The Tragically Hip, often referred to simply as The Hip, was a Canadian rock band from Kingston, Ontario, that was active between 1983 and 2016.

The band released 12 studio albums, two live albums, 1 EP, and 54 singles. Nine of their albums reached No. 1 in Canada. They received numerous Canadian Music awards, including 16 Juno Awards. The band's final album and tour were in 2016, following Downie being diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in December, 2015.



It might be late but it won't be early
You got me to the gate with time for a coffee
It's getting late, sounds like a departure
It's getting close, sounds to me like a departure

Until we meet again, let's stay engaged
Until then, let's stay engaged

Lies, over time, they float to the surface
Lies, over time, they equal surface
Lies, over time, though the reasons desert us
Lies, over time, with no apparent purpose

Until we meet again, let's stay engaged
Until then, let's stay engaged

You see the dead art and you see your reflection
You fear no art and you fear no reflection
But don't look at me, I'm not the artist in question
Sounds good to me but I'm not the artist in question

Until we meet again, let's stay engaged
Until then, let's stay engaged, let's stay engaged
