Gravity (Our Lady Peace Album)
Gravity is the title of Canadian alternative rock/post-grunge band Our Lady Peace's fifth studio album. It was released on June 18, 2002 by Columbia Records in North America. The album became a worldwide success, charting highly both in Canada and the U.S. with the hit singles "Somewhere Out There" and "Innocent".
The album title, Gravity, was inspired by the chorus lyrics "Falling back to me, defying gravity" from the track "Somewhere Out There". At the time of the album's release, OLP drummer Jeremy Taggart said that Gravity was "by far best album".
This was their first album to feature new guitarist, Steve Mazur, who replaced Mike Turner after the latter's departure in December 2001. Turner is on some of the albums tracks, however, having recorded parts for several songs on the album prior to his departure. This was also their last album with stunt musician Jamie Edwards, who left the band soon after the album was completed.

Famous quotes containing the words gravity, lady and/or peace:
“Grown beyond nature now, soft food for worms,
They lift frail heads in gravity and good faith.”

“Hark, hark, the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
And Phoebus’ gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their golden eyes;
With every thing that pretty is, my lady sweet, arise;
Arise, arise!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
