This song, written by Canadian Gordon Lightfoot to celebrate Canada’s Centennial in 1967, stands alone as the ultimate tribute to the men who built the railway.
While this song is proudly Canadian, I guarantee that it will touch the soul of everyone who listens. It speaks of grit and determination, dreams and desire. It is Canada’s unofficial anthem.
There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
When the wild majestic mountains stood alone against the sun
Long before the white man and long before the wheel
When the green dark forest was too silent to be real ....
Perfect capture. Great leading lines and I like how there's a haze in the background, helps create a natural feel. Great tones and lighting, especially in the tracks.
