[MUSIC] The Tragically Hip, "Ahead by a Century"

[rfmcdonald]

The 1996 song "Ahead by a Century" is the song I most closely associate with the Tragically Hip, perhaps because its video was released soon after I began my career as a watcher of MuchMusic.

"The Tragically Hip - Ahead By A Century" (Watch on YouTube)

Rain falls in real time
And rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal, this is our life

What can I say but that the band, perhaps for me particularly with its cerebral lyrics, is iconically Canadian for good reason?
