The Trinity Session is perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane". Reed reportedly liked the Junkies' version of the song better than his own, and began performing their version in concert.
None of the band's subsequent albums have been hits outside of Canada, although the band has maintained a dedicated following and have continued to have chart hits in their native country. Following their 1998 album Miles from Our Home, Cowboy Junkies were dropped from their major label contract. They have continued to release albums on their own independent label, Latent Records.
Dreaming My Dreams With You
Cowboy Junkies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way that it is in my mind
I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore
And maybe to have learned this time
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
But I won't let it change me, not if I can
I'd rather believe in love
And give it away as much as I can
To those that I am fondest of
Someday I'll get over you
I'll live to see it all through
But I'll always miss
Dreaming my dreams with you
Someday I'll get over you
I'll miss dreaming with you
Someday I'll get over you
I'll miss dreaming with you
Someday

Aside from the writers, Big Little Lies need to give their sound department a raise. Almost every episode has an amazing soundtrack.
@portiajerich6167
Minhal Faiz omg yes!! I’ve watched episodes over and over just for the music and scenery!
@soccerguy325
There's really only one writer, and he's the head of the entire thing.

I too am here from Big Little Lies like many of you but actually bought the CD in 1988 when I was 20 and it first came out. It helped me through some rough times.
