Gord Downie And The Country Of Miracles - The East Wind

[dogterd]

This record has made my winter a month shorter.

[ProfessorAmplitude]

Love it Gordie! The Big Arm Cowboy is still Strummin!

[vvCalico]

Gord Downie is a god.

[sweetpea1190]

I so love this song, awesome!!! can listen to it over and over again

[W78516]

I just LOVE this great land of ours. The way the landscape of it just screams wildness and huge Freedom. I know you get my drift. (Snowdrift that is lol)

[W78516]

Plus, notice that there isn't to many music videos with snow in them. Part of living in the Great White  North.

[W78516]

Yes!! Gordon is so Canadian in his music. Us Canadians can really feel these songs.

[pukymcp]

anything to do with this god among men is great!

[balazsaboo]

@sdcdiablo and ilovechickenskins

just so we're clear i've got tickets to the tragically hip show in bobcaygeon. also the canada day bash at downsview. i'm a huge hip fan. seen'em over thirty times. i really don't remember how i got into this with you guys and frankly don't give a shit about it one way or the other. i hope to never hear from either of you ever again. peace.

[ilovechickenskins]

Gordy boy looks like Jason Statham lol

[ilovechickenskins]

goddamn I love this :) happy 4/20 people :)

[beckysalt]

This songs even better heard live!

[Canvideo]

Gotta love this song.

[balazsaboo]

@SDCDIABLO....

'my borderline speaking' my 'high treason'. give me your real name your real whereabouts, and we'll settle this like a couple of canadians. until then, can the fuckin hate speak. it's irrelevant what kind of music you like.

[SDCDIABLO]

@balazsaboo fine just keep hating on canada it's fine.

[ilovechickenskins]

@SDCDIABLO in the end, Canada will rape all

[ilovechickenskins]

@SDCDIABLO lmfao

[ilovechickenskins]

@SDCDIABLO I don't think he's directly hating on canada, just certain aspects, however, he does come accross as pretty fuckin' ignorant, and cocky for that matter, probably comphensating for something lol

[SDCDIABLO]

@ilovechickenskins haha God I love this guy! Seriously tho super ignorant! Whatevs, we know whats up! lol

[ilovechickenskins]

@SDCDIABLO lol, fuck 'im

[ilovechickenskins]

@SDCDIABLO let it go "right through"

[ilovechickenskins]

@balazsaboo just relax and enjoy the tune dude, don't waste your time, trust me, your efforts are futile

[oseum]

something spiritual indeed.

[urmama1983]

Proud to be Canadian!

[balazsaboo]

@mikewalts09

go fuck yourself. 'not true canadians'. i know a vietnamese guy; barely speaks english, who probably doesn't like this song. but he is the epitome of canada. you, however may not be a true canadian with ignorant statements like that.

[SDCDIABLO]

@balazsaboo No Mikewalts is right. Your borderline speaking high treason against canada right now...

[stephmilley]

so f-ing hotttt

[Thelols50]

canadagasm

[poodiggitydoo]

Great tune

[lolandahalf]

who would dislike this video/song they are both fantastic

[mikewalts09]

Those who dislike this are not true Canadians, Die

[Darthcheese114]

is there no chords or tabs available for this song?

[Darthcheese114]

@Darthcheese114 i tried loooking everywhere wish there was tho

[AtomicEnerG]

rock on! xD

[SomeProudCanadian]

ahh Gordie, he put on a fine show in Peterborough last fall.. it was nice to see him truly in his element. he had a most artistic flare on stage with his overhead projector and water dish.. u have to see it to believe it.. a most humourous moment was when he (& Julie) were doling out motherly advice to a would-be-mom who was clearly nearing her term.. but it started getting a tad weird when Julie just kept on offering her services as a midwife. Gord's awkward facial expression was priceless....

[revolutionisus]

I hope he never stops making music

[27rg27]

@NothingElseIsFree well he is the east wind... the laziest wind.

[lolandahalf]

saw this live at the not so Grand Theatre in Kingston, i think i sat beside Gord Downie's sister lol

[skullfalker]

See this live in Hamilton

[ProtstTheFuckingHero]

not as good as the hip but still damn fine work.

[FrenzySliver]

They say the east wind is the laziest wind"

"How"

"It goes right through you"

...

...

"You can use that, by the way"

[lolandahalf]

Gord ya crazy bastard I am seein ya on the 28th in your home town of k-town eh

[pflo99]

@jefsmobile what an idiotic comment.

[eastcoastblaze]

sounds beautiful.....

[connordcha]

A thing of beauty, awesome

[suivoh]

Tom Thompson's "West Wind" is slightly more iconic. Of course, I only learned of Tom Thompson because of Gord Downie. So it's a tie.

[colpitts350]

love this song!

[Darkcanuck99]

Probably the best Gord Downie solo tune yet. Not surprisingly, the album is produced by Chris Walla from Death Cab for Cutie... another amazingly creative and artistic band. I would love to see him involved with future Tragically Hip projects.

[JordanoDaMano]

This song is awesome! It only just heard it not too long ago and I can't get enough of it!

[BlackCobra87]

Amazing song. There's really nothing else to say.

[hondaus90]

i'm not generally a fan of newer music, but this song ROCKS

[landonu12]

im guessin you all probly know about the tragically hip eh?

[ducdong]

I hit the like button because there is no -FUCK YES, I LOVE THIS SONG- button..thanks Gord!!

[estacey99]

you can tell this is a good song since no one has disliked it

[richardjohnbutson]

trag fan from way way back. was a little shocked to see him go on his own but this song is damn sweet

[flamingtoady]

Doesn't quite hold up to the best of the Hip, but that may just be nostalgia speaking. Very nice, nonetheless.

[stewardo]

Vevo is ruining youtube

[grandeligne413]

The voice that can make everyone, and anyone, stop and listen... Gordie baby, still wiggle my fingers to make landscapes emerge!!

[arnolddrummer]

lol. 'okay guys i have a great video idea let's take pictures of gord downie for a couple hours and put it all together! lolgood song good vid!

[lithiumjimmy]

when video editors attack!!! otherwise the song is an instant classic

[RuthlessVision]

Great song, but this video gives me a headache.

[sleepingminiatures]

great song!

[pye0123456789]

everyone start thumbing this vid up for fuck sakes he deserves it.

[jebber5]

gord.

[doubleder]

Gord Downie is to Canada what apple pie is to America!

[psychodude6]

@doubleder the only difference being Gord Downie wasn't created in Italy  :)

[kuurgen]

Woke up to this on the alarm clock, ran down and quickly googled the lyrics. Nice song, thought he sounded familiar :)

[Zodiac289]

I lost my virginity to this song...

[redandjonny]

In a perfect world...The video for this song would have been Gord Downie riding a Moose thats running 200 K an hour across Canada. Smashing headlong into everything in its way until it dives into the ocean.

[arrow531]

@redandjonny some one make that video it could be like cartooned and shit but it would be perfect if i was good with animation i would do it my self

[orcakid]

I'm trying to figure out what the meaning is behind this song... I think the lyrics are rather profound, but I can't figure out what exactly he's singing about. I speculate that it's probably about missed oppurtunities and the way we torture ourselves once we realize we've missed a good chance at something, but that's just me... Do any of you have any other ideas or thoughts about this song? Search up the lyrics on Google if you can't make out what he's saying.

[moskalmultimedia]

Amazing song but I cant seem to identify one of the chords. I know the first part but can anyone write them down? Im missing 1 chord and its driving me nutts

[kozes]

i FINALLY found this song.

i hear at work everyday and i love it.

had to go through the whole playlist on davefm radio website to get it

[davidyee]

@kozes Haha, same. And it hardly says anything about the title of the song in the lyrics so i wass guessing for awhile.

[vanderaa]

I hate vevo so much...ruining youtube with forced commercials.

[ezaltz]

it doesn't go around you, it goes through you!

[abes10]

im usually not that person who asks for chords because... well.. i understand how the internet works and would usually just put "The East Wind Chords" in a google search... but I cannot for the life of me find the chords anywhere... can someone please help me out?

[TheMCDigital]

fuckkk cannot wait for hillside.. hes going to be insanse!!!!!! id loveee to meet him

[Annonymus121]

@TheMCDigital HAHA I know people who do the security for that ! ITs aposed to be a great festival

[joeltoth2]

my mom dated him when they were in grade six for like 4 days.

[BCt0xiN]

lol this song is so annoying, mainly his vocal style

[abes10]

@BCt0xiN this is how his vocal style has always been.. quirky and weird.. and its fuckin awesome

[somerville32]

I love this song.

[ROOTSnBLUES2009]

Great new Song!! Can't wait to see Gord at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues festival this summer!

[O4rga2nik0A]

[SomeProudCanadian]

Good job Gordie!!! I always expect a masterpiece to emanate from you now and then, and this is just one of those splendid moments... thank you very much!!

[acidrun]

Reminds me of the Tragically Hip. Anyone else?

[BuzzEnWell]

@acidrun You can't play in a band your whole career, and then expect to lose that influence.

[TheDghdgh]

well, yeah it's gord downie

[acidrun]

@TheDghdgh Oh sorry, I didn't realize it was the same singer. Should've guessed from the get go : \

[saramaewhat]

OMG!...What a beautiful song,everytime Soooo love it! I find it spiritual and up lifting...thank you very much for posting it...

[CatRevolver]

Love it.

[TheBernier18]

[mccannk]

Just downloaded it off Itunes. :-)

[SineOccasu]

wow! This is a great tune! I`m not a big fan of the hip, but Downie suits this tune wonderfully.
