The theme of this weeks Vibes competition is ROOTS and it was suggested to choose a song from your childhood, the first song you learned/wrote etc. I thought a lot about which song could be appropriate for this and ended up settling on a cover of The Littlest Hobo theme song.
This was a show that aired in Canada when I was a child (ran from 1979-1985). It's about a hobo dog that goes from town to town helping people. The theme song always gives me nostalgic feels when I hear it 😢 A few years ago I came across a cover made by Nightingale Cummings (who is from my province of NS) that was used in an episode of Trailer Park Boys (also from my province) so I feel like this fits the ROOTS theme on multiple levels. It was a bit of a sadder version but very pretty so I based my cover on this one!
