(Submit New Tragically Hip Lyrics) (Submit New Tragically Hip Lyrics) Review about Tragically Hip My thought | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip When I hear it I picture a guy who had the most incredible time with a girl the night before so beautiful and during this mind-blowing encounter he could see the beauty of each one one at a time. The middle of the song could be some show in between but the end he returns to "see the constellation" again. Fine song. | Reviewer: railwalker ------ About the song Courage performed by Tragically Hip This Song means a lot to me, the syntax the melody the beat, not to mention that it first showed up in my life that counted the most (early twenties). All I can really say is I wish there was more music that mirrored this song, the power of this melody to conjure beautiful memories can't be understated. God bless the Tragically Hip!!! Uh, Okay | Reviewer: Anon ------ About the song Locked in the Trunk of a Car performed by Tragically Hip Buddy -- you know Tragically Hip was an active band like, 8 years before the Dave Matthews Band even existed, right? If anything, Dave Matthews Band is just an American version of the Tragically Hip. Your right about the fact that this is an awesome song though. One of their best. summer anthem | Reviewer: anon ------ About the song Lake Fever performed by Tragically Hip I love this song cause it squeezes in all the thoughts you have when first starting a romance.. or is it? " We can take it a little bit further. We can stick to the after-effects part. ’Not trying to make you a believer, don’t wanna a lil’ piece of your heart" Only Gordie can write them like this! " You didn’t say yes or no neither. You whispered, hurry." Is she saying hurry to get on to the sex or is she saying hurry up and show me who you are so I can leave you? and if it works or not he still says.. "til we're talking in whispers again. Until we're talking in whispers again" as if they will end up in bed anyway so he tries so hard to get her... " want to shake your faith in human nature want to break the hearts of everyone. want to be your wheezing screen door. want to be your stars of Algonquin." ..even thought they have no idea what the other wants or is thinking. Excellent!!Love you, Gordie song meaning | Reviewer: anon ------ About the song Locked in the Trunk of a Car performed by Tragically Hip This song is great bit a bit cryptic but the usual excellent Hip melodic story telling. It is from one perspective about a mobster and his thoughts and insights of his lifestyle. "It'd be better for us if you don't understand It'd be better for us if you don't understand" The famous "fuggetaboutit" On the other hand he is the victim that is being locked in the trunk of a car. " Let me out let me out let me out let me out " So it could be viewed as from either perspective..even an observer. This is perfect example of Gord's picture painting songstyle.If I had to recommend one song to someone who never heard of the Hip or just a lesser known one..This is it. four stars!! another great one | Reviewer: anon ------ About the song Boots or Hearts performed by Tragically Hip It is so awesome that Gordie writes songs that never use the words "love" or "me and you" or other overly typical mushy stuff but somehow always writes great love songs in a round about way? The man should try writing novels..SO talented! " But even babies raised by wolves They know exactly when they've been used" Love the fact that they are having "Issues" yet he keeps using comparisons to things outside them. " Fingers and toes, fingers and toes Forty things we share Forty-one if you include The fact that we don't care" I wonder if he writes these things about a fictional person or if it is really about him? " well you won't even let me talk to you We got some air to clear well We'd probably only agree on one thing anyway That's what the hell is happening here?" No one is this dense! Too amazing lyrics.. Good song, great meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Wheat Kings performed by Tragically Hip This song is amazing. When I first heard this song I wasn't into the hip but now I absolutly love them. This song shows how even the best of people screw up and an innocent man can be given 20 years because he was accused of murder and the government screwed up. Bobcaygeon | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip I actually live in Bobcaygeon. It's the best place on earth. I wouldn't trade this town for anything on the planet. It's home to the first locks ever built on the trent severn waterway. Just a little trivia there for anyone who cares lol. oddest Hip song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Grace, Too performed by Tragically Hip This song is very odd even for the hip. I think the metaphor is that he needs her to listen to him. It could be about covert operations or more specifically "cleaners". The idea that you can get away with anything without "a knock on the door." He states he is a total "pro" which sounds like Harvey Kietel in Pulp Fiction. The echoing vocal of "I can guarantee" makes it sound like the singer is trying to talk the woman in the story into doing something wrong, shown when she says "Geez, I don't know." OR..The line "HIM? here! NOW? no! Makes it sound like the whole thing could have been as if Jesus appeared before her and wanted her faith in him even thought it seemed unbelievable what he asked. The man in this song wants her trust. song meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song No Threat performed by Tragically Hip I think the song maybe be a metaphor for the level of power we give our goverment. "rest your weary arms" could mean giving up our rights to be take care of ourselves. He uses the guise of being a window washer as being no threat..he watches all that goes on and you live your lives asumming he is just passively watching but it may the same as secret goverment operations. "Big Brother" is always watching and if you assume he is harmless he could have information you may not want him to have. Yet he goes on to say that he say "How will I know if I'm helping?" like the protection the government provides is necessary. Repeating "No threat" over an over makes it seem like he is saying the Goverment is hypotizing us into a false security. Yes, They're From Canada | Reviewer: David Joanisse ------ About artist/band Tragically Hip With references to small-town life in Canada sprinkled throughout their work, the Tragically Hip are as much a part of Canada as the maple leaf, the loon or the beaver. But what makes them Canadian is that they don't scream it but mention it in passing, so that the inevitable response is, "Oh, you're from Canada?" They're the best thing to come from the Great White North ever, musically, but if you aren't careful, you're liable to miss them, like the Aurora Borealis, if you aren't outside at the right time. This song is great | Reviewer: Adam ------ About the song Little Bones performed by Tragically Hip I think they're trying to say "don't choke." People can start out brilliant, but end up becoming obsessed, corrupt or otherwise a mere shadow of their former self. The reference to Shockley - brilliant and intelligent man who won a Nobel prize in physics. However, he lost his mind and starting giving Hitler-esque speeches about the superiority of the white race and became obsessed with eugenics (certain people should be sterilized type thing). One could say that somewhere along the way he choked. The Kennedys... had everything going for them, but have basically ended up dead or disgraced. It's just a great and clever song. bobcaygeon | Reviewer: colin ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip Q: Bobcaygeon is a town in canada can you fill us in on that before we hear the tune? Gord's Answer: " Yeah, small town, lots of stars, you can use any town you want. Bobcaygeon rhymes with constellation. " one star at a time | Reviewer: Rich ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip What resonates for me, and the time in my life when I first heard this song is in the line "I saw the Constellations reveal themselves, one star at a time" all I can think of when I hear it is that patterns in life...the bigger picture... the Contellations... are sometimes made up of so many small things, that you can't necessarily see until you have the perspective of time to see them.. and being in the right place (Bobcaygeon) with the proper clarity... Also makes me think about the nature of Constellations...they aren't anything other than an idea, between human beings, transcending time and space... if you have the eyes to see them, and recognize the patterns in the chaos... I don't know.. I think Gord's a goddamn genius...nuff said I suppose... bobcaygeon | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip The song is about a Mountie that's feeling depressed and smothered in his life and maybe thinking about leaving his job and wife behind, but then during the riots, where he was an officer on duty to keep the peace, during the chaos and violence she was the only thing he could think of, so he sort of had a life-reaffirming moment, "the constellations revealed themselves one star at a time", and went back to her that night instead of leaving town. Burdi | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip It's actually referring to what happened in toronto with george burdi and the Anti-racist action. George and his "neo-nazi/white supremacist" band gave a concert. (hence aryan twang) After his band's concert, George kicked an ARA girl in the face and broke her nose. This led to him being arrested, going to jail and "reforming". THE TRAGICALLY HIP | Reviewer: kyle ------ About the song Are We Family performed by Tragically Hip EVEN BETTER SONGS BY THE HIP GUS:Gus: The Polar Bear From Central Park SILVER JET TRAGICALLY HIP ARE one of thows bands like .... lets say Pearl Jam bine around for a while and the more you lisen to them the more you understand there tunes .. this day and age with this rap and hip hop shit... its nice to see bands like hip holding on for so many years and one day they just hit the big time good for them congrads gord and band cheers kyle Meaning of "Bobcaygeon" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip Fans all know that Bobcaygeon is a town north of Toronto. in the song... Bobcaygeon is a town where the author finds solace and realization slowly and peacefully ..." one star at a time" In Toronto the Crowne Plaza Hotel has a checkerboard floor and has hosted conferences for Holocost denial groups. I imagine the man they couldn't hang is Zundel an in-famous holocost denialist. Some say the man they couldn't hang is the name of a band in the UK. This is true but I cannot see a connection to Canada or the hip. So when they say "the men they could'nt hang stepped up to the mic", and "voices rang with an Arian twang" I think they are talking about the Crowne Plaza conferences. What is the Hip's relation to Bobcaygeon? | Reviewer: thip ------ About the song Bobcaygeon performed by Tragically Hip what do you think this song is about and why the hell can't i stop listening to it? It reminds me of how one moment can be solidified in your mind forever. Something about leaving this girls house brought him to this revelation of where he is in life, and it happened in Bobcaygen. What's Bobcaygen like? I first heard this leaving a girl's house at a croassraods in my life, that;s why it resonates. I'm going to stop now. Love this song | Reviewer: Luana ------ About the song New Orleans Is Sinking performed by Tragically Hip My friend Joe turned me on to the hip years ago. I played the tape forever and later got the cd. I so Love this song!
