When I was in Canada some 15 years ago, I accidentally dropped my wallet in a store. Seconds later, a lovely man in red serge tapped me on the shoulder, 'excuse me Ma'am, I think you dropped this'. He handed me my wallet and I was star struck. I was too shy to ask if we could get a picture together, but my host wasn't, he went up to the fellow and asked. So, I have a photo as a reminder. But, it really was like stepping into the TV set. God, I love this show, and if the young man who returned my wallet is reading this, I want to say: thank you for not only returning my wallet, but giving me one of the best memories of your beautiful country that I ever had.
confirmed mountie here. after a real ptsd incident this song held me together for weeks. thanks Paul. I know you've moved on, but you were the difference when I needed one. my house is yours.
My grandpa broke horses and raised a lot of kids. One of them married a Canadian. She was my godmother. This is so great. Don't know what else I can say..
I grew up north of 60. I always have great respect for those who dress in the Red Surge. Some great memories with outstanding officers. And some funny ass moments. And as someone who has, call them moments... Huge Hugs.
Oh - how true. I've seen the series in the 1990th when I was a teen. How I wish there were just a few seasons more. Fraser was quite influential on me ... I'd like to keep rules just like him. ^^
Always wanted to get, but either never had money when in stock or never in stock when had money. By time could think order online, price nuts now hard to find. But is on Netflix and recently rewatched entire series.
@@marcelmoreau2733 I feel your pain - I'm hunting for the whole series in German dubbing (my parents are huge fans too since the 1990th, but both don't speak English). I have series 1&2, but 3&4 would cost over 70 Euro. :o
@@chrishieke1261 for a lomg time they aired in on a french channel out of Quebec here in Canada. At like 2 in afternoon on tues and thurs or some odd sched like that. They did the same thing with the 199ps superman show Lois and Clark, played in repeats until at least 2014 or so.
I got a husky because of this show after seeing Dief.. She gave me the most wonderful 9 years of my life, till I had to let her pass. This show is still one of my favourites of all time!!
I was in my mid-to-late late 20's when Due South was on the air. I'm 50 now. It's amazing to me that so much time has passed! Paul Gross is one of my favorite actors, and he's not a bad singer, either. Not to mention, easy on the eyes! I miss this show. We need it back on the air. Maybe INSP or one of the other Satellite networks will show reruns of it. A lot of today's TV shows just don't appeal to me. Television was sooooo much better during the 20th century!
A lovely thing about this show is that you can watch it when you're a kid, a young teen, and an adult, and you'll get more from it every time. You can enjoy the hero and buddy-cop plots at any age. Get a little older and you start to appreciate the way Fraser and Ray (either of them) are almost always there for each other, and the times when they aren't just serve to make it obvious that the partnership is intentional and worth the trouble. And then you get older, and start to appreciate how good-looking several of the actors are, and feel the turbulence of their love problems. And then you realize that the whole time, they were demonstrating civic duty and basic decency toward those who are less fortunate, and these are things that aren't often demonstrated in the media. But these everyday things seeped into your understanding of how regular people should behave, and how everybody can be a hero to somebody.
@@OrigamiMarie My feelings exactly about this! I first watched Due South as an adult, and your last paragraph sums up my reaction. I get the other points; I'm overjoyed to see so many people here commenting about how it has influenced their childhood. We need more tv shows like this. The stories we tell our children are so important - they guide the advancement (or decay) of our society.
+Ji Fan i sincerely hope you remember these comments when you are as 'old' as paul gross is now. btw, he is only 58. and i hope someone as ignorant as you makes an equally insulting, childish comment about your getting older. good luck to you. you'll certainly need it, as short sighted and ill informed as you are.
+summo55 yeah, i'm sure you're right. mocking someone for their age is soooooo fucking funny. how could i have missed the 'lighthearted' tone... it'll be funny to you, i'm certain, as you get older. the stupidity of youth.
Due South is the greatest Canadian television show of it's kind ever. Paul and David made the best duo. Where else could you have a bunch of guys dressed in red surge singing and get away with it. "All The Queens Horses", the episode with the song in it is the best episode, next to "Juliet is Bleeding".
I would suggest two edits: You can drop "Canadian" and there's no other show of its' kind. The first two seasons of this show were among the finest of tv shows ever.
I first head this song when I was, like, 5 and my parents were watching re-runs. I haven't heard it in years and I can still say without a doubt it is one of my favourite songs. It means so much to me, and I believe it to be one of the truest representations of Canadian spirit.
Some of the good shows of the 90s like Due South, The Pretender and Early Edition even though a bit repetitive. These shows with good stories only lasted four seasons I would have liked to see one more for each show.
Fun fact: Leslie Nielsen was the son of a Mountie. And he sang the theme for his short sixties Disney series Swamp Fox. Kinda odd having a Canadian play a US Revolutionary War hero...
I am from England this series was absolutely amazing great music too sadly they don't make series like this anymore it's all fake crap reality shows😕😕😕
I remember watching this episode when it came out on TV. It was my favorite! Love the song, love the comedy, love the romance. Watching 1:18 and 2:20 here, I hear the wonderful dialog from the episode in my mind. Quite honestly, the romantic relationship between Fraser and Thatcher warms the heart. Never gets old. Thanks for putting this up.
My Dad, who passed from Covid a year ago, used to love this show. He wanted to be Benton so badly (respectful, knowledgeable, and useful in every occasion). We got this show back out as part of nostalgia. My family had a hockey tourney in Niagara, was listening to the show in the van on the way up from Pittsburgh. Now we can't get this song out of our heads. Paul Gross is so talented.
Thanks for that! I recall reading that Leslie was excited to be part of Due South due to his dad being a Mountie. what a blow to the industry his death was - no one does comedy like leslie did.
I agree with you totally Leslie Nielsen was the most funniest man and he is truly missed and I also like Gordon Pinsent he too as well as being serious actor is very funny too I hope that they will be a Due South movie and get all the cast and crew in making it I would love to see it and it would be fun😊
Loved this song, loved the sound tracks when I had them, but did have a few of my favorite songs saved. The song reminds me of my grandfather, and of my dad. May they ride forever.
one of my most favourite shows of all time and my inspiration for visiting Canada recently, Tv isnt the same without shows Like Due South, a classic show.
Paul, if things dont work out, and I don't make it past November, please send a copy of this song to my children (all 4 of them) so they can have it for my funeral. Ha ce qa Ha ce qya Wassnt Unst Snu'wuy'uth - "I lift my arms to honor you for telling me who you are" \o/ -- means "Heey'o'wuth" - which means roughly "that's all for now" UWA (no) Goodbyes ever Mon Amie.Gentiment.
A couple of years ago my daughter found the box set and bought them for me for Christmas. About a year later, she borrowed to binge watch. Then sent them back home. She 'thinks'. Now she wants to watch them again, but I don't have them. sigh I sure hope she finds them, because I still haven't had a chance to watch them the first time. We watched that show together when she was a kid, and it turned her on to Canadian music and Canadian History. I know it's just a TV series. But it opened doors.
..loving the re runs on 'alibi tv' ..my vav show of all time, was a bit cringy when he started singin but when they all kicked in i pissed meslelf..love it!!!
Muy gratos recuerdos,las mejores series fueron las que se produjeron en el siglo pasado,entre la década de los 80-90, lastima que ya no hagan seríes así como "directo al sur" y con tan excelentes actores como Paul gross y demás reparto,transmitían humor,sátira y valores
I see myselve ridding on my bike with my dog nearby..wearring big old sun glasses in the sunset accompanied by this song theme..what a beautifull dream, what a beautifull song!!!
This Video has it all Trains Horses Mounties Beautiful Girls and Great Music and Humor,I have the entire series on DVD and watch everything Paul Gross does I am waiting for Gun-less to be come available.

If you watched this as a kid then your life was awesome :)
Chad Kroeger im only 13 and yet im watching this in 2018
I did and my life is still awesome😁
I watched it as an adult, and I think it was one of the greatest shows ever broadcast.
Never missed an episode 😁
Many lessons learned. As a kid we all wanted to be Benton lol !

Sweet! This is more of nostalgia for me but what you wrote is always nice to hear. As a 100 % heterosexual man, Paul Gross has me hinging. xD
We're gonna ride forever

This is one of the best TV-series......EVER made!
yupp
I remember loving it when it came out, but now i am so confused.
Facts
I second that
100%
confirmed mountie here. after a real ptsd incident this song held me together for weeks. thanks Paul. I know you've moved on, but you were the difference when I needed one. my house is yours.
Buddy. I hear ya. 30 years on the job. Done now. This brings a tear every time! Maintien Le droit...
I hear you both. I’m American, but that doesn’t matter. I thank you for your service.
Chicago Police. Ditto. This song has always been special to me.

I became a police officer because of this show. And I always got my man!
Amazing song! For MTV Persia - Ahfarin!
Afarin bar shoma! 🇮🇷👏 As a kid, I used to watch this series & enjoyed it a lot, I can say Benton Fraser was the first man I fell in love with! 😍 Lol
Wow.
I own the whole series on DVD. Still watch it to this day. Brings back happier times.

I'm sorry you lost her. I too, have lost a dog. I hope you have another companion to share your time with.
always gives me shivers when the chorus comes in
Something about a bunch of men singing in unison like this just makes my spirit fly.
REST IN PIECE LESLIE NIELSEN :'(

He is in peace.

PEACE .
I thought he looked familiar.
Now I know why I became Canadian. This stirs pride in this Scottish boy slash Canadian heart.
73Scottie so why did you become Canadian ? ... Whats wrong with being Scottish ?
I still love this show Due South after all these years :-) Ride Forever is my favorite song. I love Paul Gross! :-) :-) :-) :-)
Charlotte Tanner My favorite show from day one--totally inspiring. I'm glad it's still alive through fans like you1
Paul Gross is so Damn Sexy even now.
+Charlotte Tanner I'd definitely agree with that
yessssss!

I like this song, it's strangely moving and sentimental. Gross did a very nice job and I loved the Mountie chorus and charge,
This made me decide to binge all 4 series. It was even better than the first time I watched it

I loved this show. The idea of a fary tail hero of virtue and honor will be never out of style.
That's one hell of a song.
Tom Nutts indeed it is
Grew up with this as a family sound track. Took us through many a long journey
The handshake through the toilet bowl was pure gold.
Paul Gross is amazing
He was, wasn't he! Such a swoonsome top notch dude :)
LOL i know...but he's old now. He was amazing and dashing in Due South for sure, but now not anymore heh
+Ji Fan i sincerely hope you remember these comments when you are as 'old' as paul gross is now. btw, he is only 58. and i hope someone as ignorant as you makes an equally insulting, childish comment about your getting older. good luck to you. you'll certainly need it, as short sighted and ill informed as you are.

+summo55 yeah, i'm sure you're right. mocking someone for their age is soooooo fucking funny. how could i have missed the 'lighthearted' tone... it'll be funny to you, i'm certain, as you get older. the stupidity of youth.

Apparently he had to show Paul Gross the proper way for a Mountie to tie his bootlaces. He learned it rom his dad .
Absolutely beautiful, a great song about a life not to long ago.
At the next RCMP Musical ride they should use this song! Lol! I love it. Gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it! :D
Great song, reminiscent of a time when the RCMP was still a respected and noble agency. I miss it.
We watch this show at least once a year - can’t get enough of it or of Canada.
Love this show! Tear up every time I Watch this! Need More Shows Like THIS!
RIIIIIIIIDE FOREVER!!!
Look at this! imgur.com/gallery/ao2WQ "We'll, I've been called a coward, but I've seen two World Wars And I lost my son, Virgil, my Korean reward"
God how I loved this series!
Now this is the way to end a series.

I miss shows like this Paul gross was awesome
When I become a Canadian Citizen, this song may be in my head the moment I'll be taking my oath and I'm sure I'll start crying a river :)
Hey friend, I hope you made it here to the Great White North.

I used to watch this with my family whenever it was on, time has sadly moved on now and I'm all that's left, can't stop crying listening to this.
I REALLY.. REALLY LOVE Paul Gross, and this song..LOVE !!
i watched this with my father when i was a kid. amazing experience.
Обожаю Канаду за её утонченность, сплоченность и конечно же.. За красный цвет🎨 ❤❤❤
Kocham Cię Aniu💋
Listened to this for nearly 20 years, but this was the first time I had sent the music alongside a video. Great song!
Great song, Great RCMP
I want them to play this at my funeral.
Me too! Especially the chorus! YOU CAN'T KEEP HORSEMEN IN A CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE...! :D
