Newfoundland, or shortened as NFLD, is an island on the east coast of Canada. It’s also where I’m from. We have a very distinct identity and culture both as people who live on an island as well as people who have an insanely distinct dialect/culture. I heard an Irish comedian describe us as an island full of “that weird Irish uncle everyone has”. It’s not totally wrong. Certain songs also heavily trigger the Newfie pride. One of those songs is called Heave Away, often called a Newfie Anthem. There are a couple of others, such as Rant and Roar, but this one gets brought up the most.

This is Heave Away as performed by The Fables, a Newfie Celtic band - https://youtu.be/mlimZYGsT-o

This is Rant and Roar as performed by Great Big Sea, another Newfie Celtic band - https://youtu.be/4KCOTtYPRfY

And then a bonus song of Excursion Around The Bay, a traditional Newfie song, also performed by Great Big Sea. Includes a very short interview about the song too - https://youtu.be/Kqz6mLRYHj4

Both of those songs are VERY indicative of everything about Newfoundland. Music means a lot to us.
