      If you can imagine, I only heard this song for the first time a couple of days ago in the car. I burst into tears and had to pull over when Gord started singing!

    Gord Downies lyrics in this song gives me goosebumps. Just a beautiful song which highlights the talents of both artists.

    This song is so haunting, I keep listening to it over and over again.....really a classic for all time I think

    Gordon you inspired me to continue with my passion of making animations about the indigenous history and mental illness, I will be graduating this year of 2019 and going to school in Calgary to help people liked you’ve helped me. And Dallas you have helped me throughout junior high and high school coping with my chronic illness. Whenever I’m in the hospital I listen to ur songs which made me stronger each stay I’ve went. And alexsionfire through my Emo phase lol (I still listen to it). Thank you both, RIP Gordon, you are a legend in my eyes.

    Words cannot explain the talent this man holds. He writes songs that speak to every different person in their own way. No matter what it feels like the song was written specifically for you. No other artist out there has yet to accomplish what he has.

    It's like they read my mind, transcribed it into poetic words, and put it to music. I love this song.

  • @RainbowsRuleYourFish
    @RainbowsRuleYourFish 14 лет назад +4

    Even if this is a 4 chord song, its one of the best songs.
    It gives Canadian music some redemption from some other artists who don't deserve to be mentioned.
    Dallas Green is a true artist and he is definately one that makes me so proud to be Canadian.

  • @chrisgreene2405
    @chrisgreene2405 7 лет назад +3

    Beautiful song . Great simple cord progression no processed vocals and combined with the poignant lyrics of both him and Gord Downie this song will be around awhile. It appeals not only to young people but also anyone older. Well done

    Dallas Green with his other band City and Colour here just keeps hitting homeruns with the music he writes for this band. These are some seriously deep and well written songs and this one just keeps that train a rollin' on down the tracks. Very catchy. I love this song.

    There are some songs which are good and you listen to them for a while and then there are songs which will be with you for the rest of your life.
    For me this is one of those songs which will be played at my funeral in about 70 years.

    Heard this in my friend's car yesterday, and absolutely fell in love with it!! Props to Canadian musicians. My favorite band is a Canadian rock group named Default, and now this guy has given me one of my new favorite songs (: Too bad these artists don't get enough airplay here in the States!

    Idk that there's a song that could better describe the past 30 days of my life. After a very traumatic event this song is exactly like what I've been feeling and going through. The side effects of PTSD literally made me feel like I was losing my mind and didn't know where to turn. Luckily for me, I had one outlet in the form of a psychiatrist I've been seeing for a long time who's helped me in a lot of tough times and reassured me that I wasn't going insane but rather had PTSD. Amazing song...
