“Starseed” by Our Lady Peace

"Starseed" was the second single from Naveed, Our Lady Peace's 1994 debut, and it came together fast: Raine Maida has said it was written in five minutes after Chris Eacrett found the bass line, and the band needed only twenty more to record it. You can hear that heat in the track, Eacrett's heavy, prowling bass, Mike Turner's guitar swelling into a storm and Jeremy Taggart's drums hammering underneath while Maida's high, keening voice cuts through the murk.

Arnold Lanni produced and engineered it and shares the writing credit with Maida, Eacrett and Turner. A remixed version, its cold ending stretched into a fadeout, later landed on the Armageddon soundtrack and became the single in the US.
