Lyric discussion by Daryl24 

Cover art for Sherpa lyrics by Tragically Hip, The

not sure on the name, but a very over-rated song, i love it. Kinda reminds me of the luxury.

I am assuming that Daryl means 'under-rated' given that this song receives little, if any radio play. Anyhow, I very much agree that it's a terrific song. Very nice lyrics. While I can't speak for Gord Downie's actual intention, I am hit viscerally with the imagery: talking at length with someone you know well enough that the content of the conversation is trumped by the fact that you're having it with them. Sharing wonderful moments of conversation and mutual appreciation. I also get a bit of a Canadiana vibe...but that just might be a projection...
