A little slide show made from shots by Candace Owen. The shots were taken around Newfoundland.
The song is "No Change In Me", by Ron Hynes. It was co-written by Ron and Murray MacLauchlan. A song about Newfoundlanders leaving their homes even though they want to stay. They leave for better jobs and a bigger chance.
Thanks to Ron for being so nice. :) I won't trade the guitar. Hope to see you again really soon!
Lyrics:
You could shoot off a cannon
Down the middle of Bond,
and attract no attention in downtown St. John's.
This getting nowhere is getting to me
Wondering where can you go
To be all you can be
No regular Joe wants to pull up and go
Just to wind up homesick
Where there's no one you know
Just a smoke and a beer
And the sports on T.V.
Being sorry you left
With no chance but to leave
No change in the weather
No change in me
I don't want to leave
But you can't live for free
You can't eat the air
And you can't drink the sea
No change in the weather
No change in me
You could shoot off a cannon
From the top of Long's Hill
And a Gulliver's taxi might be all that you'd kill
We were promised the sun and the moon and the stars
We got weathered old clapboard
And salt rusted cars
So I'll join in the leaving like all of the rest
For Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver West
Lay down on the sidewalk
And kick off and die
Watch people not looking
As they hurry by
No change in the weather
No change in me
I don't want to leave
But you can't live for free
You can't eat the air
And you can't drink the sea
No change in the weather
No change in me
No change in me
I don't want to leave
but you can't live for free.
Down here, you can't live for free.
And you can't eat the air
and you can't drink the sea...
No change in the weather
no change in me.

Believe it or not I just became aware of Ron because of a "new" show I discovered called The Republic Of Doyle. A few episodes in, they played Ron Hynes' No Change In Me at the close. I was literally frozen in my chair. He spoke to something in my soul in a way that I can't explain. Born and raised in Cleveland Ohio, I now feel the need to travel to Newfoundland.

I've known so many Newfoundlanders who couldn't stand to be away from home, and returned, no matter that they were leaving good jobs behind and had no prospects in Newfoundland. "I'd rather starve where I'm loved", one said, almost thirty years ago, "where my folks lie." I can certainly understand where this song comes from.

RIP Ron Hynes!! Spent 3 weeks touring around Newfoundland some yrs ago, and it was the most beautiful place you could ever imagine! Besides the scenery, the fish & chips are the best, and the breakfast sausages and bakeapple jam are to die for!! As for the Newfies, you couldn't find a more friendly and helpful bunch in the whole world! Would love to go back someday, but at 79 yrs old and the pandemic, I don't think it will happen!

@@caitlinhickey6 Rest easy there Angry Newf. Thanks for offering your unfounding assertions of my percieved lack of historical knowhow on the matter. What I said was a tongue in cheek joke, as I know full well how despised Smallwood was and why. Yet, for better or worse, this song was written well after your Island joined the confederation, and was absorbed politically and culturally into Canada. So we all can claim heritage to it. Additionally you can thank us mainlanders for having economies strong enough to support you poor backwards folk as you come, work, and take our money back to The Rock' so you can blast it all on your fish-kissing jigger smashing cèilidhs. Your welcome. A thankyou for all my tax money over the three decades I have worked that funnel there way into transfer payments to keep your wood panels well painted would have made a classier comment.

@@OneEyedKeys ah yes, typical mainland Canadian prejudice and discrimination against Newfoundlanders. You just proved you don’t know our history because if you did you’d know we don’t receive transfer payments. We haven’t in over a decade. Thank you for showing your true colours on here for everyone else to see. I love when mainlanders show that the “friendly and liberal” stereotype of Canadians is the furthest thing from the truth. No matter how much you want Newfoundland culture to be yours it’s not. Deal with it. If you think of Newfoundlanders in such a horrible light then why are you listening to our music? You’re the one who needs to “rest easy.” You know that you’ve struck a nerve with someone when they sink so low by resorting to insulting an entire cultural group of people in such a cruel discriminatory manner. This is the very reason why Newfoundlanders dislike mainlanders and why we’ll continue put our foot down when you lot try to lay claim to Newfoundland’s culture. You have no right to be talking about what constitutes a “classy comment.” You threw class out the window when you commented in a mocking and fake Newfoundland accent in a pathetic attempt to mock my ancestry and origin. You don’t know the definition of classy. Hilarious for you to be saying all of this in a comment section of this song. A song about the pain Newfoundlanders feel when leaving home, not wanting to leave but having no choice because “you can’t eat the air and you can’t drink the sea.” You’re certainly not very intelligent. The song certainly went over your head.
