It is October 16. Five years ago today, Gord Downie’s final solo album — Away Is Mine — was released. It’s a double album: ten songs in electric form, ten more in acoustic. It’s the last time Gord ever sang into a mic.
Tonight, we re-release the Away Is Mine episode of Discovering Downie. We walk those songs again. This is a record born of love, mortality, and farewell.
During four days in July 2017, Gord and Josh Finlayson went into The Bathouse studio in Ontario and captured these final songs, knowing time was short.
They weren’t trying to make an album — they were trying to make a moment.
