I heard K.D. Lang do this number and was mesmerized. Just got lost in the moment.

I never heard anyone do it before besides Crosby, Neil, Nash, and Young [?]

Looked up the lyrics and went, hmmmm. I know there are Canadians who come to this site. Help. I love the song but don't know just what I am missing in the lyrics, there is something.

OK, so I was 'well into my cups' when I posted this, but I have to tell you, listening again, this is a good album.

KD Lang, Hymns of the 49th parallel

Yeah, I know, 2004!

Did you hear KD do Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) at the 2010 Olympics. Absolutely mezmorizzing.

No, but that song is on the album. New to me, great stuff.
