The Tragically Hip - Long Time Running

[littlehairysk8er]

I like music!!

[stageactor1958]

heard OF them. never listened. after a few different tunes on here.... feeling like they are fairly similar in sound and style to R.E.M. Love the jangly guitars and strong emotional delivery.

[poundld01]

ever since i saw them live in charlottetown i love them

[b3t0m0nt]

There are people that think that Canada is about Justin Bieber. But seriously, how his videos have more views than The Hip? Something is really wrong

[Sebbester88]

Artist: souldecision

Buy: "Let's do it right" on:

itunes

wtf youtube

[ZeusSyndacate]

@Sebbester88

LMFAO, no shit ehh!?!?!

They should get shot for that

[daniellemcrae09]

Is this song appropriate for the first dance of newlyweds at a wedding? They are huge tragically hip fans and have been together for nine years.

[ikeing]

@daniellemcrae09

I think so I was planning on playing it at mine

[davesm2006]

@daniellemcrae09 I don't think so. The Lyrics seem to have the them of divorce

[beccarocs111]

@daniellemcrae09

yuuuup!

its my parents wedding song :)

[lrigydruh]

moved to canada 4 years ago , this band is absolutley brilliant an well respected here , let the hip live on ; )

[sunchildforlife]

I love the Trag, one of the best rock bands ever, sad that they don't get the recognition they deserve!! Simply awesome.

[crazycanton]

Don't know if it's a good thing or not but I do not see one fucking hip song with a million plus views.. THIS IS CANADA IN A FUCKING BAND..

[theboarman]

awesome

[moonrox777]

ROAD APPLES is some of their best MUZIK!! shows signs of true diversity and HIP STYLE!! pinnacle release for their carreer. and gordo's lyrics and vocals are so awsome!! u had 2 b there...

[turfturbo]

@moonrox777 I think Fully Completely was better in both individual songs and as a whole. But its all a matter of personal taste. Also has a lot to do with where you were and what you were doing when it came out.

[beccarocs111]

My Parents Wedding Song. <3

didnt make sense to me at the time, but now I get it :)

[sixxluver]

Been looking for this song for yeeeears :)

[tattoohead78]

life's song

[PYSCOPOMP]

who beat ya up?

All gear box

[PYSCOPOMP]

who beat ya up?

[ppatrick81]

this was my mom favorite song

r.i.p mom <3

[Rolazium]

The more time I spend on Youtube, the more I realize society is doomed. Seeing the kind of crap that gets 300 million views, and seeing this has a mere 180k makes bile rise into my throat!

[paulrozy]

@Rolazium does anyone else think it's weird that we measure societal doom based on what kind of music we listen to. I mean fuck boy bands and such, but i think there are more important things to worry about, for the sake of our society.

[assmane999]

@Rolazium : I don't think bad taste in music is an indication of a doomed civilzation.  I'm not disagreeing with you that we suck as a species, but musical preference isn't an important criteria of a thriving civilization.

[rabbitcancer]

@assmane999 yes it is.

[UnitedSovietParty]

@assmane999 Oh yes it is. Do you think attractive, intelligent people have sex listening to Beiber and Kesha?

NO. DIDNT THINK SO

[Abstr4cto]

CANADA'S FINEST

[TheBanana1208]

thanks to my brother I love the hip!!!

[prettyandawkward]

i don't understand how anyone could not like this song/or band they are truely amazing.

they played this at my 37 year old cosuins funeral :'/ he loved the hip (:

[colinerskine]

it makes me sad that they didnt play this canada day

[pmalcik]

i have always loved the hip this is my go to song they get weird but 19 i loved it still love it at 39

[suzyque230]

best song ever

[SuperATVkid]

wow, one dislike, must be Mexican.

[AlexWhalen99]

@SuperATVkid i just spit my pepsi all over my work keyboard loool

[SuperATVkid]

@AlexWhalen99 lol



[asusay]

@SuperATVkid .....heard the mariachi version the other day...man!..it was awful.

[bastionofstrength]

@SuperATVkid: AMEN

27 people are braindead

& 1 poor fish

[junglejim007]

Love listening to old Hip. After damn near 30 yrs. Gord's voice keeps gettin better. Rob Baker's guitar is one of the most underrated in rock. Please keep writin' classics guys.

[SuperATVkid]

im 18 years old and not listening to that rap shit, long live classic rock, and long live the hip! the best band on the planet

[lumpykk1213]

1 person sneezed and accidently pressed the dislike button

[windhovernz]

@lumpykk1213 probably a Justin Bieber fan pressed the dislike.

I only discovered The Hip 5 minutes ago,.. and i ama convert! excellent stuff.

[matthewgomery]

@windhovernz same, discovered them through the song 'fiddlers green', stereophonics did a cover of it and i found out that way

[sparkytrick]

It's mistakes man, it's all about the mistakes and it's always the same mistake. You'll always catch yourself at the moment you fuck your life up proper. You can never tell when your gonna start to hate yourself for your rampant stupidity just like the weather man never know it' ll rain. Man, it's taking forever to forget my mistakes, I'm only a teen. These are my best years, right? Filled with reminders of past self imposed failure. iI can't get it right man...

[themancdogg]

@sparkytrick Sounds like you'r a grade A fuck up! Jus sayin.

[sparkytrick]

@themancdogg Love you too.



[ctaylrgo]

hip joint

[mpapp1971]

I totally forgot about this song, I am going to order this cd tonight, wide awake with crazy memories of when I first heard this stuff.

[vedderclone]

its well worth the wait...........

[rsons1965]

Been listening to thses guys since the 90's.......AWESOME

[HippyBongStockings]

this song and cordilia are the bessst songs ever. like in life maybe even.

[8Zeitgeist]

alot of americans still dont have a clue, spread the word

the hip is the shit

[AK4700ful]

i seen this band in kingston at a bar 23 yrs ago and im still hooked

[shimokita2]

what is this song about?

[Pasinek07]

whoever disliked this, i want them dead

[DaniAB1]

BEST Canadian band ever...oh the memories!

[mikecvet]

it got to the end and i accidentally hit the play button again... 4 times.

[holyshitrock456]

time to crack a beer and and become fully completely relaxed, its been a long time running and im tired

[themancdogg]

this song should have at least 10million views.Real talk!

[829766724]

RIP Mike - this one is for you. miss you tons margie

[droid740]

My friend in college connected me to this song. Now I connect him to it. He's since passed from Cancer as I've previously posted in this page, but I will always try to keep his memory alive here on this page. Robert Mercer. RIP.

[mcivort]

Guess where the Hip are from... Kingston, On. Guess where I'm from... Kingston, On. :)

[chuckybananas]

@blal07 i know of a drive in on pei. towards brackley beachhh

[Makokis23]

not many or any can make a song like this.

simply.....amazing

[MsTanyaadam]

id have to say this is one of their best songs.. i love it!!

[blal07]

Pictou County.. Nova Scotia, Canada... the only place in Maritimes now where there is a Drive in, im pretty sure. Thats New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, nd Prince Edward Island as the Maritimes i'm talkin bout, one Dive-in. We need more Drive-ins!!!

[turfturbo]

@blal07 Drive ins are nostalgic and everything but all in all a terrible way to watch a movie if you really want to watch one. Outdoor screens are usually dirty, usually damaged, and you are watching from a long ways off. The speaker you hang inside your door is god awful and in my experience only half working usually. Fun if you dont care about the movie. Terrible if you do.

[holyshitrock456]

@turfturbo man i live in waterville nova scotia, and man we have a bangin drive in, its almost always packed, and you tune your radio to the station they broadcast from, so you hear the movie crisp as your local classic rock station (KROCK). our outdoor screen is huge and you see your movie perfectly, its always a good time out with some friends at the drive in come down sometime haha

[turfturbo]

@holyshitrock456 I would come down sometime but Im 6100 KM ( I had to look that up lol) west of you. Might take a while. Here in Vancouver there are no drive-ins left. havent been for a long time. Great song tho.

[holyshitrock456]

@turfturbo ahh well maybe some rich conk will set one up someday haha

[holyshitrock456]

@blal07 no way man, waterville, in the annapolis valley we got a drive in, always a good time at the drive in. at the beginning of each movie they play a clip about how there is only a select few drive in left in nova scotia, and that we should support them and stuff.

[wildlizards]

best song ever even 10 years ago :-)

[knickle03]

gord for king

[TheBanayna]

Does anyone know if this song played in a movie soundtrack, or perhaps a television show at some point in time? I've been searching and searching through all kinds of different search engines... I need help...

[schnel127]

@TheBanayna I think it played in the Trailer Park Boys once... but if you want to download it, just use freecorder.

[25svbn]

What is this song about? Dont judge me! I'm 10 >.<

[thompson1901]

@25svbn 5 more years or so then you will know-take care!

[eldogo11]

GOORRRRRRDDDDDYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[grizzlystraight84]

This is such great music.... these guys are really underrated..... great great song

[losermonster]

@grizzlystraight84 They may be underrated internationally, but ask any Canadian and they'll tell you all about the Hip. 30 million fans ain't bad.

[Kieran84ire]

Never gets old.

[ghm389]

How about drink n drive, and get high, and fuck where ever u wana fuck, because u only live once...

[str8nochaysa]

@ghm389 drinking and driving is for losers who care nothing about all the lives they gamble with when they get behind the wheel....if u wanna throw urs away, be my guest..but what gives u the right to ruin someone else's by taking an innocent life away??????nihilistic and selfish motherfucker!!!!

[turfturbo]

@ghm389 Hopefully you will be dead before you kill someone else dirtbag.

[aloc001]

Dont go anywhere...just on TRIPS !!

[Kieran84ire]

@aloc001 LOL

[MrRedneck1313]

i think up to here is better but this came pretty close its realy good

[MrRedneck1313]

love tragically hip

[chessambarrett]

2:35 <3

[droid740]

for my old Risd roommate who's now on the other side. Robert Mercer. Long live the Mustang.

[mariecool85]

music for the soul,or what ever you beleve in,or feel it, :)

[birdman178]

dalt5train wow that was an amazing description i love it

[data5train]

first drum intro..i see two people having their first meeting in awhile, at a run down bar out in the prairies somewhere, barely slow dancing to a juke box tune they didn't order, barely wanting to dance in the first place because of unknown or unspoken feelings of past, but overcome with..the past as well. creaky wooden dirty floors and a bar maid wiping down the bar in the distance, and they both know they're going to the room at the end of the song..

but they won't..and the weight continues..

[bluegazoo]

@data5train nice one

[MClikestoparty]

@data5train you know what...im drunk and that makes so much sense it scary...even if i was sober man good thinking haha i love canada this country is beautiful

[GrungeFiend]

@MClikestoparty

amen to that. amen to the most beautiful country in the world

[seacoastguy]

[musicalkayla16]

[ryanvt77]

[Norabing]

Don't go anywhere, 'cept on trips... lol

[LilWeezyBabie]

[AndreaDeeBull]

Everytime i hear this song, i think of my mother who passed! My brother sang this song in the church for her!! It was the best by far performance he has ever sang! I love u mom!

[Streetzisdeathrow]

this music goes in through the ears n straight to the heart n soul.

[jillerin1987]

definitely one of my all time favourites

[amcanmike]

[latetag]

[millicentbistander]

This song is BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL. I dedicate it to the love of my life... my lil honey baby. Muack! 

[2003fxstbi]

Every tune on this cd is awesome!

[radiofan6872]

I love this song... especially that little soulful twang at 2:33. Brilliant.

[megansmedia]

Some reason this song makes me cry every time i here it.

I love the hip

[hempychic71]

This will be my wedding song if i ever get married to the man ive been with for 18 1/2 years...lol

[PoochDoobie]

@hempychic71 It's fitting that the song is as old as your relationship.

[hempychic71]

@PoochDoobie lol..your so right!!

[heyneyney1009]

probably there most beautiful song

[vinshady77]

this song goes out to my high school sweetheart Dale Gommier. You know i will always love ya, gommdog!! Forever Friends!!

[chuckybananas]

[droid740]

Remember the Mustang. Robert Salvatore Mercer.

[ScorchinScooter]

I love the Hip!! All their stuff rocks even years after released...never gets old!!

[babyG1894]

<3 <3 <3 XoXo

[latetag]

spoke to me.............thank you.

[latetag]

this song spoke to me in many ways.....ty.

[6Nik666]

it's well worth the wait <3 XD

[Tripz1987]

Does you mother tell you things?

Long, long when I'm gone?

Been there with a girl. This song says it all.

[jdawgdabeast]

Dont drink and drive

get high and fly!

and listen to the hip while you do it

[MClikestoparty]

@jdawgdabeast i wish i could if my work didnt piss test lol fuckers....

[maffmanu]

@MClikestoparty You're lucky that's all they do. Pretty much every decent paying job where I live all require hair follicle tests

[kloost11]

dont go anywhere, just on trips XD

[turfturbo]

To me, its about a guy whos been getting more and more fed up with a relationship and hes ending it.

[Kieran84ire]

@turfturbo That's what it always meant to me man, I dunno songs like this are different for everyone, but for me yeah, it's about a guy who is in a relationship that has run its course and its about to end, he knows it and he's actually happy. We've all been there sometimes.

[Harrisonfarms]

Could somebody please explain the meaining of this song?

[JredLapeair]

I'm pretty sure it's talking about the end of any long term meaningful experience, relationship, friendship, life.

[MrRonnietherocket]

it means whatever you perceive it to mean, but to me it is about revenge!!! { possibly to an ex-girlfriend} !!!! ??????

[scrubsrules98]

haha,totally man. the hip write their songs so that the listener can translate them to their own situation. im not saying gord doesnt have personal reasons for what he writes,but hey,as long as he keeps giving us awesome music,im happy.

peace out man

[Englandsbestlover]

harrisonsfarm: it means shut your man and listen you dumb fukkin bitch!!!

[hellaweaknodoubt]

It means whatever you want it to mean. That's how music works. Think for yourself, dude.

[krazymama89]

one of the best songs ever long live the hip

[droid740]

Remember the Mustang

[lemonsalamander]

sure has........

[SRT10TJ]

this is our wedding song... hip is great..... an by the way....whats trouble'n gus???

[dale2yahoo]

reminds me of a girl that ran for over 15 years, finly she has stoped running.

sure was a long time running

[dale2yahoo]

love this song, still reminds me of a girl that now after 15 years has stop running.

Sure was a long tome running

[makattak88]

@dale2yahoo she probably loves the movie "forrest gump" lol

[turfturbo]

Even the guy at work who listens to only rap was wowed by this song.Ive been exposing the young guys to older hip for a few months now.

[julietavalon]

@turfturbo haha, keep up the good work:)

[LifetimeProductionss]

man i love the hip, such a good bad, true artists

[kylebates11]

if you dont chew big red then fuck you!

[bongojenni]

this is still one of the best songs every written

[fopneus]

This song is giving me goosebumps eversince I heard it for the first time back in 1992 I guess it was.

Voice that touches my innersoul, music that penetrates deep inside my musical heart. This diamond will never bore me, ever.

[BRieREBuNCH48]

i love this song, a lot.

[droid740]

Sent a longer PM to your youtube mail, but in a nutshell, we were the odd couple roommates. He was mature and mellow and I was young and hyper. We roomed together at Risd first year and both really loved music. I didn't even have a way to mourn him til this song had me in tears.

[nordstuff123]

Iam so very sory about your loss,I lost a father to suicide about 21 years ago,this never undrstood it till I heard this song when it first came out,now I sit here on my 29th birthday listening it again.He was tired so very tired,WELL WORTH THE WAITE,merry christmas to yo and yours

[droid740]

AIn't heard this since freshman year at 1992, first year at RISD. I dedicate this song to the memory of my old Roommate Robert Mercer, who passed the Hip on to me before he passed away from Cancer. You were a pretty cool guy Robert. Thanks for that year man.

[technicalsuperiority]

Can you tell us a bit about Robert? I'm a Hip Fan and a cancer doc, and I love to hear the stories about the people side of cancer. It reminds us that we are people, not diseases. Peace to all

[Mmmousemaid]

sounds like Van Morrison

Mmmousemaid

[klmk1984]

Can someone please tell me what this song is about? Thanks!

[ynks07]

you tell me ... it means wat it means to you.

[dubLJeez]

fiddlers green is nice off road apples

as well

[g3rr]

I love this song. What other hip songs are slow like this?

[jst818yahoo]

think you would like wheat kings or bobcaygeon, two slow tunes

[dubLJeez]

scared, boots or heart, bobcaygeon, wheat kings,

[coldplayer112233]

@dubLJeez Boots or Hearts is more of a laid back, bouncy, bluesy rocker. Not slow by any means in my opinion but an excellent track nonetheless. :)

[bobbyjumper]

Toronto #4 is slower, not as haunting though.

[1nfiniteSeek3r]

scared

[raglan67]

Class

[bobbyjumper]

I love this song

[animal90sFreak5]

the hip rock!!!!!!!!!!

[mutangclan04]

haha i agree with travis

[Kieran84ire]

This song really grows on you, it's really emotionally charged and if you listen to the lyrics, almost everybody can make some personal connection with it, I'd like to thank the Hip, beautiful song.
