A song which Raine recorded a demo of in the fall of 2010. He worked on it again in February. On May 5th, the band went over it and worked on developing a full arrangement. They reworked it a bit around August.

"I see the light of the candle The moth by the flame Four leaf clover You've got life in your breath You've got life in your veins It's far from over now What are you waiting for? We're already there What are you waiting for?"

actually working on songs today. "Moth" and "a day without the sun" we're getting close! - Raine, February 14

The 1st song of the 1st recording session in April. The band worked on again during the 3rd session. In October, Raine tweeted that he was recording vocals.

"If I were noble The years have taken quite a toll on Let's keep this informal I'm too afraid to ask where you're from Like a tale from a grocery list Your wallet stole, you pay for it You check out and you both have change"

chrs on "Tale from a grocery list' is entirely falsetto. - Raine, April 19

Day two in Studio. on the verge of moving on to 2nd song. RIP modern rock! - Raine, April 19

singing an OLP song today...working title is" Tales from a grocery list"Raine, October 10

OLP worked on this song during their writing session in February/March, and it was the 2nd song of the 1st recording session in April. A clip posted on August 15th appears to show the band working on a new version.

"See the light in the distance"

cutting 2nd song now. "like ???? we run" heavy, driving Pink Floyd esq track. huge ol school drum sounds. - Raine, April 19

all around this 2nd track. trying to make the verse as rhythmically unique as possible. no time time for the mundane. challenge is the werd! - Raine, April 19

recording a little piano on Rabbits then moving on to 3rd track.. Jason Lader is co-producing. S*%t is sounding different for sure! - Raine, April 20

The band focused on this song a lot early in the recording process. A new version was completed during each of the first 3 recording sessions. It made its live debut in Niagara Falls on July 2nd.

"Thinking about it's all the same Everybody can explain ? But it happens every day Lying on an overhang Feeling like you never wait You can have it, all your waiting All this time ? It's okay But oh, with your fire waiting And I am there I wait but there's no escaping I will be the..."

song 3 is a bastard. pushing the OLP envelope like never before. we have it by the neck though. so close! - Raine, April 21

finishing touches on track 3. getting a DFA1979 vibe from this track. beginning to find out things about us that we never knew! - Raine, April 22

recording today and then taking a few days off. resuming the record next week. song 3 was a real B&%ch but we've managed to wrestle it down - Raine, April 23

"Don't leave me waiting The wolf is already at my door He's run out of patience I gave him my blood but he wants more And I don't belong And I don't belong here anymore There's a wolf outside my door ?"

cutting "the wolf" challenging the OLP sound...in a good way - Raine, May 4

"Fire in the hen house Protests in the deep south Changing shapes and moving plates and shifting warring powers here to stay Shangri-La in reverse Time to call the wet nurse Movie queens and wolverines and libertines all dressed up to the nines Don't leave me waiting Don't leave me waiting here alone He's run out of patience He's run out of patience, he wants more But I don't belong I don't belong here anymore There's a wolf outside my door Markets on the rebound Riots in the ghost towns Swimming pools and sunday school And children looking up with famous eyes Their dirty little secrets Keep picking on the weakest From Timbuktu to Belarus to Canada they're wearing a disguise Don't leave me waiting Don't leave me waiting here alone He's run out of patience He's run out of patience, he wants more But I don't belong I don't belong here anymore There's a wolf outside my door Sending out a feeling kinda I don't know that feeling I am not my... my... my.... Don't leave me waiting Don't leave me waiting here alone He's run out of patience He's run out of patience, he wants more But I don't belong I don't belong here anymore There's a wolf outside my Wolf outside my Wolf outside my door"

can this be real??? recutting "wolf" for the third time. tensions high last night in the studio. - Raine, May 28

finishing up "the Wolf". 3rd times a charm!!! moving on to "if this is it" - Raine, May 28

The band worked on recording this song during the 2nd recording session in late April and early May. The lyrics were rewritten and title changed before the 3rd recording session in late May.

"Moving through this time and space There's gotta be a better way A place where... Can't miss opportunity A chance to see what hasn't been seen Taking notes on what you see Thought this was a good idea But the consequences are much too real All my instincts hit the ground I was up but now I'm down Having no right to go My body has been towed I don't wanna know Feels so good to... Body has no weight I don't want to know Burnt into the atmosphere But the oceans have a different plan Remember all the honey bees We were in love but I never knew what it all meant But its suddenly making sense"

An early draft of lyrics was posted in a flickr image on May 1st.

"Taking notes on what I see A celestial democracy Rocket to the great unknown Searching for that big plateau"

steve and i worked on a song titled "body into soul" combination of raw rock n roll gtr riff with beautiful chiming guitars. lots of chords - Raine, May 18

The band worked on writing this song in February/March, and recorded it in May. A demo clip was sent to contest winners on June 6th.

"Fill the car with gasoline Feed your change to the machines Powerless to our routines Close to singularity You count your blessings as you go Cross your fingers, follow the unknown Warnings, all I hear is warnings coming down on me But I've got a heart that bleeds Calling, all I hear is calling, calling after me But I've got a heart that bleeds"

This song was recorded during the band's second and third sessions in May, but a clip posted on July 20th shows the band developing it further.

"I could be your greatest accident And I could be the skin on your fingertips Nothing wrong, nothing to regret Just want to breathe you in If this is it Slowly we begin And I could be Everything I could be the head upon your breast And I could be your greatest confidant Just want to breathe you in If this is it Slowly we begin And I could see If this is it Slowly we give in And I could see I could be your greatest accident If this is it Slowly we give in And I could be If this is it Slowly we give in And I could be Everything I could be"

unrelated but.. cutting an OLP song titled"if this is it." but..if this is it, MASSIVE thank you to all our supporters.You've humbled us - Raine, May 20

close to cutting"IF THIS IS IT" reminiscent of "are you sad"&"4am" but different level musically. gonna sleep on it. fine tune tomorrow - Raine, May 22

The band recorded this song at the end of June, but haven't posted any clips.

"I'm breathing a lie Nothing left by my side ? Reason and time Bring me back here alive But you [?] and fade One by one we fall asleep Like passengers in window seats I know I should go but I stay One by one we float away Like accidents and castaways I know I should go but I stay here"

tracking "window seat" today. very different song for us. uptempo driving acoustic.distorted bass track. haunting melodies. - Raine, June 28

putting the finishing touches on "Window Seat." Def favorite on new record so far! - Raine, June 30

Doing guitars on an OLP song called "Window Seat". Different for us. Chords move in an angular way. Time signatures shift. Dark colors. - Steve, December 7

Raine tweeted this title on September 14th. It may be one of the unidentified tracks that were posted around the same time (#7 or #9), but we aren't sure.

first new OLP song for this session is done! most aggressive ,energetic track we ever recorded! "Comes and Goes" - Raine, September 14

An airy guitar track, and lots of syncopated kick drum. But it sounds like Jeremy's not done yet. A short clip was posted on September 12th, with a longer one following on November 8th.

"? ? in this place Look up and you don't know where you are Fighting to escape where you've been ? ? We walk before we run Find our way home again"

Trying to record my harmony voc on beautiful new OLP song "Find Our Way" but someone has parked their chopper over my studio 4 the last2Hrs. - Steve, December 10

This song was released free online on October 21st, and dedicated to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Many fans have speculated that it will not be included on the new album.

"I've got this thorn in my side I've got the boogeyman jive I know just what to do We gotta take back the throne And let the kids rock and roll I know just what to do Take me home to the place we understand Where the cold winds blow and revolution's in the air And all we know, we're fighting for what we had Fight the good fight Fight the good fight When war is declared We gotta get back to square I know just what to do Not gonna swallow my pride Or do a Jekyll and Hyde I know just what to do Take me home to the place we understand Where the cold winds blow and revolution's in the air And all we know, we're fighting for what we had Fight the good fight You hear me knocking on your door I send the joker to the whore Time to even up the score Take me home to the place we understand Where the cold winds blow and revolution's in the air And all we know, we're fighting for what we had Fight the good fight Fight the good fight Fight the good fight Fight the good fight Every once in a while a change has to come We'll raise our hands to the beat of the drum To the beat of the drum To the beat of the drum"

Recorded in October/November, this song is set to be the first single!

"The kids are building fires by their homes The smoke is sending signals out in code, yeah And these safety suits and these parachutes I don't know You gotta stop, drop, roll When all of these walls come down They'll shake us We fight not to be, not to be weightless Oh, and all these stars..."

im in the studio singing a new OLP song called As Fast As You Can - Raine, November 27

Apparently the last song to be written for the new album in mid-December.

"I feel alone and I feel ? I'm fading ? I know the way before my faith You led me on, you walk I see your plane Your way I must be there I know your ? I feel this love In this place I know you're building More than ? ? I'd do it again I feel the ? I feel the love I feel the purpose ? I make this time I don't ask why I feel love And you're all the same kind You're waiting on this plane I must be there You know you'll fade I feel this love It slips away I'll make you know I know you'll fade I leave this feeling Go in this place"

last OLP song "Allowance" being worked out last night. hear/see a song in its infancy. http://ourladypeace.com/ check it in VIDEO section! - Raine, December 16

A down-tempo guitar track posted on April 22nd. We can't quite place this into the songs we've heard in any of the other clips, so it may be all we've heard of yet another new song!

This fragment of a song was played live in the studio with acoustic guitar + vocals, and posted to youtube on April 26th. It's not known if the band is working on a studio recording.

Posted on May 5th, this clip features a strummed acoustic guitar pattern while Jeremy contemplates the drum pattern. This is either a new song idea being written, or perhaps it is a very different take at "Like Rabbits We Run" or "Body Into Soul."

The antithesis of everything on Burn Burn. A drum + keyboard bassline groove with wandering synths and atmospheric guitar creeping through the spaces. The following clip was posted on May 29th.

"I can feel ? They've come to stay A light comes on You're famous not to pay Who's gonna be there when it all comes crashing down The more you fight you know you cannot save"

A straight-forward rock song. A clip of the band recording it was posted on August 5th.

"I hear you calling I hear you waiting ? "

This clip, posted to youtube on September 10th, begins slowly, then picks up tempo and sounds like it's getting ready to go somewhere -- right when the guys stop playing!

Guitar riffs with big hooks. Lots of snare drum. The following clip was posted on September 13th. A part has been arranged for cello, according to discussion between Duncan and Steve in another clip posted on September 26th.

A new song that Steve was working on in December

Working on a very different vibe/piece for OLP. Jazzy, spacey, a bit sad. Just guitars and a bass. Hopefully it'll find it's way to OLP#8 - Steve, December 4
