    The original song was big in my 90s Canadian childhood. Loved this sad cover! I put the Tom Cochrane version in driving playlists, and this version would be perfect for a nighttime driving playlist.

      The Tom Cochrane original was really big in the US, too. I clearly remember the song from when it came out, when I was in high school. Great song!
      Have you heard the Chris LeDoux version? I like that one as much (but not more than) the original. I'm not so fond of the Rascal Flatts version, though -- I don't hate it, I just don't care about it.

    On my first listen, the first chorus (that combination of gentle vocals and intense bass) made me laugh inadvertently, the kind of laugh that can happen in a very solemn place when your emotional wires get crossed. The texture, the movement, it's all compelling and beautiful and very effective!
    And that was, strangely, quite a validating outro. 😂🐊

      RASCAL FLATTS fucked up first by leaving out the harmonica and a cover should never end on a fadeout. I'm sure Cochrane did it live at enough concerts to give RF an idea how to close it properly. Again, a cover should not end on a fadeout.
