+1 on all of Day for Night.
Especially Yawning or Snarling.

If the title of this thread was “most haunting Hip song” there is no doubt my selection would come from DFN (Yawning, SHDB, Thugs, Titanic, IOD).
But if you’re looking for the “trippiest” tune or one to listen to while “relaxed” my vote goes to a song I could not stand for several years…Apartment Song.
The lyrics, the change in tempo half-way through, and Sinclair’s bass after the 3 minute mark did it for me…

I think Good Life is the most mesmerizing song.
The hip don't have particularily trippy songs, but maybe vaccination scar, toronto #4 or flamenco have got something happening.

all of them

Yup, that's it.
I can remember listening to this once quite a few years after it had been released (whilst being being very whapped out) and the guitar near the end of the song really worked on my head.

I wouldn’t say this is the “trippiest” Hip song ever, but I would say its one of the sickest!!! I could listen to the version from the Roxy in 1993 on a loop for weeks on end without a break.
Why in the hell has this song been “retired” for the past 14 years? There are 12 songs on Road Apples, if you exclude Born in the Water, every other song has been played live since 1993 except for Bring it all Back. Why??? It’s obviously a song that can grow and evolve over time, just listen to the extended intro that builds during the Roxy recording?
I know 38 Years Old was retired for 14 years and I know Fiddlers’ Green was off the table for 16 years, but they are both alive and kicking now! Its time to resuscitate this tune!

I would say Sherpa and Yawning as well. I would also add Sharks.

Throwing Off Glass has always struck me as rather trippy, as does Flamenco.

Good call. Something nice an chilled to listen to, but with a huge amount going on. I'd also agree with Chargrin Falls, but mainly because I've had it in my head for the last few days...
There aren't really any Hip songs that are trippy in an 'I Am The Walrus' style though.

for someone who hasn't ever heard a hip song, and if they were stoned i'd play grace, too and Eldorado for them. They are trippy when baked!

That's what I was thinking as I read through this and tried to think of 'trippy' TTH tunes. And that got me thinking how odd it is that a dual-guitar rock outfit like TTH doesn't really 'do' any trippy songs.
Most of The Hip's "forefathers" were keen on gettin' trippy. All the 'classic rock' types got pretty trippy at times. The legendary British bands did -- Who, Stones, Zep, Floyd, etc. And so did many of the major North American outfits -- Doors, Allmans, CCR, CSN, Neil Young, etc; and so of course do all the "jam" bands like Phish, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, etc.

I'd have to go with Sharks, and all of DFN.
