The band lays down some of its heaviest rock instrumentation on this one, and it spends its entirety hipping listeners to John Cage. The Hip went for softer, more inwardly ruminative alternative rock on Trouble at the Henhouse, and in few places is that more effective than this study of cohabitation. Comments on this story are moderated according to our Submission Guidelines. Just wonderful, the best "weeping guitar" I have hear. It also represents a darker sound than typically appears as a greatest hit.Not all of the songs might be huge crowdpleasers, but the Hip were reaching for something deeper. “Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy,” Ludwig van Beethoven said. Classic Hip song. It describes so many of us so well, I really like this one but it's not my favourite, Good song but: yer not the ocean is better. Don't know why they don't play this live? It sometimes seems to be whichever one I'm listening to at the time. It’s on few tracks that Gord Downie’s regional perspective gets a chance to probe countrywide assimilation with the fiery intent they do here, and that’s a damn shame. The Tragically Hip - Bobcaygeon Capitalizing on the experimentation of World Container, the Hip upped the ante. For the Hip, the first notes on “Little Bones” dispelled any such notion.

We are collecting data to better understand who is looking for work and what kind of opportunities jobseekers are searching for. Prominently featuring some eager studio work, in hindsight, we might be able to attribute this song’s relegation to Can-rock footnote to some manufactured obsolescence – according to hipmuseum.com, Hip guitarist Rob Baker once said that in order to produce the song’s “whale sounds,” he had to compile numerous takes.

Easily the best Hip song of all time. Ahead of their final show, explore this beloved Canadian band’s sprawling catalog. Downie was often a cipher with his lyrics, but the melancholy on the album is always filtered through understanding. I don't know exactly what a "forget-yer-skates dream" is, but I remember grabbing on to that line right away. My favourite song to listen to when sitting by the lake. Box 500 Station A Toronto, ON Canada, M5W 1E6. Trading in the hard-rocking guitar-oriented tracks of their previous albums, for a pop hook, the song is a declaration disguised as an earworm jingle: The Hip could change without losing their identity.

Mainstream fans gave up on relying on the Hip to deliver suitable, reflective anthems for the Canadian experience by the mid-2000s, but here in World Container’s opener we have Downie detailing a familiar Ontario cottage luxury image, all while dealing a humbling message about man’s place in nature. The title track “My Music At Work,” opens the album with the quintessential Hip song: so abstract it’s universal, and undeniably catchy but still hard-rocking. So hard to decide which is actually my favorite! — Brad Frenette, It must be daunting to follow up such a critically successful record as Trouble at the Henhouse, but 1998's Phantom Power continued to deliver some of the Hip's most-loved songs: "Poets," "Bobcaygeon" and "Thompson Girl." Pure Hip. It is a priority for CBC to create a website that is accessible to all Canadians including people with visual, hearing, motor and cognitive challenges. An outstanding beginning...

Kickin beat! With 13 full albums released over the course of over two decades, The Tragically Hip became more than Kingston’s hometown heroes. Trouble at the Henhouse’s closing sequence was inspired by the birth of one of Downie’s children, and it’s a deeply meditative slow burner that rides a faint raga guitar and a lumbering beat into the desert of the mind.
