  2. I’ve heard these songs first time but they are really good.
    Among them, I prefer first song.
    Because it is fun and it is exciting.
    I love it. So I shared to my facebook to show my Korean friend!!
    If I buy a laptop, I will search Canada songs.
    It is really interesting.

  3. I like K-OS's music. The reason why is similar with Korean music. In this group's music, there are strong drum sounds and beats and Korean music too! Some parts are different from ours,for example, there are beautiful or handsome young idols who pretend to look like a princess or prince in Korean music video. But, K-OS music sounds like much more tough and unique,especially when the end of the song singer goes to the door though to space. I cant understand.:D. Secondly I like 'one great city' song. He sings a song that he doesn't like Winnipeg.Thanks!

  4. I liked the music One Great City, from The Weakerthans band. Because I like to hear normally calm musics, I prefer to hear stirred musics when I'm at the night clubs, partys or PUB's.

  5. The first music is the best! It makes me wanna dance and I think it is the tenth time I heard it, hahaha! By the way, they usually smoke something before doing a video clip? Hahaha, I am just kidding! :P
    Well, this music doesn't remind me Brazilian's song. Actually, it reminds me a song called "California Here We Come" (I don't remember who sings it), principally in the chorus.

  6. My favorite song is the first one(K-os, I wish I knew Natalie Portman). This is a type of music(rap-hip-hop)i like. The instrumental and the singers are pleasing. It reminds me goods moments of my life. But I like the song One Great City too. Hearing this in the bus or lying on the grass is awesome.

  9. Despite it was the first time that i heard these songs, i liked almost of all. I can't stand the last one "Romantic Lights" because i think it's a terrible rock if we compare it with Foo Fighters, ACDC or Nirvana. The song i like most is "Locked in the Truck", it remembers me something from REM or Eddie Vedder, it's quiet but with character. The first one is also good but i prefer original songs: this is too similar to "California here we are" especially in the chorus.

  10. I prefer the first one, it is similar to the music which I also hear in Europe , I don't think that there is a deeper sense which gonna change the world, it is good music but but not more .

  11. "The Weakerthans - One Great City" I like this song the most because of it's mischievous rhythm . I wass totally attracted by this song . The guitar accompany sound somehow just my type . Maybe I should heard some more Canadian musics .

  12. Every musics are not impressing for me... But I like Locked In The Trunk Of A Car. When I heared this song, I feel calm and humble. And I like that music video. But little boring.. All these songs are very different from Korean songs. Thesedays Korean songs are almost idols' song. It's terrible. They are made by over than five Justin biebers.. Anyway, I am happy to exprience new Canadian musics.

  14. I was not able to find good songs for me, but I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman's lyric has "kimono" which is a Japanese traditional cloths. Therefore, the song reminded my country.
    Thank you for let us know Canadian music.
