Song of the Day: October 17, 2016 - "The Stranger" by Gord Downie
I hope you're ready for a good cry, because this one's going to pull on all the heartstrings. Not only for the subject matter of Secret Path, the story of Chanie Wenjack, an Ojibway boy that died after fleeing from a residential school in 1966, but that it comes from Gord Downie.
I've expressed before my huge love of the man, and the Tragically Hip, but between the new music (and coming on-air special on October 23rd on the CBC) and his recent interview with Peter Mansbridge (embedded below), my heart is breaking.
So curl up on the couch for this one, and grab some tissues, because it's beautiful and crushing.
