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.

Rag Doll Lyrics

Sloan

I see you when you sleep
And I wonder what you dream
So I open up your eyes
And inside I see you
Fall around
Fall around
Like a rag doll
Suffocated by your breath
Sucked into the falling crest
Of the white wave that you ride
And inside, we both
Fall around
Fall around
Just like rag dolls
On a beach of bleached white sand
The soothing motion of your hand
Pushes me to wonder why
Sometimes we both
Fall around
Fall around
Just like rag dolls
