the Canadian poet Gord was different and made a whole nation mourn. RIP brother

Gord would often introduce this song (live) saying that he’s a door to door salesman who is selling fear to people. I personally think that's the base upon which he makes metaphors about media/news. Brilliant lyricist and one of the best band frontmen of all time. [edit] I wanted to add that the final verse lyrics always make me think of the Halifax Harbour explosion in the early 1900s. Gord loved incorporating Canadian history into his lyrics. "On the morning of 6 December 1917 the French cargo ship SS Mont-Blanc collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo in the harbour of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Mont-Blanc, laden with high explosives, caught fire and exploded, devastating the Richmond district of Halifax. At least 1,782 people were killed, largely in Halifax and Dartmouth, by the blast, debris, fires, or collapsed buildings, and an estimated 9,000 others were injured. The blast was the largest human-made explosion at the time."

It's great seeing you do another Hip song

Musically.getting James Taylor vibes here. As for the lyrics ... well some people like to be scared ... it makes them feel more alive ... and some people like to make people scared ... it makes them easier to manipulate ...

You should do "Dogma" by Marilyn Manson
