    Such a brilliant song. I really can't think of anything like it: the singing bass sound, the etheral guitar, the simple yet magical narrative.

    When it started out in the middle of NOIS at the break it was such a cool 180 right when you kicked into Escape. In Rochester when you did this the house speakers all went offline and all that was left were your monitors for about 5 minutes until you transitioned to Put It Off and back to NOIS.

    One of your guys best songs that’s a cool guitar riff you’re fantastic bass player Gore. I never did get to see the Hip live which I’m really sad about. However, music lives on forever. I’ll always be a huge fan. Thank you for everything you have done and everything you guys still do.

    I'm so sad to have never seen the band live. I sing along to the best of hip on Spotify everyday while doing flooring work, customers haven't kicked me out yet lol. My heart is set on a Tragic Tribute ! Just need a band! I host karaoke in kirkland lake and open every week with a double shot of the Hip. Singing with you guys is on the top of my bucket list! We miss you all too!

    I so miss Gord Downie and the Hip. I know no one can ever replace him but I think a nice and interesting idea might be to do a charity concert or tour with guest singers to raise money to combat brain cancer. I could definitely see a hunger for this amongst loyal fans like myself as a way of remembering and paying tribute to Gord Downie.

    I never thought of someone finger picking on a bass. ❤. I painstakingly taught myself to fingerpick on my first guitar when I was 13. 😊 By ear and repeatedly lifting the needle on my record player over and over until I felt I figured a song out. It was well worth the effort. But really I never knew you fingerpicked that bass guitar to get that sound for that song. Fantastic!

    • @StreetPreacherr
      @StreetPreacherr 24 дня назад

      I think it's probably actually MORE common for bass players to use their fingers? Electric bass just evolved from the acoustic 'stand-up' Double Bass, which is almost exclusively played with fingers. It's also why you'll sometimes you'll even see a FRETLESS electric bass!

    • @coffeegirl6854
      @coffeegirl6854 21 день назад

      @@StreetPreacherr oh yeah I know. But the finger picking pattern being played on this song is more of the pattern style usually used on an acoustic guitar. (For example a travis style picking).
