The fact they remained under rated. Best served them in the end. They are comfy. And still enjoy the common things like playing hockey. They appreciate. That gives me joy. Billions in bank roll means nothing if you lose the little things. They know this. They are not an American failure. But a Canadian success. Perfect place to be. :)
they haven't left or retired. Blue Rodeo has been and still is (saw them Winter 2019 in Halifax) amazing live. I will say, you have a limited time to see these guys live. Age is the worst villain to quality. Drop the 75 bucks on the good seats (yup thats what i paid for floor seats) and enjoy. Sing your voice raw like i did and leave smiling and happy like you should from any concert. Of course do this after covid-19. god knows i will.
Saw them every so often playing small, unannounced shows at clubs like The Horseshoe in the 90's. They're such a damn good live band - yes, I'd compare them to The Hip live. So worth seeing, and such good memories!
My son died of an opiate addiction. We used to listen to this song sometimes. It makes me cry but I always try to think he's in a better place than where he was at the end. BR was always one of my top favorite bands. Never got to see them live. Thank God for videos.
Were you really close to your son. I love my dad so much but he doesn’t show it and only tells me to work harder. And I can never be good enough. Just the words of good job son would be life changing for me. I have a 14 year old son and I hug him and tell him I love him 10 times a day. And he will come to me and give me a hug when ever he wants. A son is always looking for a pat on the back and a hug from their father.
@_@ ONLY 6 MiLLION people, give or take, have had the privilege to come here and listen to Blue Rodeo!?LIKE ME 👍 If you think it should be shared more!
I've heard tons of great things connected to the Buffalo music seen. The Tragically Hip amongst many many others loved performing there, good on ya music lovers of Buffalo 👍
my dad used to play this too. 68 now. my mom died on feb 12. ive been listening and watching sooo much old stuff. old simpsons is my go to🤣🤣trying to cope. dont mean to be offensive, sorry.
My Mom passed away on September 24 2019 after a 2 year battle with brain cancer. Blue rodeo was one of her favorite bands. This song absolutely destroys me every time I hear it. Yet somehow it's kinda heels me in a way. I know that shes gone but it hasn't hit me yet that I'll never see her again. On those snowy night in Cobourg Ontario my heart breaks
Cobourg has a special place in my heart that s not to be gone into. From a boy from Cape Breton, when you lose someone close you lose a little bit of yourself. The only answer is to do some good in memory and the waves will ripple out forever
I feel that Ian. I lost my Dad to cancer 4 years ago. While he only listened to 60's pop music that I can't stand, Blue Rodeo takes me back to times spent with him. The finality of losing a parent is beyond my vocabulary. We are all in this together. Lost lol
@@BillWilliams6544 good for you. This song resonates inside your mind. Carry it with always. Been inside too. But it can't take the heart out of a lion!
Found out my uncle passed today, first song came in my head, lived in Beaverton, Ont. Drove truck for over 45 years across Canada, and the US, built his empire with his wife, and 2 adopted children, and one of his own, she passed away just over a year ago, health issues took him over, but insisted he die in his home... RIP Uncle Dave 😢
I've played this song hundreds of times and will always play it. I love how music brings us memories good and bad. They just don't make music like this anymore and boy am I glad I'm old enough to remember this when it came out.
@@davidc6692 I saw an interview with Sting recently and he said his new recording is coming out on cassette! Maybe they are on the comeback...analog hiss and all!
Not just that. I loved this album 25 years ago and still do, but now my 9 year old loves it too. You know it's something when you're able to pass it on to the next generation.
An amazing flashback to the glory days of Canadian music in the 90's... One of the best damn songs written by one of the best damn bands that make me glad to be Canadian!
I am Australian. My father was born in Regina in 1924. I have been visiting family across Canada since 1984. This song makes me cry every time as it reminds me of my family and Canada more than any other I know. Cheers Blue Rodeo.
I often speak of how lucky I was to grow up 4 miles south of the Alberta border in Montana. And the fact that the only good radio stations were Lethbridge and Calgary gave me endless exposure to great Canadian bands.
You can partly thank CanCon that required radio stations to play a certain amount of Canadian music. Fortunately the artists delivered excellent material.
Diagnosed with a new form of cancer last year, did the surgery/radiation shit. Still hasn't hit me yet. What's with that Jack?! I'm still powering through mates. Gord Downie and so many others affected by th big C keeps me goin. It's quite the journey. See ya'll on the other side. Cheers!
I'm another Yank who loves Blue Rodeo...I've seen them in concert more often than any other band. Looking forward to many more albums from my Canuck friends!
Canadian trucker here since 1999 to present. Halifax-Laredo-Vancouver-LA- Toronto-Miami and all points in between. Once a day on that road I blast this song and hope its at my funeral. Its simply my favorite and the dark lyric about Dec nights the snow falling....Love-Jess
My brother and I saw them last February in Edmonton. They were focused, in tune and so incredible. Truly an amazing band. If they ever come to your city it would be a concert that you wouldn't want to miss. 2023
They've always had a reputation for being a tight live band, but in the last few years they've added some musicians who are incredible. They were fantastic in Toronto last night.
My sister and I drove 4 hours away from where we live (in USA) to see Blue Rodeo. It was the closest they have ever been to our town. Totally worth the 8hrs traveling👍
If you don't like Blue Rodeo, you don't like great music. Jim Cuddy is amazing! You Canadiens are awesome. Plus, you gave us Bobby Orr here in Boston. Thank you...
Absolute Pap. Everybody was whistling their songs,We would sing this on our way to go camping and canoeing with the kids on the French River..everybody and had and knew all the albums....as opposed to the hip.🦟☮
Blue Rodeo is surreal. I grew up listening and liking them, but folks let me tell you, the music and lyrics get better over time - real spirit in the writing here :)

Went to the concert in Stanley Park Vancouver in around 2007, this song brought tears to my eyes. It was so amazing live. Describes a few moments in my life, "hasn't hit me yet" rings so true.
I was at that show at the Malkin Bowl. It was a beautiful summer night and they were incredible! Kathleen Edwards opened for them, if I remember correctly. She was great too! So much talent.
The only time I saw Blue Rodeo perform was at a University bar in September of 1987. Been a fan since and this is my favourite of all their recordings. To this day I stop and listen when the song comes on the radio or I am playing it on my stereo!
God... The snow and stubble, old farmhouse and crappy fences... if there's a better way of portraying the melancholy of a depressing rural winter in Canada I cannot imagine it. Yeah... I just don't know what to say... I watch this and I can literally smell stale cigarette smoke from 20+ years ago and feel the gut punch feeling of being unemployed and stuck broke living with my parents in the middle of nothing but white fields in every direction . Man... stuff like this doesn't normally do much for me, but this video... wow.
"Hey hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet". Hah. Never heard a chorus that has as direct a line to my soul as this one. Beautiful words set to beautiful music.
I lost my best friend to cancer two weeks ago. A friendship that spanned almost 50 years. I turned him onto Blue Rodeo in the early 90s and he fell in love with this song. It was on the playlist at his funeral. I will never listen to this song the same again without thinking of him. Love and miss you Dave......forever.
It doesn't matter where I have seen Blue Rodeo, but they always let the audience fill in on this song. It's almost like a test: if you know the lyrics you are a Canadian. Cuddy and Keelor are Canadian treasures. Greg reminds me so much of my father-on-law, who was also a Cape Bretoner.
as a bass player myself of almost 50 years i must say this bass player really makes this band..He adds so much!! Very talented band one of my favorites!!
If you grew up in the "Era of Blue Rodeo" you know how iconic this Canadian based band is Love them 1000% 👍👌💜 best tunes, can listen to them anytime, anyshere, every one knows all the lyrics. Jim Kuddy your amazingly talented, history will be talking / jamming to about and to you for many moons to come 💙💚💛❤💜
The point is you made your feelings known, plus, it's a positive comment and that's a great thing, the Internet brings all of us a little closer together, that is the greatest hope we have of lasting as the human race. Whether you are Peruvian or any other place of origin, you will always be welcome to visit and in some instances stay in Canada, most of my Friends are all from other Countries, Canada is proud to have multi-cultural diversity at it's core. One of my most recent Friends, has his Mom who is Sirian and his Dad who is Lebanese, he is a Mechanic, married with 2 kids, with his Brother, who came with his Family when they moved to Ottawa,Ontario,Canada., they make a beautiful Family, I truly enjoy anytime I get to be with these people because it is very easy to see that they all care and Love each other, for me, it does my heart good to be around them, the Love they have for each other is easy for anyone to see, so, it's fun for me to see how they behave around each other, plus, I have tremendous happiness to be able to count them amongst my Friends. That's 1 tiny example of what being alive and living life is really about, at least in my eyes and my way of thinking. Please do consider coming to visit our fantastic Nation, possibly even here in Ottawa, Our Nation's Capital City, there's always something fun to do, in the Downtown Area, there's a Festival for every season, one of my favorites, is the Springtime Festival, from roughly the middle of April until June, called, " The Tulip Festival ", along the Canal Parkway, there are hundreds Of thousands of Tulips planted. Thousands are added every year, as an example, by The Dutch People, to say thank you, for protecting their Royal Family, who were marked for extermination during the last world war, thus, both Countries are gleefully proud of this heritage and adding to the Tulip Display Yearly exhibits that pride of doing the right thing for all of the World to behold and remember. Please Consider Coming To Visit, My Sincerest Best Wishes, from A Proud Canadian, Bob.
I can never listen to this anymore without crying. It was the last song at my beautiful wife’s funeral service when I said my final goodbye. We seen Blue Rodeo many times together over the years and both loved their music. Thanks for all the beautiful songs and memories.
I take my hat off to these unquestionable Canadian gentlemen of courage, love,respect and incredible talent. They have given us so much to be thankful for over all these year's. May the great spirit bless all of them, their friends and families forever 🌲🌊🇨🇦🌲💗🌊 I love you ALL forever and for always...no matter what !! 🌲🌲🌲🍁💧🍁🇨🇦🍁💧🍁🌲🌲🌲
+Kevinz63 Maine knows, used to get CHSJ out of St. John, N.B. When music videos first came out (showing age) I'd get a half hour a day after school and I saw "Diamond Mine" and I have pushed these guys on everyone that will take a listen since then, can't say enough of how this music strikes a chord with me..
This was my grandmothers favourite band. She died when I was in middle school. I’d do anything to sit down with her over a cold beer for just a few hours and listen to some Blue Rodeo.
Best Canadian band in my eyes. This song was played at a friends funeral. We went to see Blue Rodeo every time they played in Edmonton Alberta.One year ago we laid Marcus to rest while listening to his favorite band. Thank you for the incredible memories ❤️
A breakup song about how the feeling is sad but the solitude is a welcome change. The writer also had a first hand experience of walking outside watching the lake shore in December and thinking of the same snow falling in the middle of the vast lake. This image is connected to how he feels - somber, lonely, but sort of happy and content with where he is in life.
I have had the pleasure of skating on a natural frozen pond, tramping through Labrador tea coverde in snow in 20 below, finding a small lake hardly anyone has seen and being in the middle of nowhere Northern Ontario, this video gives me that vibe.
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to someone I had so much passion for. Time moves on but beloved songs can make you young again. I love Blue Rodeo
Same here....and maybe a tear or two for good measure. "Vancouver", a song by Reckless Kelly has the same affect on me. No way to hide from those kinds of emotions........
A song that impacted me when I was coming of age, but didn't really understand how... and now that I'm 41, I can see what it meant years back. Real emotion and feeling that it extracted from my creative self. Writing and expression has to come from the true self - never manufactured for commercial publicity. Expression of real emotion, and a truly inspirational Canadian band. Love it!
Oh to be 21 instead 45 , i guess it finally hit me , while i was listening to this song , the years fly by even when the days are long , and that's as far as i can get rewriting this song .

The only time I saw Blue Rodeo perform was at a University bar in September of 1987. Been a fan since and this is my favourite of all their recordings. To this day I stop and listen when the song comes on the radio or I am playing it on my stereo!
One of the greatest songs ever written
God... The snow and stubble, old farmhouse and crappy fences... if there's a better way of portraying the melancholy of a depressing rural winter in Canada I cannot imagine it. Yeah... I just don't know what to say... I watch this and I can literally smell stale cigarette smoke from 20+ years ago and feel the gut punch feeling of being unemployed and stuck broke living with my parents in the middle of nothing but white fields in every direction . Man... stuff like this doesn't normally do much for me, but this video... wow.
I'm from Buffalo New Yorkand I know them. Blue Rodeo is awesome.
I saw them once at Lafayette Square. It was great show.
As a Canadian in Malaysia , watching this video makes me feel at home again, Lake Ontario, the snow, the song, perfect.
This song, in all its beauty and heartache, has literally saved my life and continues to do so.

"Hey hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet". Hah. Never heard a chorus that has as direct a line to my soul as this one. Beautiful words set to beautiful music.
I lost my best friend to cancer two weeks ago. A friendship that spanned almost 50 years. I turned him onto Blue Rodeo in the early 90s and he fell in love with this song. It was on the playlist at his funeral. I will never listen to this song the same again without thinking of him. Love and miss you Dave......forever.
Condolences💔 Hope the music helps you heal.
It doesn't matter where I have seen Blue Rodeo, but they always let the audience fill in on this song. It's almost like a test: if you know the lyrics you are a Canadian. Cuddy and Keelor are Canadian treasures. Greg reminds me so much of my father-on-law, who was also a Cape Bretoner.
as a bass player myself of almost 50 years i must say this bass player really makes this band..He adds so much!! Very talented band one of my favorites!!
38 Yeard old. I loved this song as a child. It just punched me in the face as an adult. 💔
If you grew up in the "Era of Blue Rodeo" you know how iconic this Canadian based band is
Love them 1000% 👍👌💜 best tunes, can listen to them anytime, anyshere, every one knows all the lyrics. Jim Kuddy your amazingly talented, history will be talking / jamming to about and to you for many moons to come
💙💚💛❤💜
I heard this when it came out. Still 1 of my favorites! 🍁👌
Fan since 1987 . 33 years and they still keep going . Such great songwriters .
Canadian music at its best!!! 😊
Great timeless song by a legendary Canadian band.
Happy Birthday, Jim Cuddy!
Hello Madeleine
Hello Madeline how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
I just discovered Blue Rodeo and I think is awesome! Sorry if my english is wrong, I'm peruvian
the best thing about being Canadian is that I could never truly be a Peruvian but you could always become a true Canadian.
The point is you made your feelings known, plus, it's a positive comment and that's a great thing, the Internet brings all of us a little closer together, that is the greatest hope we have of lasting as the human race. Whether you are Peruvian or any other place of origin, you will always be welcome to visit and in some instances stay in Canada, most of my Friends are all from other Countries, Canada is proud to have multi-cultural diversity at it's core. One of my most recent Friends, has his Mom who is Sirian and his Dad who is Lebanese, he is a Mechanic, married with 2 kids, with his Brother, who came with his Family when they moved to Ottawa,Ontario,Canada., they make a beautiful Family, I truly enjoy anytime I get to be with these people because it is very easy to see that they all care and Love each other, for me, it does my heart good to be around them, the Love they have for each other is easy for anyone to see, so, it's fun for me to see how they behave around each other, plus, I have tremendous happiness to be able to count them amongst my Friends. That's 1 tiny example of what being alive and living life is really about, at least in my eyes and my way of thinking. Please do consider coming to visit our fantastic Nation, possibly even here in Ottawa, Our Nation's Capital City, there's always something fun to do, in the Downtown Area, there's a Festival for every season, one of my favorites, is the Springtime Festival, from roughly the middle of April until June, called, " The Tulip Festival ", along the Canal Parkway, there are hundreds Of thousands of Tulips planted. Thousands are added every year, as an example, by The Dutch People, to say thank you, for protecting their Royal Family, who were marked for extermination during the last world war, thus, both Countries are gleefully proud of this heritage and adding to the Tulip Display Yearly exhibits that pride of doing the right thing for all of the World to behold and remember. Please Consider Coming To Visit, My Sincerest Best Wishes, from A Proud Canadian, Bob.
Your English is just fine :) and they are great!
Apelalo never apologize for trying anything especially when you mean well. Only by trying can one learn and improve. :)
Check out Tragically hip great Canadian poetry Even better check out Gordon Lightfoot song early morning raiin
I can never listen to this anymore without crying. It was the last song at my beautiful wife’s funeral service when I said my final goodbye. We seen Blue Rodeo many times together over the years and both loved their music. Thanks for all the beautiful songs and memories.
I take my hat off to these unquestionable Canadian gentlemen of courage, love,respect and incredible talent. They have given us so much to be thankful for over all these year's. May the great spirit bless all of them, their friends and families forever 🌲🌊🇨🇦🌲💗🌊
I love you ALL forever and for always...no matter what !!
🌲🌲🌲🍁💧🍁🇨🇦🍁💧🍁🌲🌲🌲
Reminds me of a time when being Canadian still meant something special.
Been a fan of Blue Rodeo from the beginning...Every song has a special place in my heart....Love this band
The lap steel solo in this song is just exceptional, great musicianship
Best band that nobody in the US knows about!
+Kevinz63 Not true. Im from Florida and Ive loved this song/band for 20 years. Holy shit Im old now lol!
Michigan Knows)
+Kevinz63 Maine knows, used to get CHSJ out of St. John, N.B. When music videos first came out (showing age) I'd get a half hour a day after school and I saw "Diamond Mine" and I have pushed these guys on everyone that will take a listen since then, can't say enough of how this music strikes a chord with me..
+Kevinz63 Buffalo knows. We like to keep them a secret.
+Kip Palmateer i wonder if anyone in any states that arent touching canada know
This was my grandmothers favourite band. She died when I was in middle school. I’d do anything to sit down with her over a cold beer for just a few hours and listen to some Blue Rodeo.
Been listening to this song for 25 years. It's perfect in my opinion.
The best Canadian Band ever🎶
This is one of my favorite Blue Rodeo songs. Jim Cuddy is very talented. I love how this one is quiet and slow and then become louder and faster.
Hello Nancy how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Where have the years gone. Love BR!
Best Canadian band in my eyes. This song was played at a friends funeral. We went to see Blue Rodeo every time they played in Edmonton Alberta.One year ago we laid Marcus to rest while listening to his favorite band. Thank you for the incredible memories ❤️
My mother just died and this is my first time listening to this song, good one😔
A breakup song about how the feeling is sad but the solitude is a welcome change. The writer also had a first hand experience of walking outside watching the lake shore in December and thinking of the same snow falling in the middle of the vast lake. This image is connected to how he feels - somber, lonely, but sort of happy and content with where he is in life.
CANADA ROCKS!
I totally agree with you. 😎
They started this song at Mile One in St. John's a few years ago but didn't get to sing it, the crowd sang it. Excellent.
I have had the pleasure of skating on a natural frozen pond, tramping through Labrador tea coverde in snow in 20 below, finding a small lake hardly anyone has seen and being in the middle of nowhere Northern Ontario, this video gives me that vibe.
Canada can be proud of their
musical heritage. So pure,
melodic, on point . ..Gary

Every time I hear this song it takes me back to someone I had so much passion for. Time moves on but beloved songs can make you young again. I love Blue Rodeo
What a Canadian song. sent chills up my body listening to this after all these years.
Same here....and maybe a tear or two for good measure. "Vancouver", a song by Reckless Kelly has the same affect on me. No way to hide from those kinds of emotions........
My mom used to play this song. Last time i heard it i was 5. Its been a good years. Now it always brings back memories of a simpler time.
so Canadian...love everything about this
Who knew it would all go away. So F'n sad.
A song that impacted me when I was coming of age, but didn't really understand how... and now that I'm 41, I can see what it meant years back. Real emotion and feeling that it extracted from my creative self. Writing and expression has to come from the true self - never manufactured for commercial publicity. Expression of real emotion, and a truly inspirational Canadian band. Love it!
Classic and proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦❤️😊
Oh to be 21 instead 45 , i guess it finally hit me , while i was listening to this song , the years fly by even when the days are long , and that's as far as i can get rewriting this song .
