Twice On Sunday?

Our post for today is two songs that are strikingly close; at least to me when I listen to them. Lyrically and instrumentally, these two songs are like long lost twins who somehow ended up on the same iTunes shuffle list back to back.






Now, Our Lady Peace's song came out a year prior to Thousand Foot Krutch's song. The funny thing is is that I've always felt "This Is A Call" was so close to "Innocent" but perhaps, it's the cancer reference? No, it's the whole song!  

"She fooled all of her friends into thinking she's so strong,
but she still sleeps with her light on,
and she acts like
It's all right on, as she smiles again her mother lies there sick with cancer,
and her friends don't understand her,
she's a question without answers,
who feels like falling apart."

VERSUS

"While she wishes she 
Was a dancer
And that she'd never 
Heard of cancer
She wishes God would give her
Some answers
And make her feel beautiful"
 Yes, I do believe Thousand Foot Krutch's song is pretty great BUT it screams of Our Lady Peace's "Innocent."

So whatever happened to Our Lady Peace anyway? Apparently after some changes and a hiatus, they have a new album in the works; Burn Burn due out later in 2010 or 2011.
