I'm on the rocky road
Heading down off the mountain slope
And as my steps echo echo,
louder than before
Another day is done,
say goodbye to the setting sun
See what I found,
Turn back to the ground
Just like before

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

Into the undergrowth,
Twist and turn on a lonely road
In the twilight
the day turns to night
And I'm alone

And when the light has let
I'm not sure of my every step
Follow the wind that pushes me west
Back to my bed

And Hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day
Hey hey hey hey
Hey beautiful day, hey beautiful day

When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home
When the night feels my song
I'll be home, I'll be home

Ouch - this tough to hear following PG's Road to Joy...
RIP Zellers
INTERESTING! GOOD TUNE!  Nice mix of genres. I don't care what anybody else says! It is the first time I've heard it.  Thanx RP!

I remember seeing these guys when they weren't big at all. In fact they used to play at the uni bar (Guelph university, Canada) quite a bit. It's great to see them getting getting recognized all the way over in California.


PCH?  (Peter Clark Hall for those in the know...although Cali does feature the Pacific Coast Highway, tbh...)

I literally cringe when I hear the beginning of this song, thinking about having to hear that note at the end.
Mon, we all talk like this in K-town, eh

Very much like!

Actually I think Ginger Baker invented African rhythm and and tempo to percussion.

Total coincidence that I just posted this colab on the Coeur de Pirate track that was played a few minutes ago?

this was enjoyable..
This was first discovered in a Zeller's commercial - the Canadian equivalent of Target. 
Must be the winner of a Paul Simon Soundalike contest.

"say goodnight to the setting sun..."

Perfect timing.


What is a soundclash in the West Bank?

Yeah, why not?   It was, after all, intended as a compliment.  You're seeing a slight when none was intended.

 

Only the original poster knows why this is a compliment...I still don't get it. 
How do you see this as a compliment? And I don't see it as a slight but as ignorance.

Dude... it was a compliment to their musicanship, and not a dig on music of Canadian artists.  I would say the same thing if they were from Vermont, Washington, Russia, Japan or whatever. Take a {#Chillpill}.

 

Then you will have to spell it out for me: How does saying you can't believe these guys are Canadian equate to a compliment on their musicianship?
That's a distinctly Canadian problem.  The rest of us majority who haven't gotten beat over the head with this song are happy to hear it again.

I wished I lived where a station played this song so much I got sick of it.


Never heard this before....i hear some Pressure Drop influence...

Pleasant and positive. We need more tunes like this in the world!!!
Good
i dig this song: very positive
Oh, the day IS beautiful - it's like 38 degrees and sunny!
I will never get tired of hearing this song. It's an RP gem.
I like it! Has that old time Reggae-Ska feel; back when Ska was good.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Sounds like some post-Graceland Paul Simon (which is a good thing).

The first couple times I heard it, I thought it was fun.
But after a thousand times hearing it in various media, I want it to go away forever.
Sure, it's a cute song, but there isn't enough substance to make it last.
This song needs to be buried in a deep hole in the ground.

I'll be nice, and give it a 4.

This is fairly catchy (a good thing in my book), but its staying power just isn't there.  The more I hear it, the less I like it.
good summer vibes!

Exactly! You stole my thoughts. I guess why they're called "soundclash", 'cuz it sure does. 

Good natured, upbeat....kinda nice to listen to after a rough midweek.

YAY!

Not "overplayed" in Vinyl Land ! Still,just bumped it from #6 to #7 .{#Jump}
Now that this is no longer overplayed on Canadian radio — or that I now listen mostly to RP — I think I can finally appreciate this tune.

3 => 6 

Thanks RadioDoc! Been trying to get people to stop re-posting the weasel.

Lighten up dude!  Can't be doing you a lot of good being so negative.  Hey, it's a beautiful day! 

A catchy feel-good tune. Unfortunately not a strong vocalist as revealed in the other songs on the album, but he gets away with it here.

Will you give it a rest, please?

There are now eight comments from you on this page... we get it, you don't like the song.
Next time please hit the mute button and spare us the ninth vitriolic message.


Same, same... it is strange how the memories could be collective with the rigth tune.

"Oh, Yay!!"
That's what i said out loud to my cat in the middle of our Hallball game when this song came on.
It's just so happy and light hearted and feeling good
And Canadian!
Thanks Bill {#Cool}
P.S.  And to those people who left a negative comment, that i read after i posted this.... {#Nyah}

Alriiiiiight, no better way to start off my day than discordant reggae-lite.  {#No}

This comment is worth repeating. This song, however, is not worth repeating.
Ya know, the more I hear this, the less I like it. Meh.
Sounds like white-bread Paul (Simon) sings "Preppie Reggae" while wearing his Ralph Laurens. Has a nice beat tho'.
bizon wrote:

They also need to pick one freaking key and stick with it. But of course, we're treated to as much off-key singing as four minutes will hold.
Only if you're still stuck on "Mother and Child Reunion". He's done a FEW things since then. Derecho wrote:

Right, one of the backup singers really can't find the note on the aCapella part. Plus they rush the beat. So annoying. Maybe I've just heard it too many times.
Yes, someone in the a capella is incredibly flat, which destroys the harmony. (Insert pertinent "soundclash" joke here.) And yes, it's in incredibly heavy rotation. It also sounds just like "Pressure Drop," yet another song in very heavy rotation, which is why it sounds like you hear it every few hours.

Ouch. That's a rough transition from Led Zep to this. And I like this song.
yet another reason to love RP - thank you for introducing me to this song.

This song had been the reason for me to purchase the album. And I can say that the entire CD is worth listening to.
Sounds like reggae alright.

"Pressure Drop"?
One of those "damn, it's good to be alive" songs.
A happy, uplifting song for a dull, cold, cloudy, winter Illinois day. THANK YOU!

it sounds like the song Johnny Too Bad - The Slickers. it is from The Harder They Come. It's also covered by Taj Mahal and Steve Earle. Steve's version has been played on RP but not in over a year.

Never had heard of this song before RP. Now I carry it in my car and each time my daughter an I sit in the car we loudly sing it together (good to know: my daughter is 6 y/old and her english is -of course- pretty poor, but she loves to sing the sound of the words).

I was just going to ask if this song seemed to to anyone else to be in heavy rotation. It's ok, but I'm tired of it.
Instant classic. Everytime I hear this song I come here to rate it and found it is already a 9, but after doing it so many times, I still and one more to go. It finally makes the cut 9 -> 10.
wonderful song

These guys are in heavy rotation in Toronto, especially on 102.1... I dig it. :)
