Poor Old Lu

Poor Old Lu was a pioneering alternative Christian band based in the American Northwest. The band experimented with a variety of sounds and genres, particularly grunge, funk and psychedelic rock. The band consisted of Scott Hunter with the vocals, Jesse Sprinkle as the drummer for the band, Aaron Sprinkle as guitarist, and Nick Barber on bass. Scott was the lyricist who wrote on philosophical, metaphorical, and spiritually-oriented topics. Common themes in the lyrics include introspective struggles with identity and spirituality, struggles with a superficial, secular, and modern society, and hope for life abundant. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music calls the band "One of the most accomplished and creative Christian bands of the '90s". more »

 Struggling with Peapod? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Another song that was first released on our 1992 independent
album, Star-Studded-Super-Step.
Definitely a concert favorite because of it's funk
vibe and catchy, though simple,
chorus. Over the years, having someone yell out 'Peapod'
during a show was as common as someone yelling 'Freebird'.
The version on Mindsize also featured an audio clip
from Bob Ross, the happy painter,
a tradition started with the Star-Studded cut.
In fact, the name of the song came from Bob Ross' little
pocket pet, Peapod the Pocket Squirrel.

The song seems to work against itself a bit lyrically,
but I think it works out well.
The verses point to the wayward lives that we often
live, straying from our walk with the Lord.
The verses also stress that we need to "get back to
His side", and how true that is.
The chorus, on the other hand,
simply says "It's alright".
.. which would seem to point to a spiritual laziness,
but I don't believe that is the case.
The truth is, in the same breath that the Lord is showing
us the error of our ways, He is also comforting us
and showing us abundant love. 

I've been standing here so long
I don't know where I've been

I've been looking around so long
I don't know what I've seen

Can I chase away the blues?
And will I understand this?

I been here, there, everywhere
How can I get back to His side?

It's alright

I've been turning around so long
I don't know which way is right

We've been tripping around so wrong
I know we've lost our sight

Can He chase away the blues?
And will we understand that?

We've been here, there, everywhere
We got to get back to His side
