This song 5 Days In May is from their album Five Days In July and was recorded at singer/guitarist Greg Keelor's farm. While the original recordings were intended to serve only as demos they found the songs had a warmth and spontaneity that warranted releasing as an album. It has been certified 6 times platinum as of 2008.

  • i love this song. i just love the calmness of everything about blue rodeo. does someone mind telling me the meaning of this song? i've heard it so many times, but i still dont know the meaning. thanks

  • @justify1995 This explaination was posted on a fansite: "Jim wrote this song as a collaboration of a few stories...one being him and his wife meeting in a shelter during a hurricane, the other being a time when Blue Rodeo was in New Zealand, and they took a day to visit the beach. Their soundman, Kenny, grabbed a stick and wrote his name in the sand. When Jim asked him about it, he said he does this everytime he's at a beach as a ritual...its basically an honor and connection with his wife."

  • @hunkatiel Kenny is my uncle!!! :) 

  • @jcarluccimusic Cool. Looks like musical talent runs in the family.

  • I had to favorite this. Long version, great sound and no one has complained about the classic solo yet! :)

  • @slugg63 haha, yeah I noticed on other posts the guitar solo was a hot topic. I think the rawness of the solo is what makes it unique and gives it character.

  • Great collection of photos for this song, Rob. I'm liking the slow transitions too, especially 3:10 and 3:22.
