Northwest Passage

[Eiger6]

How can ten people dislike this?

[Brainerosanne]

Beautifully done!!

[RideForever139]

Great, great show and great, great song. TYK for making this vid!

[cidspimms]

I know there have been covers; and good ones, but no one sings it like Stan. I think of his early passing; and loss each time I hear this.

[TechUnadept]

I love the Harmony in the chorus.

[Draxius86]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS THAT REMIND ME OF MY FATHER WILLARD SENIOR BECHARD WHO PASSED AWAY 6 YEARS AGO AND WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS SONG IT ALWAYS REMINDS ME OF HIM...MAY HE REST IN PEACE

[pacificprospector]

This was a great song to end the series on. Also, very fitting having Fraser going off into the wilderness wtih his American friend, looking for the Northwest passage as the final scene.

[templerman]

Well I wonder if Sir John is looking down at the diminishing ice pack his dream of a North West Passage has finally come to pass?

[Teckenklatsche]

Hello i comes from good old germany ^^! i love the serie and find the song is greate and beautiful voices!

[go1pes]

The one that stadacona band does is better (has music) but I like this too, ps stadacona band is the Canadian naval band for the Atlantic coast (mind most ships have their own as well)

[Chicagoan444]

I think I could listen to this 1,000 times and never get bored or tired of it. God bless Stan Rogers - gone too soon.

[callumriordan]

always inspirational,regardless what country you come from, respect for genius is always important, only an ill informed moron would tanish stan's gift's

[higuma75]

Brilliant tv series, brilliant song.

[eddiemac303]

good old song, well done!

[noseycj]

when I listen to any music from the due south soundtracks it always give me a good feeling that truly helps when seriously needed

[winchester18862003]

As a child we lived in Labrador, where my father was stationed with the U.S. Air Force. I feel a kinship with Canada. I grew up on Farley Mowat and Stan Rodgers. As a former Law Enforcement Officer I have the utmost respect for the RCMP. Besides they have cool uniforms.

[hell0hkitty]

are all rcmp gay?

[metour94]

this song is so great that you dont even have to use a melodie or a tune. great words, im 12 and love this songcand i live in an area that every one likes the new hip hop junk. i also like what hefeibao said

[Zug98]

What you're trying to say is the song doesn't need drums, or guitar, or stupid synthesized sounds to make it beautiful. You are correct sir!

Every song has a melody, and actually, this song is 100% pure melody.

[hefeibao]

Bless Stan Rogers - the wonderful man who helped us Americans learn Canadian history, and to love our northern brothers.

[LordThios]

i think this song was in nomination to become the National anthem at some point..my dad sings this song all the time...

[khoryos]

I really wish I could find a video of Fraser singing this from the end of that episode.

(I'm contemplating buying the DVD box set instead.)

[khoryos]

Wait, this IS the version from the episode, never mind. (Blame the painkillers)

[Juno83]

Beautiful song. :)

[kanogy]

Tis the opening hymn of Mass in The Church of the Great White North.....simply Beautiful !

[oland7982]

great song my history teacher use to show us this show and when i heard this song i had to listen to it again :) great song

[TOADIEWINDSOR]

Canada's second national anthem...thanks Stan!

[jake09895]

who does this song?

[rkh1978]

I think it was Stan Rogers,but i could be wrong

[wdgarraway]

It is Stan Rogers. Recently CBC radio had a vote to decide the best canadian songs of all time and this came second.

[cebrownf]

What was first??

[chrissept21]

what was the first

[eddiemac303]

good stuff, like it!!

[northerbrewer]

OH Gosh its cold up there....

I REALY wonder if those posting here have ever been to a place like Polaris or Alert.

ONE WARM LINE you have no freekin idea kids.....

[northerbrewer]

Gosh in hind sight there was once time I was closer to Moscow than home in my own country lol

[crusty4rich]

I am more familiar with the show of hands version of this song (which I love) but this version is amazingly atmospheric. Thankyou

[smalltownskgirl]

This video makes me miss winter.

I just keep telling myself, i shoudl be here by October. =)

I love living in Canada.

[smalltownskgirl]

I love this song. Stan Rogers was great! =) This song is my favourite ever.

And by the way, amazing video.

Paul Gross is incredibly attractive. Especially whn playing a mountie. =)

[jackdoc5]

does anyone know if there is a piano version of this song? (like what is played on the last episode)

thanks for the help!! :)

thank you for posting the vid!

[stefansmom]

26 yrs today god bless you stan rogers the world is a sad place without you. But you live on in your music and you will never be forgotten

[tylervanbach]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG

[chrissept21]

ok people please stop all this garbage fighting

just listen to the damn good music

rip stan rogers

[BlueBustard]

Many of these foul comments do NOT belong on a Stan Rogers thread.

You are the BEST Stan. RIP

[theweirdofamily23]

AAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! love stan and all his music. 'specially this 1 and barretts privateers. i am learning this 1 on the guitar an d singing. whoo!

[Chicagoan444]

It's always great to hear Stan Rogers. Nobody writes songs like he did. And I'm reminded how much I liked "Due South." Got to check Amazon to see if it's available. That was a terrific show, and the clip is made even better by Stan Rogers. Thank you.

[stefansmom]

Chicagoan... his son Nathan is a spitting image of Stan and his voice if you close your eyes omg it's like stan was still here singing. I literally got shivers big time when i heard Nathan sing Northwest Passage.

[DanPat121]

Jesus Christ...you weren't kidding. I looked Nathan up as soon as I read your comment. He's amazing. I didn't even know Stan had a son. Thanks for the info!

[PatrickLeBrun]

Can this country ever be unitied under one flag?

[nakawick]

of course

[t5y665yrty56]

yeah and it has a fleur de lis in it vive le canadainnnes francaises

[PatrickLeBrun]

Umhmm

[t5y665yrty56]

No I just like cheering on independence movements

[t5y665yrty56]

well if youre only going to focus on the negative.........

[kingcarson]

VANCOUVER B.C.  BEST CITY IN THE WORLD

[canadian1000]

I am from Toronto, born and raised, and I would have to completely disagree with this false idea about Toronto. All foreigners that I have ever met who have traveled here to Toronto, say it is a city of the most polite people they have ever been to.

[AnonymousXIII]

Yes, but Canadians from other towns and communities often find it far less friendly; it's all a matter of what you're used to.

[chewyshuffle]

agreed

[hedywang]

we listened to this song in social studies class!

[Sean2Ireland]

Great version of a rarely heard song ... the best I've heard is George Cavanaugh's version (he sings with his cousins, the Browne Sisters). He's got a voice that really makes this song resonate.

[AnonymousXIII]

Well, this is the original version, unless I'm much mistaken. It's from the Northwest Passage album. And Stan's baritone always sends shivers down my spine when I listen to him.

[veronicadredd22]

wow sends shivers down my spin they say it was the tinned food that poison the crew of the expedition i remember seeing the exhumed graves it was as if they died yesterday frozen forever in the permafrost.

[hathome]

he didn't make a north west passage!!

[youngcharlie36]

I honestly thought this was Leslie Neilson singing when I first heard it on Due South

[duncandawes]

I have been looking for this song for 20yrs having first heard it on the BBC Nortwest Passage documentory back in 1987 what a song sound better now than it did the Well done U Tube

[butteminers]

My wife and I spent last month on vacation across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and my favorite Cape Breton Island, and Nova Scotia. Everyone we met was, without exception, courteous, friendly and helpful.

[iamhobo08]

thats what you get from most of the world

[ralphKNS]

That is not true. There are some places that are more assholish than others.

[iamhobo08]

thats true but iv found that if you treat people with respect you will get respect back

[madvlad666]

Like Toronto?

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Yes - even in Toronto LOL!! I've spent many a day in Toronto and other major cities reputed to be cold and indifferent, and have found that for the most part one gets back what one gives out. Treat folks with respect and over 90% of the time, that's the way you'll be treated yourself. This the way the world actually works.

[danielledeemckinnon]

sorry I am from cape breton and I would have to disagree.I live in Toronto now and there is a HUGE difference between the people. I smiled and was nice and tried hard not to change my friendly disposition I gave respect out to everyone because it's part of my up bringing I never knew how to be disrespectful to a person until I had to live here. I still try to maintain my cape breton friendliness but I have to say it is hard. For the record I was considered overly friendly in Cape Breton.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

To be quite honest, there IS a difference between "big city friendly" and the sort which is found in more rural areas, seemingly especially in the Maritimes.... but on the whole the dictum holds: if you treat folks properly, it does indeed come back to you, sometimes in ways and at times you don;t expect it to - not in a "karma"-related manner (which i don't believe in), but i've visited a lot of places and have found that good will is repaid - that's the Way of the World, period.

[SamLowry99]

I grew up in Toronto, and I would agree that people there are very cold, always in their own little bubbles.

[mastercef2468]

the best song ever

[butteminers]

Another Montanan who shares the same sentiments my Canadian friends.

[nakawick]

The border is a mere invisible line.

[trifarce101]

heck yeah! i like techno and classical, but this is beautiful.

[ColonelCuster]

I loved this series.

It was fantastic.

I like this song also.

[ALPHA000102]

I'm an American from Montana but I seriously enjoy this song. It's great. Whoever has said that this song should have been included it on the Due South soundtrack had the right idea. I hope they revive the series within the next few years. It would do as well if not better then it did the first time. Just goes to show you, American entertainment is popular if not dominate in Canada but Canadian entertainment also has a strong number of fans in the United States of America.

[iamhobo08]

this was the last song played in deu south during the credits also the first defenbaker was fired for eating the directors lunch thats a fact

sorry about spelling if rong

[Feedonfoo]

I'm another Montanan. I drive up to Calgary regularly to visit relatives...

I relate more to Canada than Eastern Montana.

Stan Rogers is amazing!

[19792307]

Despite the fact the explorer's were British, the fact remains of course that it was the men and women of the same stock who colonized our harsh north and braved the wilds of Canada, rather than settling for a warmer more fertile climate to the south. Truly the backbone of Canada stems from those explorers. by the way, any Canadians out there read the Toronto Star, not too long ago they had a story of how they intend on finding the ships of Franklin's expedition finally

[19792307]

sorry, not the paper itself but a multinational research and archeology team.

[lifethelemon]

This is quite probably the only song in the world to make me feel even a little patriotic.

[amallthia]

This song always gives me chills, good ones. It is a perfect fit for Due South, sums up the whole theme of the series. Best Canadian series ever!

[AnonymousXIII]

I don't know, Forever Knight wasn't bad.

[bubble992]

love due south. this is brill.

[cl0m]

What can I say. purely brilliant. Fantastic. Evem though i'm not canadian this is one of my favourite songs ever. It is at the top next to ride forever. a Brilliant seriese aswell!

[mccarronwasright]

Stan Rogers songs are amazing.

[rambotylerwilson]

BEST series finale song for Due South.

[iamhobo08]

i no due south is the best

[Patriot1776]

Not a Canadian, but I love this song. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it on Highlander Radio. Yes, this should be the National Anthem of Canada.

[PreludeInZ]

Stan Rogers ROCKS

[physicwolf]

I love this song. who sings this?

[jbrose40]

Stan Rogers wrote and sings it.

[22hobo22]

some one i no got all the music from due south

[salomeandcat]

If someone wants to find Due South on DVD google Pelaphus. Last I saw he was selling boxed sets

[SHIPWRECKGAL84]

amazon carries it too

[Quag7]

Respect, from a USian.

[pythag123]

Why is this not our countries National anthem?

[theuppercanuck]

Partially because some people feel that the existing national anthem (which is an outdated, inaccurate, and BORING song) is good enough. I'd love to see NWP as the official one, but, alas, I'm not getting my hopes up.

[chimpiki]

To many, this is already Canada's unofficial anthem, much like Danny Boy to the Irish. I think it's better as that, because it tells a full story in five minutes. If this were to become our anthem, it would have to be drastically abridged.

[mickstephenson]

Surely the problem with this song being a Canadian national anthem is that it's theme has nothing to do with Canadians. Franklin and his crew were British.

[FirstSGTEOZ]

The idea of good vs. evil has become somewhat quaint in this age of electronic marvels and convenience, but Due South dared to return to the roots of humanity laid by Homer, Lewis, etc. Thank you to Due South for expressing the nobler side of man and to everyone who views this video for their belief that we can be more than just creatures who inhabit this planet for our own ends.

[pantsrbad]

i get chills everytime i hear this song.

[KidChaos221]

i never thought i'd hear this song again. absolutely beautiful, i have chills.

[wildsummernights]

been looking for this for ages. Thanks for posting.

[forrestry]

I mean "thanks". I did find it on DVD. Good compilation by the way.

[forrestry]

Thank Marie :)

[mariedalton]

You can get the DVD's off amazon and they're sold in HMV.

[forrestry]

Does anyone know if you can find "Due South" on DVD series?

[ronhelf]

The UK Network DVD is superior to the US/Canadian. On the down side, the packaging is awful and doesn't hold the discs so the float around in the keep case getting scratched. Season/series one and two have been released in France by TF1 and I have heard excellent things about the quality. I have them on order.

[Moon2Earth]

i love this song. i too love how he sung it in the last episode, it was rather touching. thanks for making such a nice slideshow with this song, which is definetly a due south song.

[KennethSorling]

Thanks for posting this. Many imitations abound, but there's only one Stan.

[mariedalton]

Thankyou:)

[Culverbop]

i love due south, and i love it wen the sing this song in this the last episode!! awesome...well done!!!
