Tragically Hip, The Fireworks Comments
  1. H.... O....

    breaks my heart

  2. i.... ....

    Cameron is an inherently flawed individual who needs to realign his priorities to spend more time with Silas and be a Dad.

  3. c.... ....

    Love for The Hip and all Hip fans... from America. We understand that 1972 goal.

    c.... ....

    And we north of the border remember a certain miracle on ice back in 1980. Cheers bud.

  4. s.... ....

    "You held my hand as we walked home the long way and you loosened my grip on Bobby Orr." That is Jim Morrison level poetry.

  5. K.... S....

    God how does the hip keep getting better as each year passes.

  6. M.... H....

    <3 still my favorite band

  7. t.... ....

    This song changed the 'Hip for me. Before this, I thought of them as dirty rock that - despite the quality - was music for thoughtless or drunk jocks & jerks. This one really let me hear with new ears. Made me a fan. Great rock with great lyrics. Could listen to this all day.

  8. D.... B....

    So so so so good ! This is what makes canada the best

  9. R.... ....

    I think this is my favorite hip song. Talk about music to invoke your emotions!

  10. D.... S....

    we miss you Gord

  11. c.... ....

    Excellent!

  12. S.... L....

    Fireworks exploding in the distance
    Temporary towers soar
    Fireworks emulating heaven
    Til there are no stars anymore
    Fireworks aiming straight at heaven
    Temporary towers soar
    Til there are no stars shining up in heaven
    Til there are no stars anymore

  13. B.... B....

    Legends never die

  14. C.... M....

    Hard to believe this albums 20 years old

  15. D.... i....

    20 years ago, it seems like yesterday , and still bring a smile as soon as that first note hits

  16. R.... T....

    Hockey is a stupid thing to be excited about. Music is not lol . Well hold on, i'm drunk right now, if the Leafs went on a mad run again... no, my heart has been hurt too many times

  17. 4.... t....

    "We all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger" A line that would baffle most, unless you're from Canada.

    4.... t....

    SLAPSHOTS !!

    4.... t....

    a lazer from the point!!

    4.... t....

    "ONE TIMMER" or "Wrist Shot"...

    4.... t....

    Or If your from North Dakota and Minnesota

  18. C.... M....

    I miss them

  19. G.... K....

    love the rhythm of this song...love the line... she didn't give a fuck about hockey, never saw someone say that before...classic...great lyrics in this songs

  20. b.... ....

    Probably Gord's best poem, embedded in a one of their best songs:
    "Fireworks exploding in the distance
    Temporary towers soar
    Fireworks emulating heaven
    Till there are no stars any more
    Fireworks aiming straight at heaven
    Temporary towers soar
    Till there are no stars shining up in heaven
    Till there are no stars any more"

  21. s.... h....

    From Chicago RIP Gord Dowine

  22. R.... �....

    I’m a buffalo girl who loves hockey (Buffalo Sabres are my team🏒🏒🏒)and music, the hip are one of my all time favorite bands ever❤️❤️❤️even though I’m only 14 years old, my parents raised my brother and I on the hip music, this was probably the first hip song that I ever heard when I was a baby and I think that that’s probably why I love it so much, I can remember when my brother and I were little I think we were probably like 5 and 7 and we would be in the car on our way to one of his hockey games and my dad would always play this song and my brother and I would always SCREAM EVERY WORD TO THIS SONG 😂😂😂 and as soon as we heard the first note of this song we would always yell “ TURN IT UP!!!!” 😂😂😂 Love you Gord, Love you Hip, rock on forever❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🏒❤️🎸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸

    R.... �....

    awesome post!!

    R.... �....

    I'm happy you love such a great band. Cherish the time you spend with your family. Like great music, sometimes it doesn't last as long as we expect.
    As a Leafs fan I can never love the Sabres, but as a hockey fan I love your loyalty to your team! Eventually they will succeed. Some great young players!

    R.... �....

    ...greatttttttt

    R.... �....

    Fabulous post. Don't let any of these Canadians on here tell you the Hip is for Canadians. Gord was never comfortable with the nationalism the band came to represent for many. While the references in the lyrics often refer to places here in Canada, the stories are universal. Gord was human before everything. And more human than most. KEEP ON ROCKIN!!! Til there are no stars anymooooorrreee!

  23. D.... D....

    R.I.P. GORD DOWNIE 1964-2017.... A Nation mourning the loss of a great icon to our country.

    this hurts a lot today.

  27. V.... K....

    RIP Gord :(

  28. D.... H....

    RIP Gord, you will be immortalized every Canada Day until there is no more Canada. This one thing doesn't have to go away. ):

  29. A.... H....

    Rest in Peace, Gordie

    Gone but never forgotten.

  30. M.... F....

    My favorite Hip song, and it's not even close.

  31. r.... d....

    from Detroit also.

  32. f.... ....

    Loved hearing this on the season finale of Mr. D

    f.... ....

  33. H.... ....

    YYZ, pearson airport

  34. v.... ....

    We used to do really long flexed-arm hangs in gym class when I was in high school!

  35. A.... S....

    Fireworks emulating heaven, til there were no stars anymore.... Gonna miss your vocals, Gord!

  36. C.... G....

    Sending all our love from south of the border. Buffalo, NY salutes the Tragically Hip!

    C.... G....

    Been a sad week RIP Gord

    C.... G....

    Buffalo is a dope city, ever want to join Toronto just let us know

    C.... G....

    Huge fan from Detroit here
    R.I.P. Gord :(

    C.... G....

    Agreed!

    C.... G....

    Tonawanda , NY checking in with a salute as well.

  37. p.... ....

    Dropping to the mat in a fit of laughter
    Showed no patience, tolerance or restraint

  38. D.... A....

    My favourite T-Hip song. Tonight's show is going to be amazing; hope he plays Fireworks!

    D.... A....

    Didn't play it during their first show in Toronto on the tour. Was so sad.

  39. Y.... ....

    We will miss you Gord.

    Y.... ....

    ... He's still alive?

    Y.... ....

    Why? He's still very much alive. What a shitty thing to say about someone who's alive.

    Y.... ....

    > What a shitty thing to say

    Oh fuck off. We will miss you, Gord.

    Y.... ....

    I already miss Gord because both of the Edmonton shows are over.

    Y.... ....

    They miss you more when you're really gone.

  40. T.... G....

    Did most of the Hip vids get taken off? It says "this video is not available" on many of them

    T.... G....

    Because people are buying the music for a change? About time if you ask me. Anything from Day For night right up through In Between Evolution is like, like, ya know... right?

  41. t.... t....

    #4 Bobby Orr

    t.... t....

    #29 beat him in 71

    t.... t....

    Aaaahhh, yes....you must be referring to the rookie Ken Dryden.

  42. B.... ....

    I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HOCKEY

    B.... ....

    I never saw someone say that before...

    B.... ....

    never saw someone say that before...

    B.... ....

    I give one fuck about hockey, this song.

    B.... ....

    I never saw someone say that before...

    B.... ....

    DUMP YO ASS

  43. A.... N....

    Gordy is known for his embellishments!

  44. T.... M....

    ya fireworks

  45. N.... B....

    thanks for the upload

  46. J.... L....

    Yeah we all heard that before the hip rock

  47. J.... M....

    If there's a goal that everyone remembers it was back in old seventy two ...

    This line is about Paul Henderson in the 72 Summit Series folks ... if you don't know this you may leave the country (NB: Henderson was on fire the entire series by the way).

    J.... M....

    It's amazing that you felt you had to explain that

    J.... M....

    TheM3tal bahaha totally

  48. T.... M....

    Thank God for Paul Henderson

  49. B.... ....

    Corner Gas!

  50. s.... m....

    It's Bobby Orr people. If you don't know how great he was, find out.

    s.... m....

    absolutely,it's the most important goal in Canadian hockey history in my opinion 

    s.... m....

    @Trev Mac agreed...but as long as we also acknowledge that the real turning point in the series was Bobby Clarke's disgusting ankle-breaking slash on Kharlamov, the best player in the series. Assistant coach John Ferguson admitted: “I called Clarke over to the bench, looked over at Kharlamov and said: ‘I think he needs a tap on the ankle.’ I didn’t think twice about it. It was Us vs. Them. And Kharlamov was killing us. I mean, somebody had to do it, and I sure wasn’t going to ask Henderson.”

    s.... m....

    @Jesse Freeston Jesus when you mentioned John Ferguson i know you know your hockey ..My compliments my friend *Salute*

    s.... m....

    I thought the song was called "Bobby Orr" for the longest time

    s.... m....

    @Jesse Freeston Disgusting? That was awesome.

  51. D.... G....

    You said you didn't give a fuck about hockey.....and I never saw someone say that before

  52. D.... H....

    A Canada Day must.  

  53. J.... ....

    Happy Canada Day 2014

  54. T.... ....

    This is what Rob Ford smokes crack too.

    T.... ....

    Probably, it is a good crack smoking tune

    T.... ....

    Yes man, yes!

    T.... ....

    I snort blow to it

    T.... ....

    RIP ROFO

  55. R.... Z....

    Why the hell isn't this song better known? It's pretty much the Canadian equivalent of "This Land is Your Land". (Well okay maybe that's a bit much, but this is still a hell of a song)

    R.... Z....

    If that's really you dear ... you truly are pretty

    R.... Z....

    50 mission cap

    R.... Z....

    +Rachel Zack
    you've just described every Hip song that exists lol. From 'Bobcaygeon' to 'Wheat Kings', not a rotten (road) apple in the bunch either. gord & his gentlemen accompanists are goat.

  56. C.... C....

    rippin ass in my ford probe in the back roads blastin this bud elfrida ontario!

  57. g.... ....

    "Temporary towers soar" = nuclear ICBMs taking flight to their target

    g.... ....

    @goncack Or perhaps... fireworks? (I'm not saying the plume from an ICBM on liftoff isn't beautiful and terrifying but you may be over-thinking it.)

    g.... ....

    IMO, the song is about Canada and The Cold War era.

    g.... ....

    @goncack I agree; the phrase "Cold War" is literally in the song. That image just seems a little too, you know, on the nose for such a central part of the song. It may be referring to both! Moving on, there is another song, "Pilot" by Ian Thomas, which I think is much more focused on the dawn of the Cold War.

    g.... ....

    This song is about young love. The "temporary towers soar" lyric refers to orgasms. Fireworks emulating heaven until there are no stars anymore.

  58. B.... ....

    Lost my virginity to this song, and couldn't be happier it played out that way.  "Temporary towers soar", oh yeah Gordie, you nailed that one buddy.

    B.... ....

    Bortley1 apparently gord wasnt the only one nailing one out ;)

  59. m.... ....

    This is the most Canadian song ever.  It's not even a contest, really.

    m.... ....

    Canadian or Soviet? The beauty of the lyric is that ambiguity

    m.... ....

    @Put Your Quarter Up Gaming :)

    m.... ....

    love this song , and the Hip , but have a look at Stan Rogers Northwest Passage

    m.... ....

    Bob & Doug McKenzie with Geddy Lee - Take Off no contest

  60. p.... ....

    Makes me proud to be a Canadian, i love this song!

  61. M.... ....

    HENDERSONNNNNN

  62. h.... ....

    CANADA TAKES GOLD WOOOOOOOOT WOOOOOOOOOT

  63. C.... ....

    @kirant Oh okay. lol

  64. k.... ....

    @dfbhcf - I prefer to believe the entire singing portion of the ceremonies (anything starting with Nickelback) just...didn't happen.

  65. C.... ....

    @kirant huh?

  66. k.... ....

    @dfbhcf - Ugh. Don't remind me of the song selection. The ceremony ended when the inflatable beaver and table hockey players exited.

  67. Q.... D....

    @dfbhcf what a crock that was and still is....damn people and their moneymakers who are more popular at the moment.....and here I thought Canada was there to show its best to the world...best music should count for something

  68. N.... ....

    I love how he sounds so surprised at how she doesn't give a fuck about hockey.

  69. C.... ....

    This would of been the perfect song for The Hip to play at the Olympics, unfortunately they we're fuckin' passed for Hedley and Simple Plan. Bullshit.

  70. M.... ....

    You can't go wrong with The Hip

  71. B.... ....

    Some good lyrics in this tune, "loosened her grip on Bobby Orr."

  72. d.... ....

    Best Tragically hip song

  73. M.... A....

    mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
    KaSmashh!!

  74. s.... ....

    You don't have to like just one genre, you can literally like every single genre of music.

  75. d.... ....

    same, some songs are just universally appealing, i like rap but this song is cool

  76. L.... H....

    AND THE HOP..LOL

  77. L.... H....

    i am in to hiphop.but i love this song and group..
    LONG LIVE THE HIP..

  78. P.... C....

    after the begginning, its really not that much about hockey anymore

  79. P.... C....

    I love the part from about 2:00 to 2:25. I dont know why, its just soooo awesome!!!

  80. P.... C....

    If theres a goal that everyone remembers, it was back in old 72, we all squeezed the stick and we all pulled the trigger, and all I remember is sittin beside you! u said u didnt give a f*** about hockey, never heard someone say that before! lol, love that. Incredible song, love it so so so much!!!

  81. s.... ....
