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.

Who Loves Life More? Lyrics

Sloan

Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
I had so much fun
I couldn't help myself
I knew I had to see the rising sun

I did and thought even then
I didn't want that moment to end

For some it's enough
But gimme some more
Staying up or staying in
Who loves life more?

Though I have to confess
I blacked out while I was still dressed

Some do the work
That others ignore
They'll be busy but
Who loves life more?

Early to rise
I was working one morning
I got so much done
I had been up for hours but knew
I had see the setting sun

I did and thought even then
I didn't want that moment to end

For some it's a pleasure
And others a chore
Schedules or sleeping in
Who loves life more?

Though I have to admit
Near the end I slacked off a bit

Some people play
But are they secure?
They get by but
Who loves life more?

Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
(I had so much fun)
Stayed up one time
Until late in the evening
(I couldn't help myself...)

I did and thought even then
I didn't want that moment to end

Restoring the mind
Or minding the store
Punching in or punching out
Who loves life more?

Though I have to suggest
A small dose of both would be best

For some it's enough
But gimme some more
Breathing in or breathing out
Who loves life more?
