I am a Canadian who lived in L.A. in the 90's working in the film industry. At that time, Sloan played at a club there and when, during this song, they sang " I know that I'll be living it in Canada" the whole crowd screamed. I never knew how many Canadians were in L.A. Great song.
@@DiscoLeafs maybe…..just perhaps…… they used that line in a song that wasn’t yet this one…… just perhaps :))) They toured east coast Canada in like 95/96…. Sometimes, one song may get worked into another….you know ?
Back in the 90's I was a frequent at an all-ages dive bar in Hamilton named X-Club. Although It was a tiny little place, it always had great live acts! On one particular night, the performers listed on the card included a band called "Salon" Selectives! Quite the surprise!!!
I'm from an hour north of Detroit in Michigan. but I'm also half native American and my reserve is in Canada so I've been going there since I was a kid. not too much difference between the people especially close to the border.. they get more Canadian as you go farther north lol
@@ezio_Winchester Hey there! I live in Ontario. I've been to the US when I was younger, and though there are things in the US that I'd still like to see, I really wish I could see more of Canada and learn more about it.
@@ezio_Winchester Couldn't agree more! My family is scattered throughout both countries and the biggest difference I find is that relatives on the US side wear shoes in their homes!
Sometimes when your bored? Your down about your underdog Hometown Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. this song makes ya so proud to be a Haligonian Nova Scotian
We love you Sloan. Thank you for always putting on a free show in Barrie Ontario... I look forward to seeing you every time.. you are so generous and such a real ass band.. almost every song brings tears to my eyes... Love you always xoxox
Since the demise of The Tragically Hip, Sloan is by default the best rock band in Canada. Which is amazing. The odd thing is that this band has been around for a long time and doesn't get the recognition it deserves. going on 30 years with the original members, some of them taking part time jobs to get by. to get by.
@@nullentry6032 can you believe that they didn't bow to the corporate music machine that promote music ? well that has a lot to do with their lack of success in USA
Last concert I went to before covid. They played a show in St. Catharines. Still sound exactly the same after all these years. Not what I consider real headline material anymore but still a great festival pick
Murph! You're the only one that could pull that off and it looks rad man!! After all these years, still fucking cool. Sloan is the tightest band to come from these beau provinces. God bless them.
Well… perhaps someone has already commented in a similar fashion but from my hippy perspective, the lead singer is a perfect combination of John Denver, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. Just saying.
I started thinking bout the rest of my life I found myself just looking out for trouble and strife Someone with whom I'd spend the rest of my days But if I ever said I wasn't set in my ways Well then I guess you caught me lying to myself What kind of fool doesn't think about it What kind of fool doesn't think about it You'd have to be a fool not to think about it Am I Gonna settle down Am I gonna be Someone who has to take the rest of my life To settle down Well I guess you caught me lying to myself We'll make a man outta me One thing I know about the rest of my life I know that I'll be living it in Canada I know I said I'll share the rest of my days But I was only going through a phase Am I Gonna settle down Am I gonna be Someone who has to take the rest of my life To settle down Well I guess you caught me lying to myself What kind of fool doesn't think about it You have to be a fool not to think about it Am I Gonna settle down Am I gonna be Someone who has to take the rest of my life Am I Gonna settle down Am I gonna be Someone who has to take the rest of my life To settle down Well I guess you caught me lying to myself
Is this a Mandela effect?? I always thought Sloan was very famous and that everyone knew this song but I went to show it to my wife and she's never heard it, and this barely has any views. wtf is going on? Maybe it's because I'm from Nova Scotia, but I thought they were just as known as like Creed or any other big bands from a little while ago
A video visually cooler than the song it showcases; not their best by a Canadian country mile, but all the best of bands have some relative- stinkers lurking in their respective canons of work…
Action Pact is when the decline began. This song in particular rubs me the wrong way. It's totally a color-by-numbers Sloan song that sounds completely mailed in. And the line about "I know that I'll be living it in Canada" is a cringeworthy attempt to create a cheap sing-along moment for concerts.
I dont see the Canada reference as a bad thing, it's just simple marketing, their primary audience is Canadian, so they give a little shout out to the audience.
