  • It can't perhaps, but it should. The Hip, once a staple of consistency album to album. Their last few albums conspired against this trend (after IVL). However, there always seems to be a gem or two on each new disc (this track; in view; morning moon). Love ya guys regardless.

  • Remember the Canadian TV Show "Corner Gas" where the Hip appear in a cameo playing this song? 

  • good fucking tune

  • Just watched them at the Orpheum in Vancouver. Fucking Awesome!!

  • Great song, a song aimed at the all the yahoo's who supported the war in iraq and alienated the dixie chicks. I hope Toby keith likes this one, cause it has got you in the cross hairs. stupid ass redneck, i would meet him at center ice and this deliver this message personally

  • Love this song from the hip listen to it everyday at the gym !

  • @appleguru86 Me too! I use it to close up my run on the rowing machine. Totally makes me forget I'm completely wiped haha

  • i love the hip.

  • They're fantastic, right up there with the Go-Betweens.

  • I confess. I never really liked the Hip. I bought the new album after hearing Morning Moon, and I was INSTANTLY hooked. I went back through their (quite extensive) catalog and can easily say that these guys are amongst the elites of Canadian music. Love it!

  • @underthelighthouse Thats great for you bro, enjoy it the rest of your days...

  • great song. im putting this in my favorite songs of the the 00's.

  • This song is godly, looks like their drummer needs new heads though

  • The Hip are my favorite band for a very simple reason. Awesome poetry, need more be said. They reenvisioned modern rock for me. You can rock out and still say something meaningful in every song.

  • Well said! Their music realy speaks to me as well! The Hip have a great sense of melody, tempo and poetry which comes together wonderfully.

  • Does anybody have bass tab for this song...or know how to play it on the bass?

  • google it

  • whats funny is that i had never heard of the Hip before University, and then a few guys introduced me to their music..favorite band baby...best song..

  • my fav song by them.. they're so holy!

  • I bow at their feet, with the others. . .

  • This is a great song... but... 'stares into the queer of the firefight'... what the fuck?

  • this song was written around the time, and about, the iraq war and how celebrity members of the american community openly supported it (toby keith for one). in saying that, the line 'stares into the queer of the firefight', could describe an american soldiers doubts as to the legitimacy of this war, as a violent confrontation is taking place before him/her. and queer, used here, could mean the absurdity of the firefight itself. like, queer, odd, out of place...you know?

  • The Hip kick ass.

  • i love the hip!!! gord downie is such a poet, nothing tops their music

  • purty good
