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:
“Here I sit down to form characters. One I intend to be all goodness; All goodness he is. Another I intend to be all gravity; All gravity he is. Another Lady Gish; All Lady Gish she is. I am all the while absorbed in the character. It is not fair to say—I, identically I, am anywhere, while I keep within the character.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Democracies are notorious for a tendency to obey the feelings rather than the mind; thus the nature of democracies often makes it difficult to conclude a peace after a hard-won war. Generous victors are rare.”
—Amos Elon (b. 1926)
