Yes Tom, at least it is the same chords. In our version we go into the lost canadian after singing the faith. Maybe the lost canadian is not that much lost any more.

Ok Peter:= Now we're sure he recorded that tune back in 1979. I like the song very much, it's The Partisan for our age.

How sweet to welcome me back like this, lizzytysh. I am curious to read about your other interpretation.

So according to peter danielsen it is a slow version of Un Canadien Errant. It is slow by nature, if I can say, I really wonder how it could be slowering more than this. Interesting. Very interesting. I imagine an almost talking text, a just-to-say signing. A kind of chanting?

I read somewhere that it was one of his mother's favourite song.

Hum...

Hi Tchocolatl ~

I'll be happy to PM it to you. If it was a favourite of his mother's, it would make sense for it to be on this particular album.

I'll be happy also. But if you made a kind of joke, it is half sweet, half bitter.

The Lost Canadian is one of my favourite folk song too. The version he made long time ago with some kind of Mexican trumpets (if some musicians here, could be of some help) was something else. It is one of his songs that I have to hear with my intellect to appreciate. The songs I prefer are the songs that I hear with my heart, that goes directly there, and/or directly under my skin.

Hi Tchocolatl ~

"But if you made a kind of joke, it is half sweet, half bitter." ~ No idea what this refers to

. Do you mean what I said awhile back, about other interpretations; or what I said just now, about being happy to PM it to you?

Either way, I was serious on both counts.

Hi Tchocolatl,
it is slow compared to Leonard's Recent Songs version of Un Canadien Errant. I never heard the real actual version. About singing - well, it is sung. I think it's only song on Dear Heather, along with all three Sharon Robinson's songs, which are actually been sung on DH.
