I am absolutely dumb-founded why there are hardly any Ron Sexsmith comments for any of his songs. Many are heart-wrenching and put you in perhaps the greyest of moods, but the songs are beautiful (this song meanwhile has an upbeat tempo but somber subject matter). "Strawberry Blonde" takes me back to every time I go back to my hometown. Invariably, I'll recognize a past girlfriend or infatuation as a grocery store clerk, or a bartender, and so on and I wonder "What would have happened if..." This song to me is a 4-minute musical tale of a memory lasting for about 10 seconds, because the mind just races so fast and all of a sudden... the moment is gone.
