Stan Rogers - Northwest Passage [Lyrics] 

This is the most majestic geography lesson I've ever heard

Unequivocally one of the greatest songs ever written.

What a remarkable song. This one is a true gift from Stan Rogers. RIP brother.

This should be our National Anthem

My dad and I sang this song to my brother at his wedding rehearsal dinner last year.

As a distant relative of Sir John Franklin on my mother's side, I find this so beautiful and moving. A work of art, sung wonderfully.

This song always make me tear up. It reaches really deep!

Amazing. No musical backing at all. Just Stan and a few backup vocals. Gives me shivers.

I sort of slip into a trance when ever I hear this song.

I love this song.

Stan Rogers was one of the finest singer-songwriters of the 20th century. His tragic death at 33 robbed us of 40 or 50 more years of great music. Thanks for sharing one of my favorite songs of his!

Dear god, i am glad i got this song accidentally on my mix. It litterally played when i got to go sailing for the first time. It's been my favorite song ever since

its 2020 and i a 15 year old german teenager is loving this song its just awesome and hella relaxing

Although the events of the northwest passage are set in 19th century, Ubisoft could have put this song in assassin's creed Rogue. Simply beautiful

Never gets old.

My wife and I used to love listening to this together! GW. :--}>

Great job on the lyrics. I recently found Stan Rogers and looked into the history described in the lyrics. I can’t help but cry when I listen to this song, after learning about the many failed expeditions in search of a Northwest Passage between the North Pacific and Atlantic Ocean’s via the waters of Northern Canada. The tragic deaths of John Franklin’s men of HMS Erebus and Terror are really interesting. Lady Franklin’s Lament(aka Lord Franklin) is another great folk song detailing John Franklin’s expedition narrated through the eyes of a sailor assumed to be involved in search efforts. R.I.P. Stan Rogers and all of those who died in Arctic Expeditions of the 18th and 19th centuries

This is my families tripping song. We going for a nearly 2 hour road trip. Expect to hear this song being sung by one girl and two guys a couple of times. My sister doesn't sing this one much. Little bros are too little to sing it. Big bro and dad sing the solos. And mom sometimes joins in. Over all we love this song and very up lifting on long trips. Very beautiful, in my opinion.

Exceptional, so inspiring, so very happy, knowing Amanda is a hero, saving others on burning plane

One of the most hauntingly beautiful songs I have ever heard. Nice touch at the and as well by adding in Rogers himself :)

"Sayith the lord of hosts, consider thy ways".

Great song

Nice touch at the end showing Stan singing the song. Sadly I live in the city he passed away in but happily this beautiful song will live on. :)

....one warm line.... Beautiful English right there. Great job on the scrolling lyrics and the background footage, thanks for posting!

Beautiful and poinient 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I randomly watched a lesson about all this. Will forever stay educated of this

Faith and heritage

Amen.

fantastic

Beautiful

Love this, well done!

plus is so good!

This is a great lyric vid I love how the words move it's just so much easier to read that way

The Pacific Northwest has so much amazing and forgotten history. The old old days in Washington Oregon and even Alaska there was so much crazy stuff going on it’s mostly online if you do enough research. Love this song tho great job with the vid man!

Good

Please do turnaround. The song from the ending of the 2005 movie "Terry" about a Canadian hero who lost his leg to cancer. And he wanted to raise money for cancer research until thunder Bay Ontario 1980 September 1 the cancer got in his lungs. He died in June 28 1981. Month before his birthday.

Why is Stan Rogers not in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame?

same

Lovely song, innit? Might I suggest also The Real McKenzies version.

Ah.

Gotta put the lyrics up before the words start.

And to think they built the pyramids 12k years ago

This is the worst way to present the lyrics of a song

the chorus is the only good thing. otherwise there are too many "to's"
