| I'm a Girl! |
So I am a girl. Obviously. But that doesn't mean I act exactly like a girl. I am feminine (I wear heels, makeup and like my cleavage), but I'm also a bit masculine (I go shooting, touch disgusting things, and try very hard to keep drama/my emotions in check). There are very few people in my life that have made me cry, sticks and stones right? Unfortunately I do have this VERY embarrassing habit of bawling over the most insignificant things. I cry reading newspaper articles, listening to certain songs, watching certain commercials (that Kleenex one gets me every time), and definitely watching movies. I cry at the majority of movies I go to, even if they are not particularly sad movies.
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.
