This song, released shortly after the Equal Rights Amendment was presented to USA states for ratification in 1972, seemed very poignant and insightful.

Neil said that he wrote this song beginning with the premise, "what if trees behaved like people?"

I always thought it was more about America vs Canada than Quebec and the rest of Canada. Canadians being the maples that are happy in the shade of the American Oaks.

I like to listen to this song in the summertime and pretend that there is nothing political or anything about it and it is just a happy little tune about actual maples and oaks and their actual difficulties in the actual forest. It's much more fun that way.

My mate Darryl says: - The Trees. What a metaphor, eh! It really takes cojones, I think, to come up with a song which is simultaneously anti-union, pro-Commonwealth and therefore pro-monarchy, and anti-Parti Quebecois. Maples v Oaks! They should make it the Canadian national anthem! and I think it's right-wing toss!
