I've been revisiting some of the early bootlegs lately. One of the things that I'd forgotten is how many songs Gord Sinclair wrote before UTH came out (Small Town Bringdown, Last American Exit, Get Back Again, etc).
I know with UTH and every album after, songwriting credits were attributed to the whole Tragically Hip band, and it has been a collaborative process among the bandmates for the overall song (music plus lyrics). But, it is generally assumed (correct me if I'm wrong) that Downie has written the lyrics since Road Apples.
However, some of the UTH songs had been around awhile before the album and it wouldn't surprise me that Sinclair wrote the lyrics to some of them - I would guess Another Midnight, Trickle Down, She Didn't Know. Just curious, anyone here know?
