    Saw City and Colour live last night. They played this song as the final encore and had the crowd sing Gord's part. One of the best concert moments I've attended.

    This song haunts and comforts me. When i am at my worst i feel every lyric in my soul. ‘That ill never find the words to say… which would completely explain, just how im breaking down…’

      I was fortunate enought to see his last show in vancouver. After the encore the band left and just Ford walked back out to the stage and said thank you for the wonderful years one last time. The crowd cheered louder than ANY other sound I have heard in my life. Was a proper send off for a canadian legend and hero.

    Just saw City and Colour in Victoria! They closed out the show with this song and Dallas acknowledged it would have been Gord Downie's 60th Birthday that day and that the last time they saw each other was in Victoria. It was a really powerful moment when the crowd sang Gord's verse. RIP Gord Downie, your legacy will always live on.

    I've become, a simple souvenir of someone's kill,
    Like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to ill,
    Madness fills my heart and soul as if the
    Great divide could swallow me whole, oh how I'm breaking down.

    introspectively and collectively often in stark reality we
    are blessed
    from these talents come the melodies that conduct frequencies that transcend priorities of concept
    leaving truth.
    to release the diss ease of disease and radiate the glow that transforms. Often while on one's knees!❤

    The most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life, so far... And I dont think I will EVER hear a more beautiful song again. (and I know music)
    I have loved this song since I was a kid and love it even more today. It hits deep. A harmonic collaboration between two amazing artists. Perfectly balanced. Perfectly angst. Perfectly real.

    such a gorgeous song. the chorus pops so hard.
    perfect imagery too. A peek into private lives that may look happy and normal on the surface but hide loneliness and desperation. What do we speak to empty rooms when no one is listening?

    I've become/a simple souvenir of someone's kill/like the sea/I'm constantly changing from calm to ill
    I had a friend back in elementary school who's grandather was in the infantry in WW2. He had a shoebox of momentoes of the Germans he'd killed in this box that we looked at once. A Nazi breast eagle cut crudely from a uniform. A medal. A damaged photo. A dirty handkerchief. He was a mercuirial man, someone we were warned to stay away from, especially if he'd been drinking. This always makes me think of him and how fragile that is and how a simple something is kept from such a profound act of taking another's life.
