| The Tragically Hip – Looking For A Place To Happen Lyrics | 20 years ago |

hmmm more or less how I've always thought of the song. But I came in here to tell a story about the song which more adequately describes "What does this song mean to you?": A friend (from Prince Edward Island) went hitchhiking without really knowing where he was going. He wrote himself a cardboard sign "Looking for a place to happen making stops along the way" He got picked up by a like minded individual (also a hip fan) and they made there way down to Florida (eventually) and back (eventually). So as I see it, this song is more of an inspirational song to voyagers everywhere. Not necessarily about any one person or event but more the state of mind that accompanies setting out. One of these days I'm gonna paint up my sign and just go. |

Well I can't remember the source exactly but... I've been told Gordie was sitting in a bar in New Orleans writing down what people were saying around him. Later on he fashioned it into a song. Sounds plausible and reasonable. Whether its true or not I don't rightfully know but I like to believe this. |
