This updated interpretation of the classic track pays tribute to the original while aligning with a major moment in Canadian sport through Soccer Canada initiatives.
This reimagined version features Dallas Green of City and Colour alongside Ruby Waters, adding new vocal layers to the well-known Canadian classic. Their performances introduce a different tonal dynamic while maintaining the recognizable structure and lyrical identity of the original song, first released in 1996.
The release also connects with the growing visibility of soccer in Canada. By aligning the track with Soccer Canada, the project reflects a broader cultural moment where music and sport intersect.
The reimagined “Ahead by a Century” is now available across major streaming platforms.
