song of the day: june 24/2011


The Tragically Hip - As I Wind Down The Pines
Album: Music @ Work [2000]

a short little ditty that reminds me a lot of being at my cottage (aka "the pines"). the hip's later albums, beginning with this one, aren't nearly as impressive as their albums in the late 80's and throughout the 90's, but there are still some hidden gems. this may go down as one of their most stripped down efforts, containing only gord downie's beautiful voice (accompanied with harmonies), an acoustic guitar and sprinkled piano notes. tons of atmosphere and nostalgia from one of canada's best, beloved, and proudest bands.
