54-40 Since When

[micfiends]

MOONPATROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[weirdscience85]

One of my favourite songs from 1998

[nanotech2006]

my right ear is lonely

[gun4hire]

The official video release is in mono?...

[bootht99]

So I went and saw them live last night. AMAZING! So glad I went

[jkjkjkish]

i heard this song on the radio when i was having a shitty day at work and it brought a smile to my face i hadn't heard this song in a long while and it really brightened my day thank you 54/40 ... oh yea on a side note my friend is friends with the second guitarist's son haha

[MizzBizz49]

Are they all the same original members now?

[arejayseeottawa]

Great song, great video! It reminds me of something I'd see on, say, CBC-TV's "Music Hop" shows back in the '60's!

Happy July 1st to one & all!

[icbrkr]

I have the strangest urge to play Moon Patrol when I hear this.

[thePOOF69]

why the hell do their songs have bearly any views? they are fuckin magnificent eh?

[MrLorenscott]

the hip the trews big sugar and 54-40 rock wish they come to NY

[mosport78]

The other Great Canadian Neil

[dfbhcf]

They sound like a combination of Big Sugar and The Tragically Hip.

[vanhalendlrband]

@dfbhcf I think they're more their own sound then a mashup of stuff like most stuff comin out of the recording industry these days. I really find that they have a truly West Coast Vancouver song. Like seriously get in your car and drive around Vancouver listening to them and you can just feel it's from this area, and unlike Tragically Hip, they're amazing live. Big Sugar i find is way too bluesy to even be mentioned in the same breath. 54/40 is really Vancouver unlike Nickelback.

[dfbhcf]

@vanhalendlrband What are you talking about? The Hip are great live too. And Big Sugar and 54-40 do sound slightly similar. Listen to "Turn the Lights on" after this. You'll hear a similar sound.

[vanhalendlrband]

@dfbhcf I can hear maybe a slightly similar sound on Turn The Lights on. But i find 54-40's vocals make it too different though. I found Big Sugar to be very bluesy, "If I had my way" babababa babababa. Either way we both agree they're awesome. I always hear the hip sucked live up until 2 years ago, so maybe they've finally improved that part. I've seen them live before and i was like what the hell?

[Maxmulham]

@vanhalendlrband Goes for a lot of Canadian bands. Kim Mitchell really suits Southern Ontario. Rock and Hyde suits Vancouver Island. Grapes of Wrath suits the Okanagan. Tragically Hip (while ultimately Canadian) strongly suits Eastern Ontario. Even the English band Arcade Fire has a strong Montreal feeling to their songs. Nickelback, not my taste of music, should have stayed in Calgary! 

[BackstreetTammy]

GREAT show tonight at the MOlson Amp!! It was soooo good to hear those songs again.

[hatmap]

Probably Canada's second greatest band, after Rush. Really underrated and underappreciated even in Canada.

[guyfidelity]

@hatmap spot on, underrated for sure.

[dparas25]

These guys are very good, keep it up.

[Hipfan01]

NEVER EVER get sick of this song and I've never seen a bad 54-40 show. I'm so lucky to live close to the Canadian border and have seen them many many times

[gmann1959]

Vancouver 2003....cruisin with my dad..this is for Nolan and his family!...and thinking of my daughter!

[Maxmulham]

LOL. I also drove by that parkade in West Vancouver. Good times.

[Hipfan01]

54-40 NEVER disappoints live...

[antblue363]

Unique

[Millst0ne]

[gordonculp]

[AngelTheFallen]

[pappydinksmoms]

[precioushuggs]

[sCARRANO]

amazing band, & real good live. ;)

[precioushuggs]

[Braktooth]

Great song from a great band. Canucklehead, you're right. Big Sugar was awesome, I really miss that band.

[canucklehead2004]

some of the catchiest piano chords eva, and incredible rythm to it. and yeah big sugar is unreal as well! maybe the most underrated canadian band out there

[antblue363]

Listen, ahh TEMPO!

[Secondcube]

I drove by that building the other day in West Vancouver. I just had to take my picture there.

[Secondcube]

54-40 or ROCK!

[canucklehead2004]

The hip are the best Canadian Band ever along with the Guess Who, but 54-40 are the icing on the cake

[carouselambraSS]

Big Sugar definitely deserves a nod in terms of great Canadian bands.

[Millst0ne]

Please dont forget to put Rush into this category : )

[sofndfkj]

good ol' canadian rock!!

[polite777]

I love them

[leafan519]

54-40 is amazing i saw them live at a free concert they were unbelieveable, they have never recieved the commerical success and recoginition they deserve, especially in the states,alot like the hip in that respect

[melatoguy]

i've been looking for this song since i was 13(1998) THANK YOUUUUUU!

[Maxmulham]

This song really should be more popular than just 4,600 views. If an american band did a cover of this song. It would go big.

[Maxmulham]

OMG! I've been trying to remember this song for a such a long time! I remember seeing this vid when I was 6. I had no idea they were Canadian. I'm Canadian. I always mistaken these guys for some british band like The Who. Once I stumbled across this song, I looked up the rest, this song has such a different tone from the rest. ROCK 101 always plays these guys on the air, just not this song. That's whats been stopping me from remembering.

[bootht99]

@Maxmulham i'm totally in the same boat as you! i read your comment, and was like "this song sounds familiar, but i dont know why you've been looking for it...". That was until I heard the chorus and was like FUCK YA!

[Maxmulham]

@bootht99 LOL. When I posted this comment 3 years ago, I remember doing as much investigating as I can to find this song. It took me awhile. A couple local references and 200 yahoo answer questions later, I finally figured it out. Kinda sad really. Just goes to show how underrated these guys really are!

[bootht99]

@Maxmulham no kidding eh. people need to be more aware of the music they produce. They are playing next week in Brandon, Mb which is only an hr from me. I think I'm going to try and get tickets! With the Hip being my first concert i've ever been to, I'd love for 5440 to be my 2nd.

[antblue363]

I LIKE It.YEAH BABY!

[randomusername2000]

great tune

i remember looking forward to seeing this video on muchmusic back in the day

[Gitaboo]

I agree cjuntrin. Great Canadian band -- love this song I hadn't realised "I Go Blind" belonged to them.

[cjuntrin]

Up there with the Hip as one of Canada's most important rock bands

[9ReaperX]

yea but the hip takes the cake. When you got CANCON in your lyrics...you take the cake

[chrissybabe1973]

54-40 is the best  band EVER! see them live alreadyy!!

[tlm315]

[grecomic]

[bonk2000]

[darrelljoe]
