I guess I don't need to explain the terrible destiny the band chose for itself when picking its name? The hippest band in Canada is tragically not hip anywhere else in the world. Oh, the irony!<br/><br/>I never understood the deeper meaning of this song until now - it truly is amazing the allusions and references the band makes to Canadian culture and history. Now I am never one to mistake rock lyrics for poetry, but I sincerely believe Gordon Downie's words will be studied by Canadian literature students in years to come. Although they probably won't find any hidden meaning in my favorite Hip song, "Trickle Down" (from the album “Up To Here” which myself and several of my buddies espouse to be the band’s most solid album musically speaking), but sometimes a good song doesn’t have to mean much. Tally-ho!
