    "Clumsy" is the second single released by alternative rock band Our Lady Peace from their second album, Clumsy. It was one of their most successful singles, reaching #1 on Canada's Singles Chart. The song also became very successful in America reaching the Billboard top ten of the modern rock chart peaking at number 5 and remaining in the top ten for 15 weeks straight. It is one of the few tracks on the album not to feature vocalist Raine Maida's falsetto-controlled singing voice, although his trademark paranoid edged-voice is still used. This song is also the lightest on the album. The song was included on the soundtrack to the 1997 movie, I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    "Clumsy" has become a staple in Our Lady Peace's live setlist. A live version of the song is featured on their first live compilation Live released in 2003.

    Song information

    The song begins with a slow piano starting the introduction. At around the 0:14 mark, the song's tempo speeds up. The chorus is then played, and after another verse and another repeat of the chorus, guitarist Mike Turner creates a soothing hum, and the song ends up in a final repeat of the chorus.

    Clumsy (Our Lady Peace album)

    Clumsy is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace, released on January 23, 1997 by Columbia Records. The album is the band's most successful to date, achieving diamond status in Canada (1 million units sold) and strong sales in other countries, including platinum status in the U.S. for another 1 million sales. In 2007, it ranked No. 76 on "The Top 100 Canadian Albums" by Bob Mersereau and No. 33 on The Top 102 New Rock Albums of All Time by 102.1 The Edge (in 2009). The album features five hit singles: "Superman's Dead", "Automatic Flowers", "Clumsy", "4am" and "Carnival". Each single has its own music video, with the exception of "Carnival".

    Background

    While on tour in support of Naveed the band attempted to begin writing for their next album. Like most bands, the challenges of writing a successful follow-up album was found to be difficult as each member now approached the writing process from a different set of experiences, personal goals, and influences from their time spent touring. Collaborations between band members and the co-writing producer broke down and writing sessions at the producer's studio resulted in nothing of use. The decision was made by Raine Maida that the way to resolve the situation was to change the line-up. It was either Mike Turner or Chris Eacrett. The concern then turned to what challenges would be faced with the task of replacing either. With Turner threatening legal recourse and Maida's school friend Duncan Coutts a bass player in his own band, the choice was simple. Immediately following the band's opening stint with Van Halen Coutts was asked to join the band to be its new permanent bass player. "I don't want to call our old bass player Chris a weak link...I think he's a talented musician, just different from us." claimed Maida at the time of the announcement.

    There's nothing strange about this
    You need to know your friends
    You need to know that
    I'll be wavin' my hand
    Watching you drown
    Watching you scream
    Quiet or loud
    And maybe you should sleep
    And maybe you just need, a friend
    As clumsy as you've been
    There's no one laughing
    You will be safe in here
    You will be safe in here
    Throw away this very old shoelace

    You need to let me in
    Watching you and

    There's no one laughing
    You will be safe in here
    You will be safe in
    I will be waving my hand
