I just started listening to their older music again, and i swear this album was a god send....especially now that its celebrating its 25 year anniversary...some of the songs on this album, including this one, is definitive on describing the mental health the world has been facing the last few years. Makes me happy that i can go back into time and find songs like this one, as well as others, that describe our current situation, and provide some love and such. Much appreciated ❤❤

I had been with him for 5 days solid, I wouldnt leave his side for nothing and he was such a strong guy, I look up to him forever for the bravery he had, his my rolemodel. He was such a strong person, mentaly and physically, cancer is a killer and it destroys so many peoples lives.

Very powerful lyrics

My mom's mental health and growing up with her suicide attempts, gradually increasing severity with schizophrenia and her being in and out of institutions, and eventually losing her to suicide just before my oldest son was born, this is what comes to mind with this song. Hits home really hard. I've lost a number of people to mental health issues. I know it is written about cancer, but the lyrics fit very well to mental health as well, in severe cases it is a thief in the head, as you slowly watch someone you love change and turn into something else from it.

"i don't want to hear who walked on water" really got me cuz i am normally a believer in God but there is nothing comforting about hearing His plans when His plans make no sense in the moment. beautiful song.

Hope your dad is still doing okay!

This song makes me cry EVERYTIME I hear it. It came out right around my dad's cancer diagnosis and death in my teens and brings me right back there. Beautiful song.

I think of this song and it brings me to tears immediately on the loss of my identical twin brother. Such a superb song on the loss from cancer and the experience as a bystander.

The band revealed that the song was written about a young girl from Kitchener with a cancerous tumor in her brain named Mina Kim. The "thief" mentioned in the song refers to the tumor. The short clip at the end of the song consisting of a young girl singing a Sunday school song is a real audio clip of Mina Kim singing "Little By Little" with Maida's wife Chantal Kreviazuk and band member Jeremy Taggart.

I lost a friend to lung cancer today. We were close friends for a brief period many years ago, but eventually lost touch only to speak from time to time. It's not that she is gone that I remember her. I remember her because she was full of life and died younger than any one should. She died at 25, the same age as me. When I heard the news, I was devastated. Though I've known her for a short time all those years ago, she was still a friend. I immediately thought of this song and have not stopped listening to it. I wasn't there for her like I could've been, but I will miss my memories of her. We all live long and fulfilling lives. Some of us are not graced with that opportunity and she will sadly be missed.

I've loved this song and this band, ever since I first listened to their album Clumsy in 1997. I never knew what this song was actually about until just now, when I saw a video discussing the newest OLP album, and realized I hadn't listened to them in nearly a decade. Now I'm binging all of their music, and then I listen to Thief again. As someone who was diagnosed with a grade IV GBM brain tumor at the beginning of 2020, I finally understand this song in a way I kind of wish I didn't. At the same time, I feel so lucky to have this band, and in particular, this song back in my life again. Right when I needed them most.

This is easily one of their best songs.

The melodies are so well structured and delivered.

One of my all time favorite OLP songs.

Back when MUSIC had REAL meaning... The song was written for a child who lost his life due to sickness The SICKNESS is the "THIEF" who stole the child's life.

I keep coming back to this song.

My father was disabled and in a nursing home before 50. Let’s try harder to be good to each other. I Love this song.

I love this song because it makes me stop to think of my grandmother, she passed away Christmas day a few months ago and I miss her every day. She was such a loving person and cared for me ever since I was a baby and continued right up until she died. I love you nana x

I love this song, not just for the great sound ect, ect. but about its message (to me at least). . . Bedside at someone dying and you both know, thats tough, but to know that there is nothing you can do about this person. But all they want is just to talk to someone, to you? thats intense, in a way that is how i feel when listening to this song. Helpless and sad? But I wouldn't be anywhere else for anything in the world. I don't know i have been drinking a bit, but i felt the need to write this.

Mina Kim was my best friend in Grades 1 and 2. We bonded over sharing the same birthday. I moved schools for Grade 3 and was never able to speak to her again. I thought of her often and when I first saw this music video as a child, my heart sunk to see her name. I knew it was her in my heart as soon as I heard the little tune at the end. I confirmed it was my best friend years later when I looked up her name and OLP. RIP Mina. I’ve missed my friend for a long time.

@RachelAndNadean This song is actually dedicated to a little girl that Rayne met a long time ago that was dying of cancer. So he wrote this for her and all young people who are being taken away before their time. "That thing that lives inside of your head" is referring to a brain tumor I think. Really sad but inspiring at the same time.

It's strange. This is a sad song, but it picks you up rather than getting you down. A true work of art.

I am their Korean fan. This is a song I really enjoyed listening to when I was in high school 10 years ago. It's been a long time since I heard it because of the algorithm. It's a new feeling. Thank you.

The song really makes you think about life and what is really important

still one of my top 3 bands

Still the greatest song they’ve ever done. And one of the greatest Canadian songs of all time. Easily my favourite, even now in 2020. Also, Mike Turner is a seriously underrated guitarist and songwriter. I miss those days when he was in the band.

Not heard much from Our Lady Peace in a decade or more. Not sure what happened to this band. If it were ever possible without knowing the dynamics of the band then till now. I'd say this is one major band from the grunge/ rock erra that I so wish would re-descover themselves again. Such a unique well put together sound. Anyone would be lying if they were to say they were'nt waiting to hear OLP kick the radio in there vehicle over at least one more time.. My opinion of course... this band deserved more cred than at that time it recieved.

Brings back my teen years

Just saw them in Saskatoon on Thursday best concert I've been too amazing !!!!

OLP's 4 albums from the 90's really have some terrific songs on them. I grew up on them. I lost touch with them afterwards, as I did with many bands from the era (Foo Fighters, Garbage). But it was just such a great, great period. They were all doing such tremendous work.

I seen the Creed , OLP, and Oleander concert in Mesa, AZ back in the early 2000's one of the best concerts.

This song could easily be interpreted as being about dealing with a loved one who has depression. "I can't see that lives inside of your head." Depression is a thief. And the line "there's a house built out in space" describes the lack of foundation upon which the loved ones perceptions are built. "It's a long getaway, make it home again." The person has left and you hope they come back.

I love these guys. Listening to their music always gives me a good feeling and Raine's voice is phenomenal. There's no other voices like his, it touches your nerves and mixed with the right lyrics and music it drudges up feelings that music was made to do anyway, it moves you.

Is that supposed to be a recording of Mina Kim at the end? I don't know why but it gives me chills hearing it. EDIT: A QUICK SEARCH, IT IS: "Our Lady Peace said that the song was about a young girl from Kitchener, Ontario named Mina Kim who had a cancerous tumor in her brain. The word thief in the song refers to the tumor and at the end of the song there is a sound clip of a young girl that is actually Mina Kim singing a "Little By Little" with Maida's wife Chantal Kreviazuk."

Brings back memories for sure.

I'm glad that they went for something so simple as a video for this song. fits really well.
