“Sleeping Sickness” by City And Colour with Gord Downie

"Sleeping Sickness" was the second single from Bring Me Your Love, the second City and Colour album, released in 2008, and it brings in a heavyweight guest: Dallas Green shares the vocals with Gord Downie, the Tragically Hip's lead singer. Green wrote it alone and plays acoustic guitar and percussion himself, with David Romano on electric guitar, Daniel Romano adding more percussion and Zander Lamothe sitting in on drums.

It's haunted and unhurried, the kind of song that sounds like it was written at three in the morning. CBC's Hockey Night in Canada chose it for the video tribute that closed the 2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and a decade later, on December 10, 2018, it was certified platinum in Canada.
