Share youtube, songwhip, spotify, bandcamp links, music memes, album art, articles, whatever! But avoid links to directly download music (don't want to get Lemmy.world in trouble). Songwhip links always appreciated!
See this post on recs on how to post!
The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.
We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

The Tragically Hip - Long Time Running
I suppose it was written as some kind of reflection on a relationship, but it's impossible to separate it from Gord Downie's passing now. Highly recommend watching the documentary of the same name if you haven't.
While I never got into Downie or Tragically Hip, it's always heartbreaking when a music artist you love dies - and especially when the music then takes on new meanings.
