(spoken)
Thank you very much! Now we are very, uh, patriotic Canadians and, uh, we'd like to take this moment to um, to do our national anthem that we wrote.

(song)

When I look around me
I can't believe what I see
It seems as if this country
Has lost it's will to live

The economy is lousy
We barely have an army
But we can still stand proudly
'Cause Canada is really big

We're the second
largest country
On this planet earth
And if Russia
keeps on shrinking
Then soon we will be first
(as long as we keep Quebec)

The USA has tanks
And Switzerland has banks
They can keep them fanks(?)
They just don't amount

'Cause when you get down to it
You find out what the truth is
It isn't what you do with it
It's the size that counts

Those people will tell you
That France is pretty large
But you can put fourteen Frances
Into this land of ours
(facing a lot of work.
that'd take a whole lot of work.)

We're larger than Malasia
Almost as big as Asia
We're bigger than Australia
And that's a Continent

So big we sell them butter
To go see one another
Though we often go to other
Countries for vacations

Our mountains are very pointy
Are prairies are not
The rest is kinda bumpy
But man do we have a lot!
(we got a lot of land,
we got a whole lot of land)

So stand up and be proud
And sing out very loud
We stand out from the crowd
'Cause Canada's really big

    This is actually a song by the arrogant worms, for anyone that is interested in such things.

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
