    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.

    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

      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.

    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.

      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.

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!

    This ain't nothing new to me
    Well it's just like going home
    It's kind of like those sunsets
    That leave you feeling so stoned
    Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
    I fell through this crack and I kind of lost my head
    I stand transfixed before this streetlight
    Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
    Never thought this could happen
    But somehow the feeling is gone
    You got sick of the patterns
    And I got lost in this song
    Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
    I fell through this crack and I kind of lost my head
    I stand transfixed before this streetlight
    Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
    Hey, hey, I guess it hasn't hit me yet
    I fell through this crack and I kind of lost my head
    I stand transfixed before this streetlight
    Watching the snow fall on this cold December night
    And out in the middle of Lake Ontario
    The same snow is falling
    On the deep silent water
    The great dark wonder
    Into the waves of my heart
    Into the waves of my heart
    Of my heart

    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.
