Moved to Canada in the late 80's and this song had just been released. Instantly I fell in love with the song and the band. And now 35 years later, I'm 60 years old and this song brings back a ton of memories. Over the years, I got to know and appreciate numerous Canadian artists, such as Northern Pikes, Glass Tiger, Brian Adams, Alannah Myles, Barenaked Ladies, Rush etc. 80's is truly the golden era of music. CAN WE PLEASE BRING BACK THE 80'S?
Loved this band since they first came to be. Never saw them play live before, but me at 53 years old currently and with them here next month in Winnipeg I’ll finally get to. 🐟
Great harmonies ❤❤❤❤songs always catchy I remember driving thru the Okanagan listening to all the 90s coolio crap it was awesome Thank you for real music 😅fun while it lasted
And this one too like I just commented on the "Let's Pretend" page. I'd say I owe it to the Pikes for making me understand the meaning of the word astray 😅, sure as hell didn't learn that in grade 5 English.
The Northern Pikes were the first band I went to go see live. I liked the show, but it was a shame I was only sixteen at the time... I never felt I really 'got' these songs until I was well into my twenties.

Miss the Northern Pikes.. We called the cassette the fish tape and played it so much all the print wore off!!!
I did that to my Tragically Hip "Road Apples" tape!
Happy that they are Canadians like me.
The Northern Pikes and Melanie Doane two fine Canadian talent.

This was a song that saw them branch out ,in my opinion.
You wrote some good tunes Brian. The Pikes were an excellent band.
Yeah I liked them when I was 15 in1990 but really appreciate it now lol
