Still listening in 2020. One of the most beautiful songs ever.

I'm a death metal drummer and a fairly hard dude, but this tune has always brought a tear. Not of sadness, more an indefinable sort of comfort to know it is there whenever I need it.

Me too! Favorite song for life. He is amazing.

Smash a like if your outside of Canada!!!

I've been a fan of David Usher from Moist and through his solo career. This is my favorite song and video of all time. He's been with me when my dad passed away when I was 11, he was just starting his solo career at time. Each of his album was like a gift... He is an amazing artist, his lyrics are amazing, his voice is unique, he is soo handsome. I wish I go back in time and go to a concert once again. Thank you David. Thank you so so much for what you've put in this world, as an artist but as a man also.

This song alwasy reminds me of my brother going away to University back when I was like 17, he used to listen to David Usher all the time and when my mom, dad, and I took him up to Sudbury for school this was the song that came on when we drove up to the University for our first visit during the winter. Now when i hear it, it reminds me of that moment and my bro.

An absolutely brilliant artist, still gives me goosebumps and transforms me back to being 14 years old in 1994. The best Canadian band out there hands down

Love this song. Just a St. Law girl.

This song is my FAVORITE from David!! ❤

If you ever read this David, you should know that you have some great fans down in Mexico. Bst song ever. I wish i could play this song along with you someday. Solid by morning.

He is one of my favorite artists, and this in my opinion has to be his best song.

***** Forestfire was an awesome song. I don't think that David Usher/Moist has ever produced a song I didn't like. At worst their CDs had songs I would skip in favor of others.

agree :)

Love This Cool "Song," merci.

David Usher est un artiste talentueux que nous ne voyons pas assez. Il fait des petites merveilles avec sa voix . J'adore sa voix son talent et sa personnalité.

David talked to me in Sherbrooke back in 1997 (moist) and his one of the nicest artist ive met. He could have just gone without watching but stopped to chat. Cant Go wrong with that guy !

a lyrical genius .

I saw Moist at CNE a few days ago and it's the first time I can say a concert just stayed with me for days. Took me right back to being 14 and all the hopes and dreams and innocence of that time. I would have loved to hear this live. I can listen to St. Lawrence River on repeat. Such a beautiful song.

So jealous. They, too, bring back memories of my teens. I was at the CNE and didn't even know they were there! 😟

you can't beat the St Lawrence River in the summer. One of the biggest things I miss about home. Just beautiful. Just like this song.

This is like such a great song, the melodies, the structure, in a fair world, it would be a classic pop song that everyone's heard

David has some truly amazing lyrics. He is a diamond in the rough of Canadian music. Before I listen to the melody of his music I always read the lyrics first, he is indeed a wonderful poet.

I recently found this song again after many, many years. I still remember when it premiered on the Much Music channel. I always thought it was a catchy tune and now I just can’t stop listening to it, I just have it on repeat.

This is the best song written by david usher in my opinion.

I listen your songs about 5 years ago. Then i always listen your song in a difficult moment, finding a peace. Thanks and my compliments!

I SOOOO LOVE this song and video....I've listened to this song many many mornings

Hehe, I grew up on the St. Lawrence. Ahh, such nostalgia.

Love this song. And David Usher.

People ask me my favorite song of all time, and I always come back to this.

Me too!

One of my favorite songs in the world. There's a beautiful sadness about it.

i used to love listening to while driving thru ottawa's byways so nice

this song is incredible, the emotions, the painting of visual words you dance in the soft strum of the guitar....a wordsmith with a view of this planet we are all fortunate you share

Here in 2024

One of my most greatest influences i wish i could sing like him :)

2021! Still amazing! Thanks David U!

I live on St lawrence River's banks, and i wish i could met David ... This song is sooo deepp.. Amazing.

Great song, I went to SLU , class of 2002

It's still his best song. Such sweet sorrow. Video is great, just like the album. Homegrown.

This and "Alone in the Universe" always strike a chord for me. Keep delivering the great music David.

Best song...ever for me

pure love.. and the ultimate heartbreak! it defines me!

Amazing track

David usher one of the best from montreal !!! :P

Ahh j'aime tellement cette chanson là, je sais pas mais quand je l'entends, j'ai comme une grosse force en dedans de moi qui veut exploser... J'ai peut-être l'air folle (lol) mais c,est trop beau comme chanson !!!!

I just used to listen to song to remind me of a friend I once had.

I love this song.. its sooooo good

"I knew you'd be your own destroyer" ca me revient tjs en tete quand j'fais qqch qui de nefaste pour moi, me rappelant que si j'echoue c'est de la faute de personne d'autre que moi, malgre le faible lien entre ca et la tune... Ca revient encore ^^ Wise Lyrics Mr.Usher, tyvm.

I LOVE THISB SONG david usher

This is my favourite song from him. There's an awesome live version of it on the Hallucinations album.

favorite one isnt it over n over

Seen moist live in 98 and when david crowd surfed, we were in the front row and actually aided him in surfing....seen his shark bite scar up close 😲 and we were on much music 🤘 the good ol days

Love this song!

@nikki1669 Me too. My dad loved this song. It is so bitter sweet for me.

Super une chanson pour notre bonne vielle Rivière Saint-Laurence

I had to wait until i was in me late 30's before i was blessed with hearing this song. Just amazing!! please check out our live version and see what you think would really appreciate your views

GREAT LYRICS!

one morning last year...woke up listen that song..go outdoor and see him...strange

i love canada, vote how you want but not what those that don't love canada

I live in Boston and am fortunate enough to have seen the St. Laurence in both Winter AND Summer. Amazing, both times. Montreal is such a great city and David Usher is the epitome of great. :) Why the f*ck didn't he catch on in the U.S.? Is he too good? :)

beautiful song. good job. vid doesn't outplay song, song doesn't outplay vid.

Stains on the paper where words fell like water.

The live version on the Hallucinations album is amazing. Wish there was a youtube vid for it.

My Companion Of Long Ago Soon we will meet again Because I am going home I can't wait to see her... Whose banks I once did roam Whose blue liguid I swam in as a child free of care I wonder has she changed much And I hope not Will she recognize me When I get there Will she recall the time I almost drowned When she guided my hand To grasp a crack in the pier At Farran's Point Canal In our riverside town Where I skipped stones Across her ripples And watched my brother's ships As they sailed through And I rode on the gates as they opened An illegal thing to do Will she afford me The pleasure of sunbathing Nude amid her gentle wave Has she yet the golden voice Only sailors have heard Will she woo me as I bathe Are the fish as plentiful In her keeping And will she give some up to me Catfish were so delicious And her specialty Joan Donnelly Ellis July 29, 2016

yeah I do

@avayomama i have met the him and been to many concerts both of his solo work and before that when he was front man of moist. I gotta say I have serious trouble believing he would feel the need to put his name on a song he didn't pen. The man is brilliant, and in multiple languages no less. @atreyukicks too right. Nail on the head.

I miss Dave, Moist, the 90's. ..good music

never seen it before it's new

my mom used to work at SLU in the dinning hall and the c-store.

@CrowHo that is a good idea im listening to this tomorrow morning, eh check out the new version

He really should've been more popular....

This album is still one of my fav of all time... When it was released I had it on repeat for months. The following albums did not had this effect, the music kind of changed.... I think that's why he did not become more popular.

this was when much music was good now much is garbage

@avayomama Actualy I have never met the writer but he told me it was about a glass of Eggnog that he spilt and could never quite get over. I said it so it must be true.

@strongfp A frozen moment. I'll bet that will be with you when your hair is gray. Few know you like a brother.

true story.... my older sister worked with a dude in winnipeg manitoba 10 years ago that wrote this song about his fiance that overdosed in front of him and sold the song to david usher.... :( so sad....

i am the one that everyone loves but hates so nice

Just so everyone knows... My sister worked with the real writer of this song in Winnipeg 15 years ago. He sold it to David Usher. it's about his girlfriend killing herself...i just think everyone should know the true meaning.

@avayomama that is super interesting if that's true

shut up old guys just listen and smoke a joint then shhhh

MJ = King of Pop Elvis = King of Rock

this man is gorgeous but behaves funny

umm i think i named u both backwards... but the comments still count.. just switch ur names.

@cambro64 you guys can say what you want. but it doesn't change the fact that i'm telling the truth. lol i didn't realize there were so many people (who have never met the man) who would take my comment so personally and take time out of their day to hate on it even though they have no proof as to otherwise ... lol again, imply that i'm stupid all you want, but i am right and the "oh some guy on youtube said it so it must be true" comment, goes the other way too.

@avayomama I never once implied that you were stupid nor was it me that made the highlited statement. I just won't believe some random person who cannot affectivley back up their statements on a medium such as this. I will, however, make this staement: "We should stop fooling ourselves and start fooling other people." Cheers!

Ouais mais tu n'étais pas obliger de me dire que je suis con car je le savé que c'étais le fleuve mais désolé pareil pour la faute ^^

His girlfriend didnt kill herself, she had cancer.

Very annoying that your videos cannot be watched in Canada.

you guys tooo young, now 'i'm old but not, i'm born in the 70's anyway i'm old now but not, good news is i'm not

too bad

just saw David and his band play at the Geraldton Jamboree and i must say it was the time of my life....what a beautiful man all around and an awesome band....i luv this song, its so beautiful
