As you can probably guess from my username I’m a huge Cowboy Junkies fan. I had the pleasure of going to see them this past week in a small venue and even being able to chat with Margo Timmins after in the lobby. I haven’t seen them live for over ten years and I believe I only had seen them live once prior to this week. This was the band that I’d listen to every day or nearly every day through high school and university. I always had a CD nearby.
Bea’s song is one that I had forgotten about until they played it at the concert. Amazing how I could sing every word after not hearing it for years. Cowboy Junkies are all about the sad, beautiful, songs. This one has a special connection to me because the Speed River that they refer to is in Guelph, Ontario, Canada and I spent a lot of time by that river. I biked along for a few summers going to work, I’d sit in a park nearby it and read a day away, and I’d go down by the banks just like they show in the video and just sit, journal, and pray. I hope I never live the story in this video.

cowboyjunkey. Reason: Embedded video doesn't show in post, added link
ya, great song. i’ve always liked their stuff too. i wondered why they never got more popular.
They were popular, had the big record deal, and played big concerts but they let that go to focus on doing things the way they wanted. Its part of their story I love.
well i respect that. like bruce cockburn.
AnonymousWow – that is the first song I have heard from these folks. Loved it. So sad and beautiful…
Reminds me a little of Wilco and even Alex Dezen.Love the Cowboy Junkies! Thanks!
@John I need to check out Wilco. I’ve heard of him but never the music. I’ve tried embedding videos using the code from youtube but it never works. Copy & paste, right?

Anonymous@CowboyJunkey Have you tried JUST copying and pasting the link?
yes @cowboyjunkies … copy and paste. looking forward to more.
I copy and paste the share link but maybe because its the shortened one that’s the problem. I’ll try straight from the browser address next time.
yes, when you click “share” on youtube, choose the “embed” one i think. not the “url” one.
