My parents divorced when I was 3 and I was stuck with my mom. My dad was changing jobs over and over again. We could only talk on skype and for about 2 week a yer in person when he gets his vacation time. He lives in Alberta and works mostly at the oil sands. We'd travel Canada in his car and listen to Blue Rodeo all day on these trips. I'm 13 now and these songs are about the only thing that makes me feel close to him when hes far. This is his favourite song. This song makes me cry every time.
Beautiful story. My parents were never together, this song always made me long for a world where we all ran away together. Solo just bottled up so much of my pain as a kid. After moving outwest a few years ago, my fiancee and I found a happier meaning to it, and it will now be our wedding song.
Blue Rodeo: The anthem of sad dads. I've got a similar story man, mine just happened 5 years before yours. It's like the dude didn't get passed the B's in his record shop. Lots of Blue Rodeo and Beach Boys. Hope you're doing well 6 years on
This was one of my dad's favorite songs, he's been gone for ten years now and listening to this I thought would bring back some pain. However that sweet nostalgia takes over and I smile.
I definitely feel you on that. Man I listen to everything. From death metal hypocrisy, deicide amorphis to hardcore blood for blood 25dalife. Classical from vivaldi, wagner, Trance okenfold tiesto Seb fontain, kimball collins. Maiden rahowas the snow fell. Rap pac cormega have mercy on me bootsie bad ass
"Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth"....ughhh, I friggin' LOVE those lyrics!! Such a sexy tune! I feel bad for people who are not Jim Cuddy!! Amazing!!
I am just in love with this song! The words are so powerful, I don't know how someone can come with a words and a song like that :) Not a country fan, but this guys have me!
It's Oct. 31st. I just, found this today. I want to 'thank you' Micah Brown. I love 'Blue Rodeo', and to know the entire' words to this song, '5 days in May' is a great bonus. I know you worked hard on getting the song & words 'just' right. I am so thrilled; about it. My name is Kyah Stewart'. I'm from- 'Northern NB, In a small town named-'Dalhousie, NB.- I've lived all over Canada. Other than 'Gordon Lightfoot'. 'Blue Rodeo' is my favorite. Thanks again. Sincerely yours. Kyah Stewart.
Amazing song. Never heard before yesterday. Really amazing band. Makes me wonder what else I've missed. I'm 45. Listen to every kind of music too. From baroque period classical to death metal to gangster rap.

Two years ago we took my car and went to the beach, now I just have the memories of holding your hand looking into the blue, and those are the memories I will cherish for the rest of my life.

One important lyrical note- it's not "Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again" followed by "No one wipes the tears from your eyes." It's "Oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes." Feels like a pretty big difference. Love the video though, thank you.
Is it me or does the guitar solo towards the end kinda sound like the guitar solo on jethro tull's aqualung? They are defiantly in the same octave range? Can someone with musical training please endorse or enlighten me? Thanks
Real Canadian, alright. To me it sounds particularly Saskatchewan-ey. I really like it. When I hear it I think of lonely stretches of road, grain elevators, an old train track spur that gradually bevels into dry grass and sandy earth. Breezy, nice, sun through milked-out sky and a night coming that can freeze your butt off even in Spring!
I LEFT' CANADA 2 YRS AGO.........THIS' SONG WAS 'OUR' SONG.......THE RAIN ON THE WINDSHIELD' HEADED SOUTH.........NOW, I LIVE DOWN HERE' IN PENNSYLVANIA......
My wife and I just recently split up but we spent 5 first say in May together the last time we loved each other and our family. Ill miss her. This is our favorite band we seen them live in Lethbridge they are the best in Canada better than Bryan and I seen him in Calgary 28 years ago.lol sorry bryan bad mouth but these guys always play good music. Blue Rodeo is Canadas music
Yeah I have a request. Can you find Murray McLachlan's Gulliver's Taxi album?? I can't find it anywhere. Thank's for posting Five Days!! I LOVE that song!! Is there a better guitar solo in the history of Canadian music?? I think not. It's absolutely WICKED live! Peace everyone.

I just love the guitar solo. I know it's rough, but it's full of passion and abandon, like the characters in the song.

If you're still around. You're 19 now. Almost a man if not one already. Bless you.
Andrew Chase Bless you too. And hold on.

albertas cost of living is one of the lowest in the country and the oil sands is a great source if income you should join ur pops
This was one of my dad's favorite songs, he's been gone for ten years now and listening to this I thought would bring back some pain. However that sweet nostalgia takes over and I smile.
I love this song. Reminds me of my father who passed away last month 😭💔
Prayers 😔 I lost my dad four years ago today, just keep hanging on friend, hugs.
Ahh..that solo. Ragged and raw. Perfect imperfection.
this has the makings of the very best of any romantic song ... guitar solo is part of it thanks
When I was little, my mom used to play this music all the time. I'm seventeen years old now and I'm only now coming back to this out of nostalgia.
My mom played this as well when I was a kid. I am 39 years old.
Such a wonderful song so calming, so soothing... so beautiful
Reminds me of my dad. One of the best guitar solos in Canadian history.
Yes do you play
Thankful my mother listened to everything and not just one genre of music. Now I love everything from Dr. Dre to Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show.

Can someone with musical training please endorse or enlighten me?
Thanks
great song!!!
It is a timeless classic
