True North Stories: Songs from across the 49th Parallel – Pt II

Last week, we set off across the 49th Parallel to mark Canada Day with songs that span rocky Atlantic shores to neon-lit alleyways in Toronto. But two hours was never going to be enough. So we’re back – mining deeper into Canada’s musical hills.

Canadian music doesn’t follow trends songs; they’re emotional landmarks, shaped by wilderness, migration, protest, and perseverance.

This isn’t the soundtrack of America’s upstairs neighbour—it’s the voice of a country that moves to its own beat. So let’s head north again, and let the songs lead the way.

Dreaming out Loud

Musicians are dreamers. So it’s hardly surprising that songs about dreams represent a rich seam of music for today’s show.  They tap into the human experience, awaken emotions, and are a metaphor for hope, aspiration and an odd bit of romance.

Dreams are a mirror, a canvas, and a looking glass in popular music. They allow artists to express deep emotional truths, social commentary, or pure fantasy in a way that audiences instantly “feel,” even if they don’t fully understand.
