A micro-tribute to a huge-sounding song. While tackling this challenge I decided to try taking everything that was large and "rock"-signifying and transform it into a tinier, cuter more Casio-sounding version of itself. The song already has pretty chord changes, but when you remove the guitars from a guitar-based song and replace them with keyboards, they almost sound like the chord changes from a hymn. I was a big fan of the original in '96 (and of the One Chord To Another album generally!) so it was my pleasure getting the opportunity to cover this song. Viva Canada, Viva Halifax, Viva Sloan!
