I'm so glad that you got to hear this special heart of Canada. There is NOBODY who ever put their heart on their sleeve like Dan Hill. He had another big & heartfelt song from later in his life. I would have loved for you to hear that one too - "Can't We Try" (in a duet with Vonda Sheppard). Can't We Try was actually written by him & his wife. He did the first draft when they were in the middle of a fight & after he read it to her she said she wanted her point of view in there too. Again, it is a phenomenal song.
I haven’t heard this song for ages. It was a sweet song that came out right after I got out of high school, yes I’m old. 👍thanks for bringing back the memories. Love your reviews!
This was his biggest hit outside of Canada. It topped the chart in his native country, while it went up to #3 on the Billboard chart in 1977. I had actually heard about him when I listened to a song from 1985, which was a huge collaboration of Canadian artists which he was a part of. The song was "Tears Are Not Enough" by Northern Lights, which was more or less Canada's answer to "We Are the World", as it also raised money for African famine relief at the time.
Spot-on! I love everything about this jam. You’re picking some phenomenal songs!
This was a monster hit back in the day. I actually saw a concert of his then.
I LOVE this song!! Havent heard it for a while, but it is amazing the lyrics just comes back when the music plays

Great song. Dan has so many more beautiful songs. Excellent singer songwriter ❤
I always loved his raw voice and the power of this very intense song.
Amazing song by him!!! So sweet :) Another excellent song is "Can't We Tray" he sings with Vonda Shepard. Definitely worth a listen!
Huge hit! Love it! 💖👍🙂
Oh wow I haven't heard this in years!
Under-rated Canadian singer...
You should try a Scottish band called Skerryvore and their song called ( Take My Hand )
Listen to Dan Hill….. duet (Can’t we Try)
