    Gord Downey was a poet of the highest order. The world was a much better place with him in it. His music will live on for generations.

    Sometimes the guitar playing of Paul Langlois goes unnoticed in a lot of videos, but I love his place in the mix here. You can really hear how much he contributes to the meat and potatoes of the band's sound, his introduction in the second verse is really fierce, and the playing he does alongside Gord on bass is fantastic in the outro. I love this video, the band is at its peak here (in my opinion) and they get a chance to really play through the song as they would in any other live setting, the best of the Hip on TH-cam!

    • @Jay-bf8yp
      @Jay-bf8yp 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've always loved Paul's playing on the outrow on this song, especially live. You really can hear his influence when you listen to his solo album.

    First thing, we'd climb a tree
    And maybe then we'd talk
    Or sit silently
    And listen to our thoughts
    With illusions of someday
    Casting a golden light
    No dress rehearsal
    This is our life
    And that's when the hornet stung me
    And I had a feverish dream
    With revenge and doubt
    Tonight, we smoke them out
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    Stare in the mornin' shroud
    And then the day began
    I tilted your cloud
    You tilted my hand
    Rain falls in real time
    And rain fell through the night
    No dress rehearsal
    This is our life
    But that's when the hornet stung me
    And I had a serious dream
    With revenge and doubt
    Tonight, we smoke them out
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    You are ahead by a century
    And disappointin' you
    Is gettin' me down

    Gotta say, I really find it insulting that today's radio programming, (which doesn't have a freaking clue about diversity and how widening the scope of an artists catalog for airplay) can literally kill one song through repetitive, mind numbing overplay. Money is the bottom line.
