To many, Sloan is one of today's quintessential Canadian bands, as cliche as it might sound. Since their debut EP Peppermintin 1992, the fab four - Halifax natives, now relocated to Toronto - have forged a distinct niche for themselves in the Canadian scene. The outfit includes Jay Ferguson and Patrick Pentland on guitar, Chris Murphy on bass, and Andrew Scott on drums; each have their own unique songwriting voice and style, each contribute equally. Sloan's humble beginnings with the aforementioned EP led them to a signing with David Geffen, where they released Smearedthat same year. Following that album and hailed as "Canada's Nirvana," they took a sharp turn with Twice Removed(1994) and never looked back.

Live On Lyrics

Sloan

You know you're wrong
That you should know much better
You're coming on way too strong
A force gale in stormy weather
A cold wave crashing on
Across the ocean building pressure
And it'll go off before too long
And this is your life

But you're giving it up this time
'Cause you can't live without it
You're giving it up this time
'Cause this is your life
Live On

It's out of your hands
It's not what you planned
But it keeps knockin' you over
And if you ask me
It's easy to see
How it keeps rippin' you off
You're on your own
'Cause it's just better that way
You're on your own
Yeah this is your life

But you're giving it up this time
'Cause you can't live without it
You're giving it up this time
'Cause this is your life

You're on your own
'Cause it's just better that way
You're on your own
Yeah this is your life

You're giving it up this time
'Cause you can't live without it
You're giving it up this time
'Cause this is your life yeah
Giving it up this time
Live On
