LYRICS
What's the deal with your dad?
He don't even know my name
Didn't know he'd be back,
didn't know we'd been bad
And no one stayed to share the blame
And I didn't mean to do that
Now she won't even come around
Every time I Iook back, didn't realize that
I was better off than now
Mothers came and cried for Abel
Brother Cain survived the century's end
All the time that I thought was my friend
Will be alright till we get back again
Heaven knows you alright
(they will never drag you down)
And they will never drag you down
(there ain't time to lose sight)
There ain't time to lose sight, getting lost in the light
Is more than never being found
Mothers came and cried for Abel
Brother Cain survived the century's end
All the time that I thought was my friend
Will be all right till we get back again
We never could go back
(and I could never leave my home)
And I could never leave my home (why'd they change your face like that?)
Why'd they change your face like that?
If I'd never seen ya
I could always dream that
I'd be better off alone
Mothers came and cried for Abel
Brother Cain survived the century's end
All the time that I thought was my friend
We’ll be alright till we get back again

I am an American and a music fanatic. Somehow…the Hip was never a part of my life’s soundtrack…until the day Gord passed. I saw it on the news…and I saw the immense love shown from the fans when he died. I immediately dug in, and I have been enveloped in their music ever since. I am blessed to have found them.
-
Heard this for the first time today on my local radio station and hearing Gord in his prime so clear and full of life gave me goosebumps. Rest Easy Gord you absolute legend
-
Hearing Gord's voice again really hits deep in my heart....like every Canadian.
-
How this was not included on Up To Here is beyond me. As an American, I just cant understand why they are not huge here.
-
Leaving it unreleased and never replaying it after early on, only added to it's legend. Enjoy one of the best Hip songs ever recorded.
-
Someone yesterday said “I don’t even care if it’s not good, I just want to hear from Gord again” and this is EPIC
-
I can't keep my eyes dry. I lost my best friend of 42 years in 2022 to ALS. We were hip from the start. Hearing Gords voice again is heartbreaking and a beautiful thing. Today the past became the present and with it all the lost souls are reunited again.

Heard this by chance today on the radio in my truck just after dropping off my 15 year old son, I called him when I got home and told him to listen to it , he loves the hip as I do. He loved it as I do. First saw them on July 1st 1991, a week after I graduated high-school. Didn't really know who they were at the time, but when they hit the stage I got educated quickly. I'm an American in Northern ny, and I can see Canada from my house, and The Tragically Hip are the best band I've ever seen live! Seen them many times. And today brought me back to every time I did! Thank you to one of the best bands ever❤

This song was a Napster find for me decades ago. I never knew it existed, but I found it when downloading live versions of hip songs back then. With my internet speed at the time, I'd set up about 25 songs to download before I went to bed and then see what worked the next morning. Usually 6-12 new songs... it was just as exciting as making mixed tapes for my car a decade before that.

Solstice is just a little bit brighter now.

I listened to this song growing up in the mid 90's, I think it was taped live on VHS. I love this video, which captures how we were free. Spending time together, no cell phones, except our 2 rich friends that could only make calls. I have had a very hard life, but my teens to early 20's were awesome.
-
Nobody communicates directly to the Canadian soul better than the Hip
-
i have literally waited 25 years for this moment!!
-
What a way to start summer
-
Wow. I’m a bit stunned, the emotion hit just as it was ending. This is a gem, thanks for it, gentlemen all. RIP Gord Downie, so greatly missed.
-
Have to confess, have had the Misty Moon concert on all my devices forever. When it aired on Much Music back around 1990 I recorded it on VHS. Stripped the audio to tape and for the first number of years, just played it on tape. Such a great concert when CDs came out big, I converted the tape to CD Audio to play in my CD player, later ripping it to MP3. So glad you guys have been publishing all your oldies in recent years. Really brings back memories of concerts in the early days when I was much younger...and now I can be legit. 🙂

Thank you. You all have already given us so much, and yet you still choose to give. It's beautiful. I hope that wherever you are, you feel some of the joy and comfort that your gifts continue to give us. This song reminds us of what we've lost, but also how far we've come; and that nothing we love, is ever really gone.
-
Pearl Jam has Yellow Ledbetter, Tragically Hip has Get Back Again. 2 of my favorite songs that never made it to an album.
-
The raw emotion and storytelling are unparalleled. Their music truly captures the essence of life's highs and lows. This track is a masterpiece!
-
This is easily one of my top Hip songs of all time!! How it wasn’t released until now is beyond me
