Tragically Hip- Ahead by a century

[AlderHood]

Can't beat the Hip...

There ahead by a century....haha.

Best band ever!

[zimmerdb]

<3 Reminds me of my youth...

[Dilbez]

@zimmerdb: Took the words right out of my mouth. This song is great.

[2allnamaste]

Love Gordie - the Hip will always be relative.

[stett99]

with hip, it connects me to that place as a child with my grandparents in the forest. their music just makes you want to get up, and live your life the way YOU want to. its very empowering. he lets us know, he's human too

[MandyMayzy]

time warp here.I can't count how many yrs back i became a hipster.played the tunes on guitar everywhere i went.

[silent0saint]

omg man music was so fucking good back in the day, the lyrics themselves were art and always had a meaning somewhere in them. These days lyrics are just plain and insultingly simple.

oh ya and Justin Bieber is destorying Ontarian talent.

[neoyroma]

So true my friend.

[joeltoth2]

everything u just said is so true

[324545557]

JOINTS RULE

[jjtempleton]

Where can I find that funny version? Looked but no dice. Post a URL? Please.

[Bfly99]

this song transcends all genres of music... im a hard core hip hop head and i love this song.. idc what ppl say

[chrisstrebor]

@ 1:53 is the guy in the passenger seat smokin a J?

[DELTA104X]

i would believe it is a joint, by the way he is holding it

[Mournerable]

"Stare in the morning 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."

[liljrh86]

the ginger in the video is one of best childhood friends.. yeah, I know a famous person. :)

[coolstud88]

[1hipfan]

10thtestiskills i have heard that version , it is pretty funny, didnt expect that from gord, well with his rants i guess i shoulda expected something like that minus the vulgarity, lolLONG LIVE THE HIP

[bigredonedday]

[Shortye100]

[MrTimLitster]

I'm seeing these guys on wednesday i'm really excited :)

[10thtestiskills]

theres a funny raw version of them doing this song on you tube with a different first verse:

first we'll climb a tree

then maybe then we'll talk

I'll touch your cunt

And you'll touch my cock

Then we'll be married

Then we'll be man and wife

No dress Rehearsal

This is our life

No bullshit

[0killorbekilled0]

really?

[imspanky1013]

no kiding

[dvsuton]

i'm a big fan

[avadakedavra62442]

This is a lovely song, I must say.

[neoyroma]

It is a beautiful and moving song about youth and "growing up." You have very good taste in music.

[johnlennonfan1980]

Your a faggot

[Sarcasmo48]

And YOU'RE a grammar expert...

[Daltonn0810]

thats what youtube has become

one big argument between two groups of idiots

[scrubsrules98]

i know, it frustrates me

[51jake51]

Come on guys, have some sense. Theres no need to be a dick on youtube, especially on a Hip video. Thats not what The Hip are about.

[scrubsrules98]

right-o brother

[walterwaltz]

Sheesh......wit on the level of Andrew Dice Clay. How tragic. How pitiful. You're going to regress yourself into a neanderthal little guy.

[Rmouellette]

im seeing them in 9 days =D

[walterwaltz]

Wow. I just noticed now that this video has a woman commiting adultery.

[mechaphil]

Being that I live in WNY, I'm blessed with all the Hip I could want - they love coming to Buffalo, it seems :)

[Kieran84ire]

I'm from Ireland. Here the big band is U2. But I have to say, the Hip...they're not better, but, they are more in touch with their homeland than U2.

Everything the Hip does, every album, its all about where they come from, it's a band focusing on what it is to be Canadian.

I'm going to see them in December and I cannot fucking wait.

[Kieran84ire]

argh, meant to say, neither band is technically better than the other, I just don't get into that kind of stuff, you know what I mean.

[Minamalist777]

You will not be disapointed mate.....saw them a week or so ago in Penticton BC.....and I have seen them 5 times and this is them at their best.....enjoy my friend...

[Kieran84ire]

The ticket for the show came in the mail today, YES! WOO HOO!

[Gurubrogangsta]

Idk, I'll take The Hip over U2 any day.

[OfficialSpektrymTV]

I think U2 fans would take The Tragically Hip over U2 anyday.

[CgyHighlander]

I don't think it could be better said

[jennigirl6969]

Yay palmtreeman1

[sportsandbeer]

The hip make good music just cause your american doesn't mean you cant listin to them cause there canadian. I love the hip, i love Canada/USA

[mikeyaaa]

very true, but how much play time does The Hip get in the USA? NOT ENOUGH!

from Toronto so I hear them all the time

[palmtreeman1]

As an American, who listens to, searches for, and appreciates wonderful music...... The HIP are a GIFT unto us! Certainly they are a Canadian treasure, but do not think for one instance they are not appreciated here in the USA! In fact, we had a house party last night, and the HIP where all over the stereo!! (And I live in Florida!) American's LOVE great music!

[xoxcharisma]

they are at my house right now!!! my dad is friends with them and just went golfing with them :)

[bobrageagainst]

i wanna bang you! lmao

[TerrorSells]

seeing them tonight in penticton bc

[kyoric]

So is my mom...

[godmode911]

all The hip songs strike a chord in my heart.

[ChevyZ241]

These guys Kick ass.....hope they keep on Rockin' it out

[duminion]

this song & bobcageon are awesome...i saw the hip in port hope before they were famous and they rocked & kicked a** even back then...this song makes me miss my old band (Conflict Of Diss-Interest) and makes me wonder where Jerry Hobbs is now (he was the main songwriter/backup singer of Conflict Of Diss-Interest back in the day...and I was the lead singer of the band). I know where all the other members are except him. I hope he sees this and tells me where he is.

[daine222]

They WERE AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bolg55]

unreal show in london the other night!

[metalgod2347]

[jrnaudi]

Where is the concert on August 8th?

[slasherprincess]

It's at the Abbottsford sports and entertainment Arena BC, Canada, :-)

[trane1965]

2108 bounce wimmie now J to the ROC

RIP Trailer Park Boys

[puntap78]

it so harsh how he wen to prison for like 30 years for some thing he didnt do

[zyclonb6]

wrong song, and YES he went to prison for murder. He killed the man that raped his sister. I'd do the same thing. 38 years old, is the song you're thinking of.

[AZN420BLZN]

lol i love when people fight on youtube about shit that doesnt matter

[OpticalFunkllusions]

haha! I know, hey?

[zyphrgamer]

Awesome band :D

I love them so much.

[sportsandbeer]

Canadian or American it doesn't matter the hip is good music, real hip fans can relate to the music and take it in. No matter yank or hab

[thebigo123]

they are canadian

[sportsandbeer]

No shit so am I, im just saying it's good music

[thebigo123]

ya but its not about weather or not they are canadian like you stated moron

[sportsandbeer]

Im making a point since everyone is fighting about canada and america so your a smart one bud.

[clickclong]

Amen brother

[TripsAplenty]

Real Americans aint no Yanks, fuck the yanks REBEL PRIDE.

[Scarlettfan123]

ok, so this song is not about pot or anything, its about getting revenge on a hornet that stung him, by smoking them out

[zacksmells78]

its about getting over a drug addiction

[nicknack989]

probably my favourite hip tune, the guitar gets me every time

[FallingisFatal]

I love reading American vs Canadian comments. The pointlessness of it amuses me greatly. The fact that we argue over opinions is silly, because its just that, an opinion. Hence no one wins. Ever.

Make love not war.

+ The Hip is an amazing band in my opinion. Loved this song since I was a mini.

[katiebeth2002]

Here in Buffalo NY they sell out stadiums- 4 nights in a row. Thank god we r a border town b/c Canada has amazing musicians and this is one awesome example. Love the hip!

[DEQR]

classic song

[JoeAverage86]

I'm from Chicago and I've never been to Canada but I LOVE THE HIP!!!! Chicago loves the HIP.

Canada seems OK. Great fishing & hockey...go Blackhawks. Stanley Cup Champs in 2010.

[DEQR]

ummm...if you've never been here then don't say it's just OK..

I've been through a lot of the states..and it's disgusting...

Everywhere you look is a waffle house or a mcdonalds...

[Lenercopa]

Yeah, at least here in canada, we have nature in between the waffle housed and McDonalds, lol.

[BitchUstupid]

HAHAHAHAHAHA CLASSIC!!

[datalal624]

LOL. At least for every McDonald's in Canada, there's a Tim Hortons or something more decent food-wise.

[willf3020]

yes man that made my day

[theelboweater]

Tragically hip suck, Im embarrassed that some of us Canadians have made the mistake of thinking they are a good rock band just because there Canadian

[anilorak000]

just because they are canadian? you should try and make some sense of what point you are trying to make before you type it. if they suck so bad why are you watching their videos? is it because you have no life and all you do is criticize cause you are jealous? get the fuck off my page.

[theelboweater]

Im saying the tragically hip suck, and the only reason most Canadians like them, is because they are in fact Canadian. There is a reason why they are not big anywhere else, because their music is shit, its old people rock and its bullshit that all Canadian rock stations are clogged up with it.

[FriskyLobster]

You have every right to dislike a band for their music, but to say shit about them here and to insult all their listeners for no constructive reason whatsoever is fucking stupid. Seriously, if you don't like this "old people rock" (I'm 16), don't bitch about it in a place where people who appreciate it listen to it. Go listen to whatever shit you think is good. Don't nag to people with different tastes. Dick.

[SmackeralJoe]

Fuck, I'm 16 too and "old people rock" just seems way more appealing.

[Lenercopa]

dude, i listen to them, because they actually have good music, you probably listen to people who THINK their musicians, like hanna montanna or metro station, i like the hip because its actually MUSIC.

[Shoes742]

you suck

[Blacklinepro]

Saw these guys live on Friday night in Detroit at the Filmore. AMAZING live, it blew my mind!

[TyQ6]

This song reminds me of the day my daughter was born! Ahead by century for sure.

[grundisgrok]

Why is it that Canada is brought up on every single comment thread for Tragically Hip videos?

[silent0saint]

Because it's awsome you ass!

[alex7171]

Not that much happens in Canada, so they're more excited when a canadian makes good. They do have some good groups, though, including Rush, BNL, etc. And they gave us William Shatner.

[silent0saint]

Alex,

For all you know we dog sled and live in igloos, and for you to say "Not much happens in Canada" is evidence that Americans know jack all about other countries.

So grow up, act your age, and pull your head out of your ass

[BitchUstupid]

Plus all the good pot comed from canada dont forget that!!

so dont fuckin shit on canada man

weve only had one war between us and we kicked ur ass!!

[SmackeralJoe]

BC BUD ALL THE WAY!!!

[center231]

oh yes the canadians once again. proud to be born and raised here and still here.

buy these fellas a pint any time

[starhespera]

Since last Thursday, this is definitely my favourite Hip song. I love the studio version, and live is even more fantastic. And, call me biased, but Gord and Paul's vocals win me over everytime. :D

[fatcatsatonamat]

I'm so confused why were they running?? This video doesnt make sense...

[toolundertow96]

was lifelesson band even speaking english ? i was quite confused. shut up and listen to the music . . . no need for comment . . . wait wtf am i doing now?!

[kayreive]

so proud that they are canadian...i love them so...raises my glass to them...

[jpgrace22]

OH YES! SAME HERE.

[lifelessonband]

dude everybody name drops this song like in k-os crabbucket one of the greastest hiphop songs hes name drops this ...couldent blame em.....k-os repersent (hip fo life)

[lifelessonband]

dont gimme thumbs down motha fuka lol

[lubba0]

*hateful comments and spam!*

[zeronox77]

wow man thats harsh Lolz nice it must be alot easyer to do ttooo hahah props from bc

[Stakegirl]

Oh I know, maybe it's just the fact that Michiganites live in their own bubble, lol. I swear I asked him about such famous songs as Hey Hey My My, Heart of Gold, Ohio, Southern Man, Old Man. Nothing. I think that's just insanity!

[Ghorum]

Did you know some folks actually dub Tragically Hip as too mainstream to be listened to?

I'm appalled.

[Kinserta]

Hah. They are not mainstream.

I can't even consider some people do that, it seems... Impossible to me.

[zeronox77]

what the hell the hip rule almost all of squamish calls them Mainstream so is pearl jam stevie ray vaughn bob marly all of them man everyone listens to them

[stencil14]

another great canadian band!

[xAlexburnsred]

good tune.

[WinterHaven]

I LOVE IT!!!! Sister Loie Thomas, Vegan Voodoo Priestess :-)

[DustedMustard]

when did much music ever play music videos?

[samsungremote]

your ass dumb as a stick. get with the program

[DustedMustard]

my memory only goes back so far :)

[ZOGMACHINE88]

no kidding man, it used to be good now its just like mtv with garbage fucking shows that nobody watches and only play a handful of music.

[brendant19]

Reminds me of the good ol days when Much Music actually played music.

[princy12]

Eh america iv got a tall latter you can clime if u wanna get over your selves

[Stakegirl]

Princy12 you really make me laugh, I have a friend down in Michigan and I feel the same about their attitudes sometimes. He's never even heard of the Hip before, nor Neil Young. As Oscar Leroy would say "Jackass!" ;)

[riderfanszmul]

how can someone not have heard of neil young??? He is arguably bigger in States than here!!

[Theshadow99]

Why are you arguing about America and Canada? Grow up.

[dimesthecat]

i agree man ,yankees r a bunch of losers the recession we're sitting on now is create by america ,the stocks ,the mortgage crisis ...every thing,we're just geographically situatued at the wrong place..a true canadian

[Surfanimal1990s]

2nd song I've listen from them,they really are actually pretty rocking.

[julieannlevine]

This is such a great song and band... They are very much Canadian. My grandmother even had the same mugs when I was a child, as is in this video. Ha ha. Love these guys, even if they were not Canadian:)

[crawfordal01]

the Hip are canadian

[emabmil]

Yes, I know. So am I:)

[crawfordal01]

ya but that person above said they werent! >:(

[peacebewithyou247]

henrytardersauce-Dude, chill out.  I'm an American who has always been great admirer of Canada and all things Canadian...please don't generalize. *peace*

[henrytardersauce]

It's true, we all depend on eachother, my comment wasn't referring to you when i posted those early comments, thanks for handling this well, i was being a bit of an ass. The thing about it is i've just had bad experiences with people in america and hollywood doesn't always give u guys the best image, but yeah your cool, what part of america u from? Just got mad about those comments before about the hip not being good music and that canadian music is a joke.

[bijgenaamd]

How great is the Hip and our brothers North. Beautiful country!!

[iamalilbrat]

It's my favorite song :)

[Kinserta]

I love this song. My teacher gave it to us, just the lyrics and made us think of what it all signified. Later that week he showed us the song.

I think that's awesome. =]

[cigarmikey]

sweet song.

[iunno35]

so was he like allergic to the hornet?

[johnson175]

God f-ing LOVE the Hip. Does not matter what kind of mood I am in it always makes me warm up and mellow out. Greatest Band.

[courtneymccaw]

God f-ing is right fagot!

[silent0saint]

Such a great song isn't, loved since the first time i heard it when i was little, and always will.

[3mer1cask8]

great song

[Banerika]

I love this!

[MusicLoverConnor]

Generic hateful comment for the video poster to remove. If not

your a hypocrite sir

[anilorak000]

haha, maybe i will remove it...

ps im not a sir... ;)

[mickross123]

awesome song

[905kylemckay]

And thats where the hornet stung me !

[manteno]

Doesn't get any better then the Tragically Hip!

[neilpeart1974]

what is with the glitch at the beginning?

[skatopolis]

2:02!!! Amazing.. lol

Oh and if anyone has heard of the Toronto ska/punk/grime, 'skunk', band called 'The Flatliners' ..well I just went to one of their shows in Bolton not too long ago and they fuckin' covered this song. Fucking Beautiful It Was. Out of nowhere and beautiful.

[pluister1]

Wow! how immature. I thought this would be a good space to discuss the SONG

[mikeyaaa]

'trouble at the hen house' was a good one

[hotdogpoppa]

LOVE the Hip!!

[Kylebikinas]

Great campfire song indeed, the Hip is the best music to listen to just relaxing in the summer

[anilorak000]

Why don't you go fuck one of the Jonas Brothers? That's some whiney american bullshit.

Learn to spell you dumbass half-breed.

[henrytardersauce]

man, pissy americans think they know shit all, but the truth about it is, when you compare the education system of canada to that of america, we have a much higher standard of graduate expectancies, our grade average is also higher, so i actually get quite a kick out of americans who say Canadians are stupid because they make themselves look uninformed. And it's true, America wouldn't be anything without us, and every other country they've stolen resources from. So they shouldn't be so cocky

[Amustang]

yeah. im american and i love canada

i would like to move there but i also love america one thing you need to consider is that america has more people and allot of those people are uneducated; they are from different regions where before they were not taught; we have allot of foreigners and please dont categorize my country as stupid or cocky just because we have had 2 bad presidents in the past who have taken offensive steps instead of defensive.. also canada would be nothing with out America

[henrytardersauce]

yeah thats true, both of our countries contain a lot of inter-races...and i'm sorry for the generalization. un-called for. I like america too, and i can't say i love america's government but heck i hate my own so whats the difference. America and Canada do need eachother, and no i don't have anything against america per-say, i just worry about the imperialist motives the government often carries and the rights of people that get infringed, while america can't even be touched without a war.

[XemaXh8sXuX]

ok 1. we COULD live without u. 2.U cant live without US, u needed us to help u seperate from the brits, 3. WE R SMARTER THEN U 4.we are cocky, u guys just dont get us. so before u insult us, think of what we can say about U.

[crawfordal01]

shut up canada could live without and we are ten times smarter and before you start insulting canada think of wat we can say about u Jackass

[eatthefriggenpie]

You're a whiny ass bitch faggot.
