life is never quite the same once you discover the 'Hip'......

Gord Downey was a poet of the highest order. The world was a much better place with him in it. His music will live on for generations.

Get Gord Downie to sing my eulogy.

Kingston needs a statue of this poet. We all miss you Gord.

One of the tightest versions of ABAC I've ever heard. To: Mr. Fay, Mr. Baker, Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Downie (RIP), and Mr. Langlois: Thank you. From: a fan.

"you're gonna miss me, wait and you'll see" this year will be four years since he left us and this song still brings me to tears every time I hear it

Record co's.

Sometimes the guitar playing of Paul Langlois goes unnoticed in a lot of videos, but I love his place in the mix here. You can really hear how much he contributes to the meat and potatoes of the band's sound, his introduction in the second verse is really fierce, and the playing he does alongside Gord on bass is fantastic in the outro. I love this video, the band is at its peak here (in my opinion) and they get a chance to really play through the song as they would in any other live setting, the best of the Hip on KZread!

I've always loved Paul's playing on the outrow on this song, especially live. You really can hear his influence when you listen to his solo album.

This is the best version of the best song.

Hung oot with Gord & the fellas in Austin 2009. Brought the entire Texas Stars AHL team with me. Great show. They (Hip) were more impressed with us, somehow.

I looked up to Gord above and said, hey man thanks! RIP Gord

Saw them three times in two countries, Gordy was unreal. Wish he was still here. Rest In Peace, amazing poet man.

Beautiful bass... Wow we miss you guys

one of my fav songs of ALL time.....can listen to it over and over an over an over an over and over again.

Absolutely incredible footage and sound quality. Miss ya Gordie 👌

I've listened to this about 20 times in the last week, great version.

I can't stop listening to this ❤️

You sir, is ahead by a century.

The best band that nobody outside of Canada or the Northern fringe of the US has ever heard of.

First thing, we'd climb a tree And maybe then we'd talk Or sit silently And listen to our thoughts With illusions of someday Casting a golden light No dress rehearsal This is our life And that's when the hornet stung me And I had a feverish dream With revenge and doubt Tonight, we smoke them out You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century Stare in the mornin' shroud And then the day began I tilted your cloud You tilted my hand Rain falls in real time And rain fell through the night No dress rehearsal This is our life But that's when the hornet stung me And I had a serious dream With revenge and doubt Tonight, we smoke them out You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century You are ahead by a century And disappointin' you Is gettin' me down

I will send this as a request song to all the music channels in the world. Is there an app that can do that automatically?

Anne with an E now I see the word in a different way, I was living in the dark

Play this back at .75 speed, sounds even cooler!

like the Beths! even as "Future Me"....

Anne with An E...🥰🤩😇🤣😂❤😍😭😢

than maybe nut dutch oil bid edge coverage figure view later.

I am disgusted with the use of this song in a Canadian Tire commercial. How dare they! Downie is a national treasure - living or dead. Show some respect!

I actually like the version, the kids did well

BRITNEY SPEARS IS REAL TALENT.

Gotta say, I really find it insulting that today's radio programming, (which doesn't have a freaking clue about diversity and how widening the scope of an artists catalog for airplay) can literally kill one song through repetitive, mind numbing overplay. Money is the bottom line.

Que session irada, amei o som 🩵

I love that gord gets on the guitar and killing it.
