Ok so I am now old (32 lol)
I have been listening to the hip for about 19 years
I remember being 13 and getting fully completely and getting almost to excited listening through it

The one thing I have always loved about the hip is that their lyrics always seem to relate to something going on in my life

A great example of this is when Violet Light came out I graduated from college and moved to Vancouver
I remember not knowing a sole in that lovely but lonely city and listening to Its A Good Life
The lyric came upo

O' for a good life, we just might have to weaken
and find somewhere to go
go somewhere we're needed
find somewhere to grow
grow somewhere we're needed.


That just hit home with what was going on in my life, I was 21 years old trying to start a life in a place I didnt know a sole and was looking for somewere to grow


Now that i am a little bit older and dont listen to the hip as much as I used to (if at all) living in the states
I was thinking what lyrics can I still relate too!


That line from Its a Good Life still gives me chills whenever I hear it

However now I see myself relating more to lyrics that meant nothing to me in the past like greasy jungly

I washed Your dishes than i fell for your warm water

I was recently married and that song came on and reminded me of the time I was goofing around washing dishes with my wife and being comforted by her and the warm water from the sink


Anyways I thought i would start this thread cause I am always interested to see how your view of the hip (I band i truly love) has changed over the year,

My life has gone from 2.50 for a highball
to washing dishes with my wife

I know home depot is next!

Anyone want to share lyrics that still touch home to them

Sooooo many, but just listened to PP and this one grabbed by the short ones ... again.

"Don't sound so detached, this is you and me
Just give me your opinion before you turn to leave
But your crust is just incredible, the radio was edible
When you said don't wipe your asses with your sleeves"

"We live to survive our paradoxes"

I don't want em to see me like this
The way they like to kick people when their down
You said, ‘please stop worrying bout this
They stop kicking once you're down'

We said we must be friends or die
and we've died a thousand times since then

Love it

Its funny how much my life has changed
I used to always be able to relate to we were high we were sherpa high

now not so much lol

i thought of maybe quittin', thought of leavin' it behind

->I Ponder the Endlessness of the Stars, Ignoring Saidsame of my Father...Either It'll Move Me, Or It'll Move Right Through me, Fully Completely~~~

->bill barilko disappeared that summer, he was on a fishing trip the last goal he ever scored won the leafs the cup they didn't win
another until 1962, the year he was discovered

->All things being balanced,it’s balanced and called balancing somewhere beyond everything it’s being balanced not for the sake of balance but balancing between the throes of learning and the entire thing entirely balancing~

->I had this dream where I relished the fray and the screaming filled my head all day.
It was as though I had been spit here,
settled in,
into the pocket of a lighthouse on some rocky socket,
off the coast of France, dear.

-> , We wake up different, rifle through our dreams
Another placid day, ripples at the seams
Do you think I bow out cause I think you're right?
Or cause I don't wanna fight?

thats just a few...

I said, "I give".

I'm in the night fields everything dark yellow
I'm making my way by feel by my neighbours glow

Love that song!

And here's the scene
You're yellin' calmly out the street
Are we family or what?

And the real wonder of the world is that we don't jump too
