- [on his song 'Big League'] There's metaphors in the song, and references like 'sometimes at night, I can hear the ice crack'. Well, Canadians, if you're from the north and it's late in the spring - getting near playoff time - and the ice starts to melt, you hear the pressure cracks and it's haunting. I get chills when I think of that because it's one my more poignant lines, because it also refers to the change in life, that we're so really tuned into as Canadians. There's this weather out here, but you know the spring's going to come.
