Nearly all the songs on her new CD Heart of My Own were written while on the road: traveling between cities, crossing the Canadian prairies, searching for a place to stop in the Nevada desert, trailing through the Smoky Mountains, standing in the bright dusk of a summer night in the Yukon. Perhaps most surprising was the strong influence her short time in the Yukon had on this album. Basia spent five days and nights in Dawson City, where for the first time she experienced true silence. "I felt my mind was overwhelmed with ideas. It had been a long-time dream of mine to make it to the Yukon, so to finally accomplish that, and for it to be possible because of my music, was also a very overwhelming thing."

This version is better than the album version in my opinion.

LOVE IT!!!

:D

[PheasantDan]

This music renews my faith in humanity.

[BeeOdd]

Does anybody have the chords for this? They are not on the interwebs and I'd really like to learn them!

[lapinchiloca]

she's got the closest voice I've heard to Natalie Merchant...like both :)

[MrTwoPlums]

Absolutely beautiful!

I think we (the internet fans) should push and try to get Basia and Gordon Lightfoot to do a duet while we still can. They're absolutely perfect to play eachother's music.

its almost like she should have been born during when ever the movie O' Brother Where Art Thou takes place dont really know the era

[Sealilywhale]

Amen. I hardly ever find a reason in humanity's intentions to amen, but amen~

Never knew this about her and the Yukon inspiration-makes blissful sense& makes me love her and the meaning all the more! Imagine- as the silence-perhaps the lack of artificial light in that Noethern Light-graced sky was just as inspirational for the girl who sings her soul~

[Filmippo]

Love it.

and love her!

[jokrasa]

Truly a great song, great melody... a true Canadian talent ! Love the song !
