Single Artwork // DOWNLOAD HIGH-RES Today, Gord Downie, the iconic frontman of The Tragically Hip, and Bob Rock, the legendary producer perhaps best known for Metallica’s Black Album, together share The Raven And The Red-Tailed Hawk the second missive of their long mythologized collaboration.
“I am grateful that I got to witness his genius in such close proximity. Lesson 3: Secret Path Stranger Lyrics by Gord Downie and Jef Lemire Note: This lesson was done ater we introduced with Lesson 1 and 2 and the classroom teacher went over the images in the Secret Path irst as a whole class. She gave me matchesSeven little, wooden matches
She put them into a small, slim, glass jar
With a screw-top lid
I fingered that jar
I put it in my pocket
She said cant go in the woods without them
I smiled and her and left
And I kept them dry
And as long as there.

“First and foremost Gord was my friend, and having the opportunity to work with him on these songs was one of the biggest highlights of my professional life,” says Rock. Days glowing, igniting Exploding into nights Nights, 'I'm cold', I'm here 'Hold me closer to the day' Days it's in your blood Nights you never dreamed (It's supposed to be a dream) Nights lost in. The sonic spaces that Rock would provide incited Downie to delve into the depths of his notebooks, armed with the musical clues to find the brilliance mapped therein. It was after the production of the second outing that Downie asked if Rock had music he could write lyrics for. Defiant, with a crystal clear fury in his voice not heard since The Tragically Hip’s Man Machine Poem farewell tour, Gord unfurls pristine lyrical strands from Rock’s cathedral of sound, divining imagery both raucous and gothic–“we float above the wreck … like A Scene From the Deluge.”Ĭompared to the raw intimacy of Downie’s posthumous solo releases–2017’s letter to loved ones Introduce Yerself, and 2020’s ghostly goodbye Away Is Mine–“Lustre Parfait” is a rallying cry from a voice that echoes loud and clear: Gord Downie, in the pocket of a gleaming rock band, relentless, lit up by the risk of collaboration, blazing on the edge of experimentation.ĭownie and Rock’s collaboration began when they first worked together on The Tragically Hip’s World Container (2006) and We Are The Same (2009).
