MODERATORS
First off, welcome to all the new users these past few days! Please take a look at our recent welcome thread with some guides and tips that will help you get settled in:
https://lemmy.ca/post/39167034
This is the nomination thread for which song(s) we will submit to Lemmyvision 2! Please comment your nominations in this thread for them to be considered. This post will be pinned to the instance briefly, but you can continue nominating songs until March 25th (2025). You will be able to find this post in !canada@lemmy.ca
What is lemmyvision
Lemmyvision is inspired from Eureddision (itself a reenactment of the Eurovision song contest) which was held on r/europe some years ago, and based on the participation of national communities / instances and the delicate musical taste of their members (you!).
Every country/community is welcome to participate! The contest follows the rule of “national languages only” but regional languages are welcome too, if your community would like to feature a song in a regional language of your country, that’s awesome. The aim is to promote different languages and cultures from around the world, to share more between our online communities across Lemmy, and discover songs from lesser known artists.
What is lemmy.ca doing
Specific to Canada, here is what the organizer has said:
You’re invited to participate by sending a song in any official or regional language / dialect from Canada !
Given the multilingual aspect of your country, I’m open to multiple submissions (one for each language you’d like to represent, so Inuktitut, French Canadian, any First Nations languages are welcome) from lemmy.ca, just mention which language is linked to which submission 🤗
As such, please do the following:
- Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2024).
- Songs must not be international hits (see the 'Full rules and details' link below for more context)
- Nominate each song as a separate comment under this post. If the song contains vocals, it must be one of the 'Canadian languages' as outlined above, and you must specify which language you are nominating it under
Please nominate the songs by March 25th (2025).
I set a reminder to post a voting thread on March 25th. If I am late on that (like last year), please let one of the admins know and we will get on that. That should give us a week before the submission deadline to pick from our list of nomations.

If you have a helpful resource, such as a compilation of Canadian artists in the past year, let me know and I can edit it into this post:
I looked back at all the new songs I added to my favourites in Spotify during 2024, and found surprisingly few songs by Canadian artists. Only one, in fact. I don't think this one song is particularly great material for a popularity contest, but I'll throw it in anyhow:
Low Tide by Deer Fang (St. Catherines, ON), released in 11 October 2024 in English.
The first few months of 2025 have been way more fertile, so I have three more nominations in the posts to follow (would be four, but I'm assuming that something from Our Lady Peace's newest album wouldn't count).
Quviasukkuvit (If It Makes You Happy) - Inuktitut - Sep 10 2024
Elisapie (ᐃᓕᓴᐱ) - Canadian Inuk musician
Give in to you - English - Sep 13 2024

- Rezz (Isabelle Rezazadeh), Ukrainian–Canadian DJ and record producer from Niagara Falls, Ontario
- Virtual Riot - German DJ and electronic music producer
- One True God - not sure
Billie du Page - Fake Friends (English) https://youtu.be/1vN7prrtDNg
There's apparently a French version? I haven't heard it but if its same lyrics then sure add both!
Edit: version en français https://youtu.be/7gjeVsxETCI
✔️ confirmed for the english list
✔️ confirmé pour la liste française
This album just came out and I can not find it anywhere but their website atm:
Canadian Famous by The Arrogant Worms https://arrogantworms1.bandcamp.com/track/canadian-famous-2
New Arrogant Worms!
Yes,it's awesome! My introduction to them was their Carrot Juice is Murder song.
✔️ confirmed for the English list
Dang, I'd swear they are riffing on Buck 65.
✔️ confirmed for the English list
Video is dated Mar 10, 2023
Edit: Wiki says the album was 'released' on February 16, 2024 despite all the videos being out a year prior, so maybe it still counts?
Yup, there's a discussion in the main rules post talking about the different dates. I imagine the organizer will understand if there is some discrepancy
Discogs lists 2024 and MusicBrainz lists 2024-02-16, so I'll add it to the list

Liminal Shroud is my best friend's band and they are fucking great. Reviving metal here in Victoria. I have done a bunch of their photography and videography and am very proud to be involved in the project.
✔️ confirmed for the English list

The list of 2025 Juno nominees would probably be a good (but imperfect) place to start.
✔️ confirmed for the English list
Dan Mangan - Call Me Up High (English)
I got to hear the song live before it's official release at Red Bird Brewing in Kelowna, a cool little venue.
Dan Mangan has been a BC fixture for years, but I think he's been Canadian successful back east as well. At least he's played Massey Hall and gets coverage on CBC and plays at the Polaris awards. Still, the "international hits" rules sounds a bit squishy, and Dan is only Canadian famous.
Bonus Dan Mangan, Robots live, at Granville Island.
Thanks for all the links, I appreciate it :)
✔️ confirmed for the English list
Thanks!
✔️ confirmed for the English list
French Canada you say?
I'll suggest Ring Ring by P'tit Belliveau off his self-titled album dropped last year.
P'tit Belliveau is an Acadian from Nova Scotia, and has quickly risen to the top of the French Canadian music scene these past few years after seeing initial popularity from his early hit "Mon drapeau acadjonne vient d'Taiwan".
Woohoo Acadian French mentioned! \o/
Honnêtement, l'Acadie est forte en maudit en matière de musique. Tellement de great artistes de par ici, surtout considérant la grandeur de la population!
Colter Wall....plain to see plainsman
Unfortunately the contest rules require our submission to have been released after 2024-01-01, but I’ll include this in our large playlist at the end :)
