Just realized I started this #CanCon thread exactly a year ago! (The numbers don't add up because I paused in November for #LyricsPrompt.)
Canadian music is fucking amazing, y'all. I've found some absolute bangers doing this that I now consistently revisit.
Strongly encourage exploring upthread!
Oooh, I'm pretty sure this was the song I was listening to when I first added "medicine" to my list of possible #LyricsPrompt prompts.
Sam Roberts Band, "Roll with the Spirits" #CanCon ๐จ๐ฆ

Day 30: Everything #LyricsPrompt #LyricsPrompt2025
Little bit late to the party , but nevertheless:
โJust because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends areโ
Regina Spektor, The Call

Am suffering from #LyricsPrompt withdrawal too! lol
This year, I endeavored to answer all prompts in @ivacheung.com's delightful annual November #LyricsPrompt challenge with a Tom Lehrerโauthored or inspired song.

RIP, Tom, and thank you for years of joy.

And thank you, Iva, for hosting again!
It's December 1 and, as has been the case for a few years now, I have a distinct #LyricsPrompt shaped hole in my life. ๐
#LyricsPrompt was one of the only things keeping me from losing my shit in what was one of the worst Novembers I've had. Thanks so much to everyone who participated ๐
Waking up on December 1 and realizing #LyricsPrompt2025 is over. @ivacheung.com, the genius you are. Sigh. #LyricsPrompt
I always feel a little lost the first day after #LyricsPrompt ends. So here's the playlist of all the songs I offered in November. It's... eclectic. Chaotic. But there's a subtle coherence to it.

Day 30:
Manic Street Preachers
"Everything must go"
Thanks for hosting!!

I'm doing a sneaky second for the last day - ladies and gentlemen, singing us out with some gospel, the King himself ELVIS PRESLEY sings 'He is my Everything'
Thank you so much Iva for doing this again, despite your loss & everything โค๏ธโ๐ฉนโฆ I love #lyricsPrompt November and always feel a bit bereft on Dec 1 โฆ I know the #artAdvent stuff starts, which is great to admire and repost, but I dont PARTICIPATE with my own, you know? Anyway, ๐๐๐ Iva!
Ah, that reminds me of Danny's Song.

Day 30: Everything #LyricsPrompt #LyricsPrompt2025
Michelle Branch, "Everywhere"
Big fan of the yell-sing "EV-REE-where to MEEE" chorus
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
