Sherpa - cochise - 08-18-2010
Listening to my iPod on shuffle last night and Sherpa came on............never hear much talk of it on here, but definitely one of my all time fav Hip songs.......thought it was time to give a bit of kuddos to how great a song it is.........
[youtube]w77WmY-udp0[/youtube]
Me and the vivid girl in our hammock to the stars
staring into the fire before TV, the remote-control's on Mars
In the dope of the pigment, in a poetic state of mind
in a flood of the country we lay down to kill some time
And we spoke languidly of the Northern Bee
and collecting dewdrops for tea underneath the cannonball tree
We were high, we were sherpa-high,
we conspired against old friends
we said we must be friends or die
and we've died a thousand times since then
And we spoke long, at length of the fight or flee
and of nothing in particularly underneath the cannonball tree
We spoke off-handedly of the new extremes
and of nothing in particularly underneath the cannonball tree
We're at the point where we love or hate it
we can write it down and obliterate it
when we're at the point when we neither love nor hate it
we can lay down and obliterate it

Sherpa is a highlight in their catalogue for me as well.
Got to see it once back in 2006!

I also love this song. I was lucky enough to be underneath the cannon ball tree at Memorial stadium in St. John's when they played it on the tath tour.

I love sherpa. it is definatley one of my top 10 Hip songs. I really wish that they would play it more. My favourite live version is from August 1995 when Gord intro's it as "This is a new song, we don't have a name for it yet."

Awesome tune. Love the lyrics
Re: Sherpa - sean.bonner - 08-29-2010
I also absolutely love the intro/whole performance of Sherpa that was included in the Live10 series from a 'Vancouver Rehearsal'.

I agree with everyone here. Great song!
