calzephyrI just realized how many Hip songs are about water, or at least dangerous weather. No official video for this song, but it was always a favourite...Phantom Power is one of my favourite Hip albums, and it was mostly about weather.
Nautical Disaster...oof, 1990s videomaking!
AND OF COURSE...New Orleans Is Sinking. I have a ton of bootleg live versions - the Hip play a great live show and I regret missing them last year the Rotary fundraiser with 54-40. The "Killer Whale Tank" version is super righteous.
Gord Downie also got the water spot in this song featuring titans of socially conscious music, Midnight Oil...love this song...

I always liked Midnight Oil because the problems they sung about were very Canadian despite the fact that they were Australian (natural resources, aboriginal relations, member of the Commonwealth and all that).
