I'd like you to just try and do what I've done and do everyday!! It takes a fuck load of courage to walk this line... Not for the faint of heart!

Heard this song playing somewhere at the end of "Sweet Hereafter" movie - a surprising upbeat tune for a gloomy flick like that.

The reference to Hugh MacLennan leads to what the song is all about.The third stanza is lifted almost directly from MacLennan's novel, The Watch that Ends the Night: "But that night as I drove back to Montreal I at least discovered this: that there's no simple explanation for anything important any of us do, and that the human tragedy, or the human irony, consists in the necessity of living with the consequences of actions performed under the pressure of compulsions so obscure we do not and cannot understand them."The novel deals with a man who marries his childhood sweetheart (who is in poor health) after her husband is reported killed in the war. The husband's return precipitates a crisis.The song more or less expresses what the novel is all about. Courage couldn't come at a worse time, but also, it didn't come when it was needed. It isn't about living with the consequences of doing something terrible so much as it's about living with the consequences of the ordinary decisions we make, and equally, regretting what we fail to do.
