I didn't find out about the hip till after gords diagnosis. I figured the hip was just another band... then I heard 50 mission cap. That started me down the road of every single song I could find. Then trying to find the meanings and the back stories. I love this band. In the 2 years I've been listening to them I feel myself becoming more aware of the the needs of others. The Hip has made me a better person. I wish I would have found them when I was younger.
There is a guy in Italy who discovered the Hip at the beginning of the pandemic and recorded some covers of their songs in Italian. They are lovely and the Hip talked about in the CBC interview for the Junos.
Oh that's awesome brother that's good to hear tragically is the type of band you never forget in my honest opinion they were one of the best bands of all time from Canada.
I can't listen to this without sobbing every time. It's my life. Has been for far too long. Even now... my eyes are burning as I type. This band is a gift.
I cant believe how much of an impact this man made on my life. Hearing about his diagnosis was like being shot in the stomach. But its strangely beautiful the way he gets to go out. Everyone gets to reflect with him.
I just watched Long Time Running and it Hits Me the same way excellent documentary and any fan of rock n roll music should see it NOT just fans of The Tragically Hip. Gordon Downie was the greatest performer and showman I ever had the pleasure of seeing almost every tour usually down in Texas driving from Shawnee Oklahoma to do so . I would never do that for any other rock band I LOVED. I am so glad to have seen them live in the USA small clubs such a killer band I think every show was well over 90 minutes with encores too. God Bless The Tragically Hip
Well, now we're all going through something. Rest peacefully our dear Captain. We will LOVE YOU forever. Thank you so much Gord. You were the best. The BEST!!!!!
To think they were writing at this caliber, this late in the game... Just an amazing body of work. Radiohead, Coldplay, Kings Of Leon etc can suck it! THIS is incredible songwriting! RIP Gord I'm sorry the rest of the world couldn't see your genius. And the Johnny, Rob, Paul & Rob.. Best live act I've ever seen...and I'm an American! (PS: Make your wine, beer and cider available in the States. PLEASE!).
It's a shame that so many Hip fans under rate this album or pretty much everything after the 90's. This is one of my favourite Hip song's, along with "Coffe Girl," "The Last Recluse," and "Morning Moon" from the same album
Such an elegant frontman who was obviously comfortable in his role. He was a showman in and of himself, without the need to rely on any gimmicks or pyrotechnics or false personas. A shame we couldn't get more music from him, but we certainly do have a LARGE body of work to enjoy until the end of time.
Love this song! And don't worry about "What if this song does nothing?". Believe me this song definitely did something for me and I'm sure for many other people out there. Thank you very much! LONG LIVE THE HIP!
HIP HIP HIP! Got my daily Hip fix. Saw the Hip three times on this tour. Dallas, Houston and Austin (whose motto is "Keep Austin Weird") and when Gordon went into the lines "Bring on the requisite strangeness/ It always has to get a little weird...a little weird" the audience exploded. Reel em' in Gord! and I hope it never ends! The Tragically Hip-the greatest band on the face of the Earth!
I grew with the Hip in their progression even if it took a few more listens to open my ears to Gord's genius. We Are the Same & World Container are favorites along with all he gifted us. "In a World Possessed by the Human Mind" may be perfect.
I just spent the better part of today watching Gord with tearful eyes my regret I never discovered them sooner or seen them live. Tragically hip are incredible and I can’t believe they aren’t known world wide.
@@nicholaswiebeck i found this song last fall shorty after my grandma passed away it had the same effect on me. i wanted to show others so, I put on the radio as we were driving to a friends cabin in Germany. they sat there in silence, i warned them it was a sad song, but they still wasn't prepared for it. proudly i can say i converted a few Europeans to hip fans
Marcus Weber that’s a great story! Wish I could try to get my friends to listen to the Hip, unfortunately they are content with the shit that gets the majority of radio time nowadays.
i hope to god that youtube comments can somehow travel through the ether so that gord fucking knows how much we miss him ♥ "are you goin' through something? 'cause i... i am too."
...and to that "little slice of heaven" that was with me in Austin, that intrepid young lady, I'll never forget you! You made this ol' man's heart beat faster every time that I looked into your eyes.
That song punch me right in the face when they started the show with it back on 2009 at the Metropolis in Montreal .... Gord is the only men who makes me cry ...
The depth of feeling and caged intensity coupled with tenderness in this song is incredible. In fact, the entire album is like this. Typical Hip -- the more you listen to it, the better it gets. The Hip are not a style over substance, all sizzle with no steak band.
The Rock Under the pillow I bury my head and try and shut Chicago out As it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds Of perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls All saying are you going through something?

When the door is just starting to open? When Athabasca depends? Don't you wanna see how it ends I can hear you But I can't stay here You left me lost in the Barrens You left me born on the stairs It's minus 11 Inside my kettle I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens I didn't come to settle To be a man on the moon To get my little slice of heaven Yeah Don't you wanna see how it ends? When the door is just starting to open? And Athabasca depends Doncha wanna see how it ends Don't you wanna see how it ends? The door is just starting to open. Athabasca depends. Don't you wanna see how it ends? Yeah Don't you wanna see how it ends? I'm holding the door to the Barrens And Athabasca depends Doncha wanna see how it ends?
This song has grown on me. The orchestration on the album version is excellent, and the final few minutes remind me of Beatles compositions from the 60s. No, I don't want to see how it ends, not for Gord.
Who is better than these guys?NOBODY. And the fact that they ARE Canadian makes them the BEST in my view. Sorry NiagaraWarrior, can't use Hip and "second" in the same sentence.
super ballsy of them to open shows with this on the 09 tour. talk about alienating a crowd with a NEW song, never mind a three part 9 minute affair.....my wife and I front row only ones belting out every word while the fairweather fans scramble in the lobbies to get their last beers.
It's kinda ironic because almost every Hipsong does something...they make ya think...what does Athabasca depend upon? Who is Hugh Maclennan and what did he do?(writer-one of Canada favorite sons) Hipsongs celebrate the wonder, mystery and diversity of life! LONG LIVE THE TRAGICALLY HIP!
Jon Focker This sounds EXACTLY LIKE THE ALBUM. (except the requisite mistakes by Bobby) I don't understand why people hate this album. It might be my favorite if I could possibly pick a favorite.
People hate this album? Really. I've never read anything but praise for it. I love this album. What does requisite mistakes by Bobby mean? He seems like a great lead player to me
How about the full show (barring two songs - The Last Recluse and Courage - for copyright reasons (?)) from Abbotsford, BC on August 8th, 2009? That good enough? czcams.com/video/VTOw0hEz3TE/video.html

Just discovered this album, 14 years later. This is my favourite song.
It's a bit depressing...s
Mine too….my life in song
It's their only good song imo. But rock 95 overplayed most songs.
Gord gave me a set list. He was a wonderful person.
I didn't find out about the hip till after gords diagnosis. I figured the hip was just another band... then I heard 50 mission cap. That started me down the road of every single song I could find.

The Hip has made me a better person. I wish I would have found them when I was younger.
mark e you are just like the rest of the world. They are not well known, not sure if that’s a bad thing,. Just be happy you found them.

❤️
the lucky few that got to listen to this song live should feel privileged
Absolutely one of my favourite Hip songs. One of the most underrated in their collection
I can't listen to this without sobbing every time. It's my life. Has been for far too long. Even now... my eyes are burning as I type. This band is a gift.

Smile on my face, yet tears.
hope you're doing ok
Ms.CanadaUSA ty for sayin. U gave me tears
Less than 150,000 views, the world is missing out on one of the best rock band ever, Gord was gift that was never really opened.
Maybe the most underrated Hip song.
I love this song. Ballsy, to write something this long, being their longest, it has a good flow and comforts me to listen too.
+Steven Anticknap 💖
Glen Gratto you are wise amongst men.
Glen Gratto totally!
We'll be going back to this performance for decades... it just never let's me down...we get to see all parts of who Gord is here in this one.
Well, now we're all going through something. Rest peacefully our dear Captain. We will LOVE YOU forever. Thank you so much Gord. You were the best. The BEST!!!!!
the shifts in this song are incredible, aren't many songs that can take you on a ride like this
the last 4 minutes of this song is a musical masterpiece
*Last 9 minutes
To think they were writing at this caliber, this late in the game... Just an amazing body of work. Radiohead, Coldplay, Kings Of Leon etc can suck it! THIS is incredible songwriting! RIP Gord
I'm sorry the rest of the world couldn't see your genius. And the Johnny, Rob, Paul & Rob.. Best live act I've ever seen...and I'm an American! (PS: Make your wine, beer and cider available in the States. PLEASE!).
Robbie's solo tone with that Gretsch and fuzz pedal is everything.
It's a shame that so many Hip fans under rate this album or pretty much everything after the 90's. This is one of my favourite Hip song's, along with "Coffe Girl," "The Last Recluse," and "Morning Moon" from the same album
Best live performer ever - Gord Downie - discuss.
Jeff Thomas Black no contest
Jeff Thomas Black No contest.
100%
Flawless...hands down the best live performance I have ever seen out of any band.
I am blown away😮❤️
This song is a masterpiece.
Finally!!!!!!! My wife loves the HIP!!!! She finally hears it and she's hooked. Thank you, boys!!
Such an elegant frontman who was obviously comfortable in his role. He was a showman in and of himself, without the need to rely on any gimmicks or pyrotechnics or false personas. A shame we couldn't get more music from him, but we certainly do have a LARGE body of work to enjoy until the end of time.
It doesnt get any better than this….LOVE it….you are so missed 😢
I feel blessed that I was alive when the hip was was with us and now will be forever more
Love this song! And don't worry about "What if this song does nothing?". Believe me this song definitely did something for me and I'm sure for many other people out there. Thank you very much! LONG LIVE THE HIP!
12 years ago and this is still so fucking epic. A live board-tap audio and it murders most top notch productions.
Just bought this album on vinyl while back in Canada - this is now one of my favourite tracks of TTH - absolutely outstanding...
HIP HIP HIP!
Got my daily Hip fix.
Saw the Hip three times on this tour. Dallas, Houston and Austin (whose motto is "Keep Austin Weird") and when Gordon went into the lines "Bring on the requisite strangeness/ It always has to get a little weird...a little weird" the audience exploded. Reel em' in Gord! and I hope it never ends!
The Tragically Hip-the greatest band on the face of the Earth!
What a fucken showman. 👏🏻
All my love. ❤️
You know it girl...
@Tony Rampling Right back at ya, brother. 😊
"Are you going through something? I am too... "
So great
I grew with the Hip in their progression even if it took a few more listens to open my ears to Gord's genius. We Are the Same & World Container are favorites along with all he gifted us. "In a World Possessed by the Human Mind" may be perfect.
A melhor!!
Where has this song been all my life?
i dont think a performance can get better than this
Gordie's Tommy. There are songwriters, and there are poets. And then there are poets who wrote songs.
Damn it just look at them and listen, just f ing glorious.
Best song EVER!
Holy cow. I could watch Gord all day.
And all night.
I just spent the better part of today watching Gord with tearful eyes my regret I never discovered them sooner or seen them live. Tragically hip are incredible and I can’t believe they aren’t known world wide.
Marcus Weber been listening to them now for three years and just discovered this song. I had tears watching this
@@nicholaswiebeck i found this song last fall shorty after my grandma passed away it had the same effect on me. i wanted to show others so, I put on the radio as we were driving to a friends cabin in Germany. they sat there in silence, i warned them it was a sad song, but they still wasn't
prepared for it. proudly i can say
i converted a few Europeans to hip fans
Marcus Weber that’s a great story! Wish I could try to get my friends to listen to the Hip, unfortunately they are content with the shit that gets the majority of radio time nowadays.
Beautiful. Makes me cry every time ❤️💕
How can you dislike this. So fricken amazing. RIP Gord & forever love the Hip.
I dont want it to end.
i hope to god that youtube comments can somehow travel through the ether so that gord fucking knows how much we miss him ♥
"are you goin' through something? 'cause i... i am too."
Geez I'm starting to come back here every couple weeks know, just in a trance
One of my favourite Hip songs! God I miss Gord!
I agree with all the coments I have read here ! Love the Band , love the Man and love the song
So underrated ❤️ Hip Forever
...and to that "little slice of heaven" that was with me in Austin, that intrepid young lady, I'll never forget you! You made this ol' man's heart beat faster every time that I looked into your eyes.
i cannot believe this was a decade ago.
RIP gord, you are truly missed back on earth
So incredible! What a band!! 🇨🇦
Underrated song by a underrated band
I got to be alive while these guys were making this music , fuckin' EH ! :)
I can't listen to this song without getting tears in my eyes. I love this song so damn much!
That song punch me right in the face when they started the show with it back on 2009 at the Metropolis in Montreal .... Gord is the only men who makes me cry ...
Love this song. One of my favourites. Love you guys!
You're so special. Unreachable. My ideal.
The depth of feeling and caged intensity coupled with tenderness in this song is incredible. In fact, the entire album is like this. Typical Hip -- the more you listen to it, the better it gets. The Hip are not a style over substance, all sizzle with no steak band.
"Typical Hip -- the more you listen to it, the better it gets" That sums up their whole career
Not true. Tell that to rock 95 barrie. Coulda loved the tragically hip without that hey dude if you're Canadian you like this vibe.
Listening to this tune ... pffft I’m saying nothing .. fkn lovely .. rip gord ... go on guys ...
Never get tired of this song or this performance ! My absolute fav.
Why oh fucking why is this guy not known by more people?
Need to listen to this song today - RIP Gord
Came here from The Skydiggers cover of Depression Suite: The Rock. Speechless all over again.
I hated the hip till a year before Gord's death. I was fucking devastated. This is my favourite song of all time. R.I.P Gord.
BEST song EVER….♥️🌹🎩🪶
I love this song so much. I can't listen to it enough.
Rest in peace, Gord. Miss you.
literally, one of my absolute favorites!
The Rock
Under the pillow
I bury my head and try and shut Chicago out
As it turns out there's a whole other world of sounds
Of perfect fifths low skids and Arctic howls
All saying are you going through something?
Are you going through something?
Under the pillow a little room to breathe
The early morning light's a pale cranberry
I hear the Aaa-aah-aah not now-wow-wow
Of a siren faraway and closing steadily
Saying Are you going through something?
Are you going through something?
Cuz I - I - I - I I am too
Under the pillow
I can hear you whisperin' are you going through something?
Well honey are you going through something?
Are you going through something?
Then I - I - I - I I am too
Then I - I - I - I I am too
Then I - I - I - I
I am too

In the saddle I'll ride you'll see
There's new work in the Day Room
I can't lounge on-line
Don't you laugh
I'd sell a giraffe and I'd give you half
Just to occupy my mind
I'll be driven my eyes always moving
I'll be riveted to the task yea
No smiling! That's important
I will make my face a mask
And I'm thinking just in passing
What if this song does nothing?
What if this song does nothing

I move through huge rooms with no windows

Don't You Wanna See How It Ends?
Bring on the requisite strangeness
It always has to get a little weird a little weird
Yea you just bring on the requisite strangeness
Bring it on then disappear disappear
Go to be a man of the boom
To Florida without the ocean
But
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
When Athabasca depends?
Don't you wanna see how it ends
I can hear you
But I can't stay here
You left me lost in the Barrens
You left me born on the stairs
It's minus 11
Inside my kettle
I didn't come to get lost in the Barrens
I didn't come to settle
To be a man on the moon
To get my little slice of heaven
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
When the door is just starting to open?
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
The door is just starting to open.
Athabasca depends.
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
Yeah
Don't you wanna see how it ends?
I'm holding the door to the Barrens
And Athabasca depends
Doncha wanna see how it ends?
Thank you so much!
This song has grown on me. The orchestration on the album version is excellent, and the final few minutes remind me of Beatles compositions from the 60s. No, I don't want to see how it ends, not for Gord.
I can't believe there are 23 thumbs down for this. Absolutely incredible song.
This is a stunning performance. If this is truly #2 on the setlist it is remarkable that they played a 9 min suite that early. Incredible
This is the best. Robbie's fuzz tone at the end is so killer.
Who is better than these guys?NOBODY. And the fact that they ARE Canadian makes them the BEST in my view. Sorry NiagaraWarrior, can't use Hip and "second" in the same sentence.
Perfection!!
Miss ‘em
2009 Hip. The metamorphosis is complete, fully.
Gold.
I love this fucking band
Rest in peace Gord. These will never be another quite like you.
its very sad :(
This, is Canada!
Truly a wonderful and treasured band
RIP Gord
Thanks
Tears God im going to miss ya Gord
RIP BIG GUY!!!
super ballsy of them to open shows with this on the 09 tour. talk about alienating a crowd with a NEW song, never mind a three part 9 minute affair.....my wife and I front row only ones belting out every word while the fairweather fans scramble in the lobbies to get their last beers.
I miss him so fucking much.
"Not to be some man on the moon,
trying to get my little slice of heaven".

A nation mourns.
It's kinda ironic because almost every Hipsong does something...they make ya think...what does Athabasca depend upon? Who is Hugh Maclennan and what did he do?(writer-one of Canada favorite sons) Hipsongs celebrate the wonder, mystery and diversity of life!
LONG LIVE THE TRAGICALLY HIP!
Beautiful.
Really great song with an interesting origin. Thanks for sharing it #courageforGord
what is the origin of the song?
my very favorite
this is so awesome
I Always Think Of Them💎💘
boring song on the album but in concert, damn good of course. so glad i heard of them back in the day. buffalo loves the hip!
wow this is so good
Jon Focker This sounds EXACTLY LIKE THE ALBUM. (except the requisite mistakes by Bobby)
I don't understand why people hate this album. It might be my favorite if I could possibly pick a favorite.
openskiesmedia
i mean being there in person. i agree it sounds exactly the same.
not my favorite album at all but its good
People hate this album? Really. I've never read anything but praise for it. I love this album.
What does requisite mistakes by Bobby mean? He seems like a great lead player to me
GOD, I just LOVE Gord!
I Cry For His Family💎💘
After watching this
I wanna see how it ends
To many fans crying about how the Hip got old and changed ,but so did their fans at the same time.
7:38 When camera production doesn't know what a guitarist doing a solo looks like. - First I hear of this suite - amazing!!
What a beautiful song. Much more powerful live than on the album.
Was never huge on this song, but man I was missing out.
Awesome. A true frontman. Are there moe videos from this show?
How about the full show (barring two songs - The Last Recluse and Courage - for copyright reasons (?)) from Abbotsford, BC on August 8th, 2009? That good enough? czcams.com/video/VTOw0hEz3TE/video.html
Actually, check that. Both The Last Recluse and Courage are there. Full concert. Woo!
Gord.... bring this voice back on Tour with you... please
what is the going rate for a giraffe 🦒today - you brought a camera to the rink? it always has to get a little weird
I love this song but I can't find a studio version because We Are The Same isn't on any streaming service's
I am too. Missing you Gord.
Wow!
I miss you Gord. And I’m sad to see how it ended.
