Artist: Our Lady Peace
Song Title: The Wonderful Future
Chances are, the tuning is half-step down (being OLP), but I don't know that,
so I just stick to regular tuning, since it works just fine for this song.

Chorus (1:15) I won't bother with the strumming pattern, it's too hard to write down
and it's fairly simple anyways. Each * represents one set of strumming
... if that makes sense...

So those are the parts of the song, they come up again throughout.... enjoy.

| This song is about the main charactor in the book "Spiritural Machines" "She builds a strong alibi From the future that's here She needs to know I'm alive But I'm flesh and I tear" PS the hidden track is taken from the book and I believe add meaning to this song | |

| This is just a great song. Great music, a hummable guitar part, passionate lyrics, unfortunately I have no clue what they're about but hey, I can still like the song. One of my favorite olp songs for sure. | |

| I've always pictured her "satellite chair" as a certain chair the girl sits in to create (painting or such) and it gives her a temporary escape from reality. The ability she has found to tap into her talent is something beautiful about her, something other people envy (something we all dream about). | |

| This is my favorite OLP song, I think. Every time I listen to it I feel like I'm either flying or falling through space and I'm never sure which. I agree with everyone else about the meaning... the mood of the song is so wistful and desperate. Maida's vocals and the great music, as always, add a lot to the song. | |
