Learning to love again

I hate to say it, but I think Barenaked Ladies might be better off (at least in terms of radio play) without Steven Page.

As recent as a month ago, if you had shown me the above sentence and told me it was something I was going to write, I would have told you you were nuts. But that was before I heard the new Barenaked Ladies single, “You Run Away.”




Taking It to Your Grave

Over the course of my life, I’ve learned that the one true test of any kind of love is time.

Everyone, including myself, says the word “forever” when they’re in it. We think our relationship will survive all of the highs and lows, fights and times when we’re apart. We think that it’s impossible to feel any less and that we’ll always feel that way. We shout our love from the rooftops for all to hear. We think that we’ve finally found the love we’ve been looking for our whole lives.
