"l found myself a friend, he's crooked as a stick in water", is a great lyric.

This song is more relevant than ever before. Who’s with me✌🏼🤙🏼

This is pure masterpiece

If you haven't heard their version of "Sweet Jane" .... immediately do so.. well, after this song is over!

God I forgot how much I loved this song.

The bass line in this song totally awesome

came to knew this song back in mid 90s when MTV used to play real music. i still love it.

Great cheekbones and a great album. My god she's beautiful!

One of the most beautiful songs of all time.

This song reminds me of my dad. He's been gone for ten years, and I am thankful every day that he exposed me to such brilliant artists at a young age.

Nice video remember 1996 amazing year...! Alanis, Jewel, Tracy Bonham, Garbage, Fiona Apple, Heather Nova, Natalie Merchant, Paula Cole, Sara Mclachlan, Shania Twain, The Corrs, Cardigans... Love them!

It's a strange coincidence this song was getting a lot of radio play in May 1996 when the big flood in Timmins, ON occurred. While not a true disaster, it made quite a mess none the less. This same weather event washed out a bridge near Terrace Bay, ON so all east-west traffic had to go the north route on Highway 11. Another 1990s story.

The bass and guitar working off each other in this one are as good as it gets. While not a fan or gratuitous cursing in songs I always add in my head " I'll get his ass in the end"

Common Disaster sould me on this group - never had heard of them prior to this album. Touched me to the core and aided my healing from life...Vietnam, and other stuff. Only seen them a handful of times, each encouraged me to maintain a healthy balance. Love them.

I first heard Cowboy Junkies with the Trinity Sessions album, bloody awesome!

Margo's voice is sweet as maple syrup and as intoxicating as whisky. Just one more reason to love our neighbors to the north.

Man, I love her voice and intensity. Years now! It is sooo beautiful! Old Soul, most definitely.

Song still holding out so strong after so long.

Moody and dark with a solid groove. Great song

This is my sister and myself's life story. Traumatic childhood. Love it!

Absolutely awesome tune that I enjoyed in the 90s and agree it's timeless.

Timeless classic

That bass!!!

Each time I've seen the Junkies live, people ask me "How was it?" and I think to myself, 'you know how it was'..."It was sublime. Just the best".

a hidden gem of a song

You can't keep a good song down. They always hold their own!

I knew this song for years, and used to hear it now and then. Awhile ago I watched "Six Feet Under" about a decade late, and was delighted to catch a glimpse of the song in an episode. Now I'm here in the video and I find Margo really resembles Brenda! ;)

gives me shivers everytime

DANG, this was an awesome flashback.

What an amazing voice!

wow love this song...underrated group...

One of my favorite songs, sung by the best sounding female vocalist I've ever heard.

My lord. This song is pure fuel for a riveting murder romance script. It's a shame I can't write worth a damn.

Cowboy Junkies are smooth as silk. Margo your voice goes down like a smooth whiskey. Your music just makes me happy.

This is one of my favorite songs on one of my favorite Cowboy Junkies CDs.

Great mood music! Margo Timmins is a great talent!!

A very haunting and underrated CJ song. Love their coolness.

total bliss when this and Sarah mclachlan came out around the same time. love the 90s

This singer is fantastic

Such a great voice Margo

This Song remember me 1996 year , when I listened in the fist time in Mtv Brazil . Magic guitar solo!! Good times never back again!!

Such a great band, Margo, and songs! Totally unique. Never gets old😀😀😀😀

Deserves to be played loud

#1 Best song ever.

My anthem. Sending love to all my Canadian friends.

One of my favorite songs. When much music was cool.

Band never got what it deserved

Perfect mix.

I swear she's the female version of Chris isaac or vice versa idk I love them both!

I remember watching such a great video when I was a teenager. Great musica in the 90🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

That solo is short and oh so twisted, the dissonant undertones pull out and underscore the the song. Genius!!

That was the first song i heard from CJ.....I simply adore them!

Crooked as a stick in water......👌

My theme song for when I'm feeling noir-ish.

Happy 60th Birthday Michael Timmins

To reiterate the comment at the top...THE smoothest voice in music, absolutely fantastic

music in the 90's comes back because it was great original and offers quality something that you will never find in the poor music scene these days...

A common disaster - Life in general.

This song is amazing and Lay It Down is one of my favorite CDs in my collection.

Margo is a TREASURE!

MARGO IS SOOO BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED...THE PERFECT WOMAN!!!! I WILL LOVE HER FOREVER!!!!!

so groovy

Super song and great band in beatyfull women in the voice amaizing I remember 16 years old

A fallen Angel and her great band! Higher Melodies!

wow heavy bass lines

. . . СПАСИБО ! ! ! ЗА ПРОСТЫЕ МОМЕНТЫ РАДОСТИ ! ! ! ЧУДЕСНЫЕ ,,ЭПИЗОДЫ ЖИЗНИ" ! ! ! ОЧЕНЬ - ОЧЕНЬ . . . ! ! ! МУЗЫКАЛЬНЫЕ - КРУЧЕ НЕКУДА ! ! !

Used to listen to this song all the time, but the past week it eluded me and I couldn't remember the song name or the band name. Thank god I figured it out! Love it so much!

The Timmins, especially Margo’s singing👌🏼.. The scene at the end where ‘Dorothy’ is flattened by her house is some dark humor, very CJ..

Ilove this song, video, drums, everything

I'm in love!

Cowboy Junkies are the ONLY greatest thing to come out of Canada don't argue with me just agree with me 😵‍💫

LOVE IT!!!

"Just keep the Caddy movin' till we're well beyond that hill." Yeah

a beatiful voice !

Love this tune :)

This song is frigging awesome!

love this great song.

My fav! x

I like this song, like like like, one of the my favourite !

She and their music reminds me of Mazzy Star

Muito boa essa música. Há bastante tempo eu não ouvia.

SHY WATER.

one of my faves

this song is so healthy.

Shortest guitar solo ever ...and there was so much potential.

beautiful and moving..

Finally found this song! Genial!

A+ music right here. Nothing like it.

A song from 1996 sums up today, I'd say.

I love this song !!!!!!!!! So much !!!!!

I’ve been playing a 12 string for over 50 years. Greg Lake has always been a big inspiration to me, but it still blows my mind that he is playing a eight string bass set up as a 12 string type situation first and only one I’ve ever seen in my life Simply amazing. just for the record, as one of my best memories ever, I was at Cal State jam 74. forever burned in my memory banks, peace, everybody and happy salutations

love it

chirp great tune thank s

Loves dis band!

Thank God for You Tube! You'll never hear this played on the Radio. Great Song from my Youth!

I've gotten to where I can't stand listening to the same, constant audio sewage that gets defecated through the airwaves from today's commercial rock radio stations. I heard this song on 91.7, a public radio station in Dallas. Wow! The singer is like watching Maria Shriver sing. The nice thing about KZfaq is the idea that most that go to a song are fans of that group. That being said, I'm sure anything I would say about this group, it would be agreed with. I'm just glad I found this. Thanks 91.7.

WATER=/MEANS. FIRE.A Common Disaster.

Love!

J'adoreeeeeeeeeeee

We all share that common disaster unless you haven't lived enough.☮️❤️🇺🇸
