![]() ![]() What an amazing band and truly a poet of our generation. He is simply seeing into the later periods when someone will be there, and demonstrating to his teammates and fans that he is clairvoyant. It was in Bobcaygeon, I saw the constellations When it appears that Steve Downie has completely missed a check and crashed soley into the boards, he hasn't. ![]() Something about him not belonging to the NHL, Downie has played 0 games in. 'Cause that's what we thought married people doĬomplete with the grip of artificial chaosĪnd believing in the country of me and you" Downie is a tough dude and hes not going to let someone like Blake shoot his. Not one ambition whisperin' over your shoulder When the little sensation gets in your way Another calling former NHLer Steve Downie a racist sociopath, alleging that Downie routinely tormented him and once knocked out seven of his teeth with his stick. Isn't it amazing anything's accomplished? You held my hand and we walked home the long way "You said you didn't give a **** about hockey When the appearance of conflict, meets the appearance of force." "The secret rules of engagement, are hard to endorse. They didn't win another until 1962, the year he was discovered." The last goal he ever scored won the Leafs the Cup. Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do." Twenty years for nothing, well that's nothing new. Maybe it's someone standing in a killer's place. "In his Zippo lighter, he sees the killer's face. With illusions of someday, cast in a golden light. I need to give it some more spins but at first listen, it's one of the musical highlights of one of the worst year's humanity has seen in a long, long time.So I'm a 24 year old American, but I've just discovered the Tragically Hip and I'm absolutely hooked, like, the expansive sound of blues and alternative and folk country and these lyrics, man: The only thing I can say about the lack of response last year was it was apparently ok to do that last year and this year, because a video was sent around, its not ok. It was less late than Janssens hit on Kaberle last year. While news has since leaked that Downie recorded with long time pals Dinner is Ruined before recording Away is Mine, and The Tragically Hip plans to mine the vault for unreleased recordings, Away is Mine is some of the best work Downie has done. I dont think Downies hit was all that late. Like Warren Zevon on The Wind and David Bowie on Blackstar, on Away is Mine, Downie looks into the face of death and creates beautiful, haunting and inspiring art. Steve Downie has become a Pens Nation Fave for his Coolness and Tough Discipline. I've not listened to the acoustic side disc of the songs yet because I just can't get enough of the ambient sounds of the first disc. ![]() With assistance from his pal Josh Finlayson of the Skydiggers and Travis Good from the Sadies, this album just soars. Downie's voice is in the best form it's sounded in years. ![]() Where Introduce Yerself, the previous Downie solo effort was spare in it's arrangements (it was recorded in the months after Downie's late 2015 diagnosis) Away is Mine is much more layered. Recorded about three months before his passing and reportedly finished about a week before the brain tumor that claimed him would drastically impact his health and lead to a steep decline, the album is nothing less than a triumph. Just gave a first listen to the new solo album from beloved Canadian legend and front man of The Tragically Hip, the late Gord Downie. ![]()
