Blue Rodeo was criminally overlooked in the States. I can just remember these guys hitting the airwaves around 1990 as I was graduating high school, starting college. Good honest band playing good honest music and I made a committment to keep track of them. Then, grunge and the alternative wave hit, and they got lost in the flotsam. It wasn't until the dawn of the internet that I was able to go back and search them out and catch up on some of their music. Damn good band. Damn good songs.
I am Brazilian and once I was bored to listen to the same songs. I randomly started listening to unknown international radio stations. This song started playing out of nowhere. I ran to get my cell phone and activate Shazam. How lucky, today I'm addicted to the Blue Rodeo.
A very dear friend of mine loved this song. He died five years ago on May 1st. I will always think of this song as his. He loved me more than I loved him, I guess. But I loved him more than he believed. ❤️
Here I am, 64 and remembering the 70s with such beautiful music. I'll go to my grave having lived in the best of times and seeing the very best musicians. Many many shows at the Montréal Forum.
i cant listen to this song without crying, the closest i can describe is ... the smell of northern ontario in spring.....slight breeze through the pines i can't love anything more
This makes me so proud to be Canadian. These guys are so underrated and deserve way more recognition then they get. Blue Rodeo and The Tragically Hip are Canadian treasures.
not to get religious on yall.....bt as the meek supposed to inherit the earth, well so shall the meek and keen of ear inherit the awesome sounds of awesome sounds of some of Canada's greatest musicians.....
@@eddykidd bro you know we can see every comment you left on this channel. your a professional hater, the only thing that’s cringe is that your from Cobourg
I am a song writer! And in my book, Blue Rodeo has some of the best lyrics ever put to music in so many of their melancholy masterpieces! Damn! So fricken soulfully delicious!
Everytime I go to Brazil, the country I was born, I introduce their old/new songs to my family and friends. I saw Blue Rodeo concert for the first time in Ottawa, at Parliament, in 2007 and I fell in love for their music.
I feel the same way, when I go back to Amsterdam, I'd love to play these tunes in the sun, while canoeing around the canals, of course with a small amount of refreshments!
I'm not Canadian but somewhere back in the '90's I heard Blue Rodeo's music and became a fan. I was living in New Jersey and saw them live in concert in NYC. I absolutely love their music and I hope they've received some kind of Canadian music recognition. I know members have gone separate ways but when I need a little lift, Blue Rodeo is on my playlist! ❤❤❤
Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor were recently inducted to Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. Along with Sarah McLachlan and other great songwriters. It was great show.
Just heard this band for the first time a few months ago.....Dark Angel was the first song of theirs I heard and immediately fell in love with this band.....You Canadians need to share them more. I love every song I have heard of theirs/
Rediscovered this song today. It played on the radio 8 years after I heard it for the first time when I was 12. So glad I stumbled upon this gem again, the harmonica solos scratch an otherwise unreachable part of my brain.
For me it's my dad. He used to play it on his guitar all the time back when my parents were together. It was a long time ago, but it's one of those moments I miss, you know?
My favorite band I saw them In Brampton, Ontario in Garden Square last year (2016) I bet they will never forget me the crazy lady dancing in her wheelchair. Jim Cuddy kept smiling at me. Love that they are A Canadian Band. love, love, love, them. I hope they come back again. what a great nite. Thanks Jim.
I was at a music festival a few weeks ago and Blue Rodeo played. They started with this song. Honestly, if I'd been stricken with lightening I would have been thrilled to meet my maker with this song in my head and my big, huge smile.
Lost a lifetime friend recently. Her husband is devastated. This was the first song I could think of for them, and me. I still cant listen without crying. Video is spot on which hurts even more. 😭😭😭
Grew up listening to this album on the drives to the cottage. This album is the exact length it took for my dad to drive from the driveway of our house in the city to the driveway of our cottage. Such quality music
Some of my favorite childhood memories revolve around the same thing. I grew up in a big city (Toronto) and hated it. From as early as i can remember i hated being in cities, but every summer when my biological father got his yearly two weeks with me and my siblings he would take us way the hell out into the middle of nowhere to a place called club 10, it was a tiny little camping ground you bought property on and could set up a trailer on your lot. There was a total of 12 trailers and that was the extent of human population for a solid 30km in any direction, and i loved it there. Only time i felt at peace was at club 10 because it was far away from the city and just wilderness and i always felt i belonged there, we hunted, fished and swam in the lake, cooked whatever dinner we had caught in a fire pit and just existed and it was as close to perfect as i ever felt even despite my dad always being drunk off his ass the whole time. I would get lost for hours in the woods and just wander and it was amazing. My dad always put this song on when we were on the final stretch of road before reaching club 10, i could be dead asleep and this would come on and i would jump up in excitement. To this day this song makes me happy thinking of those memories. I eventually moved to a small town in bc where i can spend as much time as i like in the woods away from the city. Sorry for over sharing.
@@daltonevans3412 I really enjoyed this read, I have a similar feeling about a cottage my family used to rent every summer for a few years near Huntsville (I think, somewhere around there). Not a very happy family life, but the trees and water and general “nature” brought me so much peace.
Just saw Blue Rodeo at Molson Amphitheatre (Budweiser Stage now, I guess, I'm reluctant to call it that... it just doesn't sound right! Haha) and it was amazing! They've still got it! Even in a thunderstorm! What a treat to see them!
Seen this band Twice... One was when I stood out in the cold of toronto. It was general admission. So glad I froze my ass off. They warmed me up as I was in second row. I'll never forget it! I love this band soooo much! That was 20 years ago and I'm only 43... Lol sooo worth it , I would do it again in a heartbeat!
I met the band in '03 in an SF bar they played, with a 200 capacity that was half empty! Jim Cuddy told me though that in US cities near the border like Buffalo (and I think Seattle but I'm not sure if he mentioned that one), those Americans get Canadian radio stations, so they are more familiar, and so Blue Rodeo can play to bigger audiences
Just commenting to help promote this song for the algorithm. I remember my uncle playing this album on repeat, at the cottage in North Ontario. Fantastic, underrated song.
Still listening in August 2020!! Takes me back to my teen years, came up on my parents music. Not many people I know are into the same music as I am. Their loss. This is good tunes!
What a Fantastic song and Performance! We never hear it here in the states, too bad this group is great! Thank you for posting it. Canada's best Group!
They were the first album I ever purchased, when I was 6 years old, nearly 30 years ago now. But still these songs rocket me back to a place and time in my life when I was so happy and care free. They are 1 of 2 bands in my life that has always been constant.
Got to see these guys live at the university of Alberta, hmmm.. 16 or so years ago now. Was an absolutely awesome concert and one of my favourite Canadian Bands!
Always though Blue Rodeo made wonderful music. "Lost Together" got my ear the moment it started to play on radio but, hey, that is so 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's right? I just revisited "5 days in May"... just wish I would've noticed it sooner. Really terrific song. Really well written. They met in a hurricane Standing in the shelter out of the rain She tucked a note into his hand Later on they took his car Drove on down where the beaches are He wrote her name in the sand Never even let go of her hand I've always been a sucker for well written lyrics, LOL! And the music is great as well. I play guitar, but that organ sound, the B3, I really like.
I'll never forget when I was doing community service at a donation center for a stupid crime I committed and me and this guy that actually worked at this place sang this song together when it came on the radio. This guy was a stubborn guy but we shared a special moment singing this song together.
420 Express yes and they should disavow Celine Dione too. The screeching annoyance. Lighthouse was probably the best band outside of Rush and Triumph to come out of Canada. They were Canada’s Chicago. One Fine Morning!!

I agree. Their top 5 are all hall of fame caliber. As a band horribly underrated
A-a-a-a-men! A-a-a-men! A-a-men ! A-men! Amen {tambourine jingles}
I had the great pleasure of seeing them in concert at the end of this most recent summer, in Vancouver. Absolutely stellar show.
I am Brazilian and once I was bored to listen to the same songs. I randomly started listening to unknown international radio stations.

i can't love anything more
I'm American and have tears in my eyes as well. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.♥️🙏🇺🇲🇨🇦
If Blue Rodeo were an American band, they'd be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame already.
Not likely.
Yep.
I know, what's the matter with us?
You sure got that right
Yeah Stampeders , April Wine , Lisa Dalbello , Sloan, BTO , Trooper...
This makes me so proud to be Canadian. These guys are so underrated and deserve way more recognition then they get. Blue Rodeo and The Tragically Hip are Canadian treasures.

Justin Spizzirri every Canadian band is underrated! Except Nickelback !

This song reminds me of the romance my wife and I share. 41 years and counting. " Looking back it's hard to tell why they stood while others fell".
that is beautiful so glad you were blessed with 41yrs of marriage. ❤

Truly blessed imho . I did 3,600 miles by car to see my people in Ohio, Minneapolis and Tennessee and home to Vermont
Same, 37 years here
My brother had his 1968 Camaro SSi in a car show in Toronto, Motion 88. That night we saw Jeff Healy open for Blue Rodeo we had a great time.
these guys are the fabric of Canadian romantic music. Timeless.
Yes timeless well said!! : )

at 40 yrs old, been listening to this song almost all my life and IT is as good as ever, and gets me misty eyed every time..
Cool! stuff en effet.
I remember when this was released ... thirty years ago, now. This song reminds me of my youth ... bittersweet nostalgia.
I am a song writer! And in my book, Blue Rodeo has some of the best lyrics ever put to music in so many of their melancholy masterpieces! Damn! So fricken soulfully delicious!
Your comment makes me so happy
Would you happen to know in what key the harmonica is? I'm thinking the guitar part is in Em?
Blue Rodeo are so talented. The melody and lyrics are so haunting and romantic.
This year it will be 11 years since my Mother passed away from ovarian cancer. My dad used to listen to this song and cry. Her birthday is May 9th
So sorry to read this. Your father had a great love for your mother. Love is a bittersweet gift but still worth everything.
So sorry to read this. Your father had a great love for your mother. Love is a bittersweet gift but still worth everything.

Favorite band by far...

thats an incredible song
Brings me back as a little boy dancing with my mom in the living room listening to this.
...2:38am. Whiskey on the rocks and a big blunt. Cranked.
They finally met in a hurricane ... Rain on the windshield heading south - oh she loved the lines around his mind... Whole song awesome ...
Hard to believe, this masterpiece will be 25 years old this this year! It still sounds incredible.
Jim and Greg...LEGENDS!!!
One of the most severely under rated bands.
A truly awesome Canadian gift, I am so proud to be Canuck ,luv ya guys

Just watched Blue Rodeo perform last Thursday in Winnipeg. SO good!! This was their opening song
“Rain on the windshield headed south” is a masterfully rhythmic lyric
Lost a lifetime friend recently. Her husband is devastated. This was the first song I could think of for them, and me.
I still cant listen without crying. Video is spot on which hurts even more.
😭😭😭
hug ❤. it'll be ok in time
Love this song, one of the best bands as far as I'm concerned. Proud to be Canadian.
Live in Ireland and have followed BR since 1999. So under estimated . Great music.
They're probably from Irish descent. With more Nature in them.

@@daltonevans3412 Definitely No Need to Apologize. But that’s what we Canadians do‼️
Legendary song, piano sounds likes drops of rain falling rythmically, so many different atmospheres in this song ,classic!

This song is the exact story how I met the love of my life. This is now and will always be our song. I love BR and Jim Cuddy in infinity.
Music that inspires and move the inner soul, great music. Timeless I agree
Seen this band Twice...
One was when I stood out in the cold of toronto.
It was general admission.
So glad I froze my ass off.
They warmed me up as I was in second row.
I'll never forget it!
I love this band soooo much!
That was 20 years ago and I'm only 43...
Lol sooo worth it ,
I would do it again in a heartbeat!
it just amazes me why they did not hit it big in usage! they are world class writers And singers!
THey're pretty well know in USA; fly under the radar, kinda like KDLang, not so for Niel Young. If they played NY and other US venues would be great.
They didn't want to!
I met the band in '03 in an SF bar they played, with a 200 capacity that was half empty! Jim Cuddy told me though that in US cities near the border like Buffalo (and I think Seattle but I'm not sure if he mentioned that one), those Americans get Canadian radio stations, so they are more familiar, and so Blue Rodeo can play to bigger audiences
what a tune.. It used to lull me to sleep as a child and now it just brings me to tears with all the memories we've come to share.
I love blue rodeo...absolutely amazing. I've seen them twice and would pay to see them again. Such meaningful songs
Hearing this live, stretched out for ten to twelve minutes is amazing!
Just commenting to help promote this song for the algorithm. I remember my uncle playing this album on repeat, at the cottage in North Ontario. Fantastic, underrated song.
Every song by this amazing band is a soul massage.
Just a gorgeous song. Cuddle up to your significant other and give them a squeeze.
Always and forever one of my favourite groups.
I never get tired of this song. I'm really glad I've been able to see them (and meet them) here in the US where they play much smaller venues.
Blue Rodeo produce such great compositions for us enthusiasts of music. I was lucky to meet a Canadian woman who introduced me to these guys.
Still listening in August 2020!! Takes me back to my teen years, came up on my parents music. Not many people I know are into the same music as I am. Their loss. This is good tunes!
"Never even let go of her hand
Oh she loved the lines around his mouth"
I'll never forget that time.
I am one of those that was born in the last five days in May. I first heard this song on my birthday and loved it. Great job.
The band is hot too.
Lads, they are far from being underrated. They are a benchmark all Canadian bands have to work themselves up to.
So nice to have seen them live in Hamilton a few years ago…memorable moments in life! Will never forget that special evening...
My absolute favorite Blue Rodeo song. This has summer time written all over it. Something about Blue Rodeo and Summertime go hand in hand.
I'm sometimes feel embarrassed at work when this song is singing in my head and i am tearing up
One of my favourite albums....hauntingly beautiful
Their best song in my opinion. Had my kids hear this and they loved it!
love this so much!! that line... She loved the lines around his mouth... really gets me.
Funny how you hear a line in a song & realize it's true, even if you weren't conscious of it until that moment...
What a Fantastic song and Performance! We never hear it here in the states, too bad this group is great! Thank you for posting it.
Canada's best Group!
They were the first album I ever purchased, when I was 6 years old, nearly 30 years ago now. But still these songs rocket me back to a place and time in my life when I was so happy and care free. They are 1 of 2 bands in my life that has always been constant.
This song is so beautiful.
this isnt music this is poetry one of the only songs i know that will punch your soul
Watched these guys live at the Windsor Casino on December 1st and they opened the show with this. So amazing live. Great instrumentals.
Got to see these guys live at the university of Alberta, hmmm.. 16 or so years ago now. Was an absolutely awesome concert and one of my favourite Canadian Bands!
Canadians are just awesome! No two ways about it, eh.
ty from winnipeg,,,god bless
Yes.
Yes we are.
We rock, take care of each other
God bless from Saskatoon.
The sweet 80's & 90's in Montréal.
You know a song is awesome when it makes your spine tingle. My spine is tingling.
You're experiencing "The Fizz."
Seeing them live gives you goosebumps
This is my favourite song by these guys! I'm Canadian too! Just covered it on my channel. So much love.
Always though Blue Rodeo made wonderful music. "Lost Together" got my ear the moment it started to play on radio but, hey, that is so 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's right?
I just revisited "5 days in May"... just wish I would've noticed it sooner. Really terrific song. Really well written.
They met in a hurricane
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
She tucked a note into his hand
Later on they took his car
Drove on down where the beaches are
He wrote her name in the sand
Never even let go of her hand
I've always been a sucker for well written lyrics, LOL! And the music is great as well. I play guitar, but that organ sound, the B3, I really like.
the whole album is fab
i think this song makes every single person miss someone in their lives for some reason, great song
A riveting song and video, love the corn fields.❤
I'll never forget when I was doing community service at a donation center for a stupid crime I committed and me and this guy that actually worked at this place sang this song together when it came on the radio. This guy was a stubborn guy but we shared a special moment singing this song together.
this song brings back memories and it makes me feel safe because my mum would always listen to this back when i was little
These boys make me think of my roots in Alberta. Sitting listening to them in Western Cape South Africa! Great great band.
A long way from home. What brought you there?
Love this song, one of the best bands in Canada as far as I'm concerned.
Just an all round awesome band and I can only pray I get to see them before I die
I agree. Totally under-rated. I regret not seeing them live!
As a fan of alt country and country rock, how have I managed to never hear of this band until today? I really love it.
better late than never
Just great. Seen them live many times and always great performances
This song
"sets me on my feet and wipes the tears from my eyes
One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Thank you!
I feel in love in San Diego and this song is truth for me. I cry listening to it.
I wish they did more of this kind of music as well. Very enjoyable music!
I just loved this band since the first album. So many great tunes to sing along to. Saw them live at least six times, they never disappoint.
best Canadian band. so underrated.
Joe Menghini Lighthouse in their day was much better....
@@cliffordgill9052 Nickelback?? Really?? Probably one of worst bands ever!! OH, and please take Celine back too!!
@@Newzchspy
Nickelback is a disgrace to Canadians
420 Express yes and they should disavow Celine Dione too. The screeching annoyance. Lighthouse was probably the best band outside of Rush and Triumph to come out of Canada. They were Canada’s Chicago. One Fine Morning!!
Newzchspy Rush... the screaming indian... definitely not the best. The hip, the guess who...
This song is truly wonderful.
Saw them once in Nashville. One of the best shows I've ever seen. And I go to a lot of shows.
Somehow they stayed that way, for those 5 days in May. How they made the stars around them shine
One of my all time favourite songs.
Brilliant song! Brilliant Canadian musicians that deserved way more recognition!
love this song…never get tired of seeing them,,,,EVER.
I remember dancing to this song with my dad when I was a little girl 💗
♥️️
Love this song, takes me back to toronto days....Such a handsome guy too!!
Remember seing Blue Rodeo a few times on Queen West in Toronto in the 80's. Places like the Rivoli. Great live music
After not hearing blue rodeo for awhile…the music is legendary…timeless…touched my heart
Such a beautiful song 💖
