This was one of my beautiful sons favourite song from his favourite band. Sadly my son passed away on 12/21/2020 from the same brain tumour that Gordie passed away from. Glioblastoma, a horrible brain tumour. I cry every time I hear this song as well as a couple of their songs. My sweet Mattie, I love you pieces and pieces, bunches and bunches and to the moon and back. I look forward in seeing you again one day my precious son.

Music is a powerful tool to help us cope with many emotions. It has the ability to bring you back to a time and place that will evoke many memories. I hope you find peace in this song and even though tears may fall, let them be good tears and know that you will always have a connection in this life and the next with this beautiful song. Much love to you and your son Mattie, he will always live on in your heart and thoughts.

I went out on my deck, blasted this song, lit up a smoke, cracked a beer, and did nothing but relax to the memories we shared. She recently survived her cancer, and is here next to me as I type this :) I love you, Mom!

It’s six years tonight, since our great loss 🌹🌟🌹. Tonight is a month since I boarded a plane, going to see an Old BF after 20 years in Halifax. Gord was on my mind, when I walked in front of the last place he performed in public as a solo artist. I could almost feel Gord there! A crowd was gathering for a soccer game. On a beautiful Sept night. A unique voice and a gifted wordsmith dropping words, woven with golden thread is how I chose to remember Gord. TH the sound track while at university in 1989. UP To Here my first Album. I’ve lit a candle 🕯️ in remembrance tonight 🔥.

I had the pleasure of meeting Gord Downie a couple of times. Being a Kingstonian, that's not an unusual statement. I've met all of the members of The Hip at one time or another. Their final concert was broadcast on CBC live, so we all got to watch it in our backyards, since all the tickets were grabbed by scalpers. It was the biggest backyard party ever. You could hear it being played in every direction. It's a memory I will cherish forever. Gord was a musician-poet like no one else we've ever seen. I feel incredibly lucky to have shared this world with him.

Oh, this song makes me cry, every damned time. It's so beautiful. Wow. My nephew had a brain tumour at the age of three, this song killed me. But luckily and without prayer, my nephew is alive and well at the age of 30. It was 1993 when he went into an 18 hour surgery. I collapsed onto a bathroom floor at the children's hospital when the surgeon came out and told us he was going to be fine. The tumour was as big as a tangerine and had tentacles that went into my nephew's brain. I had held it together for so long that when the good news came, I just crumbled into a completely hysterical mess. I could NOT stop crying. Even on the drive home. And this song kept playing in my head. All the other little dolls who had tumours at the same time, died. They were all darling and so alive and then, gone. This tells you about the merriment of the mythical "Fiddler's Green," supposedly a lovely place for sailors to go when they die. kzitem.info/news/bejne/lY-azZ97iKhjfJw

Incredible he had the courage to sing a song which sat idle from the Hips playlist for many years due it's sensitive subject. A fine tribute to Downie's five year old nephew who died from a heart condition, yet a song which mirrors the grief of anyone who's lost someone, particularly a mother. That is the power of beautiful and brilliant writing. And now, playing it on his final tour makes this song even more poignant.

The Hip has been the soundtrack to my life. Having a cottage in Buckhorn (10 mins from Bobcaygeon) the summers with my family and friends. Remember playing Trouble at The Henhouse on repeat as a kid. I can't even listen to Ahead by a Century anymore as the nostalgia physically hurts. Not to get to personal but I even got laid for the first time while 700 foot ceiling was playing in the background. I never ever cry. Last time I cried was when my dog died when I was a young child, nearly 20 years ago. Gotta admit this news about Gord is affecting me more than I would have ever imagined. Listening to this and It's a good life if you don't weaken has moved me to tears. As a big burly man tearing up over a rock stars illness is something I never thought I would do. Gord is one of the few rock stars left that is able to make music that connects on such a deep level, and for this I will owe and thank The Hip forever. I was able to get only 1 ticket to Kingston, and I can't wait to have one final time with a band that has been the soundtrack of my life. When Gord passes I really hope he gets a State funeral, if of course his family would be okay with that. I can't think of a more eminent and deserving Canadian icon.

Dunno if this nostalgic bond applies to Canadians of all ages, or just our generation coming up in the 90s. I moved to the US in 95, and lost touch with Canadian Music. The Hip have always represented a strong connection I have with Canada. Something unique that nobody south of the 49th can understand, or really even knows about. For me, The Hip isn't just a great band, one of my favorites of all-time, it's far more emotional. For Patrice, it obviously connects you to your youth, and that nostalgia. For me, I have that, but it also connects me to Canada. Yeah, it's very emotional.

I think the Hip applies to all ages. For sure our generation growing up with them but young people can relate to the Canadian references in the songs. Hip music are lessons in Canadian history! Young kids are more into hip hop, rap etc but those that really know good music will know and appreciate The Hip. My 18 year old niece went with me and loved it.

Rest easy on fiddler's green gord, this song has touched people from all around the globe. Reading the comments on this has me welling up, thinking on those i've lost and hope to see again on that green field. Such an amazing song.

Anyone who has lost a loved one, especially suddenly, will relate to this song. I too understand and share the pain. I have a younger adult brother in Fiddler's Green (ie, heaven), as well as a miscarried sibling and a twin sister who died a few hours after we were prematurely born.

Going through a rough patch in college, missing home, friends back home, struggles with alcohol and drug abuse- I put this on repeat and it helped through the night and lived to see many more days- that was 20 years ago. This song alone makes me smile, cry and remember. That’s a full day in 4 minutes and 31 seconds. I’m not sure if there is/was another band that accomplish that. Gone but never forgotten. May God hold you in the palm of his hand and the wind may always be at your back.

Years of memory after memory watching this band that I love. Watching them for the last time I was so grateful..and felt at the same time a door in my own life was gently closing. I wish you light Gord. ..and if love from all of us could save you - you would live 500 years. Farewell Hip... you are woven in the fabric of our lives ... Thank you 💗

I live just up the road from a place called Fiddlers Green by Ancaster Ontario, so this song, although the reference is to the Celtic sailor's afterlife, holds special 'Canadian' geographical meaning to me. RIP Gord Downie, I will always have your music in my library. Thanks for everything.

You can tell by the lack of any antics by Gordo how much respect he has for this song. And, BTW, Robby plays this so nice.
