Red Leaf Project: See The Hip For Free!

Pin It Now!

The Tragically Hip are playing a show at Toronto's Sound Academy (Not the greatest venue, I know) and you could get in for free! I'm going to give you the gist of things with the appropriate links for you to see it through as far as you wish.

The date of the concert is September 29, 2012 and as I mentioned, it's in Toronto. The tickets are being given away as a part of the Molson Canadian Red Leaf Project. The basics are as follows: Find a park near you, sign-up for the volunteer clean-up, show up and do it. That's it. Did I mention that there's free beer involved and that it's only about 2 hours of work?

Now for some bad news. The lists for workers are full and they are only accepting spots on the waiting list for each park. If you're just hearing of this for the first time here, I'm sorry I didn't get this information out to you sooner. If you knew of this already and were just sitting on your ass about it... tough shit. Ha ha!

But.... from what I hear people drop out of these things all the time. Stuff comes up. And a lot of the time they don't bother to remove themselves from the list. I'm told it is worthwhile to put your name on the waiting list and then show up to your chosen spot regardless. If there are no shows, you will get a spot on the clean-up crew, some beer, some new friends, a sense of satisfaction and of course... A HIP TICKET! In the event that doesn't work out, you can still participate, feel good, build karma, etc, etc....

Hey All!

Our first T-Shirt design is now available. It's loosely based on the song Pigeon Camera. We put our heads together and came up with a picture of a Pigeon & a Camera. Deep. I know.

One Night In Copenhagen - Lyrics

Pin It Now!




Last played: 2004/12/31 Hamilton, ON
Debut: 2004/01/01 Sydney, NS
Notes: ONIC was played on the first calendar day of 2004 and on the last calendar day of 2004. It has never been played live to an audience outside of 2004 however.


When the drugs hit you
Tingly begins
Conviction + tone = hope
Under the threat of separation
The nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull
Suspended in air
The sound of the sea
Anywhere! Anywhere!

When the drugs quit you
As loyal as a fruit fly you'll mutter to yourself
'You talentless fuck, good fucking luck
Good fucking luck'
A delicatessen
Shriek of a horn
Suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere! Anywhere!

It quits you in situ
And here it begins
Quits you at a payphone in the snow
One night in Copenhagen
One night in Copenhagen
And ya know
The nadir's fluorescent
The shriek of a gull
Suspended in air
The sound of the town
Anywhere! Anywhere!

Previous song: The Heart Of The Melt

The Heart of the Melt - Lyrics

Pin It Now!



Last played: 2004/09/26 Philadelphia, PA
Debut: 2004/06/23 Calgary, AB
Notes: This song has only been played 3 times live according to the database at thehip.com. Why? Who knows. It's a solid rocking tune but it's hard to make room in the setlist when you gotta keep playing Courage & NOIS over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...



There’s me then there’s you
and I could dance with the puck
in a telephone booth
You said,
“I don’t give a fuck
besides enough about you
and your ‘evil’s banal’
‘cause as soon as Joni says ‘blue’
you’re somewhere else

There’s me then there’s you
and I could not hear it yet
From a telephone booth
I do my hungover best
and say,
“Enough about you
and your representative hell
I jump in when you do like there’s nowhere else
And then
of course
there’s the dorsal fin
closing in that you can’t outswim

“It’s not him that I gotta outswim” you said,
“Just you”
you said,
“Just you”

There’s the narrowest flume
There’s the somewhere else
When I’m with you
there’s nowhere else
There’s me and there’s you
There’s me and there’s you
You could not say enough
If there were several yous
that would not be enough
There’s me and there’s you
You’re a beautiful you
a beautiful you
are beautiful you
could not say enough
If there were several truths
it would not be enough
We’re a beautiful two


Next song: One Night In Copenhagen
Previous song: Mean Streak
