I’ve seen them also. Here in Michigan and in Canada when on a ski trip. Such a great band. Five Days in May is a masterpiece. Greg’s guitar at end is mesmerizing. My favourite line ever is “She loved the lines around his mouth”. 🎶 ♥️
There are a lot of great Canadian bands like Blue Rodeo, Glass Tiger, The Guess Who, Bachmann Turner Overdrive, Triumph, and there's a lot more! But I have to say that Blue Rodeo is STELLAR, along with Glass Tiger which is my favorite band.
One of the most beautiful compositions written and played ever. Inspired by a crew member of the band, writing his wife's name in the sand. Goosebumps, each and every time.
"Five Days in May" is as moving and as touching and heartfelt a love story as any to be found in literature, in a novel or poetry or on stage or film. Every time I hear it, it brings tears to my eyes. It is the Platonic ideal in a song, what we all wish love could be and some of us are lucky enough to have found it, and others of us have lost it, or are still seeking it. Most of the time I'm singing along either in my mind or at the top of my lungs...
I really like the drumming. It gives the song a very unique feel. I also like the piano, melody, vocals, lyrics, bass, guitar, harmonica, dynamics, sound quality and overall feel.
I agree. I am in Buffalo New York and I fell in love with this song after hearing it on the radio. I would love to explore more of this group’s music. The piano is hypnotic. Very nice sound Entirely excellent. ❤
I don't know why they never made it in the u.s but last year I was bored and going threw utube and looking for something different and came across one of their songs .don't remember which one but do remember that it hit me to check this band out and they have some great music not their style isn't what we're used to un ybe lower 48 but still a fantastic band and I'll probably never make it to Canada but if they make it to Florida I'd go see them a great band and I guess I'm their no.1 fan here
This song reminds me of my first love. We never did get together romantically, just stayed as good friends, and still are. But I never felt like that about a girl before, and never felt anything like that since. I think she felt the same about me, but it was just really bad timing for both of us. Anyways she moved to the other side of the country and is married to a great guy and has 4 children. But this song always brings me back to the day I realized i loved her. We went to the beach, I wrote her name in the sand! true story
I have always loved Jim's Cuddy's songwriting and voice and in turn Blue Rodeo. That violin ...just WOW ! Talk about heart to hand connection ! What happened to the guitar solo ? Somebody asleep at the switch or equipment malfunction ?....that was actually comical to watch ...took a moment or two to realize they had the violin dialled in for the guitar solo ....lol. Superb performance overall by all ...I can only assume the guitarst as well :)
Blue Rodeo has their own sound. One of the best bands worldwide. Immense talent. Saw them in Niagara Falls early December. Good show. They didn’t seem thrilled to be there. Was front row and Greg invited fans to come up to the stage. There were girls dancing falling into us. Won’t do that again. Will get a seat a bit back. We left early.
Back in the '80s, my buddy asked me to go and see this band with him at RPM, down on Front Street in Toronto, because they were going to be really famous, he said. That band was Blue Rodeo. :D
😮 So it was in May? been thinking it was in July, So I've been really lost... Wish you could take me back to those days as i've been trying to trace those days back to the beginning. Thank you Blue Rodeo, for this song. Salute to yous!❤
Kellor's solo in this is so quirky yet cool, how he combined it is unique. Even more cool is they chose this one over probably many he laid down for this recording...
Love BR myself. And this is by far my favorite from them. However, just FYI, hurricane season starts June 1st but the storms actually start forming in mid may. Which is only 2 weeks before the season actually starts. So all in all, yes, this song does make sense.
For Vera Miller, these guys are in Ontario right now, where they live. They just did two shows at the Kee to Bala on October 11/12, and are scheduled to do two shows in Brantford in November.
+gvbezoff it has been some time that i have listened to them and never knew that i had a answer to my question ,, thanks for the info have a great day/evening
i knew this song and this group a few months ago, a friend from Canada showed them to me, I am in love with the harmonica and with my friend too. Unfortunately the feeling was not mutual, so I was left with a good memory and some good songs. Greetings from Perú.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dedicated to James and Olivier Milroy. This was filmed in the South Lane of the Milroy farm on Steele’s Avenue. J and O are 6 generation Milroy’s from James Milroy originally from Scotland.
God this is really the beautiful product talented music artist can create, avoiding the dominating influence of big US producers. This will not get a lot of US air play, big companies rule so sorry US, but Canada loves them so Canadian..
My wife was in Toronto and saw them performing on a street corner on Yonge St. She said there were about 20 people standing there. Later that day they played by Union Station. Apparently it was to publicise a new release. I think this was in 2007. She has bee a fan ever since.
I LOVED YOUR CONCERT IN CROSS LAKE MANITOBA YEARS AGO...SOMEONE FROM YOUR BAND AUTOGRAPHED MY ORANGE AND BLACK TRACK SUIT ANYWAY THANK YOU TO WHICH EVERYONE THST WAS I NEVER FORGOT IT I WAITING FOR YOU GUYS TO COME OUT OF THE DRESSING ROOM... I DIDN'T EXPECT IT...
Please come back to Truro, Nova Scotia!! I had tickets to your show years ago, but I was sick and couldn't go 😢 It was also not long before my ex-husband wanted to separate, and he wouldn't go with me to your concert.

I have had the deep honour and privilege to see them perform live. Greg Keelor and Jim Cuddy are Canadian music legends

I just hope.....
...this keeps up ....
This album was Blue Rodeo's masterpiece! A true classic and this song represents everything about the band in 7 min 24 seconds!🇨🇦❤️🎸😎👍
Unbelievable! Canadian music is amazing 🍁
that's for sure
for sure, so underappreciated by many
Lol just unbelievable good music. Canada just produces some
Omg they're CANADIAN?!?!? YAY!!! I had no idea. I love this song. I was just looking for awesome Canadian songwriters. 🇨🇦 ❤️
There are a lot of great Canadian bands like Blue Rodeo, Glass Tiger, The Guess Who, Bachmann Turner Overdrive, Triumph, and there's a lot more! But I have to say that Blue Rodeo is STELLAR, along with Glass Tiger which is my favorite band.
5 days in May, is one of the best song's ever written, anyone who dislikes this beautiful song needs to reevaluate there values in life.

..never even let go of her hand ..

gotta love every song Blue Rodeo ever wrote and the live performance is so awesome....
Blue Rodeo are amazing Canadian musicians and we love them
This song almost always makes me cry - of happiness because it is so beautiful!
I Play in a Cover band and we play this Song. The crowd loves it. I am a drummer and just love this groove. It's so laid back.
This song makes me cry and dance and sing and feel everything human can feel for those they love.
country, folk, rock, classical, CANADA.
I totally agree!! When my best friend introduced me to BLUE RODEO back in 1995, changed my life. I left my abusive husband, and never went back!!
I really like the drumming. It gives the song a very unique feel. I also like the piano, melody, vocals, lyrics, bass, guitar, harmonica, dynamics, sound quality and overall feel.
All around solid peice of music !!
This band has not received the recognition it should have....amazing to see them live.
U are so right, I saw them life they were the best I have ever seen!!!
This beautiful song bring up my spirit. Every time I listen to it .I just love it.
This is my mom's favourite song. I think it's pretty close to essential myself. The guitar solo is just a straight up classic.
Sure is eh
There has to be a story behind that solo. I’m guessing he had a moment when they were rehearsing and they signalled him to keep going.
I will love this song forever!
Grew up listening to all kinds of music like this because of my mom. Brings back a lot of memories.
Jai Sin my fiend Nola took me to them that was six yrs god rest his soul
I grew up with my dad playing this music , and I am so very grateful for that xo
One of my favorite songs, beautiful lyrics and beautiful emotions. . . truly a great song.
Love everything about this band, about this song! Amazing Canadian PROUD!
I agree. I am in Buffalo New York and I fell in love with this song after hearing it on the radio. I would love to explore more of this group’s music. The piano is hypnotic. Very nice sound Entirely excellent. ❤
i remember seeing them in the pubs in edm canada..this was before they hit it big..always a great band to see now
This is a masterpiece!Period.
Made all the stars around them shin

PNW, American. I judge a nation by how much they rock. Canada you are tops. I love you so very much. Your music has touched my heart & my soul.
It's both beautiful and haunting. A perfect love story.
"...Oh, she loved the lines around his mouth..."

What happened here?
Love this tune!!!
These guys have some very good songs - this is just 1 of them . . . have the CD. Lots of great music back in the '90s.
Good chord progression, good lyrics, good melody and even a bit of heavy guitar ...what’s there not to like..........
epic song; love to sway to the music as it goes thru you........close your eyes and imagine the person you love
I love the song but I love all Blue Rodeo songs. Great lyrics in this one too.
So proud Of our Canadian music!
Heard this morning on the radio! CRANKED it way up!
😮 So it was in May? been thinking it was in July, So I've been really lost... Wish you could take me back to those days as i've been trying to trace those days back to the beginning. Thank you Blue Rodeo, for this song. Salute to yous!❤

ahhahaha 🤣🤣🤣
“sometimes the world begins and set you up on your feet again and oh it wipes the tears from your eyes”
❤
Inspiringly beautiful.
I remember so well when I first heard this song and fell in love with Blue Rodeo. Still love all their music. ❤
In so happy i got To ses Bleu Rodeo this summer in Edmonton....they were great...💙
this is such a beautiful song
Great harmony!
Kellor's solo in this is so quirky yet cool, how he combined it is unique. Even more cool is they chose this one over probably many he laid down for this recording...
Great song, awesome video
My favorite solo for ever
May isn't hurricane season.... but I adore BR. Saw them last night. Incredible show!!!
Love BR myself. And this is by far my favorite from them.
However, just FYI, hurricane season starts June 1st but the storms actually start forming in mid may. Which is only 2 weeks before the season actually starts. So all in all, yes, this song does make sense.
Seriously the best music ever!!!
Beautiful song
One of our favorites, chill and so envoûtant
RIP....my sweet Bill, I will love you always,you were the 1.....xo
❤
I saw them in Bonnyville AB about 15 years ago. Fantastic evening.
