"In Repair" led off Spiritual Machines, the fourth Our Lady Peace album, arriving as a single in November 2000, and it's the Canadian band's heart-on-sleeve side dressed in science-fiction clothes. The whole record takes its cue from Ray Kurzweil's 1999 book The Age of Spiritual Machines and its vision of a future run by intelligent machines, and on the album the song comes right after "R.K. 2029", a passage from the book read by Kurzweil himself.
Raine Maida wrote it and sings it, and he's said it's about the way people treat each other like machines, and the need to pour your energy into the people who actually matter. Duncan Coutts, Jamie Edwards, Mike Turner and Jeremy Taggart fill out the band, Arnold Lanni produced with Maida co-producing, and Brendan O'Brien mixed.
