@SpeedyGreen maybe not, but kelly jones' favourite band is the tragically hip, so this is more than just a cover of a random song, and its a very good one
god i had to stop at 0:07 to replay that amazing first line, such a beautiful tone in his voice, and it continues throughout :) i adore kelly's voice. beautiful, sad song.
been 2 months since the post but still. though it carries a nautical theme the song is about the nephew of Gord Downie lead singer for the tragically hip (for a girl i know its mothers day, the girl being his sister). he died of heart failure or something to do with the heart (His tiny knotted heart, well I guess it never worked too good...). because of the personal meaning they had never played it live until 2006 when they decided that if it could help others get over loss they should play it.
The original is so classic but this version is amazing as well. It has a very "sitting around the camp fire" vibe to it. I love it.
Sterophonics are insanely underated in North America and I'd imagine the Tragically hip are insanely underrated in Europe(not to mention North America as well). It's cool Stereophonics did this.
great cover! not as good as the original of course :)

Kelly Jones makes this song epic and so much better than the tragically hip version,

@ryanserring that, sir, is fucking blasphemy. Nobody can sing this song like Gordon Downie, and nobody can relate to it like Gordon Downie.

Not bad, but the original Hip version is far better--feels far more authentic, raw, and emotional. This is too polished.

Brilliant but excruciatingly sad song written by the Tragically Hip. This cover is excellant.
