I just heard a song called "Canada" by Michael Patrick Phelan. It can be heard here. After clicking on the link, click on "Launch Player", then click on the song title "Canada" on the list.

canada


I moved down to Binghamton a few years ago
Degree in hand, and dreams as big as the sky
Some came true, and some, I had to let them go
I do what I love, and most days that’s enough

We packed some things and headed north last Saturday
Crossed the river to old stompin grounds
In the air 1000 Islands called to me
Their voices told me I’d come home again

Chorus
And memories came back to me
Of things so long ago
My hometown -- just a graveyard now
A place I couldn’t go
And home is with the one you love
I’ve sure found that in you
But what of my life ‘cross the 49th
The things that I once knew
Though my life has changed
A part of me remains
At home in Canada

We took the 401 to see old Kingston town
A place that we’d escape to be alone
A fortress on the shores of Lake Ontario
Revealed to me a scene from long ago

And in that place I heard the sounds
That once brought joy to me
I saw the faces, felt the traces
Of a family
And through the tears
Across these years
A solace I have found
In those summer days, spent out on the lake
In a distant, northern town
And though life has changed
Part of me remains
Back home in Canada

We headed back to Binghamton on Labor Day
The days of summer trailing in our wake
The air had changed to something new entirely
It’s crispness leaving memories no escape
With changing leaves reminding me
Of things so long ago
Back to school and all the rules
And things no one should know
I’m older now, And I’m wiser now
I have a life that’s good
No, I won’t go back
No, I can’t go back
No, I don’t think that I should
Yet through all that’s changed
Part of me remains
At home in Canada

And though far away
Part of me will stay
Back home in Canada

I thought that was a Violent Femmes song. It's a good one, though. And now it will be stuck in my head all day...

Sadly, it's not even close.

Anyway, I'm listening to Henry Purcell's famous aria "When I am laid in Earth," from every immature college student's favorite opera to bring up in impolite conversation -- Dido and Aeneas.

(It'll come to you... just give it a minute.)

*Googles the song up*

Hmm... I just happened to come across Blind Melon's No Rain and kind of liked it then I searched some of their other songs and came across Blister In the Sun. It's a good song indeed. Is it a Violent Femmes original?

It is originally by the Violent Femmes, though it doesn't strike me as odd that Blind Melon might do a cover of it. I really liked "No Rain" when it came out, too. So thanks, now that I've gotten "Blister in the Sun" out of my head, I have to go listen to something else. wink

Hooray for synesthesia!



I overheard Donovan's "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" and for some reason got the urge to compile a mix of stereotypical 60s/70s songs, which I have been listenting to all day. So far I have:
  • Strawberry Alarm Clock - "Incense and Peppermints"
  • Deep Purple - "Smoke on the Water"
  • Jimi Hendrix - "All Along the Watchtower"
  • The Byrds - "Turn! Turn! Turn!"
  • The Rolling Stones - "Paint It Black
  • The Rolling Stones - "Satisfaction"
  • John Lennon - "Imagine"
  • Jimi Hendrix - "Foxey Lady"
  • The Doors - "Five to One"
  • The Doors - "Crawling King Snake"
  • Donovan - "Wear Your Love Like Heaven
  • Fifth Dimension - "Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In"
  • The Animals - "House of the Rising Sun"
  • The Monkees - "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone"
Of course, it's not finished. I'm missing some obvious songs that I just haven't gotten around to pulling out of my collection yet, and I have some songs that are not so obvious (but I love them, so they're staying).

Any suggestions?
