I very much enjoy the process of music analysis - of technique, craft, and lyrical content. I find this just as fun as the emotional or instinctual side of music enjoyment.

Plus what are we supposed to do in a text-based forum besides TALK ABOUT the songs? We can't all post bananas in every song. At least I hope not. That would crash my browser.

more evidence that Canadian music will someday rule the world....

i dunno i really have to get sanctimonious just for a minute i mean i read all these comments and wonder sometimes
does anybody actually listen to the music around here or just analize it ?? idunno maybe that's one way to enjoy it what can i say my dad was a preacher

So true. I think the chorus set my first rating, and I think I'm gonna lower it today.

I am biased against Sarah unfairly, not her fault really. But I don't find her music to be special in any sort of way regardless. Bah.

Since I first heard this I thought of the Katydids -

Does anyone know the Katydids?

This has a KILLER chorus. The verses sorta unmemborably meander their way toward it, but there's a hook a mile wide waiting there.

Her album You Were Here is one of my all-time favorites. She's a phenomenal talent. I recently saw another great Canadian talent Feist, and she namechecked Sarah and said she was her favorite songwriter.

Got the CD--well worth it!

Wow - really a lot of great stuff coming out of the Great White North, isn't there? She's amazing.

this is lovely.

I think I've liked every Sarah Harmer song I've heard on RP.

Pity your commentary is so irritating, because you yourself are probably kind of nice.

I decided that I liked this song before I saw what she looked like... scout's honor

not bad

I met Sarah several times in Vancouver -- I went out with her brother for a time years ago. She's a terrific human as well as a wonderful musician. There's such a vulnerability in her voice. Lodestar, from You Were Here, is one of my favorite songs ever.

I like this more each time I hear it.

Buy 'em both for less than 10 bucks (used) on Amazon. Well, before shipping. Even then you are still cheaper than ONE at retail. I have never had a problem with used cds from Amazon (knock on my wooden head)

I could relate to this song, way to go Sarah Harmer, pure enjoyment.
