I'm a second generation American on my mother's side. My grandfather was born and raised in Toronto, his family having moved to the states when he was 10 years old. I grew up in a house filled with various genres of music, everything from 60's rock music to 70's and 80's folk music. Grew up listening to the Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, Paul Revere and the Raiders as well as Gordon Lightfoot, Stan Rogers, Jim Croce, Gordon Bok. I am beyond thankful that my father introduced me to Stan's music and Garnet's music when I was a kid. I've had the pleasure of meeting Nathan Rogers, Garnet Rogers and Archie Fisher. I've always taken pride in my Canadian heritage, as my grandfather was one of the kindest, gentlest and noble men I've ever known. Having said that I really enjoyed this rendition of the Northwest Passage, as much as I enjoyed the version by Unleash The Archers.

As a Canadian, the line ‘one warm line through a line so wide and savage’ will forever remain one of the most poignant things ever written about our country in song.

[@luckyscarabs7263]

Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died; Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelsey, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. And make a Northwest Passage to the sea.

[@filmandfirearms]

He was really the Canadian Johnny Cash, in many ways. Someone who wanted to do no more with his music than tell the stories of ordinary people, and to inspire whoever he could. It just so happens that the common man in Nova Scotia has a lot to do with the sea

[@jotomctu]

Many years ago, the BBC showed a documentary re scientists investigating the grave and preserved remains of one of Franklin's crew. It was interesting, if somewhat gory, but just before the credits rolled, the last footage showed the scientist's light aircraft taking off as a backdrop to the cairn while this song was being played, emphasising its loneliness and isolation. I've liked it ever since, but every time I hear it, I think back to the final few moments of that programme-very poignant!

[@garethbarnes8966]

I saw that, always wondered what the song was. Was in the 90s I think.

My father, Andrew John Gallagher, was aboard the first U.S. Ship to circumnavigate the famed Northwest Passage back in 1957. The Canadian ship, Labrador, was the first ina procession of four ships; the later three were United States Coast Gaurd. They were the Spar, the Bramble and The Storis. My father, a navigator, was on the Storis the first ship after the Canadian Labrador. I was listening to Shanty songs online when this song came about. What a wonderful song. I want to learn more about this Stan Roger's song. I enjoyed the performance here, gentlemen! Bravo!

[@benjaminunruh7970]

It makes me sad that I could not live 400 years ago to see the wonderous expanse that was this world the modern era made things so small that nothing seems novel. When I travel to the places without light pollution and look up at the band of the milky way and the galaxies beyond our I think about how much more there is to explore. We are fortunate for the modern luxuries we enjoy. We are fortunate that we have clean water and food whenever we like. We are fortunate for the knowledge this world, but it comes at the cost of the human spirit of Discovery and inmovation. In truth I do not know which situation is better, because it seems that the grass is always greener. But I can say that sometimes I wish I was born 400 years from now to explore the vast expanse that is our universe.

[@OneInTheMosh]

400 years ago would be lovely to visit. I wouldn't want to live there for good, though.

[@billsanderson1442]

My job sends me to some pretty remote places in Canada. I've also driven (in various stages) from Prince Rupert to Fort Louisbourg in Cape Breton. And my retirement wish is to drive the Trans-Labrador Highway; from Calgary to Vancouver; and from Edmonton to Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean. There are stretches of highway in northern British Columbia where they warn you that the next gas station is more than 200 km away. Those same highways also look strange to southerner eyes because there are no power lines. When I drove around Great Slave Lake for work, there were a few other vehicles on the road but there were places where you felt you were the only person in the world. And that's just Canada. There is still plenty of wilderness in Canada. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. And I don't miss the bad food and bad medical care that was the lot of explorers in 1600.

[@filmandfirearms]

You would not want to live back then. You were lucky to just survive to adulthood, and once that hurdle was passed, there was still a great threat of disease. If you survived that, you could be pressed into service and become cannon fodder in one of the many, many wars that were raging constantly at the time. Let's say you got very lucky, surviving disease and warfare, and managed to get onto one of the exploratory voyages. Now you've got the joys of cross ocean travel back then. Months of freezing your ass off in the Atlantic and working like mad just to keep the ship going in the right direction, with nothing but beer to drink and nothing but stale hard bread to eat. It would be cool to visit, but not to live in that time. There's a reason those people are seen as heroes, because they pushed through all the horrible realities of the world they lived in

[@9duckman9]

Space awaits you!

[@Airbournjack]

Since other people have replied fairly recently i will as well. Better it is that the grass seems always greener both afore and behind, it keeps that spirit alive in some of us. As others have said that spirit of Exploration is not gone from this world just changed, you'll see it in the eyes of those that turn their gaze to the stars, you can find it in the eyes of those that choose to blaze highways carrying goods to people by truck especially those that extend out to the most remote and isolated those that take to roads covered in ice and snow. The only thing that kills the novelty of exploration is accepting that there is only 1 or 2 ways to go and that all the best things to see and experience have been mapped and shared to all, and even if you do believe that, humanity and civilization is its own landscape to explore.

[@joshuafuller9898]

Think about this for a moment- In the catalog of most songwriters, a song like this is a career-defining achievement. The cherry on top of a life's work. For Stan Rogers, this one probably clocks in on the top five list. He wrote that many magnum opus-level songs, despite losing his life at 33.

This song has a very specific feel to it. Don't quite know how to describe it other than maybe to call it a "keep buggering on" vibe. Or maybe if you prefer a "fight the good fight" vibe if, unlike me, you're someone with faith. It feels like the sort of song that would be sung many years from now, with close friends, one day when all are close to retiring and you're remembering days gone by

Thanks Guys. One of my favourite Stan songs. Your rendition is lovely!

[@janinecarson8380]

This song always gives me goose bumps.

[@sixthousandblankets]

This needs a studio recording of it's own.

I think I've heard this rendition of the song at least 30 times since around the 20th desember 2021, if not more.

Had never listened closely to this and just realized there's a verse all about the area I live in (B.C.). So few songs mention this area in a historical context, neat!
