I always thought the chorus kinda sucked. It adds nothing to the lyric and suffers from the embarassing phallic ricochet, not to mention the oversinging that has charactertized some of Downie's later work with the Hiop (in start contrast to his wonderfully relaxed solo stuff).
Half a song is better than none, I suppose. Purge the chorus and just play the two verses with some cool instrumental work, you've got a really solid track.
Agree. The oversinging is a real problem on the chorus here. Not to digress, but this is one of the reasons I adore "The Rock" on TDS. It's well within Gord's range yet still melodically beautiful.
My fiancee and I have decided on this for our Wedding song, actually.
It's a song about best friends helping each other. no matter what the situation or the time of day. It's about friends carrying the load to help create something worth living for and something, well, beautiful.
Plus, She's from Niagara Falls....so it works. haha

Hey cool. My wife and I are also Edmontonians originally from the Niagara Falls area. St. Catharines, actually.
