New Orleans Is Sinking - Up to Here - The Tragically Hip

[25svbn]

First time I ever heard this song, was in New Orleans.

[ThePyroHobo]

First album I ever had and is still my favourite band of all time

[SunnyOta711]

Like the video, idk about the lyrics. It's so true & sad! But I can't believe he drank Mike the goldfish on accident!!! hahaha

[monkeyflingingpooh]

If you ain't feelin' that guitar you're dead!

[starkomanchild]

gordo and the boys fucking ROCK!

[komonhoih]

every song on this album is amazing!!!!

[DingerS80]

hey jaymosworld, i dont think you have a clue what your talking about man. i was @ moncton for that particular show and New Orleans was never played.grace too,music @ work,fully completely,nautical disaster, poets,no threat,wheat kings,hundredth meridian,summers killing us,blow@high dough, and little bones were all that were played at that show sorry pal!!

[red69head1979]

so when new orleans is sinking not one radio station would play this song how weird but what the hell all of us canadians were singing it in ....hell ya!!!!

[charliedagger1]

@red69head1979 at least WXRT 93.1 Chicago was, and they still play the Hip to this day...always sponsor/promote the live shows in Chicago, too

[MyThrillKillKult]

Sweet song.,,

[bogus67]

We love you HIP in IDAHO

[60djdon]

[pens1166]

[Jarcoreta]

i was living a month in kitchener, Ontario, and i discovered this fucking amazing song... i love canada.

[jaymosworld]

I rember them playin this in Moncton Canada a couple years ago, when the Rolling Stones were in town... It was right after Katrina.. We couldnt believe they played it !!! BUT some glad they did.. This song is the shiiiiiiiiit

[Rodjerico]

[pens1166]

lemkyy your banned from ontario too

[IamDayoldHate]

just to clear this up, this song is about the scuttling of the uss new orleans a heavy cruiser back in the 1950's not the city.

[joecobra1234]

Lemkyy your fucking face is banned in newyork

[thuderbay]

Weed,downtown vancouver and this song boom booming the shit out of your wheels go together.

[fropen]

weed, downtown Saskatoon and this song blasting the windows out of your ride go together like toast and jam as well

[thuderbay]

yea,that's right.

[ScooterandSparky]

Also works well cruising in a boat along the River in the 1000 islands :)

[oogabooga99]

hahahahaha yessssssssss. can say ive done it.

[Lemkyy]

this song is banned in new orleans.

[ihitterdal]

...No. It's not. It was simply pulled from the airwaves for a short time, if I am thinking straight.

[DonnaDavid426]

COME BACK

[DonnaDavid426]

never get tired of this song or this band...absolutely awesome...wish I could have seen them when they played at the Office downtown Thunder Bay rather than a concert setting

[bluiznmotion]

fuk yeah...put your hands in my river...

[anthonyconrod]

Sometimes the faster it gets

The less you need to know

[mitchjamone]

this song is for all the catts and dogs of new orleans.

[QuitCamper]

this is the most ironic song to ever have been written

[ExileCanadaMetal]

this and miami 2017 (billy joel).

both great songs.

best canadian band along with rush.

[QuitCamper]

More New Orleans Here, type in -

The Day New Orleans Stood Still

[Killenmachine05]

kingston R.E.P.

[footballchelsea10]

the hip fuckin rock

[oilersfan30]

Well known? not many, the guess who are Canadian i think, same with Bryan Adams. Loverboy i guess, Some of Tom Cochranes songs are known, but he himself isnt that well known... And of course the shame of Canada, Nickleback, as well as Avril Lavine and Celine Dion

[Killenmachine05]

what about rush

[narkosys]

The Guess Who are from Winnipeg.

[Opinionator]

Or Alanis Morrisette. U can have her back.

[renaud68]

umm, leonard cohen? The band? Neil Fucking Young?

[renaud68]

lets not forget about arcade fire as well

[Geolaw1]

Great tune, but the hip has grown soooooo much since then. And every album they put out is better than their last. Highlights: Day for Night, Phantom Power, World Container.

[Herbuliss]

A Great Canadian Band....God Love Them...H.

[revoluketion]

my hands in the river.....my feet back up on the bank......(looks up to the lord above)

HEY MAN! THANX!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DangerassPRODUCTIONS]

im canadian but ill admit theres not really any good famous bands around here that i like,but these guys and rush

[ManYouLoveToHate]

The Tea Party are good aswell.

[bloodspilla69er]

tea party makes my ears bleed. probably the hips best song

[feoinfunroe]

Pure prophecy.

[M0RIN94]

This song would be effin deadly to play on Guitar Hero! I dont kno if it already is tho, cuz I havent played in a long time :( haha...

[MvAgustaF4RR3121078]

XD but still it would be

[theroadrunner188]

[Frankii3]

the tragicaly hip ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MvAgustaF4RR3121078]

PFFTAHAHAAAA fuck you man

[MKSBEMA]

I think that Gordon Downie would get his ass kicked if he opened his set with this one in N'oleans.

[Kieran84ire]

New Orleans is Sinking and I don't wanna Swim.

[1988scottcarey]

it's more like three days grace avril lavigne finger eleven faber drive billy talent rush silverstien and alot more! and some girls that do pop too they sound better then american bands go canada

[M0RGANO]

only 2 of these artists/bands even have some talent tho... billy talent and 3 days grace

and dont forget the fox seeds...incura, state of shock etc.

[MaidenTheater]

Are you insane? Only a true moron says that Rush doesn't have talent...

[M0RGANO]

[FatherTomasino]

I finally found the real video for this song! All I've been finding are these bullshit Katrina videos. This song came out 20 years before that crap!

[BRENTHENRY1989]

nice 1979 ford f150 at the start

[feoinfunroe]

I can relate to every word of this song. Thank you, Jonie!!!

[Jayz5000333]

[feoinfunroe]

"she loves me, she loves me not..."

DANCE THE SIDEWALK CLEAN???

My Saviour...this song is a prophecy of my life...darn those Canooks!!!

[Hobbes000]

Speak for yourself. I hate hippies, and I'm a proud Canuck. ;)

[thegirl44]

Foo Fighters

Our Lady Peace

Radiohead

[zoomzoomkid11]

[ryanandbranslurppiss]

April Wine, Trooper

[M0RGANO]

weezer isnt from canada...theyre from L.A.

[MyThrillKillKult]

lol

[bequietanddrive1988]

I dont know what the conversation is about but i cant tell you right now Oasis and Radiohead are not Canadian by any means lol

[hotstuffatvolcano]

how about Kim Mitchell

[Steeveriffic]

Kim Mitchell... nice. Foo Fighters, Weezer and Radiohead aren't Canadian and neither is Oasis (thank GOD). But it was in Canada where Noel Gallagher was recently attacked onstage. But there's also: The New Pornographers Stars Sarah Harmer Odds Neil Young Rascalz The Tea Party Sam Roberts Blue Rodeo Cowboy Junkies

[Jottell1]

and there's also:

Bachman Turner Overdrive

Jeff Healey (RIP) :-(

Allanah Myles

[davekat]

Arcade Fire Stars those two bands alone trump any American bands except Green Day Silversun Pickups Sonic Youth R.A.T.M. a couple others... but Arcade Fire! what American band even comes close??

[loserchick343]

I personally REALLY dont like Arcade Fire (by the way I'm Canadian......not American so I'm not some weird hater :P)

[davekat]

that's ok

it's not like it's a political issue

remember:

vote early, vote often!

[MikeRoscope]

the arcade fire are kind of and acquired taste.

[davekat]

for those with taste

in the first place

:)

[kylieBBQ]

Green Day?

Srsly?

XD

And Sublime beats em.

[davekat]

sadly, Sublime is gone

but like everything else,

a musical favourite list is subjective

to each their own

...wouldn't want it any other way

[r0xorsboxers]

Can't believe you forgot Rush.

[Makonu2]

UMMM Rush.... helloooooooooo?!?!?

[killjimmz9]

guys.... buck 65? metric? sloan?

[Killenmachine05]

no.. just.. no....

[HG200]

Man, whoever said Rush sucked needs to get his/her head checked. 2112 oh yeah!!!!

[bkleingrafix]

Rush sucks... extremely overrated band.

Billy Talent.... HAS NONE!

The Guess Who rocks.. The Hip have some good tunes too.

[Tyson201212]

Rush Kicks ass dude

[bkleingrafix]

like I said - - overrated.

[Killenmachine05]

know what

you can just go die

noone likes you

[calebboy74]

Awesome Video!!! Classic!!! HAVE GOOD MOSH PITTING!!!

[sgtsundae]

lol dude i can name 3 famous bands from canada

Rush

Tragically Hip

Billy Talent

[XSmokeyMcPottX]

All awesome bands, But I would not put billy talent up there with the Hip or Rush.

lets try...April Wine...Neil Young....Sam Roberts...The Guess Who. Theres alot better then emo billy talent

[Spartiala]

Was this song originally by the tragically hip? I would have thought it was a much older song.

[southbeachlovee]

what year is this

[morning40oz]

saw these guys in the early 90's. Who'da thunk? New Orleans is on the upswing now, though. The people have the fortitude to make it happen despite the debacled politics that scourge us.

[Quetzie21]

Hey everyone New Orleans is RISIN' again, yes....I love this group!!!!

[spenner10]

Rush is definately one of the best bands to come out of canada but so is BTO and the hip are up there to

[IwanabeAreservist]

love this song!

[ifyoufly]

Did you know that there is actually more than two bands from Canada? Headfull of Nothing is one.

[7flies4U]

oh shut up!!!!!!

[xladystardustx]

Wait.. Can you even compare the Barenaked Ladies to the Hip?! Ugh, what is wrong with the world?!

[megamyers]

so whos better? the hip or the naked ladies? canadian band post

imo, tied, but the hip had the better concert, i mean gord is fuctA for real. but the ladies have charm to boot

[SeniasOsearix]

Not the best band to hail from Canada.

Actually....the only good tune these guys ever came out with in my opinion....

What happened?

[xladystardustx]

Best band to come out of Canada! And one of my favorite songs ever. Too bad New Orleans really did sink, the radio stations at home didn't play this song for at least a year.

[coolmanbrock]

dont get me wrong i looooooooove tragically hip but the best band to come out of canada is definately without a doubt ur foolish for not thinking this RUSH

[xladystardustx]

Oh man, Rush is definitely way up there!! They are both amazing, and proudly Canadian!

[coolmanbrock]

haha i can gladly agree to that :D

[Loopyloopycat]

My fav all time song!

From my hometown...Kingston!

[dyslexicluck]

I like the party where he says "shut your big mouth" you've got to do what you feel is real.

[marleekc]

i love this song

[darksayese]

the best canadian band there is

[TAG037]

they ARE the best

[darksayese]

well od course

[drcanehdian]

[natemolenda]

[MattTrevithickMovies]

Amazing 1989 and they made this song.

16 years later and it happened...well it flooded.

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Some real crazy Kanucks!

[cinchbassist]

Haven't seen this video in years. I just love the raw energy of this song. Still one of my all-time favs. I used to have hair like that back in the day too. My band does a cover version of this tune. You can check it out at thesoundradio. com under "Cinch band" if you wish. Peace.

[59ninja]

Look at the hair....awesome song...luv every time you play it.

[AverageAdam]

Great song, and one of their best. Saw The Hip in concert in Moncton back in 2005, and this song wasn't played because New Orleans was underwater at the time.

[RideMyBMW]

Proto-grunge...that´s what this is: Proto-grunge.

[Herbuliss]

OH Fucking Mama..... H .

[skydivebaby]

HAHAHAHA. . .not sure why I brought that up but who cares uh cuz Hip is fantastic and music speaks for itself.

[newfiemale25]
