The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut,
Which eventually pulled out the Ford
With some difficulty

Well more rain than we’d seen for a thousand years
Caused financial joys and biblical fears
It caused some smiles it caused some tears
But more to the point of our story
For The first time in the collective memory,
That old brown prairie that had been so dry for so long was very muddy
Boggy and sticky
We’d pull one truck out and get another stuck in
And motors would roar and tires would spin
We’d sink right down, down to the diff, and we’d all take turns and do it again
Till no one could move, we’d call one more friend,
Come on out here, we need you…bring your truck

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford
And the Dodge
They got me stuck in the mud, so they couldn’t rehearse
And Chavase too has missed his work
Richie, he now fears the worst, he stood up his ex wife she called him a jerk
Course Holman didn’t have nothing better do to, ‘cept ranch.

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford

Well it was truck after truck, we all got stuck
‘cept the big old four by hutterite truck
We all thought “lord are we in luck!”
But he wouldn’t come anywhere near us,
Mighty neighborly, mighty neighborly.

So we used a lot of our backs, a little of our brains
We jacked up the jacks, and snugged up the chains,
We all did our very best to refrain from shovelin’.
We put what timber we had, underneath the wheels
And we was all out of sand, but managed to steal
Two sacks of the best modern canola seed you ever did see,
That ‘oughta give us some traction

The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck
But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up
But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut
Which eventually pulled out the Ford

We spilled genetically modified canola seed
That was genetically modified for controlling the weeds
And for big old yields and margarine oil, raised hell all over that native prairie soil
Agriculture Canada is definitely gonna be looking for us

Deb Talan



When you were a child and we all lived in the wild
And we married
And carried you in our arms and in our hearts
We were two, then three
Full and free just to be with you, see you
Made us feel anew, just like every day, love you like today
It's your birthday

Even though your mother's suddenly crying
She says it is the cake in the kitchen, you know she's lying
Your brothers fighting of your balloons
Still, the radio is playing all your favourite tunes
And Daddy will take down "Peter Pan" from the shelf
And he'll read it out loud, though you could read it yourself
You're growing up, you're growing up
But don't grow away from me

Oh, life is like a dream
The moment in between when you wake and sleep
In the deep, knowing it now, knowing how
It's heavy though, we can help you grow
Wanna package up the world like a present
We fail and try again

It's your birthday. I finally see
To let you go is the only way to really help you fly
But I'd rather hold on tight

You are a shining star
A bright spot in the universe
While things here go from bad to worse
So dark what lonely people do
Take too much, take too fast, eat too much
I wish there could be more of your kind
Grow strong, we'll ride along
It's your birthday

Dean Brody Mountain Man



It was a beautiful sunny morning, so we went for a drive
Hiked up in the mountains, and we lost track of time
A kissin' and a huggin', never saw the sun go down
I said "Baby we're lost", and she proceeded to freak out
So I said,

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
And that coyote howls, and the grizzly bear he growls
I can get you through the night, oh yes I can
I'm a mountain man

I gave her a little hug, I said "There's no need to cry"
I used to be a beaver scout all I need is this Buck knife
I can carve a hook, pull fish from a brook and I bang on with a gun
Except tonight I don't really have one, and well, that's half the fun
Awe you know I'm only kiddin' Hun

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I know you're a city girl, but if you had to you could eat a squirrel
Yeah I'd cook him up just right, you know I can
I'm a mountain man

We could pick berries in the moonlight
'Cause I know which ones to eat
How to recognize poison ivy
Should you go lookin' for leaves

Baby baby don't panic, I know how to cook bannock
I can build you a fire, I know you're tired, ain't this romantic?
I can bugle an elk, I can rattle a deer, I can grow you a big ol' bushy beard
And live up here all year and never go back
Yeah I'm a mountain man
A man with a plan
You're in good hands
Yeah, I'm your mountain man

Awe don't cry Honey, It's all gonna' be alright

Jules singer from Toronto!



The debut album by Toronto Alt-Indie artist Jules does not sound like it was made by a 16 year old.  People Watching features nine intensely rich songs ranging from “Fool’s Gold,” about her Instagram generation’s preoccupation with fake lives over human touch to the I-had-him-first destined hit “Before You Picked Her,” and don’t-mess-with-me “Prey.”

Serena Rider Rocking the North.



Don't want you in my dreams, don't want to fall asleep
Don't want to miss anything that you're gonna do to me
It's like a laser beam when it's just you and me
And all our thoughts they turn into e-e-e-energy
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know your shock is true
It's such a tr-tr-tr-tr-trip (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're plugging into me
High-voltage chemistry

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

You're in the heart of me, every part of me
You've got the everything I ever wanted it to be
It's perfect synergy when it's just you and me
And when we touch it turns into e-e-e-electricity
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know your shock is true
It's such a tr-tr-tr-tr-trip (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're plugging into me
High-voltage chemistry

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

You and me, we are electric soldiers
With the power of lightning in our eyes
Don't believe a single world they told ya
When they said that we would never last, we'll always survive

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow

Our love's electric and now, babe
So close to water that we'll never know
If there's a chance of surviving
If there's a chance, baby, we're gonna blow (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Our love's electric, electric (woah, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Jan Arden one of the best








How do you cool your lips
After a summer's kiss
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare
How do you block the sound of a voice
You'd know anywhere

[Chorus]
Oh I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Your casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush
How do you free your soul
After you've found a friend
How do you teach your heart it's time
To fall in love again

Oh you probably won't remember me
It's probably ancient history
I'm one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

[Chorus]
