Today’s challenge invites us to share a song that makes us think about life. There’s a lot of great songs that make one introspective and philosphical, especially in the singer-songwriter canon. For today’s entry, here’s a song that directly addresses modern life in a way that is both humourous but also profound. Here’s Baltimore’s We’re About 9, with their song “Live With This”

This always gets me pondering family, and life, and love, and all those other big questions that too often get lost in the day to day shuffle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjnHMB71Qis

And also “Still Haven’t Found” and “Where the Streets Have No Name”. A meddly of these three U2 songs.

Another Canadian artist that few people on this side of the border have heard of.

I may have already used this one here, but it makes me think about the fragility of life. It’s based on a true story, written from the POV of Dodge, who @6 years after the fire was dying from Lou Gehrig’s disease. https://youtu.be/42X1rB4EBF8

Love this song. I’ve heard Shindell do it live a couple of times. (I’ve yet to see James Keelaghan, who wrote it, live. Bucket list.)
