Four Strong Winds
"Four Strong Winds" is a song written by Ian Tyson and recorded by Canadian folk duo Ian and Sylvia. Tyson has noted that he composed the song in about 20 minutes in his then manager Albert Grossman's New York apartment in 1962. A significant composition of the early 1960s folk revival, the song is a melancholy reflection on a failing romantic relationship. The singer expresses a desire for a possible reunion in a new place in the future ("You could meet me if I sent you down the fare") but acknowledges the likelihood that the relationship is over ("But our good times are all gone/And I'm bound for moving on ..."). The song has a clear Canadian context and subtext, including an explicit mention of the province Alberta as well as references to long, cold winters. In 2005, CBC Radio One listeners chose this song as the greatest Canadian song of all time on the program '' 50 Tracks: The Canadian Version''. It is considered the unofficial anthem of Alberta.

Live performances Dylan has played the song 363 times live between 1964 and 2013. One of the most notable early performances was at his Halloween, 1964 concert (released on '' The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall'') where he introduced it by saying, "This is about all th ...
