Gord Downie studied film for a short time at Queen's university which is where "Day for Night" came from. He said that this rant was from a screenplay that he wrote while in school.
1. Some of those lyrics would wind up in Locked in the Trunk of a Car. 2. You know, my 83-year old mother and I will still sometimes say to each other "and we'd laugh" spoken just like Gordie did there. Maybe it's a southern Ontario thing?
I LOVE TRAGICALLY HIP 💙 SOOO FREAKIN UNIQUE!! AWESOME REACTION RORY 💙 AND THANK YOU SCOTT OR ELIZABETH OR BOTH FOR THIS AWESOME REQUEST 😊 🩷 🤘 ✌️ 🎭 SUICIDE IS A HARD SUBJECT, BEEN HERE DONE THAT. RIP GORDIE DOWNIE!! 😇
This is very early Hip (like the kind of stuff I would have heard when I first saw them over 35 years ago). Great song and much better performed live (of course). PS - Come to think of it, each of the songs you named as your favourite, rocky stuff comes from their first five years.
Awesome reactions Rory, new subscriber here. I have been following your trip with the Hip. You need to hear Locked In The Trunk Of A Car. This will make perfect sense after hearing this suicide rant on highway girl! Also check out Killer Whale Tank live at the Roxy, for the best Gord Downie rant ever! Cheers bro!
Genuine reaction. How about 3 Pistols, Nautical Disaster, Bobcaygeon, Wheat Kings about David Milgard falsely imprisoned at 16 years old for over 20 years until DNA absolved him

Great reaction. So awesome to see how much you "get" Gord and enjoy the Hip! ❤
Greatest band of all time. Never stop going through the Hip stuff!

If you liked this you'll love New Orleans Is Sinking (The Killer Whale Tank Version)
All week I have been listening to this song it rocks lol
This was from the famous Roxy show from 1991. They finally released this show with the Road Apples 30th Anniversary box set last year.

Finally I found someone doing the best hip song. Gord was such a presence live.

The video of this is worth a watch. Gord was electric just riffing stream of consciousness that leaked into a later songs.
I loved this reaction. I love the take on the two masks tragedy and comedy. Excellent
and to think this was one of their very first songs (from their first ep)
Love your reactions
Yeahhh!!! This the good stuff!!😁😁😁😁🔥
So Fucking good! Love that version!
Have checked out the studio versions of Eldorado and Fully Completly yet?
Can u help me to find more of this rock style? This genre is perfectly for me

Time for Shamu next
Your insights are always so interesting and spot on.
Awesome 😎
Got to listen to the killerwhaletank rant. Takes this to another level.
I've seen them many times, Gord was a Demigod every damn time!
A poet
One of my favorite Hip summer night drive songs 👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rory - check the Tragically Hip’s youtube page for a brand new remastered release of a live version of Highway Girl. I immediately thought of you
I use that burning bag of shit line all the time
