I would like to go to Canada
I have never been there before
All of the traveling that I have done
I don't know what I am looking for

Do you have a friend in New York?
Is she fighting for your art?
There are things I haven't told you
I know it keeps us apart

I am reaching out to you
God is on our side
It is all that you ever talk about
Coming home, home to the other side

You called it sentimentality
You called it intrigue
All of the knowing that I have done
I don't know what you mean

I wanna feel good again
I wanna feel right, right, right
Come on over closer to me
I'm letting you inside

I am lonely for you in Norway
I am lonely for you in Spain
Could you hold me in the darkness?
Would you tell the world my name?

Oh, I am reaching out for something
God is on our side
I wanna feel good again
I wanna feel right, right, right

I would like to go to Canada
I would like to go there with you
All of the loving that I have done
I don't know what I am waiting for

Please don't be doing a Circle of Fifths kind of thing. It will drive us all nuts.

There's something addictive about this song.

Don't know what it is. 

Lyrics are catchy as well as reflective?  Melodics and harmonics are spot on.  Vocals got some punch but not dramatic. 

Or is it that trumpet?

One of the best songs in the world!!, from an unbiased Toronto guy-heaa!. Canada, will always be, just Canada, the true north, strong and FREE. Sorry DT, I know you'd like to take this relationship to the next level. We're flattered, really, but no thanks,..sorry, it's not you, it's us...we can still see each other.\*/

Such a wonderful voice. Her cover of Mazzy Star's "Fade into You" is sublime.

Not sure what exactly happened, but for the last few weeks, everyone I talk to is quoting the opening line of this song.  Seems like it's "going viral".  Whatever that means.

Drums, bass, guitar & sax lay down a tasty groove and let her voice shine. I like.

Definitely there are echoes of Aldous in some of the melody flows, and pronunciation idios.. Agree :)


I always think it's Aldous! I like them both!

I'm hearing some Aldous Harding in here. Is there such a thing as a "New Zealand" sound? Nice tune.

Had to check it wasn’t Aldous Harding…

What a great voice she has! She has the power and yet can restrain the vibrato from going too far... So truly gifted, and bold! Really nice guitar playing, as well. Thanks, RP for the turn-on!

A VAST knowledge of what's out there - both popular and obscure. Or  - and this is more likely - he's a Magician

I see what you mean; to my ears this is a bit more "muscular" and lyrically less wilfully obscure.

Magic?  Hundreds of staff?  Algorithms.?

We will never know.

Very interesting, playing this after Wittgenstein's Arm, where Canada gets discussed in the comments.  Coincidence, or DJ's subtle sense of humor?

A "7" on first listen here - another RP discovery!




German here, and I know Nadia since 2016. I possess  her three albums on CD.  They are easily to get here in Europe. And they got very positive reviews.
Of course such music isn't played on normal German radio stations. As far as I remember she was a spotify discovery. One of many.
