"Naveed" gave Our Lady Peace's 1994 debut album its name, and it's the record's big, brooding centerpiece: Mike Turner's guitars grinding in slow, heavy circles, Chris Eacrett and Jeremy Taggart keeping up a restless pulse, and Raine Maida's strange, keening voice climbing over the lot. Maida wrote the words, and the music is credited to him, Turner, Eacrett and producer Arnold Lanni, who engineered it as well.
It became the album's fifth and last single, in America in 1995 and in Britain the following January, and it turned into a hit at home in Canada. George Vale's video, with children dodging a prowling Sherman tank and a sinister ventriloquist's dummy in a bleached-out salvage yard standing in for a war zone, climbed the MuchMusic charts, and in 1998 it was ranked the 33rd favourite video of all time. It has stayed in the band's live set ever since.
