STEVEN PAGE, "Canada Loves You Back," 2021

The song that brought a tear to actor Ryan Reynolds' eye is now available for sale. “Whew! What a week it's been! The response to 'Canada Loves You Back,' the song I wrote in honour of Ryan Reynolds for last week's Governor General's Performing Arts Awards has been MUCH bigger than I'd anticipated,” singer Steven Page posted on his Facebook. He added that many people have been asking for the song to be added to Spotify or Apple Music or other streaming services and he raced to oblige. “I decided to donate the streaming and downloading proceeds to Reconciliation Canada, one of the many great charities that Ryan supports,” wrote Page.

THE BEATLES, "Get Back,” 1969

Hardcore Beatles fans are familiar with the many bootleg versions of “Get Back,” and its lyrical evolution, originally addressing the anti-immigration stance of British MP Enoch Powell, as well as similar views in America. In the highly touted new documentary, Get Back, we see Paul McCartney improvising many of these lyrics — including “we don’t need Pakistanis” and “don’t need no Puerto Ricans living in the USA.” Director Peter Jackson flashes the screen with newspaper headlines of the day, and makes it clear "Get Back" was conceived as a protest song, denouncing white nationalism. Buy the single from the album, Let It Be, here. — Karen Bliss
