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 lady and/or peace:
“It is perfectly right for a gentleman to say “ladies and gentlemen,” but a lady should say, “gentlemen and ladies.” You mention your friend’s name before you do your own. I always feel like rebuking any woman who says, “ladies and gentlemen.” It is a lack of good manners.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“a meek humble Man of modest sense,
Who preaching peace does practice continence;
Whose pious life’s a proof he does believe,
Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
