    I want this to be played at my funeral. So that it can tell those that are grieving that this is not the end. I've only gone further down the road.

    The fact that he died 5 days after recording this gives me chills. Considering the lyrics of the song, I wonder if it was some extraordinary coincidence or if he really did have a gut feeling that he wasn't going to be around much longer.

    i just discovered this 10 mins ago. i can't find a better word than 'beautiful' to call this song and i wish i could. im glad other people could hear something about his voice, as i was listening i thought simply and inexplicably "this guy must've died" thats so weird. anyway his voice is so warm and comfortable, comforting, like a cinnamon bob ross

    Whenever I hear this song, I think about how he left us much too early and the pain it still brings to the heart. It's as if he were giving us a word of comfort and solace with this song.

    Sun is rising high, burning into the day
    I will say goodbye, I'll be going away
    Brush away my doubts, what tomorrow will hold
    Feeling fine for now, going down the road
    To a city to sing, about the trees and the wind
    'Bout the hills in spring, and the rivers that bend
    The rocky deep pass, and the poppies and ponies
    Running through the grass, up and down the road
    In the dark they sit and they hollar for more
    White smoke in a wisp, from here to the door
    Their admission they paid, for the stories they're told
    Of a clear new day, hold me down on the road
    So heavy rain at my back, lazy meadows ahead
    In my book I keep track, of the promises said
    For my songs in a town, that tomorrow will hold
    Feelin' better for now, facin' down the road
    Sun is rising high, burning into the day
    I will say goodbye, I'll be going away
    Brush away my doubts, what tomorrow will hold
    Feeling fine for now, going down the road

    I think I know what song I want played at my funeral, a (hopefully) 60+ years from now. Just listening to this song makes me feel that wistful way as if it was the funeral song of someone in my life who had died many years ago (in a way it is; this was nary a week before Stan died). I also like the picture it evokes. Throwing away my doubts, to what tomorrow will hold. I'm feeling fine for now, going down the road.

    I have quite a few of Mowat's books actually. :) My grandfather spent most of his young adult life up in Newfoundland and really just fell in love with the whole lifestyle and everything. Unfortunately, he couldn't remain there but he brought back some of the culture with him and that's how I became interested in it. I'll have to check out Berton some time. Thanks!

    Andrew Munro ~ I have to say that I agree with you. It does seem that
    Stan seemed to somehow know that his time was limited. Maybe it
    seems that way to us because his tragic passing was soon after this
    recording. Whatever the case, he certainly left us with with a tremendous
    amount of music that touches our hearts and souls. RIP Stan.

    Hi Linz:Thanks for uploading his music.It got me through a rough time,and addressed some things I always wondered about the ships docked at Port McNicoll in the early l980's.Don't know if you'll agree or catch the significance,or care, seeing as how you're to the south, but he should be as iconic to Canada as Farley Mowat and Pierre Berton (you might like Farley, as he spins a good sea - faring tale) and Pierre's books show our politicians from the past to be less than squeaky clean.

  • @chao9111

    Listening to the original (or atleast, the version via the person Stan learned it from) it was played so much faster, with a much more energetic pace. Stan really took this and put his signature somber baritone on it like it belonged there. I think of Cash doing Hurt, for example. It doesn't devalue the original, it's the salt to taste. It's contrast and character. Folk music is so lovely to me for this reason; as the years wile along, we can all come together in song. We may come and go but of all things, our songs will always be there, meeting new people.
