Oh I was in the dark age
Searching for the ones in my mind
I'm so far away
But I had hit the ground running
Steady as you go I don't mind
I'm still here today
Oh Spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes
And forever talking when it ain't so kind
But it feels like forever on the run
When your mind turns to fiction
I had took the long way
I was in the heat I don't mind
I'm so far away
But it feels like forever on the run
When your mind turns to fiction
Oh Nudging the ghost from the skull
And a night without sleep
Vibration comes
First to the head and last to the feet
Spouting hymns and buzzing rhymes
And forever talking when it ain't so kind
But it feels like forever on the run
When your mind turns to fiction

| Charlie_rijsel (Lille, France) | Posted: Dec 22, 2012 - 08:28 Seen them twice in 2012 London and Paris - great band live and proof that theres good innovative music out there ; I've had enough of radio stations that wallow in 1980s songs (and usually the same songs everyday!) Just discovered RP recently and sticking with it;-) |
| annie_fannie (Iowa) | Posted: Dec 15, 2012 - 18:37 these guys are amazing live. they all play at least 4 different instruments...sometimes all in the same song! impressive and talented! |

| ziakut (Slightly North of Obvlivion) | Posted: Dec 11, 2012 - 09:03 I like the band and tune, but I can't help seeing this image of Bert when I hear the lead singer... |
| cyesp (Denver Foothills) | Posted: Dec 10, 2012 - 09:17 They opened for Radiohead here in Denver and at least part of the 2012 tour. sici wrote: Yes, it was very like the beginning of How To Disappear Completely I think. I thought it was going to be somebody's cover of the Radiohead song at first. |
| Easyrider (Portugal) | Posted: Nov 10, 2012 - 00:26 Like this a lot,Bill |

As we entered the venue, the few people there were all sitting on the ground, talking and waiting. We took it as a bad sign, but boy... were we wrong! The venue eventually filled up and Other Lives took us all by surprise. Their vocals are absolutely on par, if not better, live, but what I liked most is that these guys/gal manage to produce an orchestral sound with just 5 musicians. All of them play multiple instruments; most impressive was the bass/keys guy. He played both... simultaneously! Definitely a concert worth remembering. They must have loved the experience too, seeing as one week later they were back in Utrecht, hanging out in a café.  Good description. Makes me want to check them out live. |
| clwguy | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 11:51 am really digging this. |

| Rachoh (Boston) | Posted: Aug 27, 2012 - 10:02 Have loved "other lives" for a while now — this song from their newest album is a stand out (whole thing is great in one, sweeping listening) This is a song I play during one of my longer runs — it really helps to keep a steady pace and of course, great for the ears  |

Never heard of them, of course nobody gets much press in OKC beside the Flaming Lips and country/blue grass acts. That's odd: especially since these guys are apparently from near you - based out of Stillwater, OK. |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 02:00 Haunting, almost scary maybe.... But beautiful! |
| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Aug 22, 2012 - 01:58 Also a bit of a Younger Brother sound... which is a very good thing |
| drsteevo (Location Location) | Posted: Aug 18, 2012 - 14:24 Thought it was Radiohead for the first 20 seconds or so, nice song! |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Aug 18, 2012 - 14:24 Recently bought the CD - it's quite good overall. If you like this tune you will really like the whole disc. |
| LifeIsMusic | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 09:52 I really like this. Music is very appealing....draws you in. |
| eswiley2 | Posted: Aug 10, 2012 - 09:51 I wonder if whoever rated this one as a 1 hears anything on RP that they like. |
| manchu | Posted: Jun 25, 2012 - 14:05 Check out the video, not quite what i expected, but quite nice though ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWMqgeIDJs8 |
| djaychicago (In a far, far better place) | Posted: May 29, 2012 - 23:08 Interesting! New to me but I like what I'm hearing on the first take. Will have to check out more of these guys. Txs RP! |
| socalhol (Seattle) | Posted: May 24, 2012 - 17:40 New to me — will check out the rest for sure. This one gets an "8" out of the gate. |
| marcoshs | Posted: May 24, 2012 - 17:30 A piece of art for sure! |

| bernd_hofmann (Lyon, France) | Posted: Apr 22, 2012 - 23:55 Great atmosphere, mysterious voices, rythm which takes you with it. Shortly : great song, never heard about the artists. New discovery. Thanks to RP |
| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Apr 17, 2012 - 15:37 Never heard of them, but I remain quite curious and would like to hear more. |
| followmearound (San Diego) | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 12:01 This band opened for Bon Iver in San Diego several months ago, and I thought Other Lives was a far more interesting band. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 12:00 Everybody in my hotel room loves this song... |
| Blastcat900 | Posted: Mar 27, 2012 - 11:58 Its... Tame... but maybe it grows on you? So far... not growing... I think the ex girlfriend who just dumped me would like this... not a plus. AND its being played TOO much this month... annoying. |
| Darlington (Columbia, South Carolina) | Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 06:51 Saw these guys open for Radiohead a month or so ago. Got this CD and the one before it. they've been in heavly rotation for the past few weeks. I like it a little better, but both of them are excellent. |
| europlatus (Victoria, BC) | Posted: Mar 13, 2012 - 10:15 best song on my favourite album of 2011 |
