“Away Is Mine” is Gord Downie’s final solo album and a very personal introspection on his life at the very end. Each of the songs from “Away Is Mine” were carefully paired with 10 individual artists to create a unique music video series. The diverse group of creatives range from emerging new talent to pioneers in the industry and represents a vision of Canada that Gord wished for, one that is inclusive of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ voices.
