Vibes week 16 entry /// Cover: The Littlest Hobo theme song Maybe Tomorrow

avatar

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!

Here is my entry on twitter:

Your version is so sweet and tender, it might be the same song but it sounded much better to me, it transmits tranquility and feeling. Beautiful!😍

The original is quite upbeat and boppy, I always prefer the sadder versions lol

I've always liked that vagabond style. It's a beautiful song about living every moment to the fullest. I needed this reminder today.

Thanks for sharing!

So Canada had its own 'Lassie'? ;<)

The Dutch didn't create a show like this but you reminded me of watching (even older) shows, in attics on old TVs. Shows like Lassie and Skippy, back in the ol' days ( of innocence ),
in the 1980s, my childhood.

Nostalgia indeed ❤️

NIce song!
I listened to all 3 versions and enjoyed them all :<)

Sending a hug,

Vincent
