One reason why I made this a blog about songs is that there are those bands that have one song that I like so much more than the rest of their oeuvre. The Innocence Mission is such a band. Sure, their indie folk is very pleasant to listen to — indie folk usually is — but Lakes of Canada (a song from 1999) is such a beautiful song that the rest of the band’s oeuvre doesn’t seem to matter. And because I recently found the song stuck in my head — you can guess why — I wanted to share it with you all.
