What feeling do you get from the song?

How does it speak about the land? or people?

"So we don't fuck with the 401" the song speaks about keeping away from the 401 when weather is bad and the death that has happened.]]> 2017-10-24 14:53:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200021706 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200022430
This is a very slow and melodic song that is reminiscent of the small town in the Kawarthas and gives a very laid back feel.
It talks about the stars in this song, because in Bobcaygeon there is very little light pollution compared to Toronto, so the stars are very visible, which speaks to the lifestyle there compared to the busyness of Toronto

The song mentions a news article worthy moment where a coyote was found in the city. I think the song speaks to the monotonous life of living in the city. There are references to Northern Lights and to the ocean. These are things and places that can be seen in the wild, places where people do not dominate over the land. I wonder if the author is trying to make a comment about how we are taking over wild places, and not the animals that are meant to live there are seen as invasive and not welcome. ]]> 2017-10-24 14:56:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200023823 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200026108 The song is talking about the Montreal Massacre in 1989. It talks about an innocent girl who was perceived to be a girl who liked rich men and fancy clothing etc. But really she's just  an innocent girl, nothing how the 'coward' perceives her. It speaks about the land because the song describes they must get bad winters up there and the feeling i get from the song is sadness. ]]> 2017-10-24 15:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200026108 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027199 The title looks sad because it is about divorce. The narrator's  remorse is gaining everyday, and he found the martial breakdown became the end of world for him. I can feel the sadness and frustrate from the song.]]> 2017-10-24 15:01:49 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027199 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027249 This song is about Niagara Falls. The melody is slow and steady like the flow of the waterfall. A friend calls him up in the middle of the night, and they talk about beautiful things. This song is inspired by the story of Miss Rumphius. In the story, Miss Rumphius wishes to travel the world and return to her house by the sea.]]> 2017-10-24 15:01:54 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027249 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027703 This song is talking about the political issues in Sault Ste. Marie in the late 1900s. The song is upbeat and reminds people of the sunshines and beaches in summer. The title "Born is water" might be named because of the town's location which is around water. 
This song brings up the political side of Canada, because Sault Ste. Marie is a english-only city. The lyrics also criticize how people can only speaks english by using irony. ]]> 2017-10-24 15:02:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200027703 https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200028742 This song is actually a story from Downie's childhood; he grew up in Kingston, Ontario, and remembers hearing about a breakout from Millhaven Institution, in Bath, ON. This shows how personally close to Canada Downie really is and how his experiences growing up here have stayed with him through his life.]]> 2017-10-24 15:04:07 UTC https://padlet.com/nbendle/yf5btre6p6ei/wish/200028742
