This is an idea for what a music video might be like for the bonus track "Better Than Here" from the latest greatest-hits album by Our Lady Peace. The album is called "A Decade" and features all the hit-singles from OLP's career from "Naveed" to "Healthy In Paranoid Times". The album also includes two bonus tracks never before recorded, "Better Than Here", and "Kiss On The Mouth". This video-idea showcases lead-singer Raine Maida in Toronto on a stormy night, thinking about the time he spent in Sudan and Darfur, as well as some excellent performance-scenes of the band.

Lyrics:

I looked, I looked up to the sky

Your face was drawn in black and white

Tonight we're stuck inside a life,

the fear is we won't get out alive

The stink is in the air

And the air is getting thin

Chorus: Where you going?

As fast as you can run

Where you going?

Do you hide behind the sun?

Stay down low

and stay down where you are

Where you going?

Is it better than here?

The truth oh it turned into a joke

and it's true I'd give anything to hold

tonight, tonight I stay

But you, oh you slip away

(Chorus)

I trip trip trip in pain

You lie lie lie to me

I trip trip trip and bleed

I'd like to get away

You like it like you do

I'd like to be with you

I'd like to live up there

But I wake up oh I

Wake up and I

Wake up and I

Wake up and I'm here

Tonight I'm stuck here

Tomorrow I, I disappear

(Chorus)

@kornkid22 Hell yeah!! Bob Rock is poison for any Band's true sound, He has single-handedly ruined some of my favourite bands.

the outfits should be nice at first but really dirty before the sun comes up you see the dirty clothes but you also see the beauty of it is it a style or was it meant to be like that

he should know what it feels like so having people getting angry at him walking bumping there should be a scene like that too pushed and spiting while hes looking up if you want the realness he should look angry and hurt but with a sense of strength why isn't he getting angry why isn't he throwing punches the thought of it walking blind instead of rocks it should be pennies or change in his pants instead of a stage done to many times try an ally with hookers and and really messy

keep the throwing of money and wallet and anything that makes sense letting go of that would make an impact thats why he left his car

you want the rain fast then storm then both threw out till the end fast and then slow the people around should be as is they don't really care and they should walk past him as hes walking looking up by the time it ends he should be really dirty and muddy but the sun makes up for that he walks out from that bridge with a new outlook not so confused he sees what was there the whole time theres his reflection at the bus there at the stop he walks on

he should also look pale and numb at the beginning not at the end the sun should set a tone of life the eyes close up on them at the end with many eyes water reflection on the ground many people in the water but not above as he walking so a top view with the camra showing the many before him that walked the same path he gets to a bridge yes but he gos underneath and closes his eye shadow people come closer out from under and look at him looking confused he opens his eyes

should start with his car he gets out and start walking confused he looks back for a second then walks again fumble he looks again confused walking past homeless people real ones he looks at a bus but doesn't get in the thought there but looks back where he came from and continues on the walk he does look up at the sky blinding himself from the road and anything around him he falls down then gets back up with one of the homeless people help him up as the others watch

man, i like HIPT for some reason, so much that it's tied w/ Burn Burn, then Clumsy afterwards (maybe it's because it both good alternative/pop rock w/ Raine's paranoid-style falsetto) but if this and kiss on the mouth (especially this song...like it a bit more) were on HIPT, then it would overtake BB as my fav. OLP album!

YES. Better Than Here and Kiss On The Mouth are two of my recent favorites from OLP. And I loved the Juno's version of Afraid... not so much the recorded one ... I don't like the changes in the lyrics as much. I am excited about hearing new stuff from them soon.

Anyone else find it odd that a lot of these HIPT B-Sides are better than the majority of the songs on the CD? Kiss on the Mouth, Better Than Here, Not Afraid (Juno's version), Talk Is Cheap (at least it sounds like it in the live version), and what I've heard of Vampires, it's pretty great.
