Tragically Hip, The Looking For A Place To Happen Comments
  1. M.... J....

    Make Canada Hip Again

  2. E.... R....

    The story of a part of my life. Thank you Gordie. And good night

  8. K.... D....

    The Hip, the power came into my body and rests in my bones at the 100th meridian. Gord channeled serial killers and plains Indians. Would that make him a medium? Is that a correct description. I'm not looking for your approval, as I'm aware a generation so much dumber than it's parents came crashing though a window!

    K.... D....

    Exelent coment my brou.

  9. f.... m....

    Love the Hip..miss you Gordie

  10. R.... L....

    This song is OK

  11. J.... H....

    I've got a job, I explore, I follow every little whiff
    And I want my life to smell like this
    To find a place, an ancient race
    The kind you'd like to gamble with
    Where they'd stamp on burning bags of shit.
    Looking for a place to happen
    Making stops along the way

    Wayward ho! Away we go,
    It's a shame to leave this masterpiece
    With it's gallery gods and it's garbage-bag trees
    So I'll paint a scene, from memory,
    So I'd know who murdered me
    It's a vain pursuit, but it helps me to sleep
    Looking for a place to happen
    Making stops along the way

    Jacques Cartier, right this way,
    I'll put your coat up on the bed
    Hey man you've got a real bum's eye for clothes
    And come on in, sit right down,
    No you're not the first to show
    We've all been here since, God, who knows?
    Looking for a place to happen,
    Making stops along the way.

  12. E.... M....

  33. A.... N....

    The local Duluth fm rock station sucks, they will play a suckey Kid Rock song , ten times a week and I've heard them play the Hip maybe once in the six years i've lived here. Back in Buffalo , NY you here the Hip at least a few times a day or more on the radio.

    A.... N....

    In Michigan. Use to hear them on a Canadian radio station we can get here back in the 90. Now that station plays the same Beastie Song several times a day, but no Hip.

    A.... N....

    Angelica New York reppin the 716 as well:)

    A.... N....

    Discovered them in buffalo often and yes the radio plays them throughout the day..when gord passed they devoted the whole weekend to the hip

    A.... N....

    holy shit!!!!!!

  34. C.... B....

    I hear this at work all the time, good song damn

  35. K.... ....

    What a song, what an album, what a band - Hip fan from Ireland.

    K.... ....

    As a Canadian and a big Hip fan I must say, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. He truly was/ is a national treasure ♡

    K.... ....

    K84 bravo from Canada Ontario. Excellent choice man!

    K.... ....

    Remember listening to this in 1992 while crossing western Canada on a bus. Man that was a long ride...

    K.... ....

    Rock on

    K.... ....

    Yes!!!! Awesome

  36. G.... ....

    Good kayaking music. Jacques Cartier, right this way !

  37. j.... J....

    Where do people come up with such stupid lyrics. Most songs have excellent singing excellent music but the lyrics are just stupid. I guess that's what happens when you don't know the creator of Heaven and earth, as the song says, We've all been here since, God, who knows?

    j.... J....

    +joeracer Jr so much dumb.

    j.... J....

    +joeracer Jr These lyrics are not stupid they are very unique to Canadian history and most importantly Gord himself, most people wont understand the lyrics, fans will know that a lot of the music is based off Canadian heritage as well as the musical inspiration of Gord Downie. regardless this band has a catalouge of hit songs and is world renowned for their music which cannot be understated, The more you know the better you will understand and appreciate but regardless your"re a fucking idiot lol__ GO HIP!

    j.... J....

    +joeracer Jr
    It's detailing the discovery of Canada and how much the explorer preferred it over the polluted mess that was his homeland.

    He embarked on a vain pursuit, and found a beautiful land with fields of green and snow capped mountains.

    The end of the song details his greeting with the natives. They were extremely kind to him and respected the land, so much so that he couldn't tell that the place was inhabited at first. It's a stark contrast to the more developed areas of the world at the time, which were a disgusting mess.

    If you look at Canada today, you can see this is more or less the same. We respect our land, and instead of spreading out wildly like the U.S or Britain we cluster together to preserve our motherlands natural beauty.

    j.... J....
