"Thief" - Our Lady Peace

I find most people either love or hate Raine Maida, the lead singer of Our Lady Peace. There is really no middle ground; he has a very unique voice that will either rub you the wrong or right way. Regardless of whether you are a fan of Maida, there is no denying that he is an extremely talented song-writer. "Thief" was one of the singles released off of their third studio album, "Happiness...Is Not a Fish That You Can Catch."

I like the song, but the story behind the song is why I chose to write about it. The song is actually in honor of a young girl from Kitchener, Mina Kim, who died of a cancerous brain tumor. The band outlines this in the liner notes for the CD. At the end of the song is a clip of Mina Kim singing "Little By Little" with Maida's wife, Chantal Kreviziuk.
