religious — a phrase that sounds gentle but carries weight..
Also.. they have many platinum albums.. and Frontman Raine Maida is known for.. writing lyrics inspired by psychology.. philosophy.. and literature.. Leaving meanings intentionally open — many songs feel emotional first.. literal second
That’s why tracks like Clumsy still hit even if you can’t fully explain them… hope you enjoy…

Our Lady Peace 🎶 4am 🎶 Supermans Dead…
Hey y’all… welcome…
So we’ve got two songs today — and as a bonus.. a live cut too… that’s always a good day 😎
“4am” and “Superman’s Dead” both debuted in 1997 on the album Clumsy..
This entire record affected me deeply… it moved me.. I spent hours alone in my room back then.. learning all these songs on my guitar… great times..
Also… the lead singer of Our Lady Peace has one of the most unique voices — and names — in music…
His name is Raine Maida… pronounced Rain 🌧 MAY-duh…
So anyways… here ya go…
hope you enjoy… 🎶
Love this.. beautiful..👇💯💥🤟❤️🔥 The End Is Where We Begin…

The Warning.. Paulina.. Daniela.. Alejandra..
I’ve been following these 3 sisters since they were little tiny things.. I knew they were special.. and I knew they’d be famous one day if they chose.. but I never thought they’d be such a power force in rock music today.. keeping it alive lol.. wasn’t expecting that 😁… they are special.. I’ve been behind them from the beginning.. watching and rooting.. well played ladies.. Rock On.. 💣💥💯🤟🎶 (also Paulina and Jen from Skillet are my two favorite lady drummers..)
The beginning 👇
The Outcome 👇
👇 this one is bad@ss! Probably my favorite vid of them.. this is just an older one of them practicing at home..

Our Lady Peace 🎶 Innocent 🎶 Starseed
Hey yall.. so this is Our Lady Peace.. some of you older folks are probably familiar with them.. they are Canadian.. but we still love them.. they formed in 1992.. they are a favorite of mine.. and so many great songs.. I have two for you now.. “innocent” was released in 2oO2 on the album Gravity.. and the other is “Starseed” from their 1994 debut album.. Naveed.. I also found a cool as heck.. Beavis and Butthead video gem.. with the song Starseed in it.. haha.. made me laugh.. hope yall enjoy.. thinking of you today… `.°~
…….💯🎶💣💥🌬🥀🤟🖤💋
👇 this song hits differently once you know the meaning of it.. what “Starseed” actually is.. or the actual meaning of it in this song.. I relate to it.. in that I’m like a Christian Starseed.. 😁 not a new age one… you should probably do some googling now haha…..
