Western Skies

I recently rediscovered a Blue Rodeo song called Western Skies. It's on the album Lost Together, which I've listened to a lot, but mostly back in the day. Back in the day - high school. It's a decent song, but it was never one of my favorites. It's got a bit of country flavour to it. My favorite Blue Rodeo songs that have some country are really country - unapologeticlly twangy, like Now and Forever off of Diamond Mine or I Could Never Be That Man off of Tremolo. I digress. The reason Western Skies drew my attention are the lyrics. It's about missing places like Lake Louise and the Bow River while waiting for the TTC. (I'm pretty sure I didn't know what the TTC was in grade 10.) How fitting.
