Send "Starseed" Ringtone to Cell

I let go of the world that was holding
A passenger that could not fly
In search of souls
Souls in search of something
Let it go
Let it slide
When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back
It won't be easy
They won't believe how a man
He could drown
In a starseed
I hoped to find why this world wasn't glowing
Glowing it darkens as we end this ride
I've fallen back under the equator
I'm back inside, I'm back inside
When I find out what went on
I'll bring it back but it won't be easy
They won't believe the man he could
But I'd choose starseed over nothing
Nothing

    General Comment:I wish I could get some sort of spiritual connection to God without having to be part of an organized religion. Like Raine, my Dad's extremely Catholic, and I just can't feel it. There's so much stuff I disagree with. I will stumble upon that 'something that actually means something' to me one day.

    Yes. Envy us Canadians. =) Just... don't pay attention to Nickelback and Celine Dion, to name a few. :)

    General Comment:hands down my fav OLP song. great song, great lyrics... if only the rest of this album was as epic as this song is, maybe it wouldn't have taken them 12 years to have a big single in the US. bands like OLP & the Hip are the two biggest reasons i envy all canadians.

    General Comment:Its basically a religion songs, raine's take on religion. the name comes from the book starseed transmissions:"Not a whole lot [is behind the song]. The lyrics are my take on religion. I'm into a lot of meditating. My Dad was Catholic and he tried to school me in that, but I never really caught on. I'm always interested in religion and the way it effects society. The "Starseed" thing is about going out on a meditation journey and coming back with something tangible. Something you actually believe in. Something that means something to me. In Western society, trying to have that incorporated into any religion would be hard to accept. Most people are hard pressed to change their views. I realized with my Dad you can't change the old dog." - Raine Maida

    General Comment:I heard it was about a friend of Raine's who into this trans-channeling thing, which is like your spirit leaving your body and travelling all over and communicating and meeting up with other spirits. It's also based on the book Starseed by Ken Carey, mentioned above.
