My parents divorced when I was 3 and I was stuck with my mom. My dad was changing jobs over and over again. We could only talk on skype and for about 2 week a yer in person when he gets his vacation time. He lives in Alberta and works mostly at the oil sands. We'd travel Canada in his car and listen to Blue Rodeo all day on these trips. I'm 13 now and these songs are about the only thing that makes me feel close to him when hes far. This is his favourite song. This song makes me cry every time.

Beautiful story. My parents were never together, this song always made me long for a world where we all ran away together. Solo just bottled up so much of my pain as a kid. After moving outwest a few years ago, my fiancee and I found a happier meaning to it, and it will now be our wedding song.

Blue Rodeo: The anthem of sad dads. I've got a similar story man, mine just happened 5 years before yours. It's like the dude didn't get passed the B's in his record shop. Lots of Blue Rodeo and Beach Boys. Hope you're doing well 6 years on

albertas cost of living is one of the lowest in the country and the oil sands is a great source if income you should join ur pops

I just love the guitar solo. I know it's rough, but it's full of passion and abandon, like the characters in the song.

This one- it" triggers and sparks"... Opens to the truth of heart and memory.

Ahh..that solo. Ragged and raw. Perfect imperfection.

Reminds me of my dad. One of the best guitar solos in Canadian history.

Yes do you play

This was one of my dad's favorite songs, he's been gone for ten years now and listening to this I thought would bring back some pain. However that sweet nostalgia takes over and I smile.

When I was little, my mom used to play this music all the time. I'm seventeen years old now and I'm only now coming back to this out of nostalgia.

Amazing song. Never heard before yesterday. Really amazing band. Makes me wonder what else I've missed. I'm 45. Listen to every kind of music too. From baroque period classical to death metal to gangster rap.

i love the guitar solo :)

I am just in love with this song! The words are so powerful, I don't know how someone can come with a words and a song like that :) Not a country fan, but this guys have me!

Real Canadian, alright. To me it sounds particularly Saskatchewan-ey. I really like it. When I hear it I think of lonely stretches of road, grain elevators, an old train track spur that gradually bevels into dry grass and sandy earth. Breezy, nice, sun through milked-out sky and a night coming that can freeze your butt off even in Spring!

LOVES THIS SONGGG

I luv this song

One important lyrical note- it's not "Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again" followed by "No one wipes the tears from your eyes." It's "Oh, it wipes the tears from your eyes." Feels like a pretty big difference. Love the video though, thank you.

Blue rodeo great band.

And miss the guitar solo ? You are absolutely right. Simply awesome.

Is it me or does the guitar solo towards the end kinda sound like the guitar solo on jethro tull's aqualung? They are defiantly in the same octave range? Can someone with musical training please endorse or enlighten me? Thanks

@cmgeroni84 did you make it to the guit box solo?

Right on Friend ,or should I say ride on cowboy? Thanks.

Yeah I have a request. Can you find Murray McLachlan's Gulliver's Taxi album?? I can't find it anywhere. Thank's for posting Five Days!! I LOVE that song!! Is there a better guitar solo in the history of Canadian music?? I think not. It's absolutely WICKED live! Peace everyone.

does anyone have any song requests by the way?
