I love the song and the lyrics are actually very dark. I'm just not a fan of Anne Murray's voice or arrangement.<br /><br />I'm also a huge fan of Issa/Jane Siberry. This song always cheers me up immensely:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAToWdWVRj0" REL="nofollow">One More Colour</A>Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-61195073733851306202009-04-19T09:23:00.000-07:002009-04-19T09:23:00.000-07:00k-os is one of Toronto's.k-os is one of Toronto's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-90752138984516248922009-04-19T08:35:00.000-07:002009-04-19T08:35:00.000-07:00"No one mentioned his great "Canadian Railroad Tri...<I>"No one mentioned his great "Canadian Railroad Trilogy."</I>Almost did, but went for something more universal in appeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-77806937995854557702009-04-19T08:13:00.000-07:002009-04-19T08:13:00.000-07:00Thanks all, some interesting picks.

The narration is being told the night BEFORE they try to raise the boat. We never find out whether or not the ship does, in fact, rise again.It's not a story of heroic success or the triumph of man against nature: what's important is the trying.Balbulicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909755014063452689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-4643157059846235702009-04-18T23:24:00.000-07:002009-04-18T23:24:00.000-07:00Hey Troy.
