The Tragically Hip - We Are The Same

[Smalltown125]

The video for 'Morning Moon' reminds me of the movie 'Johnny Dangerously' where the couple are walking and talking all night. They start out in the city streets and end up in the country. Johnny looks around and says 'Where the hell are we??"

[domakazie1]

In the middle of watching the 15minute thing before the video. Hot damn, Ron Paul gets me pumped! Restore America, vote Paul!

[pbrownonyouification]

The very 1st Trag Hip song I heard was in 1987. It was "Evelyn" I went over to the UK for afew years,but just couldnt get the tune outta my head.I knew they were gonna be HUGE.When I got back in 1992,low n behold,I was right! L♡VE The Hip!

[TheUpperHand13]

MAKE ME PROUD TO BE FROM THE KINGSTON AREA:D PROUD TO BE CANADIAN!

[Bobsmybong]

I am a Canadian that lives abroad, however when I want to go home all I have to do is listen to The Hip.

[xDirectJABx]

I love it up here!

[sonjahwkns]

Please someone tell me, what this video is about...I love the song, and the video too, just would like to know what it's about...

[schnel127]

@sonjahwkns a lot of Hip songs are written for the individual mind to portray... I think this is one of em. :]

[riseagan]

I coul never understand why the T.Hip are so popular in Canada but nowhere else. Especially since they are world class musicians. But its because of how Canadian they are. Only a Canadian truly understands what they are talking about.

[abenelza]

@riseagan same here but they sellout every show they play here in holland ,best band ever

[DOORS20]

@riseagan your exactly right!

[riseagan]

@DOORS20 Whenever our long winters/relatively short summers get me down, I toss on the t.hip and couldn't imagine living anywhere else. aha, love this place.

[DOORS20]

@riseagan ya buddy, the hip and neil young for me!

[tifff555]

I love it! Anyone know what album is this off of?!?

[C17SL655]

@tifff555 its "We Are The Same"

[Shakeweight2011]

11:56 of pure enjoyment.

[recurse]

This is such an awesome video. I've had The Last Recluse stuck in my head for the last several weeks, and it can stay as long as it likes :)

[lotusflower281]

Saw Gord Downie in concert. That man is a poet, musician and artist all in one. And the band Tragically Hip just fit together so well. Their music is amazing, very Canadian.

[LucyR333]

I love this so much :)

[C17SL655]

wow... three people dont know talent when its right in front of them, oh well their loss

[swassontelus]

@C17SL655 Focus on the good in the world, my friend.

[C17SL655]

@swassontelus lol yeah i try but there is so much bad going on that i do get pissed at people, im not worried about things like this at all but how we have already f@cked this world up. i think that we have already passed the tipping point of it, mainly because of plastic.

[swassontelus]

@C17SL655 I used to feel that way as I lived in the heart of hydrocarbons (Red Deer Alberta) until I saw a bumper sticker saying "What used to piss me off, now only makes me laugh". That is a good way to change an attitude like ours. Peace. Its all good. Nature has a few tricks up her sleeve to put humans in their place.

[C17SL655]

@swassontelus lol i hope so and thats a good way to think of it. i used to live in cold lake =)

[9753iceclaw]

@360dom360 its over the don river/ DVP i think

[jasrogg]

Is he her Dad or Boyfriend?

[arnolddrummer]

@jasrogg Probably supose to be her daughter. although, i wouldn't doubt that Gord could get a girl as hot as her. let him speak a few lines of poetry and he could melt any girls heart, garuntee.

[angustus5]

this is music....God bless The Hip

[senz20]

The way the girl looks in "he there coffee girl" reminds me of Pouce Coupe girl

[ModestParade89]

The Last Recluse and the video at that point are so heartbreaking and fantastic.

[FreakinKoolMedia]

THUMBS UP FOR TORONTO :D

[360dom360]

do you recognize where the scene with the green bridge was filmed? it looks familiar, but I cant put my finger on it

[sunflowerofpeace]

Going to see them Tuesday ;D woooooooohooooooooooooo !

[Riney25]

GOING TO SEE THEN TONIGHT!

[sunflowerofpeace]

@Riney25 Hope you have a great time, can't wait for them to get here also,cheers from BC

[trams33]

lady gaga is scaring the fuck out of me!

[RumAndCodeine]

So Damn Pretty.

[jerodirwin66]

canadian this and canadian that? why? its a label, a border, your YOU, not canadian! i love where i live but come on! its a line______ that seperates us.

[JarretFan1]

@jerodirwin66

Being Candain doesn't seperate us. Its an Identity not a lable. If you strip us down to Human we have nothing to our idenity other then being the same species. Im proud to be Canadian and so is Gord. There is nothing wrong in being proud of your country. We as Canadians have made a great nation. No need to tear it down for any reason.

[jerodirwin66]

some day! some FUCKING day!

[JSLEnterprises]

The Last Recluse + The expression on Gordon Downie's face, on the ride on Toronto Island to the ferry with the girl is perfect to catch the feeling of the song in its entireity.

[inthefiveonenine]

Pure Canada right here - incredible work from the Hip.

[ironlion7800]

this is "the last recluse" who are you? the last canada goose.

[44Noobez]

So proud to be Canadian! Love these guys.

[12321Walrus]

I love the amount of Canada love here

Oh fuckin Canada!

[WMDimes]

The hell is Slim Twig doing in here?

[JSLEnterprises]

@WMDimes they had to find a loser to play a loser. lol

[emblemcrew]

the only thing i dont like about Canada is that it isnt where i am :(

[iTubeYourDadsMinge]

FUCK VEVO.

[vontristan19]

i want to have that lolita!

[pichoni]

I am a proud Canadian and we have one of the best music.

[WerewolfMorgue]

Slim Twig! What an epic kid.

[JediMagnusDelcarte]

This is "The Last Recluse" VEVO, you fail so bad. failwhale.jpg

[ArctixBear]

That was fucking cute and amazing.

[TheSopo41]

Great song, as for the vid, as much as you may love BC ferries, the video is filmed in the Toronto area, huge snowbanks, Ontario plates, CN tower, kensington market kinda give it away.

Here's to many more years of the Hip!

[TheSopo41]

Great song, as for the vid, as much as you may love BC ferries, the video is filmed in the Toronto area, huge snowbanks, Ontario plates, CN tower, kensington market kinda give it away.

Here's to many more years of the Hip!

[TheSopo41]

This vid is filmed in the Toronto area, not BC

[holyshitrock456]

man, loved the hip from the start and i will till the end. their music is deep

[thealmosthip]

This song is called The Last Recluse from the Tragically Hip's CD We Are The Same....

[Cifrocco]

What a cute Canadian girl.

[rockynanach]

love BC Ferries

[trammix]

What a really beautiful song. This is what music is for, perfect expression. And the video, brilliant!

[TheBecker011]

How is it possible for a band to be so simplistic, yet so complex at the same time. Lyrical and Musical gods. Tragically, They're Hip.

[shredderB100]

me too lol

[Jasn1111]

I'm surprised Bob Rock didn't over-produce this like everything else he's done over the last 20 years.

[askell711]

I really like this video. well done short movie. I can watch this video again and again...

[alfa1bravo1]

did anyone else call that phone number at 4:07?

i did lol

[JillianE93]

One of the best songs I've ever heard. So proud to be Canadian!

[Hobbgoblin1]

I've studied books on Canadian history and culture and people here don't understand my fascination with Canada. Most just think of Windsor because it's closest to the US, but Canada is HUGE, there is so much to see and it's breathtakingly beautiful. I love the winter time, Canadian rock, friendly people, I'd fit right in lol! I just don't know how I'm going to do it but it's my dream to finish my life there. I'm almost 40 so I'd better get on it! Thanks to everyone for the kind welcoming words.

[MrStanlee9]

@Hobbgoblin1 Hope your dream come true, my friend. All the best from the other side of the river ! I am 45 used to watch all the Leaf & Wing games. We are luck to see the Wings twice a year now ! Take care your friend from the great white North !!!!!!!!

[Hobbgoblin1]

@MrStanlee9 Thanks so much Stan, you da' man!

[mixmastaplaya]

@Hobbgoblin1 Thanks! We think so too!

[tnobbs13]

@Hobbgoblin1 yes brother

[LeBlunted]

@Hobbgoblin1 hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahah thats teh best comment ive seen in so long

[Hobbgoblin1]

The Tragically Hip are one of the greatest bands on earth... and this is coming from an American, in Detroit, who's African american, EASILY one of my top 3 bands of all times, running neck to neck with The Smiths!

[NewfieBullett]

@Hobbgoblin1 You sound pretty cool. I used to live in Windsor, but I live in Newfoundland now: The weather is way better where you live, but I could never leave the Ocean now. The Song "Gift Shop" by the Hip is about the first ice berg Gord Downie ever saw, here in Newfoundland.

Cheers.

[Hobbgoblin1]

@NewfieBullett Thanks friend, you're cool as well. Gift Shop is one of my favorite Hip songs but I've never know what it was about until now, thanks for the knowledge friend!

[NiagaraWarrior]

@NewfieBullett thats pretty cool, i never knew that either... i live in Niagara Falls, Ontario. honestly, after all these years that the video has been out, i never sought the meaning of it. i just assumed (when the video goes to NY, and the falls) that it was about how people could travel anywhere in the world and find a gift shop, lol!

[MrStanlee9]

@Hobbgoblin1 The under ground rail road buddy. were here for you friend ! LOL. All the best Brothers

[Hobbgoblin1]

@MrStanlee9 Stan thanks much, it's gotta happen, every day I stare at your beautiful country from across the Detroit river looking out of the office building at my job thinking to myself, 'Canada is my home', it's were I've wanted to be every since I was 14 years old. Used to watch TVOntario as a kid. Could barley pick up the signal but I still watched lol! Then I fell in love with Hockey and used to watch "Hockey Night in Canada" every chance I got. The US is just ok but Canada rules!!!!!!!!!

[esoo8]

@Hobbgoblin1

Thumbs up for Detroit is the best American CITY EVA (I'm from Windsor)

[Cifrocco]

Awesome band, great video, gorgeous babe in the video what an angel.

[WorldContainerTTH]

This is one of the best videos on Youtube. Too bad only 11,047 Canadians have watched this.

[Ghorum]

Does anyone else here think that kid in the diner looks like a hobbit?

Furthermore, favorite song on this album was the Depression Suite :D

[adrian719]

i LOVE the tragically hip and gord downie.

[lioman5]

nevermind justin bieber, or miley cyrus, or ke$ha, or ANY pop culture music. all i need is gord downie and his soft musical poetry. and maybe this girl in this vid :)

[captain00crash]

*tear*

[gotrdid86]

is that Gord's daughter in the vid?

[Hairspray24]

@gotrdid86 think it's his niece

[lesxejets]

she's trouble

you'll have a fight on your hands

three pistols at dawn

[funkyTownSnow]

@lesxejets

exactly what i was thinking...

never again...

[lesxejets]

@funkyTownSnow

together we were evil

apart nothing...

that's my story and i am sticking to it

[funkyTownSnow]

@lesxejets

..an art linked by thoughts of perfection

[mhansen2222]

"the Last Recluse" is the definetly one of the best musically and lyrically tracks of the past Decade.

[inthefiveonenine]

@mhansen2222 - The Last Recluse is nothing short of genius. The chord progression is pretty standard, however the color, shade and atmosphere if pure genius. This song is trapped in my top 5 Hip songs ever and definitely in my top 25 ever.

[bottomdogman]

I find it most comforting that Gord Downie is riding his bike thru our streets with those beautiful poems in his heart.

[cortinabob]

good old Toronto! <3

[gishuk]

coffee girl is such a great track

[scottawa33]

I think i'm in love wiht the girl from this video

[wovokanarchy]

That maybe the case but you have to seriously stop masterbating to her debut as a video star. She's getting scared.

[tylercox2]

@scottawa33 yup! Its the eyes...and the mono expression...mysterious!

[trucker11686]

@scottawa33 she's gorgeous

[mom24irishboys]

The videos just make some incredible songs just that more breathtaking. This song is one of my all time favourites and the video...there are not enough words of praise.

[santoslittlehelper06]

This video series is sad. The music was already melancholy, but I never thought that Coffee Girl was supposed to be a sad song.

This is why I love The Tragically Hip. They have so much to give the world, they have given the world so much, and I wouldn't want to imagine what life on Earth would be like without them.

[DylanSpoelstra]

There are only a few things i genuinly love in life, but TTH is definetly one of them, seen 9 of your shows and cant wait for the conversation and show with Lightfoot, keep up the incredible work guys, though im 100% youll never read this hahah

[HotButteredPoopcorn]

Ummmmm..... does it ever stop buffering and actually work?

[DeathAndTaxes80]

Absolutely love "The Last Recluse" and "Coffee Girl"
