HAPPY CANADA DAY 2020
This thread is to collect and highlight all of the Canadian content that has and will be released for the 2020 National Holiday. For preservation purposes, of course.

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the fourth annual C3 Canada Day Customs Event!
What better way to celebrate in isolation than with new content from some of your favourite C3 authors.

I was hoping to include a new custom by the Sheepdogs “Up In Canada”, instead this will come out later in 2020 as a pack with a single from their side-project BROS.
Thanks to everyone who worked on Canada Day content, and I hope everyone reading this has a happy and safe Canada Day. What better way to celebrate in isolation than with new content from some of your favourite C3 authors.

Keeping the content Canadian since 2017!

MrPrezident: https://db.c3universe.com/songs/all/__user/MrPrezidentI love waking up on Canada Day these days and scrolling through the new releases on the database. So glad to have more 54-40, more Hip (of course), and some Econoline Crush at last. And bravo to everyone else who contributed (Crazy River! Tea Party! Wooooo!). You guys are the best.
Have a good one. Hope we live in a world again soon where I’m allowed to go back north to visit.
Awesome stuff! More Triumph, 54-40, and The Hip! Gotta love it!
I got some more songs for the list! I’ll repost what I wrote on my thread on here:
Rush and Robbie Robertson! A Canadian 2-fer to Celebrate Canada Day! EH?!?
Happy Canada Day everyone! And to celebrate, I wanted to share two customs from our boys up north here! I really enjoy these songs (for very different reasons) and I hope you do too! So let’s get started!

Famous for being a member of “The Band”, this song is one of the more well-known from his solo career.
If I had to describe this song in one word, the word I would use is “sexy”, and while I’m not sure if I can fully explain myself- let me try.
I guess a good place to start with his voice, Robbie Robertson doesn’t do that much actual singing on this track as all the verses are just him talking. Apparently they tried to have him sing the verses but it didn’t turn out too good, lucky for us- the sing is better for it! His voice super smooth during the chorus and the bridge yet during the verses is sounds a bit more harsh, like it has a bit more edge to it. And the lyrical content describes this, verbal-dance i’ll call it, between him and this woman in the song. I can’t quite put my finger on it, and I haven’t dived deep into the meaning behind the lyrics, but there does seem to be some, “sexual tension” lets say.
And this of course is supported by the instrumentation, let’s start with the drums. the use of hit-hat and ride bell, and putting the beat accents not only on the 8th notes (as supposed to the 2 and 4 like in a typical rock/pop song), not all the accents are on the snare. In fact there’s a rotation of snare, low-tom, hi-tom. It’s very creative drumming which helps to build this tension without it getting in the way on the song.
Rounding out the rhythm section is the bass part played by Tony Levin (King Crimson fans might recognize that name). His bass playing is just super smooth, not flashy, it just “slides” right into place exactly where it needs to be, with little flourishes to keep it interesting.
Finally there’s the keyboard part which is mainly a dotted 1/4 note pattern. The dotted pattern works because it makes the song feel a lot slower then it actual is, letting you hear the other instruments and giving it a relaxed feeling.
This song -while not being too challenging- is fun on all instruments, and a song I’m little surprised took so long to be made.

Arguably the most cathartic Rush song… at least in relation to Neil Peart, the song is about that feeling of processing difficult and troubling emotions- Neil described is best with an analogy that went something like:
“When a baby is restless you rock it too sleep, you take it for a drive to calm the baby down”
It’s like the adult version of that. Neil describes it better then I could (I mean he did write the lyrics) and the documentary “Beyond the Lighted Stage” goes into more detail about that aspect of his life. I guess I’ll leave it there.
As with many songs off Vapor Trails, They only played it on the Vapor Trails tour, which is a shame, I really like a lot of those songs from Vapor Trails. Luckily for their R40 Tour they brought back some songs and even played “How It Is”- a song never before played live. Sadly, Ghost Rider wasn’t included, but at least it made it on Rush In Rio!
I want to thank ejthedj for providing me the RPP for the remixed version, which made charting this a whole lot easier! Thank you!
The “Original Mix” amendment doesn’t appear in-game
Saw these last night! Thanks to buster, mrburpler and the prez for these…hope everyone has a decent C-Day. I know there isn’t much you can do with how things are but secretly this helps me to play these songs today otherwise i’d be in trouble if i wanted to try these out and not go outside…
