If you've never heard of the Skydiggers you are in for a real treat! Especially this song which is one of my favourites. This is one great Canadian band.
Andy was my roommate at Western , Medway residence, for the first half of our Frosh year. Great guy, one of the funniest guys I've ever met. He dropped out at Christmas. I guess he was destined for bigger and better things. Couldn't be happier that he made it big.
This song, for all of it's simplicity (much like the video) never fails to make me cry. An absolutely fantastic song that sounds as good now as when it first came out.
We used to drop everything if there was a Skydiggers show within 200 km of Calgary. One night at Sparky's ( old Cowtown room ) was so riveting that everyone simply stood transfixed: it was near Valentine's Day, and the whole place was full of couples... As a musician of 20 years, I still haven't seen another band not only read an audience as well as they did that night, but give us what we wanted with such sublime skill and devotion. It's still the best live show I've ever attended.
they tour often with the cash brothers..skydiggers,,are ..whats the word..a gem..absolute treat..if anyone has seen them live..u know there arent huge studio trix here..there vocal range, harmonies are simply amazing. for those that have never heard of these guys..think of CSN&Y. thanks for posting..
Wow, I got goosebumps right away, memories of the Albion Hotel...was anybody else there? Skydiggers were there a lot... last time I saw them was a couple of years ago with the Cash brothers, what a treat! You could've dropped a pin in the audience, we were so riveted by their always-breathtaking performance.
Oooh, thanks for posting this. This video is what got me into the Skydiggers. Check them out live whenever you can... they play Toronto every so often.
yay! i love the skydiggers! i've been listening to them since i was 10 years old, they are great. bittersweet harmony is still one of my favourite CDs.
@mc96af Funny, I'm the complete opposite. At the time this song came out, I was desperately single and hoping someday, someone would sing a song like this to me. So it was kind of a dark time for me. I'm glad others have good memories. I'm happy now. Those dark times are gone, so I can enjoy this lovely song more. :)

A great song, and a great video. The Skydiggers are one of the most truly underapreciated music bands in Canada. More from them would be most welcome.
How can you not love this song?
Fantastic.
