Thank you Adam and thank you Harri! Your fans and patrons have you reacting to so much great Canadian music that I'm sorry, but we're going to have to nominate you as an honorary citizen, eh? Love this channel!!
I used to tell international students, when you understand Blue Rodeo you understand traditional Canada. It is the music of a vast, cold, folksy, beautiful land.
I'm Australian, but have a lot of family in Canada. I've been there many times in the last 40 years and just came back from a seven week visit. This song, more than any other reminds me of Canada and my family there.
I’ve seen them live over two dozen times, starting in Ottawa in 1990. I’ve seen them in Kitchener, in London, in Toronto, in Calgary, in Stratford. I saw them with my late wife. I’ve seen them with my current wife. I saw them in February and I’ll be seeing them again in a few weeks. All of which is to say that you need to see a live version of this song, which is typically either the closer or one of the encore songs. Nowadays, everyone in the crowd sings it with the band. As a matter of fact, I think I’ve posted a couple of live versions of it myself. They are Canada’s premiere rock band now, with Rush and the Tragically Hip both over due to he death of critical band members. They have 16 studio albums and counting and are coming up on 40 years together too. Happy to provide recommendations for more.
Thank you Harri. I've seen them numerous times with my dad and they sound the same live as recorded. My dad was a guitar player blue grass mostly I was a rocker and we found BR as a band we both loved. Hearing this song made me emotional as he passed away in January and I've been missing him since. Appreciate your reaction
I love Blue Rodeo!! They are amazing! I have all of their cd's and have been a huge fan for many years. Many years ago I wrote a letter to the band's fan club, and I received a hand written note from Jim Cuddy's wife telling me thanks for loving the band and supporting their music. I cherished that letter and still do. I saw them years ago at an outdoor summer Princess Island Folk Festival here in Calgary and I love this song. Thanks for the great reaction video :)
@@pacard33 this is what I found in a search. Blue Rodeo's song "Flying" appears on the soundtrack to the television show Due South as track 10, album released in 1996.
I also saw them at the Prince's island folk festival. Maybe around 2002-04. I was pretty young around 12yrs old. They have always been my favourite band.
@@pacard33 I first heard this on the TV show Ed. Instantly blew me away and turned me into a Blue Rodeo fan. Also learned about Ron Sexsmith, another amazing Canadian artist from this show.
Harri -wish I could hit the like button 100 times on this one. I was just as pleased as you the first time I heard this one. A top favorite from the 90s for sure. This song endures, forever great!
Thanks Harri. So glad I requested this song. Maybe my favorite song from these guys and their incredible catalog of great songs. Greg Keeler and Jim Cuddy were born to sing together and the band is so tight it's wonderful. Cheers from my little island of Haida Gwaii.
Thanks Adam-this has long been a favorite of mine, too. It’s really special… I’m from USA, but grew up near Detroit, just North of Windsor, Ont., always loved getting so much Canadian music.
thank you Adam from Alberta 🇨🇦. My fave band, would love to hear Bad Timing! háw'aa. I have their 25th cbc concert and Devon Cuddy does an incredible version on piano of Rain Down On Me. ❤
Adam, great choice of songs, brings back so many great memories. I grew up in Kitimat, across from Haida Gwaii. Although I haven’t been in many years, Haida Gwaii is certainly one of the most beautiful places on earth.
@blackbird8900 I turned 50 and was doing mental health crisis and overdose response on the downtown east side. Paying crazy rent and out of a 12 year relationship. I said fk it and moved here. In Daajing Giids, there is not that goes by that I don't thank the soul of this place for allowing me to live here.
Adam, this is a very pleasant song. I’m not familiar with this band but they have a great sound that makes me want to hear more. That mandolin is delicious. Nice summary from Harri 🌺✌️
Hey there Debbie, try the song 5 Days in May from the same album. Kind of a sweeping love song with what some call the worst guitar solo ever. I however like it a lot.
This is my fave Blue Rodeo song. I used to live about 50 meters from Lake Ontario here in Toronto - it hits me every time. Blue Rodeo uses the courier company I work for and I've met Jim and Greg (the singers) a few times. Super-nice guys! Thanks for another great reaction! Blue Rodeo are Canadian icons! ❤ 🇨🇦 ❤
From their 1994 album, "5 Days in July" , their debut album, this is such a lovely song. Jim and Greg's harmonies are so perfect in sharing the emotion of the lyrics. The beautiful mondolin such a great treat and unexpected. Was lucky enough to see this performed live in a smaller venue, you could hear a pin drop it was so emotional. Great choice Adam. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Adam 👏 👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Sorry for being pedantic, but Terry Brown only produced BR’s first album, Outskirts, after having worked with them as sound engineer for a year and a half beforehand. I can’t agree more with everything else you said though.
Not sure exactly what it was with this song, but I played the shit out of it. I've always loved Blue Rodeo, have seen them probably 5 times live. Jim Cuddy is the absolutely million dollar voice for this band, by Greg Keelor kills it with this one (like a Diamond Mine). Absolutely embarrassed I haven't thought to request them. More Canadian Talent - thanks Hari ! and GREAT request !
Many, many years ago I was in a used record shop (yep, that long ago) and one of the clerks put on a song that caught my attention...particularly when the lyric "I feel like William Holden floating in a pool" hit....I HAD to ask who that group was...fast forward a year or two and I was very happy to see them on their Casino tour supporting Lucinda Williams...quite a talented group...have been listening ever since....thanks Harri for reacting to this and to Andy for the recommendation. Cheers.
Adam - Blue Radio has been a go-to song of mine for years. There are more treasures in every one of their albums. Regrettably, I never saw them in concert. for me. I never saw them in concert. This was a superb submission to submit and share. Great review, Harri.
What will blow you away about blue rodeo is how they always do what is right for the song. The guy singing this song is only one of 2 vocalists in the band. The other is Jim Cuddy, who has an angelic voice that matches any great rock vocalist out there. And yet he knows when Greg's raunchy rockabilly sound is right for the song
I'm not seeing a lot of love for the pedal steel. For the record, I have seen this band 12 times in concert, which puts me way, way down the list of true Blue Rodeo fans.

Two distinct lead singers in this 🇨🇦 band
Jim cuddy and Greg Keeler
Greg is singing this one
And therefore two aamasing harmony voices.
Hey thanks (from little old Canadian me) for this. My late sister's favourite of theirs.
One of CANADA's greatest bands, you can't go wring with any of their songs. Amazing talent in that band...
I’ve seen them live over two dozen times, starting in Ottawa in 1990. I’ve seen them in Kitchener, in London, in Toronto, in Calgary, in Stratford. I saw them with my late wife. I’ve seen them with my current wife. I saw them in February and I’ll be seeing them again in a few weeks.

Ithink this is one of their best.

I know they did the intro music, but was this song ever featured during an EPISODE of Due South?

They have put out 16 albums since 1987, not including live albums or compilations.

@@SnowDogisVictorious Thanks for the information. Over 70, lol. I appreciate it. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
This is one of my favorite bands. They sound just as good as this LIVE!

I saw this tour, the singer of this song Greg Keelor said this song was about the nervous breakdown that hasn't hit him yet.
I love Blue Rodeo and they had a street named after them in Toronto. Also, they had a song named Cynthia!!! Thanks Adam and Harri.
One of my very favourite groups. It’s unusual that both lead singers write music. They are so talented. Thanks for playing them.
Love the reaction, love the song, love your Miro in the background... 🙂
As you like BR, bet you would enjoy Cowboy Junkies - Misguided Angel or Sweet Jane.
I'm not even a BR fan but 'Diamond Mine' is iconic. Jim Cuddy has the pipes.
A great Canadian band.

The other is Jim Cuddy, who has an angelic voice that matches any great rock vocalist out there. And yet he knows when Greg's raunchy rockabilly sound is right for the song
They have a song called "How Long" that's terrific too.
Great band!
Saw these wonderful people a few years ago! Fave Band! ❤❤❤ PLEASE react to Rose Coloured Glasses or Rain Down on Me. Also Bad Timing!!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Looks like Adam is foisting all this great, relatively unknown, Canadian music on you lol.
💞💞💞
I'm not seeing a lot of love for the pedal steel. For the record, I have seen this band 12 times in concert, which puts me way, way down the list of true Blue Rodeo fans.
The pedal steel is gorgeous
