"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."

I Don't Know
The Sheepdogs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A more disturbing word
Holdin' out for long
I never felt so quite disturbed.
I get up in the morning now, I don't know
Waiting for the evening now, I don't know
Been lookin' for whats comin' now, I don't know
Lookin' back at me
There's more than mystery
Letters and pages of
Ancient history, yeah.
I get up in the morning now, I don't know
I've been waiting for the evening now, I don't know
I've been lookin' for whats comin' now, I don't know
Would somebody please, help me.
I don't know, help me.
I don't know, I don't know, help me.
I don't know, help me.
I don't know, I don't know, help me.
I don't know, help me.
I don't know, I don't know, help me.
The Sheepdogs's song I Don't Know is a song that speaks to the uncertainty and confusion that can come with life. The lyrics describe the feeling of being lost and overwhelmed, unsure of what the future holds. There is a sense of longing for something - a feeling of being held back or hindered in some way. This internal turmoil is reflected in the line "Never have I heard a more disturbing word holding out for long, I never felt so quite disturbed."
As the song progresses, there is a sense of desperation in the repeated phrase "Would somebody please, help me." The singer is searching for something, anything that will provide clarity or answers. There is an acknowledgement that there is much more to the world than what we see on the surface, hinted at in the mention of "Letters and pages of ancient history." However, this knowledge only adds to the confusion and uncertainty.
The repeated chorus of "I don't know, help me" speaks to a universal feeling of vulnerability and need for support. The lyrics give voice to the fear, anxiety, and doubt that we all experience at some point in our lives, inviting listeners to share in the experience and hopefully find comfort in the knowledge that they are not alone.

I thought this song came out in the 60's to 70's.
Biggest mistake of my life!
So glad to be living in Niagara Falls NY so I can hear Canadian Songs and bands

Living in Buffalo, NY I am able to access all of southern Ontario's best rock stations. Overall, American radio plays the most popular hits of all time. Canadian radio plays the BEST hits.

I grew up in Albany, NY and like Buffalo, we actually got to hear bands like Tragically Hip and Sloan. Sheepdogs are my favorite Canadian band in years. Love these guys, they are killer live!

They perform something you don't hear much anymore and that is classic rock n' roll.
