    The greatest singer story teller in music history. I take some solace that he's playing for the big band in the sky.

    I usually hate when people cover this song because so many people have done it and you can't really cover it, but Gord downie proved me wrong. This is and will be the best version of the song.

    A few years ago I came looking for this song, and could only find versions that had audio ripped from the movie. The song was broken up in parts (and possibly incomplete), and was mixed in with the rest of the audio from the film (the announcer, cheering spectators, etc.). Great to hear a complete, "clean" version.
