Love this song, love the video. Love that Gord wears a Gros Morne cap in it, where he and his wife honeymooned. Newfoundland LOVES the Hip ~ any reference to us, visually or lyrically, is a great honour. And seeing them live many times is an honour as well. A national treasure... Just pure brilliance. Das Hip is personally my favourite Canadian band; they'll never get old, their music will never get old. Downie is one of the greatest lyricists Canada has ever produced; Lightfoot, Cohen, Young, Mitchell... And so many others, he's right up there with them. They've done us proud.

""Whispers of disease and acts of enormity" Astonishingly prophetic lyrical prose. Gives me chills whenever I hear Gord "softly whisper" that eerie line.

as a kid growing up in southwestern Ontario during the 90's this group seems to represent Canada to me. I guess the only comparison I can think of would be what Bob Marley is to Jamaica. "I like the Hip because they are a true rock band with great musicial talent with thought-provoking lyrics." well said

Being a Tragically Hip American fan, I agree that our media is so sensationalized. They do whatever it takes to scare people, whether be the war, laws, crime, even the weather! Even the music popular Americans listen to is a joke; emo-rock and thug rap dominate the airwaves, and real rock bands, like the Hip get shunned here because they aren't the trend or because their Canadian. I like the Hip because they are a true rock band with great musicial talent with thought-provoking lyrics.

The Hip headlined the Travelling Road Show in '96 I think at the University of British Columbia stadium. Imagine a mosh pit 14,000-person strong! I remember in an interview Downie said one of his favourite sounds is the cheering/screaming/sighing sound of the crowd as the water cannons hit them. But my favourite memory of this song was popping it on during a three week, six state and 6,000+ km road trip through the Western US, sitting outside a dead lake on a screaming hot, velvet blue sky day. Incomparable. Now that I live in New Zealand they still fit, especially on hot, dry summer days.

The Tragically Hip unapologetically make no sense in their songs. Their songs are really just words and sounds that convey a thematic meaning more than a literal denotation. That's what makes them so awesome and unique.

The Tragic is truely CANADIAN because they stayed with a celibral rock theme. You had to actually think what fuck they were really on about.Guess Who(American Woman),Rush,BTO,Neil Young(now a US citizen),Nelly Fertado & Sarah McLaughlin ALL played to an American audience for the bucks.(Keep it simple, the idiots will buy anything with a melody.) What American would know about the plight of Dav Milgard,the CBC, or the Brandon Wheat Kings? But ask a Canadian soldier in Afghanistan.Different story.
