8. Last Night I Dreamed You Didn't Love Me

where have I heard this before?

Isn't there a Led Zeppelin song with those lyrics in it? I'm not sure, but it's probably based on the hipeponymous poem rather than a Zeppelin Cover...

Very interesting tracklist. This album is gonna be great. I can tell right now.

Mark my words!

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", or "just as that". In writing, it is italicized and placed within square brackets — [sic] — to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, or other preceding quoted material is a verbatim reproduction of the quoted original and is not a transcription error.

This may be used either to show that an uncommon or archaic usage is reported faithfully (for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution, "The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker...") or to highlight an error, often for the purpose of ridicule or irony (for instance, "Dan Quayle famously changed a student's spelling to 'potatoe' [sic]"), or otherwise, to quote accurately whilst maintaining the reputation of the person or organisation quoting its source.

In folk etymology, "sic" is sometimes erroneously thought to be an abbreviation of "spelling is correct", "same in copy", "spelled incorrectly", "spelling incompetent", "said in context", "stupid in context", or "spelling intentionally changed", to cite but a few backronyms.

Well thank you James/Hairbird...I have often wondered exactly what those three little bracketed letters mean...I always meant to do some internet research on the subject, but you have answered my question...

On a related observation, with the titles of track 5, track 8, and the first line of track 3, The Hip have used the word Love (Luv) at least 3 times on this album...I'm not sure if Steven's lyric page can provide a quick answer, but I'm wondering how many times in the past 10 albums the word "love" is featured in the lyrics...I'm not against using the word, but one thing that I always thought separated Gord's lyrics from the mainstream was that he didn't use the standard "I love you / you love me /silly love song" style in his writing...

I don't want to jump to conclusions (and we haven't really heard tracks 5 and 8 yet), but it does seem a little different.

... or to highlight an error, often for the purpose of ridicule or irony (for instance, "Dan Quayle famously changed a student's spelling to 'potatoe' [sic]")....

Actually, that example shows an incorrect use. Since the misspelling is already in quotation marks, and the context makes clear that spelling is the issue, the "sic" is redundant.

Must be from Wikipedia.

Luv(sic).

Gord talked about this when CMG came out on an interview on the CBC with Sheilagh Rogers. I believe it was supposed to be a poem that got cut. It's kind of tongue-in-cheek. While it sounds like "Love Sick" it's also playing on 'sic' which means an intentional mis-spelling (i.e. 'luv' in this case).

Further to this, in the interview he joked he would start a family band and call them 'Luv(sic)'. I see another track on the album is called 'Family Band'.

Thanks,
Kevin

I'm listening to Nautical Disaster from 2005-09-03. During a rant in the solo at the end, I notice Downie sings something about a "family band".

He sings "I'm going to get me a family band"

Could the stuff around it be the rest of the song?

new orleans is beat/nauticle disaster from moncton?
i guess gotta listen more closley at the end...

[googolplex]

Wasn't there a quote a while back from Gord saying that the new album was about love? Also didn't he say that he intended a bunch of these songs to be solo stuff but he took it to the band and they turned into Hip songs?

It looks like that's what we've got.

Exactly... I thought that I posted this earlier in this thread, but I guess not.

Gord said almost exactly this during our chat at Holiday Jam last December.

Perhaps. I could definitely see songs like In View, Pretend, and Fly on a Gord solo album. But songs like Lonely End of the Rink and The Drop Off are quite different and are very Hip-esque in their heaviness. I doubt those ones were ever intended to be solo tunes.

Hmmmm, I just happened to notice something, which means absolutely nothing, but I think it's cool.

I think you forgot to credit your source.. :wink:

But, at least you put it in quotes and didn't post it as if it's your own (like some on here do).

[Marcus1970]

In response to jvjones, the Hip have many songs that reference the word "love". In fact, Impossibilium starts off with the same 3 words as In View.

However, I do find Gord is a little more clever with his references and doesn't always use the word "love" as a standard catch phrase.

Other songs include: Dire Wolf, Fire in the Hole, 700 ft Ceiling, Flamenco, Leave, Sherpa, I'll Believe in You, Freak Turbulence, Are You Ready, All Canadian Surf Club, Eldorado, The Wherewithal, Are We family, Fully Completely and Throwing Off Glass.

I'm sure there are more.

Yeah sorry, that should have read something like:

Sic is...

Skippy was correct in his grammatical attack.
