I'M FROM NFLD but can't stand alan doyle. / he' a douch / he's not like any newfies i know/ he doesn't drink or smoke/ he's always happy/ AS THE OLD SAYING GOES- ONLY THE VILLAGE IDIOT IS ALWAYS HAPPY
I used to live in NS, and i still havent given up the maritime music :p even though i get made fun of... cant understand why anyone would chirp this masterpiece?
i agree supergamecubeguy it does leave a sad feeling but the lyrics and the singer lift ur spirits right up again when they start to sing:) much love to all of us newfies
as a newfie i find that many ppl are hard to talk to becuase they dont understand some of the way that i talk ppl are like what did u say and its hard but i am proud to be a newfie

As a newfie, Great Big Sea does a way better job than Jim Payne & Fergus O'byrne. They are only good live since they came to my school. I much prefer Great Big Sea.
being a screeched in honourary newfie i have the uttermost respect for all newfoundlanders. They are the best people they will give the shirt off your back and treat you like family:) God bless Newfoundland. I'm from Nova Scotia and i'm a proud bluenoser and we all get on really awesome here in the maritimes:)
im heading out to nova scotia, newfoundland and labrador, and PEI later this summer and know matter what i can never get enough of it out there... ontario gets kind of boring so i kinda want to live there some day
I LOVE this song and GBS! My dad is from Newfoundland, and he ALWAYS played GBS when i was a kid. And I still listen to it! My friends think im crazy to listen to this... guess I'm just a true Newfie <3
damn, i miss home so much, when a newfie is brought up on the mainland for too long a part of them can die, but thats what come home year is for right everyone?
im not a newfoundlander even tho m couzins live there but i live no were near water in ontario n i hav love this band n its style of music my whole life n i hope they hav many more songs to come
@Thumper17 Ditto <---- Alberta) haha ive been listening to GBS since i can remember though and when ever i hear their music i want to move to NFL! no joke
@footballlover1dl cape breton island is great. i love newfs too. born in inverness and grew up in port hawkesbury. livin out west now tho...miss the ocean somethin bad
I find it depends on what part of NS. Capers and you Newfies are pretty similar while the people on the South and French Shores aren't like you guys at all. Us in the middle well, you guess is as good as mine :)
the great big sea has been my favourite band for all my life and this is no dought my favourite song. and there canadian witch makes things even better
