I'm crying again right now listening to this again... and I know I'll be crying again in the days ahead. But mixed with the sorrow is joy. Thanks Gord, and to all the musicians that you have influenced, and for leaving us with memories for the rest of our lifetimes.
Petey Lavoy, its ok to cry buddy, it has been a rough ride, the songs from the band are purely Canadian, we lost more than a singer in Gordie, we lost a part of our fabric as Canadians, we lost a friend, he loved us all too bud, its ok.
Ummm...brilliant on so many levels! Songwriting, original version, gorgeous cover, heartfelt tribute from one Canadian icon to another. Going to see Dallas at Calgary Folk Fest next weekend. God I hope he does this again!!
MsCrumbles...sadly he didn't. Even more sad, he was disappointing. Slow sad dirges all show. Never stood up, just sat on the stool and pined! He came across as the saddest man in the world. Definitely not a "festival" set. Festivals are supposed to be fun. Take the depressing set to a hipster cafe. His voice is still golden though! But tiresome after 10 dirges.
Dave Gerard Sorry to hear it wasn't what you were hoping for! I'm quite the opposite, haha.. I absolutely LOVED his quiet solo sets! I saw 3 of them this year, and I thought it was a beautiful change up from the full band shows. Perhaps venue & atmosphere does have something to do with it though..We were at small theatres when I saw the solo shows. Maybe it doesn't go over so well with a festival vibe.
I mean he was good. When he started singing I literally got chills. But I thought he'd bring it up a notch (and actually stand up) at some point for a festival crowd. I'll never dis Dallas, just my maybe overblown expectations. I gotta remember this was a folk fest not an Alexis on Fire show!
I am so friggin Canadian ... you can't remove the maple leaf from my heart ... it is so deeply entrenched ... I build igloos and love when they melt ... I am Canadian ... are you?
I walk by the old house a few doors down and there's nobody there. I get to thinkin' 'bout life an how it ain't to fair. I turn around and go back home. I miss the old days. Who'd of known. Like running to the wall but missing the call on the old telephone. No one's home. I feel so so .....sad.
You have great talent! We love your amazingly unique voice. Please don't be sad. We all feel occasionally depressed; it takes mind control to avert it. It's hard work similar to keeping physically fit. Good luck!
he gave it a good shot, he did good and clearly loved the tunes and loved Gordie and THE HIP. He deserves respect for coming away from what he does for his friend who just passed away, don,t like it, don,t listen. Problem solved.
This sounds great his voice is amazing. But I can’t help but be a little annoyed at the fact he played the chorus wrong. The B chord added to the progression there is a crucial part of the song. To me that’s the moment that really sucks you in and is the most gripping. The song is just not the same without it. Nonetheless, it’s still a very good cover there’s no denying that. He did a great job singing and that’s most important.
Still love listening to this cover! Thanks Dallas for being such a great Canadian honouring a fellow great Canadian band.
This is one of the best hip covers I've ever listened to
the trews cover of Grace, Too is phenomenal
Every Band for the rest of the year in Canada, should honor The HIp
Don't know why but i am crying right now .
I cried while recording it, and there were many around me crying as well..

Petey Lavoy that's because you have Canada in your heart

Brings a tear to my eye...rest in peace Good we love you!!!

Dave Gerard - I'm betting that he will!

Nailed it.
For years I’ve wanted to hear Dallas sing Locked in the Trunk of a Car
Feel like his voice would really suit it
RIP Gordie! sad day.
Sing on, brother!! Sing on!
Miss you Frew.
🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️
wow he sounds almost identical to GORDON....I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS GONE :(
Vincent Chase I can't believe it either 😞💔
Where did you get that voice Dallas Green? thank you for this tribute
he gave it a good shot, he did good and clearly loved the tunes and loved Gordie and THE HIP. He deserves respect for coming away from what he does for his friend who just passed away, don,t like it, don,t listen. Problem solved.
sweet as tupelo honey
You have great taste in songs and songwriters Jason.
so very tragic. R.I.P & thank you.
Anyone know the chords?
Canada
Not bad, but nobody's ever gonna do this song half as good as mr. Downie. It was magic when sang 'and their voices rang...'
I miss you Chicken Butt
Why tf is TH-cam recommending this 4 years later

Too fast. Why didn't he take his time? It's great just too fast
