    gosh... as someone who did a lot of growing up in bobcaygeon, I hold this song real close to my heart and almost get stupid and protective of it. those tones he added hooked me from the beginning though, they reminded me instantly of stargazing on the grass next the docks somehow. you not only honoured gord, you honoured bobcaygeon. I think a new generation of caygeon kids will really appreciate it.

    Wow brother, what a great job of a beast of a vocalist to cover. Gord was something else!!!. You are.quickly becoming an artist like this yourself. The more I hear, the more I love your music and sound!!! I am a drummer so I mess with the drums some but you guys are awesome!!! Keep up the great work. Just saw you guys in st Catherine's ontario Canada less than a week ago. Phenomenal show!!

    Weird to hear that song not performed by Gord, but Scott Helman did a great job. Took my daughter to see him for her first ever concert and we've got again a couple of times. She had a chance to meet him a couple of times and he was really sweet to her. Hope he has a long and successful career.

    Wow. I like Scott Helman's pop songs - he's got an incredible ear for a hook - but I didn't know he could be so soulful. He pays heartfelt and sincere homage to a legend, good on him.

      Are you kidding? This should be annihilated from existence. This is the most offensive thing I've seen on the internet and I've been using it since 1993.

    I can't say I like it better than the original. It's too classic. But this is the best Hip cover I've ever seen.

    It is really tough to do a cover of an iconic tune from another band and Scott and the band do a great job paying an homage to The Tragically Hip in this version. The quintessential Canadian campfire song done well.

    thank you for covering this song so beautifully. I have been a fan of you, Scott, since August of last year. I was able to meet you and see you live when you went on tour with Ria Mae. Scott has inspired me so much and helped me through so many things. Through Scott, I found Gord. Thank you for the gift of music and sharing this song with the rest of us, both Gord and Scott.

      Someone here really has a problem with people who believe in human decency and resistance to evil. We've all gotten two clues, and they both involve the same insult-word being flung at me...possibly because they equate resistance to evil with a lack of masculinity. They have no willingness to admit that they've gotten a clue what masculinity is...and that Scott Helman practices it better than they do.

      That's right - that Bobcaygeon. Gord used to call it a "cop love song" about a police officer who likes to get away to Bobcaygeon, Ontario.

  • @Andrew-nz3pv
    @Andrew-nz3pv 3 роки тому +3

    The band rocked it. Singer did NOT do the song justice at all. Dallas’ cover is definitely the best, overall no one will ever match up to Gord himself

  • @DonPasquale_
    @DonPasquale_ 5 років тому +7

    I appreciate the effort, but Scott's voice is a bit too high (not out of pitch, just his general timbre) and thin for the song IMO and the heavy-handed autotune is a bit contradictory to the rustic nature of the song itself.

      @barbwatkins3676 2 роки тому

      Just heard this. I liked it - no one can ever replace Gord but this was Scott's version with his spin on it. I wouldn't have wanted to hear someone try and do Gord to the nth.

  • @natecox314
    @natecox314 2 роки тому

    That whole introduction about respecting Gord and his music and you messed up the first line of the song… Lol
    It’s supposed to be
    “Left your house this morning”
    Cmon, really? no one caught that?
    Like 10 of you in that studio and how ever many people who listened to that through the whole session and editing… not one person ?
    Cool cover, Good musicianship, tight band… but the first line of the most popular and recognized HIP songs ever… really?!
    Lol
