Canada's Band: The Tragically Hip

No band is more intertwined with Canadian identity than The Tragically Hip. For over 30 years, Gord Downie's lyrics served as a national poetry, referencing everything from hockey history ('Fifty Mission Cap') to small-town Ontario ('Bobcaygeon'). With 17 Juno Awards, their music is a permanent fixture on the Canadian cultural landscape. #Canada #TheHip #TragicallyHip #GordDownie 🇨🇦

Episode two hundred and seventy-nine is up now! Today's song is Wheat Kings by The Tragically Hip.

I discuss the heartbreaking true story of David Milgaard that inspired the song, and try not to cry again during a Tragically Hip episode.

Episode two hundred and sixty-one is up now! Today's song is Fireworks by The Tragically Hip.

I discuss the song's contrast of a loving relationship with the pop culture and world news of the times, and how it's all spun up in a fun rock tune.

Episode two hundred and two is up now! Today's song is Bobcaygeon by The Tragically Hip.

I discuss the complex story and imagery in the lyrics, and the small town that gave its name to this big song.

A post on Facebook reminded me that it's been 7 years and two days since Gord Downie, the lead singer for The Tragically Hip, died. So it is appropriate that today's blog post is about one of their best albums.

On Amazon right now: The Tragically Hip: No Dress Rehearsal.

If you're Canadian this is mandatory viewing. 🇨🇦

I heard someone say once: "Canada gave the world Rush, but we kept the Tragically Hip for ourselves"

I have never had a greater emotional connection with music than I do with the Tragically Hip's. So much so that I can't bear to listen to Fidlers Green.

#TheHip

I miss Gord Downie. This is going to be a great documentary, I hope.

Episode one hundred(!!!) is up now! Today's song is Ahead By A Century by The Tragically Hip.

I discuss the final tour and concert of the band where they ended with this song, and spend more time talking about the late great Gord Downie than the song itself.

It's a #CanCon start to my listening today, with #TheHip's 1994 album "Day for Night". This is the first #TragicallyHip album I've bought on vinyl, mostly because they're usually horribly expensive these days for new pressings (I don't begrudge the band making money, but I'm never keen on spending $60-70 on just one album).

Anyway - great stuff on this one - "Grace Too", "Nautical Disaster" et al 🇨🇦 #NowPlaying

I should really get this printed to canvas. Every time it pops up in my timeline it gives me the same feeling as when it happened.
