Reaction to The Tragically Hip! Grace, Too Song Reaction! 

They are quite good!

Right!!!!!!!

The first step to being an honorary Canuck

My fandom has been a long time running. ;)

They are great Michael!!

They were huge in border cities,too,like Detroit and the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area.

I can only imagine. Thanks Scott!

We will get to another at some point. Thanks for the suggestions!

Sounds so fantastic!

Yes I did a lot of research on them and wow what an impact they had on you guys. We don't really have anyone like that in the States not in the past 40 years, wish we did. Thanks!

a tip : you can watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

@Cairo Gus Definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for months myself :D

Very very very well said

I read a ton of stuff when researching the album we reviewed that College Radio love them. Thanks for sharing and watching!

Interesting to hear BNL talk about trying to make it in the US . They said ‘ might as well write “Bare Naked Ladies” on $20 bills and throw them out the window’ to promote themselves at first because there’s so much competition. TH were Canadian to the soul and happy enough with that . Probably a big reason they were adored by everyone of a certain age group in Canada

I would bet, even for us it is so good! Thanks!

We will check it out. Thanks for watching!

Absolutely! And you have to watch ‘Scared’ . He looks at the camera and sings the lyric “it’s been a pleasure doing business with you” … I still well up thinking of it 😢

Thanks for watching dawn!

He was just so talented. Thanks Andre!

That is a great story! Thanks for sharing Phil!

@@ReactionsToTheClassics If you want a handle on Gord Downie and The Hip, you need to know about Gord's final solo project. This was The Secret Path. It consists of an album of songs, a graphic novel written by Gord and illustrated by renowned comix artist Jeff Lemire, an animated television film, and a package of instructional materials. It tells the story of Chanie Wenjack, a twelve-year-old Anishinaabe boy who ran away from a residential school in 1966 and attempted to walk 370 miles to his home in Ogoki Post, a First Nations village that is normally reachable only by bush plane. He died of hunger and exposure. Gord worked closely with the boy's surviving grown-up sisters. The Hip had previously performed in remote (and clearly unprofitable) First Nations communities and worked with musicians there [see the song "Goodnight Attawapiskat"]. These are places I know well, and I can assure you that Canada's First Nations have overwhelming love and respect for The Hip. The Secret Path had a tremendous impact, which has become even more powerful after the recent discovery of the unmarked graves of children at sites of abandoned residential schools, places where Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian and other churches attempted to crush aboriginal children's spirits and "beat the Indian out of them" ---- with a blind eye and financing from the government. It is now used as a teaching tool in grade schools across the country. The next generation in Canada will grow up knowing all about little Chanie Wenjack, and this alone is enough to earn Gord Downie's place in our hearts.

Wow that is a great cause, didn't know any of that. Really appreciate you taking the time to share.

Thanks for watching pam hunter!

Yes we were not familiar with them until recently, quite the find for us, Thanks Jim!

Well said!

Oh wow that is awesome! Thanks!

haha creative Patrick!

Thanks for watching Eric!

Thanks Abbie we appreciate you watching!

Doesn’t get any better than sitting around a fire with a beer buzz, smelling like deep woods off and listening to the hip.

That is fantastic!

GREAT story! Thanks for sharing Todd!

Thanks Doc hope to see you tonight in the stream!

Reactions To The Classics ...I’ll be there....always a good time.

@@ReactionsToTheClassics what time do y'all stream?

6pm CST

We really enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Yes as a Canadian.........Thank you!!!!!!

They were brought to us by a Patron, great find for us!

Cannot sleep on their later albums either... "Now for Plan A" and "Man Machine Poem" are both such great albums. I definitely agree drawing the similarity to Michael Stipe. You know the lyrics are full of meaning, but they're also difficult to parse out the "original meaning".

Have seen it great stuff

Thanks Debbie they were a great find for us! Appreciate you!

We will check it out. Thanks Meyers!

Yes we have seen that, great stuff! Thanks for watching!

Really appreciate the kind words!!!! Thanks for watching @ontarioguyincalgary4845!

Thanks David!

haha thanks Josh

Thanks Black Spurr really appreciate that!

Thanks for watching!

They are great, have a couple of song reactions and an album reaction of them so far. Thanks!

Great point!

We plan on it. Thanks Carter!

Have a top 10 of them coming up next month!

@@ReactionsToTheClassics Thank you for your reactions. All I can say as a Canadian is their songs marinated into my soul. They bring a sense of comfort and evoke a strong emotion like coming back to your home town after many years away. I tear up every time I hear "It's a good life if you don't weaken"...what an amazing song! Thank you

Fantastic info and backstory! Thanks for sharing it BMac!

Thanks for watching 1 Life 2 Live!

Great suggestion! Thanks for watching Gerald!

We have up Fully Completely and a top 10. They are great! Thanks Christine!

... every album had a 'sound'. my fave is 'trouble at the henhouse'.

They were great!

haha thanks!!

We will check it out! Thanks!

ok

Thanks Kev

Thanks for Watching! We love the Hip!

i bet

We will check that one out as well, Thanks Michael

We will give it a listen. Thanks Josh!

haha that is a GREAT way to put it! Thanks Michael!

Yes they are Tedd! Thanks!

Thanks for watching Steve!

Thanks Sean really appreciate it!, Have some Sloane, of course Neil, More Hip, Ron Sexsmith, Bruce Cockburn, upcoming Joel Plaskett, Kathleen Edwards, just off the top of my head.

@@ReactionsToTheClassics All great choices. All my favs except maybe Sloane. Ron is a jewel who never made it big. But a lot of his songs were done by others. Sexsmith's songs have been performed and recorded by a number of well-known musicians, including Elvis Costello, Feist, Rod Stewart, and Emmylou Harris among others. Very respected in the industry.

Yes he is great, we have his debut up and 3 different Selections of his consisting of 15-16 songs each. Huge fans!

Thanks for Watching!

Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching Michael Borland!

Reactions To The Classics no problem, sorry for sending so many messages but the hip are a big deal in Canada. If you guys are interested in how much that is, check out ahead by a century last live performance. It was played on national tv and people gathered all over the country to watch.

But we react to the studio version first, then you move on to the live. Must see how it was imagined first. That is how we do it, if that is not for you, you don't need to watch.

@@ReactionsToTheClassics All good. Just letting you know. Gord (lead singer) would often go off on Jim Morrison-esque tangents of poetry and spoken word when playing live. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iJjmYa16kVk.html

We have a whole album review up as well. Thanks Bruce!

@@ReactionsToTheClassics Yeah I stumbled across it after watching this one! Also LOVED the Blue Rodeo ones you did, another favorite band of mine!

Really appreciate the suggestion and thanks for watching S Rennie!

Better than the original

Thanks for checking this out Poet!

Thanks Jmi, we are going to get to more of the Hip and throw some Rush in there as well. Stay safe!

Thanks for Watching!

@@ReactionsToTheClassics It would mean the world if you guys could do a reaction video to watching "The Stranger" from Gord Downie's (The Tragically Hip lead singer) solo album just before he passed "Secret Path". It's an important story that Gord wanted to share; and that I feel we, as Canadians, should share to help keep ourselves accountable.
