Blue Rodeo - One Light Left in Heaven

[@MrNortoon]

An incredibly Beautiful song. I discovered Blue Rodeo in 2006 on XM Radio and heard "5 Days in May" and have been a big fan ever since. I live Maryland and I am originally from Texas. Me, my wife & 8 yr old grandson have seen them 3 times so far. They are great guys and wonderful to talk to after the shows. There is so much great Canadian music I have found as a result of them and I wish America knew what they were missing from this great land above us!

[@brianclaxton4728]

I never appreciate it music like this when I was younger these gentlemen make me feel proud to be Canadian🍺😁🇨🇦

[@traceyt2375]

They don't make bands like these anymore. Thanks BR for making some real music with real meaning.

[@dobieseric]

I see them at least twice a year if possible. Once near Buffalo each summer and then a road trip into Canada. This American loves this band and I have ever since Outskirts

[@sameoldcc]

A canadian friend of mine introduced me to Blue Rodeo some years ago. They are just awesome . Sing from the heart they do .

[@peterhess1190]

19 years ago I was invited to see them live. At that time I had the wrong priority. I missed an opportunity then. THIS is REAL Music!

[@kate54ish]

Met him 20 years ago in Mt.clemons Mi. My daughter was 9 and loved the music...not only does he have a beautiful voice, he talked to us for quite a long time..he was so kind.a wonderful human being...a cherished memory...I love Canadians too...Karen

[@dawgsolid]

outstanding!!! Jim Cuddy shows so much emotion and feeling that other singers must be jealous, he is for real !!!

[@Chidanandaji]

keep on passing it forward guys. Life is so short. Our kids are going to remember us through our songs.

[@alieb71]

I've seen Jim Cuddy perform live 4 times. Like a fine wine....he gets better with age. He has a rare gift and Canadians are very lucky to call him one of our own. He makes it seem effortless.

[@thePOWERofART-11]

Love the comments here. The song, Jim's voice, invokes peace.

[@LloydPeacock]

INCREDIBLE, on Jim Cuddy could give this song the emotion it needs. His voice is a symphony unto its' own. Beautiful.

[@bobpeacock2185]

As usual another beautiful interpretation of lyrics that haunt the soul. This man's voice transcends air, it just calms and energizes at the same time. I believe he is one of the best voices in the world.

[@claudiea6636]

+Bob Peacock Very well said....beautiful words..your comment made me smile..

[@kate54ish]

This is one of the so many beautiful songs by this band..and the video is astounding,,I swear I see a tear in his left eye and Greg Keeler keeping his eyes on him...like he could barley get through this.. He did.a masterpiece...kate

[@heidimcneely2119]

I am writing this without looking anything up - But as a Canadian all I can say is that these guys have ALWAYS sung these songs. They are just some of the good guys. Period.

[@elainebyrne96]

Jim looking tired. He's Human. That can never take away from his voice. I Will never get tired of him or Greg or Blue Rodeo, They have their mark on the world We are blessed to have the experience.

[@sunmoonfire67]

Jim Cuddy, you are a special person who makes music enjoyable to listen too... it's a pleasure to have met you and wish you and your family all the best.. Truly an amazing person & artist of todays time & one of the most beautiful voices i have heard.. A gift to the world..

[@missnukkinfutz]

I'll be seeing these fine gentlemen for the first time in two weeks. I'll cry like a child, I know that already. Their music has helped to heal my heart over the years.

[@rubblerocks]

Wow. Blue Rodeo writes the absolute best heartbreak love songs, ever. Nice job.

[@DallasCowboys94Ware]

I wish this song never ended... So tranquil. Worked with them on a show last year, and they were nothing but class.

[@JordanBlahnikCPACMA]

This song makes me think of the horrible husband I have been to my wife. I have asked her so many times to run for the hills, yet she sticks around, waiting for me to be better. I wish she would pull herself from this mess and find true happiness. Thank you Jim for nailing this song. Love BR.

[@TheBrenda259]

Saw them last night in Halifax - as usual, they gave back every bit of themselves to the crowd. Halifax loves Blue Rodeo - this song,,,, oh my.. One Light Left in Heaven - thanks Blue Rodeo for another fantastic concert, This is my 6th Blue Rodeo concert and I have never been disappointed.

[@ziggirasta]

I saw them perform 3 Time in Montreal Stills The bests groupe mélodie And Live music With Big Vibe BLESS

[@Trismoo]

I think that soulful side comes out of the cold Canadian winters. We're all that way.

[@SHALAt22]

He is singing with his soul on this.

[@maureenbrown4342]

Always seems to.....you are right

[@RDNSAPBTS]

This song, just kinda tugs on your soul, until you bleed tears....but are they tears of sadness, or just plain tears brought on by the sheer beauty of it? I still don't know.

[@claudiea6636]

BR...Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh one of my most favourite bands ever.....Jim Cuddys voice is heaven ..

[@dolivieri2002]

Another BR goose bump song! Love them live....miss you guys at the Kee to Bala...come back home!!!

[@Tutone66]

Was this song ever a single? Cannot believe I never heard this before. This is a beautiful song. This group is awesome. Dark angel is equally good.

[@Midnightrose2467]

This is MY prayer for tonight ...and as I look up to my faithful starz above I know they feel my pain & sadness as I know they will NEVER LEAVE my sight ....For THEY know how much I MISSED YOU "one last light left in heaven"... 

[@Indianart1]

Shades of Dougie Maclean and Shania Twain, not that you need to...beautiful composition, simply beautiful. thank you.

[@RebootPlanet]

Saw them last night in Sudbury Ont. I have been to alot of Concerts of various Genres.If i may be so bold as to say i have never been so emotionally moved as I was by these amazing musicians. Thank You so much for sharing your Spirits. Canandian Talent and Genuinely Good People.

[@willparsons32]

Mr. Cuddy, Thank you so much for writing this song.. It reminds me of the two most important people I held so dearly in my life - My Parents, Who recently past away 22 months apart from one another. Ever since the "5 days in May" Album was released, I had become a huge fan of yours. Discovering this song had truly added my admiration to you and Blue Rodeo. Two huge thumbs way up! Thanks, William :)

[@alhuggins3646]

just beautiful......just amazingly beautiful..

[@thePOWERofART-11]

+Al Huggins well said.

[@bronwynj2401]

[@AlexandraHutchko]

just saw them at Masey Hall, best live show ive ever seen brought me to tears, sad enough to say lol i had to listen to this song when i got home

[@Benaaron3]

im not even religious but i feel so connected to this song. beautiful

[@ciboul4153]

So beautiful, i love this song, it made me cry.

[@davegarner3042]

have seen them 3 times in Ontario, and once in Kelowna B.C. they are great

[@corinne1962]

I cannot get enough of this video...to hear Jim sing it live at the Savoy theatre,Glace Bay,NS. in January will be amazing!!!

[@scurrie55]

Just got back from Blue Rodeo concert in Edmonton. I've seen BR a number of times from the very beginning .But this was the first in a few years. They still rock the house and I just can't stop my feet from dancing along with them. When I first heard this song I thought nothing could be more beautiful for Jim's voice. But tonight when he did the acoustic with Colin Cripps it was truly amazing. The silence of the audience just enhanced the whole experience. They are a gift from Canada to the world.

[@liquidarkness]

This song still takes my breath away when I listen... They all look completely in a trance. True musicians.

[@garyclark608]

Blue Rodeo is one of the best bands Canada has ever produced. Jim Cuddy has one of the greatest voices in the business. Just saw them live a few nights ago in Kingston, third time I've seen them. They seem better every time, definitely one of the best live bands I have ever seen, their music makes you feel good.

[@ClaytonBriscoe1964]

A song that expresses how much loss and confusion there is related with love.

[@LydiaT1]

HAD TO Have this CD IT ALL IS GREAT THANKS for all your tunes .music sooths the soul

[@karenmcpherson8425]

My favorite singer and song writer. I love Blue Rodeo.

[@DinoSlaughter]

The song....the voice.....Cunny is one of the greatest talents in the world.

[@debnahay1]

First heard these guys when I was in Canada for 7 months in 1987. It was love at first note.

[@kate54ish]

This is still my favorite band...Hope I get to see them again.

[@HeleneWater]

Just saw it last night live in Halifax....sigh..so beautiful

[@donatlosier7640]

What a beautiful song. Voice from heaven.

[@MrNortoon]

Beautiful tune and America would embrace it so much, but they go unnoticed down here. It's a shame, though I have been trying to enlighten people to their music. I recently posted this video on Facebook and have gotten great responses. I've sent their CD's & DVD's to Texas, to my family & friends. They don't know what they're missing. It's not at all like mainstream American country, it's so much better!

[@patrickpeters8645]

I love this Band!!!!

[@sharonlicht3568]

Beautiful song. Jim's vocals are so smooth and touching. Love this song. The guitar work is fantastic. Love the lyriics too as I do in most Blue Rodeo songs.

[@randyandy1960]

I gave up song writing for quite some time and always adored BR, all tunes but this one touched me enough to inspire me to write again. Thanks for posting and thanks Jim, p.s. still looking to find other Br fans who would like to jam to any and all Cuddy, Keelor tunes I'd love to get together.

[@TheNunafeedtheducks]

Jim's got a great story behind all his songs, I wonder what his story is to go with this song. I went to see him last night here in St. John's Newfoundland. i'm still buzzing it was Amazing :)))

[@1600362]

Im very happy that the U.S. has all but rejected or ignored Blue Rodeo, that way we get them all to ourselves! They love Canada and Canada loves them!

[@Tutone66]

+1600362 I can't speak for everyone in the States but I think Blue Rodeo is an awesome band. Recently purchased their "Live at Massey Hall" CD and can't stop listening to it. "5 Days in May" is as good as it gets when it comes to live performances. I know if they would tour the States I would be there. Blue Rodeo is a Canadian treasure.

[@1600362]

I couldn't agree with you more tutone 66

[@daveharding5301]

+1600362 Speaking for one person in the U.S. While I wish for their sake they were more popular in the U.S. it's worked out pretty well for those of us here who have discovered them. I've been a fan for years and have been fortunate enough to see them in a number of bars and more intimate venues. Don't mind road tripping to see them either -- love visiting Canada!

[@dipdxfun1134]

Jim is so talented and yes, so easy on the eyes as well, expecting a wonderful concert tomorrow in Portland

[@carolynwilliams8198]

Love the lyrics, love the music. This is one of my favorite by Blue Rodeo. The other being, Bad Timing.

[@DenizBevan]

Goosebumps for sure! What. A. Song.

[@dawgsolid]

[@kevinobrien7425]

PASSION from the heart thank you for sharing your pain hope the wounds are healing love you guys forever life is beautiful kevin denmark

[@SigneMiranda]

This song is so beautiful.

[@MrNortoon]

Back at Ya'! There are so many fantastic tunes of theirs and they continue to grow into one of the most incredible bands of our time. I wish I lived in Canada and could here their music on local radio. I also would prefer cooler temperatures and shorter summers. I know it sounds odd, but that's how I feel!

[@westheman22]

I have agree Isaw him this summer at the Edmonton Folk Music Fest. He was on main stage for about an houir and a half We Have a very gifted person and he from Canada

[@lisap4222]

Saw them in concert. So amazing

[@stellaercolani3810]

May God's light shine on you and me.

[@maureenbrown4342]

Absolutely love this song, and this band, I love all types of music, but these guys hold a special place in my heart, love their music! Thank you for sharing!

[@jaymiletich8455]

Thx BR for your music you have given to us over the years I've used it for the sad times and the best times of my life! Your the best Jim!

[@dianagreinke8500]

Jim Cuddy, man with one of the purest voices.

[@Gingerjake2]

The longer they're around the better they get. How many bands/singers can you say that about? They need to put out a great DVD...

[@glom1732]

Just love this band... got hooked and waiting to see them again

[@francinevigh3519]

one of my faves :) Looking forward to seeing you all in London ONtario on Valentines Day

[@LydiaT1]

ANOTHER GREAT SONG TO TOUCH MY HEART !!! LOVE YA BLUE RODEO

[@estherfulford4836]

No better voice than Jim Cuddy...thank you for representing Canada 👍🏻

[@Indianart1]

Simplicity is key to this being the best version, just my humble opinion. Thank you for posting. :-)

[@dawgsolid]

Blue Rodeo is my all time favorite band !!!!

[@WhatsPossible]

Breathtaking - beautiful imagery and insight into intense emotional feelings - inspirational - thanks for another great song - to be another of my lifetime favourites...

[@M1SSMAGIC]

love jim cuddy what a voice , heaven 100%

[@dawgsolid]

this is an awesome and heart felt song thanks Blue Rodeo !!!

[@barbarabrown5521]

I knew all of the original band when no one knew who they were here in the East Coast,,,, Jim is a most amazing song writer, his son is actually performing now too,,,,,,, Gregg, Jim's long time partner had been sick and had to back off the scene, so Jim has had a very successful solo career the lat couple years. Basil, is an original! Jim is simply put, a superb human being.

[@trevhoff26]

Speechless how insanely good this song is!

[@KimHanson1983]

By far my favorite band out there. Their lyrics are just so amazing.

[@vera2981]

Thank you so much

[@yoheyTen]

well done. these dudes continue to be awesome and to let me just smusch my heart into their songs.. as if they knew exactly what I was going through.

[@gvbezoff]

Going to see them on November 27. It's going to be glorious.

[@stellaercolani3810]

Breathtaking!

[@Hallucination]

They performed this tonight in Calgary and it was stunning.

[@ashleyw34m]

Beautiful song from an awesome band!

[@DiscosDead]

I don't remember how or when I came across Blue Rodeo, but I was instantly hooked. They have a somewhat unique sound, but their lyrics truly set them apart from 99.9% of the crapola out there. Great vocals, nice guitar, outstanding lyrics. Can't think of a song of theirs that I don't like. Cheers for posting this.

[@megwheelzs]

I really love this song !!! and Jim cuddy :)

[@Shannonhann]

@RebootPlanet Im from Sudbury too and have seen them many times there....legendary....a true Canadian treasure.

[@kamac8761]

Beautiful song as always from Mr. Cuddy. I LOVE the album too. I LOVE BR! They make me proud to be a Canadian. 4th time seeing them live and counting!

[@waydownuponjoy]

I so loved this song and the lyrics add a warmth to my soul. I entered a poetry contest where this was the prompt and I won the gold trophy. I wanted to share it with you!One Way ... lyricsI saw the light you mentioned, Heard the darkness that remained Sensed the essence of believing That we'll never be the same! And I've walked those floors of sadness And was glad to see the dawn When my sighs and indecision Could re-vision and move on! Yet another day was wasted While the chase just lingered long Still I felt my heart a beatin' While you sang your lonesome song. Chorus: One way two hearts keep on dreamin' One way for that road must not end ... ... One way still that light keeps on beamin' One way don't forget me as friend. As Seasons call time to attention And those days roll on by through the years I'll be watchin' for you in the shadows While the moon sheds some light on old tears. Chorus: One way two hearts keep on dreamin' One way for that road must not end ... ... One way still that light keeps on beamin' One way don't forget me as friend. I saw the light you mentioned, Heard the darkness that remained Sensed the essence of believing That we'll never be the same! repeat and fade ... ... ... © 2011 Joy A Burki-Watson

[@rossstafford954]

You have written wonderful lyrics to a song yourself....golden as well
