@HMan2828 2 года назад

The title of the song, and the line "I'm not Cordelia, I will not be there" is a reference to the Shakespeare play King Lear. Cordelia is the youngest daughter of King Lear, and his favourite. When he asks his three daughters to make professions of love to him, two of his daughters shower him with praises to suck up to him, but Cordelia does not. She is honest, and just declares "Unhappy that I am, I cannot heave / My heart into my mouth. I love your majesty / According to my bond; no more nor less." As a result King Lear banishes her from the kingdom, and cuts her off from the throne. She goes on to marry the King of France. At the end of the play, King Lear is rejected by his two other daughters, and goes mad. Cordelia returns with the intention to help her father, King Lear by then is too mad to recognize her, but she forgives him for banishing her, stays by his side, and takes care of him. Then the story villain, Edmund, arrives, seizes the throne, send King Lear and Cordelia to prison, and she is ultimately hanged. "I'm not Cordelia, I will not be there" means he's not as ready to forgive and forget...

@maluorno 2 года назад

thanks! I always wondered the details of the reference

@michaelccozens 2 года назад

I'd even suggest that it's him drawing a line; "If you insist on self-destruction, even though I love you, I won't share your meaningless death".

Gordy was a modern day Shakespeare - thanks

@HMan2828 2 года назад

@@maluorno Here's another one: "Threading the boards, screaming out "MacBeth!" Just to see how much bad luck you really get" Is a reference to the fact that speaking the word "MacBeth" on stage in a theater is a grave omen of bad luck. The superstition began at the play's very first performance (circa 1606) when the actor scheduled to portray Lady Macbeth died suddenly and Shakespeare was forced to replace him. Then over the years other mishaps attributed to the curse happened, like real daggers being used instead of props, leading to deaths on stage. In 1849 in New York, two competing productions of MacBeth, with American actor Edwin Forrest and English actor William Charles Macready, caused the famous Astor Place Riot, and resulted in at least 20 deaths and over 100 injuries. Other productions also had a slew of bad luck incidents, including actors falling off the stage, mysterious deaths, and stage counterweights falling on actors.

@joshrowland4334 Год назад

@@HMan2828 One more bit I learned: the opening line "angst on the planks" may refer to Gord's time during high school when he was involved in the drama program. The direct line might refer to "showing angst" (acting) on the "planks" of the stage. I picked that up from an Alan Cross interview with Canadian punk rocker Hugh Dillon (The Headstones) who was in the same classes as Gord, and he references the line in the Headstone's song "Kingston" - their hometown.

The Hip (as they're known in Canada, where they're from) have been super popular since the 90's. They are one of my favorite bands! New Orleans is sinking is one of my favorites as well! If you haven't already, please check out "Blow at high dough". It's probably my favorite Hip song. Thanks for covering this one! They're a really great band. This album came out way back in 1991! I didn't know until now, that the lead singer, Gord Downy died of brain cancer in 2017, since I live in the US now and we get almost zero Canadian news. 😭 What a loss to the world!

@seansaville5664 2 года назад

@MrsRealistic 2 года назад

@@seansaville5664 That's when they formed. They didn't become super well known until around '89. But they became the best selling Canadian band between '96-2016. That's neither here nor there tho.

@@MrsRealistic Correct, their first real album wasn't even until 1989 (they technically had an EP in 1987, but it didn't really chart). Up to Here was their first album and that came out in '89. Blow at High Dough is pretty much when people first heard them outside of playing bars in Kingston and that wasn't until April 1989. They hit number 9 with Up to Here, but their next album Road Apples was number 1 in 1991 (which is where Cordelia is from). So, they've been popular since at least 1989 and definitely since 1991. Day for Night was 6x Platinum selling and is probably their highest selling album and that was 1994.

The Tragically Hip are under-rated masters of their craft, which was just about any damned thing they set their minds to. They were also hardcore activists from the get-go, helping to defend the Indigenous land and irreplaceable ancient rainforest of Clayoquot Sound in British Columbia from rapacious clearcutting, and doing so in the early '90s, when much of the Western world hadn't yet woken-up to the fast-approaching ecological disaster we're currently making self-fuelling (good luck, kids! We fucked you over hardcore! You're welcome!). The forest still stands today, and it is awe-inspiring. The Hip are who I wanna be. Edit: Loving the hat, Lex! Also want to note that Gord and the Hip loved to play with audiences at their gigs. They would go on wild impromptu tangents, explore new sounds in established tunes, etc. It was like a combo of rock and jazz, at times. The well of their creativity was bottomless. I'm not sure there's been a day in the decades since I first heard the Hip that their music hasn't gone through my head. They are the subtle knife that finds the bone. Kinda like having your skeleton scrimshawed while you're still using it.

I watch a lot of your reactions. Glad to see you're checking out the Tragically Hip. They were considered Canada's "bar band." (I asked someone in the music biz here why the Hip never really made it the US. He said, "they already have R.E.M. down there and there's no room for another one.") Really glad you checked out Cordelia. It's not one of the very well known songs they did but I think it's my favourite Hip song because of its twang, punch and Gord Downie's obscure lyrics. (I sing along in the car to this one.)

In Shakespeare's play 'King Lear', Cordela was the daughter of King Lear that stuck by his side when his other daughters tried to overthrow him. In the song he's proclaiming he's not like her. I read this explanation of the song meaning written by someone named 'Blackstrip': "Thematically, this song seems to deal with taking unnecessary risks, just for the thrill or the gratification that comes from telling yourself you're pulling off something dangerous. Seeing how high up you are on the bridge, jumping from the train, shouting 'Macbeth' in a theatre (which superstition says will ruin the performance), the thief who has to stay in the house a minute too long just to get one more thing, etc. Gordie adds some clever twists in too. The bull trying to figure out if he hates the cape or the guy who's audacious enough to taunt him with it. And the chorus suggests all this behaviour is tied to a need to not owe anything to anyone else."

Cordelia was King Lear's youngest, and favourite, daughter. After asking his three daughters to profess their love for him in order for him to decide how to divvy up his land for their inheritance, while both Goneril and Regan spew lavish amounts of their dedication to him, Cordelia just says "Love, and be silent". This enrages Lear, and he banishes her. Years later, she returns and forgives him despite his betrayal. Due to madness brought on by the rejection he felt from being rejected by Goneril and Regan, Lear is unable to recognize Cordelia. Eventually, he does, but it's too late. They're both sent to prison by Edmund, and Cordelia is hanged.

@phishfan 4 месяца назад

I've always thought that "Spittin' from a bridge" in this song is referring to tempting fate or feeling desperate (as many other lines in this song seem to allude to, like the line about Macbeth; it's considered bad luck to say Macbeth in a theatre, so screaming it is tempting fate)- the line before "spittin'" is "Angst on the planks", so the narrator is saying he feels anxious or distressed on the bridge and is thinking of jumping, and spits over to see how far down it really is.

They had a 20-some-year career. Gord Downey died way too young, man. One of the greatest front men I've ever seen live. FWIW, Cordelia is also a character in Margaret Atwood's book Cat's Eye.

Check out 38 years old by the Hip. It’s a true story about their “hometown Shame”. Beautifully emotional. R.I.P Gord

@robertembury6094 2 года назад

The Hip was always able to tap into that Canadian angst ,the darker side of Canada. Past the generalities of the polite Canadian ,knowing that if look for trouble ,you will find it.

@HMan2828 2 года назад

Guys, It's clear you like The Hip, please listen to the bootleg recording of Highway Girl (double suicide rant). It's a perfect example of how amazing this band was like, and how Gord goes into a side story rant... That's a short example too, I saw them live around 15 times, and sometimes the improvised rants and stories would go on for half an hour in the middle of a song.

I am very pleased to see you discover the genius of Gord Downie. More Hip please, too many great songs for me to list or choose from. I am sure others will suggest many. Thank you Brad & Lex!

Nice hat Lex, looking forward to you guys exploring many more Canadian bands. Look at old school as well as new, we Canadians enjoy many genres of music.

Gord was a poet who put it to music. Brilliant, edgy and different. One of Canada’s treasure.

@joshrijvers 2 года назад

38 Years old is one of their best. You should also do their last performance before Gord died.

@brianesbaugh6897 9 месяцев назад

Without a doubt…Gordie was one of the most brilliant lyricists in music history…ever! His brilliance was that he painted an incredible visceral image that was completely unique to each person. What was that song saying to you?! Different for every single person. That was his brilliance

@joesmith8725 2 года назад

Cool. Sounds very southern rock for a Canadian band.

@onepieceofgumleft 2 года назад

If you think this is southern sounding for a Canadian band , you should check out another Canadian band , The Sheepdogs “I Don’t Know”. That song is “really” southern sounding.

@eyeexaggerate7687 2 месяца назад

So This was great, the band was phenomenal and Gord was - a real artist. I got to see the farewell tour, grateful about that. So, the he is looking for logic (Logos) and she is feeling (Eros). Gord’s lyrics were not purposely vague, he wrote from the collective unconscious (ideas that rest in potential and not quite formed) and that accounts for having to figure them out. All the greats did this.
