It is so hard to decide, so hard, which is a favourite. 45 years from now, or Northwest passage. Coming from England, Northwest Passage is so Canadaina. But, 45 yrs from now is such a beaufiful Love song. oh gosh. xo

@bytor21122112 I like the film scratches. Some people would complain if they were hung with a new rope. ;-)

Shit, I'm in school right now and I'm tearing up from this song.

This is my childhood lullabye.

I have the utmost respect for Stan Rogers. Anyone that can make acapella songs sound this amazing is obviously amazing :)

He was born just a few years before me. My husband discovered
Roger's music about the time he died in the accident but we didn't know about his death - it was harder to find out what was happening back then before the net. Its a real tragedy .. he's be in his 60s now, think of all the music we lost!
They found some of the remains of Franklin's sailors back in the 90s(?).. read a book about it.

this song gives me goosebumps....

Some time ago, CBC did a special report ; Peter Mansbridge was on an icebreaker patrolling the northwest passage. This song was played as a summing-up of the report and it was the perfect ending.
It always leaves a lump in my throat. So beautiful it hurts.

Thumbs up if this should be the Canadian anthem!

From a Virginian view point, this song and his voice moves the soul as does Canada's Northwest. This is the type of song that changes a man... becomes part of him. Stan's songs are a tribute to the vast North that is Canada!



Lovely photo animation. But why did you feel it necessary to add electronic film scratches?

Apparently I'm a little slow in the head. I didn't notice until listening to this a few times, there are no instruments. Respect level just shot through the roof for me! Good luck getting any of the losers pumping out assembly line music nowadays to even try doing that! Stan, you just got another life long fan!
