Simple :: K.D. Lang :: Hymns of the 49th Parallel

+

Flawless light in a darkening air alone and shining there Love will not elude you, love is simple I worship this tenacity and the beautiful struggle we're in Love will not elude us, love is simple Be sure to know that all in love is ours That love is a philosophy, is simple I am calm in oblivion, calm as I ever have been Love will not elude me, love is simple Be sure to know that all in love is ours, is ours That all in love is ours That love is a philosophy, is simple And ours

[gregorygalloway]

k.d. lang's 9th studio album was released on 27 July 2004.

Featuring songs by Canadian artists such as Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Ron Sexsmith, and Neil Young (as well as a re-recorded version of lang's "Simple"), Hymns of the 49th Parallel, was (not surprisingly) a big success in Canada (peaking at #2) and peaked at #37 in the US.

I’m gay because when I was nine I made my mom play k.d lang’s Hymns of the 49th Parallel album on repeat every time we got in the car.

Listening to the best album ever if anyone cares

[tellthemeerkatsitsfine]

It's been a long and difficult week, but I have finally made it to February 22nd. The day that I can get on a train - I fucking love trains - and go to Montreal, and see Nish Kumar live. I actually barely slept last night due to sudden and unexpected significant anxiety, which I'm assuming was just my brain coming to terms with the fact that I'm going to be in a place where these comedians I'm obsessed with, who exist in sound waves and pixels, will actually be in 3D and displacing air and things like that. I say "comedians" because apparently Amy Annette opened for him in Toronto last night. I knew she had family in Canada, I've heard her talk about it several times, and Nish has mentioned it on The Bugle (specifically recently, mentioning that his girlfriend's family lives in the 51st state). I'm not sure if she's with him for the entire tour or not, but that would be a great bonus, if I get to see her too.

Amy Annette is a fantastic compere, and when she brings an act out, she picks someone in the crowd and asks them who their teenage musician crush was, that when they were in a teenager they'd go to their show in the hopes of having sex with the band. So I need to be prepared, right? kd lang. Possibly Melissa Etheridge. Maybe Tegan and Sara. But no, kd lang's number one. So don't worry everyone, I'm ready for any question I might get asked. As long as that question is "What musician did you want to fuck as a teenager?" (Obligatory note: kd lang's album Hymns of the 49th Parallel I believe is literally one of the top ten greatest albums ever made by anyone in any genre, I do not wish to reduce her to being only someone I wanted to fuck.)

I'm still wildly disproportionately anxious, but it's probably good for the anxiety to hit me last night/this morning, rather than all at once when the show starts. The train will probably calm me down. I fucking love trains. It's about a two-hour ride to Montreal.

I got an early train in, that gets me there a bit after noon, because I have an old friend in Montreal. He and I used to be very close, we were roommates for a few years in my early twenties. But I'd not seen him since about 2016, when he moved away. I saw him for the first time in eight years last July, at the bachelor party for another old friend of ours. We reconnected and I immediately remembered why I used to get along so well with this guy. He and I used to be bond over being the only two people with nerdy interests, in our group of mostly straight male jock friends. Some exceptions - the bachelor party was for our very non-straight male friend to marry his husband. Though when said gay friend first came out, everyone joked that they'd assumed it would be our other friend - the one who lives in Montreal now - who'd come out as gay instead. Because it was 2009, and the fact that that guy sometimes wrote poetry meant he was probably gay (see Amy Annette's comedy material for how weird people were about gender and sexuality in 2009, it was a hell of a time). Anyway. I used to bond with the guy who recently married his husband over being the only two gay people we knew, and I used to bond with the guy who now lives in Montreal over being the only two vaguely nerdy people in the group, in that he liked to read comic books and write poetry, and so did I. He actually got me into a lot of the stuff I'm still into. When we lived together, he kept his huge comic book collection in the living room and let me borrow from it, that's when I got really into things like Alan Moore and The Sandman (the latter of which has been deeply tainted by recent revelations, but as Nish Kumar says, just because you danced to Billie Jean at a wedding doesn't make you complicit in... nope, I agree with his point but the Gaiman stuff's too raw for that, I had to skip my yearly reread of the Sandman books that I bought off my friend years ago when he sold most of his stuff to move to Montreal).

Anyway. Anyway. The point is that I'd not seen this guy in years, I saw him last July at our friend's bachelor party, then I saw him in October at our friend's wedding, he was great to have around at that wedding because he and I were both uncomfortable with the large fancy social situation so we kept sneaking outside to take breaks, got back in touch, and now I'm going to his city early to hang out with him and crashing at his place after the show so I can get a train home tomorrow. Instead of having to borrow my parents' car and come back tonight. This is much better. I love trains. The train ride will probably make me less anxious. I hope so. I'm very excited, but for some reason my central nervous system is currently under the impression that I'm being hunted for sport. It's probably fine.

It was 20 years ago today: k.d. lang's Nonesuch debut album, Hymns of the 49th Parallel, was released. This highly personal “Canadian Songbook” is a lushly orchestrated, gorgeously sung contemplation of work by Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Jane Siberry, Bruce Cockburn, and Ron Sexsmith—"an album of triumphant Canadian soul music," per the Washington Post. You can hear it here.

K.D. Lang :: Hymns of the 49th Parallel : The Valley

[cohendyke]

1, 31, 33!!

thank you sid <333

1- comfort characters

ough… there are so many… kendall roy (i know..) kyle and stan from south park, ellie (i’m not going to lie she’s based on me basically. not only name and lesbianism but i have an uncle named joel) dina, and joel from the last of us, edward little from the terror, ivan and alyosha karamazov from the brothers karamazov all of the trailer park boys, elaine benes and george costanza, louis ironson, prior walter, and harper pitt from angels in america, sansa stark, lexi from euphoria. those are the main ones.. there are probably more though <3

31- music you find grounding?

ohh. this is going to turn into music recs in general because i am listening to music 24/7… i’m gonna list artists and best albums/songs that help me relax <3

george harrison my #1 fave ever… best calming/grounding albums: all things must pass, living in the material world, self titled, 33&1/3! also the songs long long long, here comes the sun, something from when the beatles were together…

i've been listening to a lot of leonard cohen lately.. he literally did have such a way with words it's actually insane... my fave albums are songs from a room, songs of leonard cohen, i'm your man, and songs of love and hate. hallelujah, anthem, take this waltz, dance me to the end of love are also some songs i find relaxing..

i've also gotten back into k.d. lang recently.. always been a fan because her voice and my mum has taste but she’s just soo. well. u know... anyway my fave albums of hers to put on and zone out to are shadowland (top five albums ever to me...), drag, ingenue, and hymns of the 49th parallel (makes me sooo homesick.) not to keep talking about it all the time but her hallelujah from the 2010 olympics is the best ever like. wow woman amazing also related.. case/lang/veirs is a gorgeous folk album... ok time for this dyke to shut up

simon and garfunkel. literally my gay uncles. love bridge over troubled water and parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, and sounds of silence. love mrs robinson and save the life of my child too.

that's probably it! or at least as far as im going to go in this post to save everyones dashes from an insanely long post... anyway.

33- last adventure you went on!

hm! two weeks ago i took the bus around my city by myself to go thrifting and stuff, actually the first time i took the bus since i came to university. another one was in november when i went to vancouver to present research all by myself and then ended up going all the way to nova scotia, again by myself. highly recommend traveling by yourself whether to thrift in your city or go back to the motherland because it is actually so healing <3

thanks again sid <3333

send me random asks!

[oldbaton]

I don’t blog about her enough but KD Lang is the most transformative singer I have seen live in a concert setting you have no clue.

I don’t think I have a favorite album truly but I do like to have an answer when people ask me so I say Hymns of the 49th Parallel

“Bird on the Wire”

Original by Leonard Cohen

Covered by k.d. lang

[nonesuchrecords]

“Probably one of the greatest singers of all time in my opinion, k.d. lang," Elton John exclaims on his Apple Music show Rocket Hour. He closes the new all-Canadian episode with lang's inimitable take on Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." "Definitely one of the greatest vocals, and one of the greatest songs. It’s taken from Hymns of the 49th Parallel, and if you don't have that album, it’s as good an album to get as [Joni Mitchell’s] Blue if you want to hear great Canadian songs." You can hear the episode here.
