I grew up in a pretty turbulent home environment when I was a child. My one escape was seeing my counselor Kate who would take me to go ride horses, explore nature, and take time out of my crappy life as a kid to appreciate the true beauty in this world. At the end of our sessions together while she drived me back home, we would always listen to this song on repeat. Thank you Kate & The Rankin Family. Much love and appreciation. - Tim Update: It is with profound sadness that I must share that I was informed that Kate passed away on 10/14/22, just days after her 80th birthday. I can only say that her passing feels like a bright light of hope and love has been taken from this world. Anyone who knew Kate would tell you that if Kate knew you, she loved you. There are so few people in this world who have had the positive impact on young and old alike like Kate did. Kate changed lives. She left the world better than she found it. For that, my heart is a little lighter knowing that her beautiful soul is looking down from above. Now she gets to experience her love of nature from a different perspective - and what a better place to do it than in an eternal paradise? I am not writing this because I love Kate Kaster, but because Kate Kaster loved me. She will be with me always, and I hope I can live long enough to make her proud and give it my all to be the kind of loving and caring soul she was so that perhaps one day I would be able to hug her again.
what a beautiful and poignant memory to share. i wish you wellness and all the best in future! and i don't know if you will get... it was 2 years ago, your comment. haha. hope so
Ohhhh Tim ...this song gave me goosebumps but it will give me more now after reading your story💙 Right on Kate!! I hope she gets to know that you shared this with us all
This song cracks my top ten of all time list...and I'm a 37 year old dude in Law Enforcement with 4 kids who listens to everything from Eminem to heavy metal when i'm at the gym.. But this song is just gold. Thank you.
I remember playing this song about midnight Dec 1998 Christmas Eve after I heard my auntie had a stroke. A very kind friend lent me his vehicle from K country to Calgary to meet with family and I played the Rankins cd over and over and it gave me strength on that drive. The majestic mountains, silent road, stars in the sky. Only one on the road until the highway to the hospital. I still feel the same goosebumps and like I am back on that drive when I hear this song. My auntie did pass 4 days later. I am grateful I put family 1st as the fancy hotel didn't take kindly to me leaving the moment I heard at Xmas. Thank you to the Rankins for their talents. I have always loved they shared it with the world and have provided healing, dance and being proud to be Canadian and a Maritimer. ❤
May 1968 I was conducting military exercises at Camp Wainwright in beautiful Alberta and I will never forget the welcome and kindness conveyed to us Brits by the locals and Canadians in general , like the song I Will never forget you.God bless Canada.🙌
Dad was born in 1933 in London on a glorious 3rd of June day. Served both countries after immigrating in 1959. He's not got many days left. Your message would make him smile. God bless you and God save the Queen.
Fare thee well, love, Fare thee well, love, Far away, you must go. Take your heart, love, Take your heart, love, Will we never meet, again no more? Far across, love, Far across, love, O'er the mountains, and country wide. Take my heart, love, Take my heart, love, No one knows the tears I've cried CHORUS So I'll drink today, love, I'll sing to you, love, In paupers glory, my time I'll bide. No home or ties, love, a restless rover, If I can't have you by my side. Oh come back, love, Oh come back, love, The sun and moon refuse to shine. Since I've gone, love, gone away, love, This lonely girl has had no peace of mind. CHORUS So I'll drink today, love, I'll sing to you, love, In paupers glory, my time I'll bide. No home or ties, love, a restless rover, If I can't have you by my side. Fare thee well, love, Fare thee well, love, Far away, you must go. Take your heart, love, Take you heart, love, Will we never meet, again no more? Will we never meet, again no more?
Played at my Sons Funeral Dec 28th 2017 died of a drug overdose. We left Ft. Nelson BC a place we loved in 1993 and as we were leaving we were playing this song I cry every time hear it!! I miss him so much😭
Gary Johnston , so right you are Gary it puts a strain on my mind to try and rationalize how any Government can turn a blind eye to how drugs are killing the kids in this country more than ww11 and it’s not a crisis?? Then what is?? The new designer drugs are more powerful than ever before and hook kids instantly!!!! So sad 😞
My beautiful sister died on the 16th of February 1997, she was a doctor and should have been a great pediatrician, taken from me too early. I miss her so much this song was played at her funeral. If you read this you sent her into eternity with true beauty and I love you for it. I cry every time I hear it but know she would be laughing at me x x x
Last We Forget , I just came home from Remembrance Day services in Abbotsford, British Columbia and thought this is a song for today. God Bless Canada and all who died for us.
I am Canadian. Such a touching song by Nova Scotia's own Rankin Family. Fare thee well love. I can understand this pandemic. But I and you cannot understand the actions of one who attacked our citizens. Our history told us of the resilience of the Acadians, the Compassion and Willingness to help their fellow man. My heart like many others hurts but we will overcome. We will never allow another's actions to take away from who we are. Today is a wee bit better than yesterday, tomorrow will be a bit better. Please feel free to join in and sing this together for we are one. ............Nova Scotia Canada stands with you. May Gods Peace, Comfort Be with you all. In Jesus name. Amen.
I dedicate this song to my co-worker and co-humourist, Kim P. We worked switchboard together in 1992 at YRP and laughed until we cried. Kim introduced this song to me. I hope, that wherever you are Kim, life is nothing but beautiful for you and your daughter. Thank you for the laughter and the shoulder to cry on.
The most powerful song ever. Never fails to raise the hair on the back of my neck at ~ 2:57. When I see closeups of Raylene and J-M my heart breaks that they're gone...
My heart goes out to all Raylene's family and friends and fans tonight as we all mourn this beautiful woman's life of love and laughter and song.!.God bless and comfort her dear children and husband with supernatural grace! We are blessed that she chose to sing for us all for so many years..and we can always enjoy her gift to us for as long as God spares us..for we are in His Hands..and know not what tomorrow brings...Amgels are rejoicing now and she is with her Maker!!!!...xx
I was living in Manitoba for 16 yrs...away from maritimes...then The Rankins launched and hit the radio....I moved home...every song made me homesick...I drove all the way home and sang along with the Rankins the WHOLE way!!!! I AM sorry for your loss.....and ours a well....
In 2005 we drove the Ceildh Trail on Cape Breton Island and came to the little village of Mabou, home of The Rankin family. Wonderful, we could take home a Rankin treasure from the very town they grew up. We stopped at their only store - The General Store - and proudly walked in asking the owner for a Rankin CD to take back to the west coast of Canada. The lady was bemused. She told us, if want a Rankin CD you will have to drive to Halifax to get it. But we fondly remember Michael Enright's very poignant interview with Raylene on the Sunday Morning edition of CBC Radio program in June 2012, just a few months before she died. Out of that, we have Raylene's final tribute to all of us - her CD - All the Diamonds. Indeed the family is a Canadian treasure and always will be.
So sad, reminds me of my father. He used to sing this song with my aunt (his sister) and they sounded exactly like the two who actually sing it. ... RIP Dad
I had this song played when the pall bearers left the church the last time with my son's body in 1993. He was only 19 years old. I had only heard it once on the radio and everyone search for it for me. I still weep when I hear it.
Although this song can be seen as the parting because of the death. There is a double entendre here. Remember the Rankin's ancestors would have come from the British Isles possibly as early as the late 1600's - but most certainly as late as the early 1800's. Leaving family behind to go to the New World would most certainly have felt like the family members leaving were dying because considering the great cost - going back to visit was not an option. A two lovers parting....
What a lose to our great country of Canada. And what a tragedy to a family who's missing more than a few talented individuals in their midst. God rest your soul Raylene. There's a special place in heaven for those with angelic voices.
A song that gave me one of my best family memories as I drove from Ontario to Newfoundland and probably the best song and performance for me, ever. Absolutely inspiring. Thank you.
Oh my heart. Beyond a doubt these voices in this song is superb and when the camera moves to capture all five siblings with their harmonies...tears begin to flow.
I'm a proud Cape Breton musician, The Rankins was one of and still my favorite music group of all time. If this song came out today, it will be an absolute hit! RIP Raylene, may your Spirit move on and touch others!
My father just passed💔😭....this song is the comfort for my heart right now🙏🏻💔✨😭.....I’ve loved and listened to this song since it was first released🎶♥️✨ Now I know it was for just this moment❣️✨ Thank you🙏🏻🎶♥️✨.......(My father’s roots were in Newfoundland) This song means more than I can express.....Thank You, Rankin Family🥰🙏🏻♥️✨
So many memories of listening to The Rankin Family in the car on holidays or longer journeys. I always dip into their music over the years and the songs take me straight back.

I Lived and worked in a small mining town called Manitouwadge in Northern Ontario in mid 90s. I was a welder /mechanic for a mining contractor. My master mechanic wasTerry Rankin. We found out that he was kin to the Rankin family. Mabou never let's go of their own! Someone asked if he was related to the family and he calmly replied , yes they're my cousins!
28 yrs ago and it still reaches in and grabs my heart as much today as it did then - have Rankins cranked up to rant against damn VIRUS and everything it’s done to us - such a Canadian thing I know to rant with beautiful music - just want the universe to know we’re here and not gonna be defeated - crank even higher and sob 💕🙏💕
I so love this song still brings tears to my eyes after all these years. Would love to see them in concert.. just left this this band they are so beautiful singers would love to see them in concert at some time
Heard the song so many times, and yes its awsome, so lets give the video creators some credit, the video is so nicely edited it gives the track so much more relevance.
I lived in Canada for over 40 years before returning to my home in Vienna, but in all that time, I had never been to Nova Scotia. Pity. If I were, I would say: "Take me home!"
MISS U ALREADY BUDDY...HAVE ONE OF THE BIGGEST BADDEST YET LOVELY N FROATHIEST GUINESS FOR ME WHEN U GET HOME !! WE SEE YOU AGAIN !! RIP rest easy we gona b ok...😭
This is a beautiful song I’ve been a fan since I was a kid in the 80’s and 90’s and still am a big fan I want to see this wonderful beautiful band some day
I end up feeling the entire spectrum of emotions when listening to this song. Few things I’ve found that have such a profound effect on me. This is simply beautiful and if it fails to tuck your soul, I take pity on you.
thank you so much..you took me back to simpler times and happy memories..even though the lyrics are sad..this song came out when my son was born...I wonder if he still remembers me singing this to him..I hope so..
Such a beautiful soul touching song… I listened to this song, when my 36 yo brother accidentally died❣️I would listen to this song over and over and over again! I was singing ‘Fare thee well love’ to my sweet brother…
I'm not sure there is a more beautiful harmony to be found than these kids... "Don't tell me of Love....I've loved more richly and deeply than you could possibly imagine"
This tune has now been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame as of today September 4, 2020 !!!
❤❤❤❤❤ God bless and rejoice!!!
Canadian treasure.
One of the goosebumpiest songs Canada has ever produced!
About time!
As it should be , this song stands shoulder to shoulder with ‘ The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald ‘
Canada’s East Coast treasure ❤🇨🇦 RIP John Morris , Raylene 🙏🏻🫶🏻

Such a beautiful soul touching song… I listened to this song, when my 36 yo brother accidentally died❣️I would listen to this song over and over and over again! I was singing
‘Fare thee well love’ to my sweet brother…
This is such a beautiful song, so very well done! Thank you for your contributions to the beauty and harmony of this world.
Beautiful! One of the best live concerts I have ever seen.
I've loved this song for 20 years. Still makes me cry. Rest in peace Raylene.- will always be loved, especially in Nova Scotia.

This is a brilliantly beautiful song. What else can one say about it?
I'm not sure there is a more beautiful harmony to be found than these kids...
"Don't tell me of Love....I've loved more richly and deeply than you could possibly imagine"

Takes a Canadian, and our heritage, to understand ... truly
Timeless beauty, still gives me goosebumps
one song to describe the end of a relationship ❤️
I didn't know she had died.That's so sad. The family has been through so much. R.I.P. Now you're with your brother.
Such a great song.
This was playing at the end of my mother's funeral today. She was a true Cape Bretoner.
Achingly beautiful.
