BEST SONG IN THE WORLD

[greeneyedblonde11]

This video, even if a class project, is fantastic. Thank you for showing your talent!

[Nolanhod]

I first heard the hip in grade 5 when the Grey Cup was in Ottawa I got a free cd

[uncleruckus21]

I liked how you ended that with the names of people who would have been put to death had we not abolished Capital punishment.

How many others are there right now living in a daily hell because they got placed there by the powers that be?

Five stars easily.

[napabrandon]

awesome song, the lyrics reach out and touch you

[krishna830]

touch you inappropriately! and you don't even mind cause it's THE HIP! THE GREATEST BAND EVER!

[elements94]

i haven't listened to this song in like 4 weeks so i felt like sayin that this is the best possible song by the best possible band in all of the world and ya it sounds like i love this band to much but no they just deserve a lot of respect that they don't have which they should

[nickrees2k1]

great video but seriously only 40,000 views

the HIP are a talented group of musicians who deserve a lot more credit

a canadian band singing about canadian history

the way it ought to be

[BigBangEqualsLove]

good job on the video =)

were any of the names at the end canadian?

[Bubbles4566]

good job i did not know that that many people get commented because of something they did not do and the last three are newfoundlanders .

[pmsv0852]

I'm from Newfoundland myself so when I was making the video some of the stories jumped right into my mind!

[FleaFunkFan69]

Newfoundland is just amazing. I just got back from the Hip show tonight :)

[the5445]

where is Tragically Hip from? i am from ontario

[bivswiff]

Right... I'm a Newfie as well.. glad you included Druken and Parsons.

[redback3]

aah... the after-effects that must shadow over him, he has lost his youth; but... atleast he was able to get an education in universtiy... Nice video :)

[boratbingbong]

Rubin "Hurricane" Carter anyone?

[CURTSGAY]

yea sick song/movie

[lifelessonband]

bob dylan style

[elements94]

this is the best band in the world

[rcoveyduc]

Awesome job on an awesome song.

[bossanova]

the hip allways made the kind of music pearl jam tried to achieve.

[lifelessonband]

so true but peral jam came out with amazing songs to

[MandyMayzy]

Very nice story you've told in your video. Keep it up. You have talent.

[dustintime1]

i just served for the same thing thanks..... guys for bringing the light to the real innocent. Bless U

[fropen]

cool video-coulda used some shots of Saskatoon tho

[courace]

i agree, i'm not the biggest hip fan at all but they do have some really great songs.

[SpaceCadet1337]

Its kind of weird that people didn't know about Milgaard. But that's why the Hip are an important part of Canada. They sing about our heritage. They are probably the most famous band that are proudly Canadian and sing about Canada. When I listen to them I feel very patriotic. If your teacher hadn't given you an A+ they must have been smokin crack.

[hm2222]

david milgaard is who this song is about.

[kayreive]

oh Dave Coulter, i will miss You so babe..(my boyfriend) he died just a few weeks before Xmas...this was his favourite song....rest in peace , i will see You again my friend

[the7thchambers]

Awesome Vid bro.... Good to see the Meaning behind the song..

[pmsv0852]

hahaha I'm a girl but thanks!

[raptorsfan92]

reminds me of the steven truscott case... put on death row at the age of 16 for murder rape spend 14 years in the joint and didnt even do it

[chrissept21]

he was 15 im pretty sure

but he got his name cleared for that eh i saw it on the news 2 years ago

[SAMRL22]

@raptorsfan92 my dad grew up in seaforth virtually right beside where the Truscott case happened and Ive seen plays on it, its horrible that he got convicted

[200mmonster]

hip is forever great and will never be tested...

[withinspace]

I had no idea what this song was actually about. Thanks for making this.

[shmacklama]

deadly song and video, good job

[M3lloW55]

the tragiclly hip have hidden gems if you listen

[thegirl44]

I didn't know that they were that hidden :).

[tubemaster6]

Can you name me some? the ones i know of are scared and this one, send me your favourites please

[Wideopenthrottle56]

yeah some songs give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside if you can relate, what hidden gems are you talkngi about

[Wideopenthrottle56]

explain a few

[paulprior13]

steven truscott anyone? he was almost hung for something he didnt do and has since been acquitted. that was one of the main false convictions along with milgaard in canadian history

[joshmdavis04]

DavidMilgaard is my uncle through marriage!

[BaconFan123]

but now he is a millionaire because of it

[frenchie21]

yeah, but he lost 20 years of his life, I wouldn't make that trade

[redback3]

would you chuck away your youth for money? :P

[itslikewoahxx]

that doesn't come close to making up for the fact that 23 years of his life were spent in jail.

That's about 1/4 of his life, gone.

[jbakz]

love ur name... :P

[jammmmie009]

Yah.. you couldn't give me a trillion dollars to spend my life from 16 to 39 behind bars..

[Minamalist777]

I'm sure he would rather of had the 23 years of his life back....

[BigBangEqualsLove]

he may be a milionaire, but he'll never get back all those years, and alot of the money has to be used to pay off all the stuff his mom did for him legally.

[Hardtack444]

all those years?.. his mom did for him legally?

[AcademicDinosaur]

What? LOL sorry I don't understand what you're saying.

[paulfxbox360]

Yeah, we're doing miscarriages of justice in English just know.. Steven Trustcott, Milgaard and a few others .. this song is very moving

[mavadjdj]

Great song, and great video, hope u got an A+ for your project. Never new the back story but the Hip are my favorite band, Thanx

[browneyedpickleboy]

Did u ever notis thers a few TTH songs are a duration of 420

[sckeckle]

this song should have been called weed kings.

[parkdale420]

FUCKIN' EH!COOL VID!!

[collin121212]

im suprised he didnt get out in 3 years for good behavior

[condecending]

they dont consider it good behavior when you dont admit to the crime youre accused of

[condecending]

they dont consider it good behavior when you dont admit to the crime you're accused of

[AlexisxKirby]

wow... great video. <3

[dpaan]

Besides the fact that this song alone is amazing, whoever made this video is a genius on his/her own. It is such a revelation. We cannot blame our own justice system without realizing we SUCK!!!!! There is always someone to blame, whether DNA proves it or not. This particular story is as sad as it comes, but everyone of us are the first throw the stone aren't........aren't we? Who's innocent..........who's guilty? It's not our choice............but the main thin is CHOICE!!!!!!

[pmsv0852]

thanks!!

[Moustachemenz]

David M. was given 23million dollars. All the money in the world couldn't bring back 23 years. I feel bad for him.

[PiNGGTGTGTG]

great vid.

[BrettFavre08]

A very underrated song!

[hipburl22]

Great work telling a story that all need to hear. If ever there was a definition of tragedy...this story is it.

[filmmakerns]

brilliant work

[thecoddler]

good song and good story...nice work

[ahd999m]

smoking song

[PoochDoobie]

causeits420

[BearDog477]

im from stoon one of my buddies is related to dave m

[84clay]

I did a similar case study on David M. when I was in High Scholl but never knew about this song...great idea and great work!

[Truthiness231]

I love this band, though since I'm not Canadian I never knew what this song was referring to. This cleared that all up, thanks ^.^

[richgillis10]

didnt get this song at all till now. hip are my favorite band and this is one of my favorite songs from them. great video, keep it up

[zballz5]

the hip are my favorite canadian band and this is one of my favorite songs. Great job on the video.

[2112baby]

always wondered what this song was about. thanks for answering. great vid.

[lglp1]

As odd a choice as it was, this was the first dance for the husband and I at our wedding last summer. We were having a hard time picking a tune that made us both feel good, and since this has long been one of our faves, we thought, how appropriate. Both lyrically beautiful and musically well, fantastic, this song will always bring back the August drinkfest we hosted in Alberta.

Well done with this video, and well done to the Hip for always producing classically Canadian music.

[YannYgogo]

The justice system back then wasent the greatest as you can see, an innocent man spent alot of his time in jail for nothing so i guess you have to be thankful that its changed dramatically over the decades great video btw just goes to show how beautiful canada is and why you should travel here lol ontario is a great place.

[YannYgogo]

Yea gotta love the hip there up there with my fav canadian bands up there with young and its great that he talks about my country as well cause canada is beautiful.

[YannYgogo]

Yea this song is beautiful and it's great that hes talking about my country The Hip is the best canadian artist well hes up there with neil young they both rock.

[witchymama]

"No one's interested in something you didn't do"...I think about those lyrics a lot. Great video btw.

[chizzypink]

thanks for posting this... this just song brings back so many memories from back in the day... thank you

[ThomasMilgaard]

Hallo .. the man you are all refering to is David Milgaard I suppose. He happens to be my fathers grand cousing. Tragical story ..

[SuperWarBunny]

nice video

[jasoneaston2010]

This song and it's message reminds me of why I became a criminal defence lawyer. It's a dirty job and, despite popular views, not one that pays well. The most delicate of our democratic values is the presumption of innocence and it must be vigourously defended no matter how serious or heinous the crime or how deplorable the individual.

[pippin1962]

Good for you Jason--what you do must take a lot of courage. Albert Schweitzer once said; "Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now -- always". We should all seek the truth in our own lives--we would treat others with more respect.

[gabekett3]

nice song

[coolguycurtis]

there is also a lot of skepticism that this song was writing for Steven Truscott, another Canadian citizen that was wrongfully charged (at the age of 14) with the death of 12 year old lynne harper, and was sentenced to death

[psizovrak282]

This video has a soothing quality to it, yet it invokes deep thought.

Very well done, my friend.

[johnnyguitar44]

very well done. the justice system is sad!

[hobensteve]

I don't usually like these home made videos but i thought yours was just astounding. Good job mate.

[goose007]

This was awesome! Very well done.

[dailyanthem]

excellent job...we did a feature on our website on the Tragically Hip song and linked to this montage
