Orono Park - The Wilderness of Manitoba
This song reminds me of a day I had once years ago. We were driving down long roads in Bucks County, PA leaf watching. Yes, there is such a thing. It’s actually a commonplace thing during the Fall in PA. It was probably the most perfect day I ever had with a person who didn’t mean much to me, but I’m glad I had that day and I’m glad this song reminds me of it.
The Wildnerness of Manitoba is in fact a folk group from Canada and their power comes from their voices. It’s driven more by vocals than by any other instrument in the band and why not? Voices are more powerful than any other instrument out there. They play on my penchant for wistful Fall days like above and give another good argument to why folk ensembles are not a dying trend.
I’m going to avoid denial that Summer is slipping away. We all know Fall is around the corner and although I’ll miss naps in the pool, I can’t wait til I can spend another Fall day with an unimportant person making important memories with a good solid soundtrack like this playing in the background.
