Toronto Mike'd: The Official Toronto Mike Podcast - FOTM Beck Has Passed Away

Episode Date: March 29, 2022

FOTM Becky Dinwoodie has passed away suddenly. This is for her.

There's a world container with your name on it And a billion ways to go berserk When the country quits on you It must be dinner And the handler on this one Is there's no dessert He's the one who couldn't imagine All the people living life in peace.

Good news, you get to vanish. Go to Cleveland, be an indie smash. The good news is now you're smaller. The bad news is you can be smaller than that Go sex and souls, be a reader, get used Laugh at a funeral or two Laugh and laugh till all the chameleons turn black Laugh and laugh till you're told please don't come back

Then fake incredulous say, I just can't believe. How'd it get this late so early? Say, ain't life a grand and I'm an all y'all. Then drop into your haunted bunk. Hey Mike and my fellow FOTMs, it's Becky. This is my third jam and I was going to try and record it outside to capture some bird song to give it the backyard studio feel, but I don't trust my recording capabilities that much. This is one of my absolute favorite songs by the Tragically Hip. It's World Container.

And I listened to this album non-stop while traveling in Europe. I thought it was fitting since Gord was singing There's a World Container with your name on it. There are so many great lyrics in this song. And my absolute favorite is How'd it get This Late So Early. And I think it perfectly captures the best nights that I've had in my life where time seems to fly by and the night goes by in an instant. And I think it also makes me think about Gord's passing

since it got late much too early for him. So, enjoy. Enjoy. in progress we're all songs of one song and that song is don't forget we're all songs of one song and that song is don't forget

we're all songs of one song and that song is don't forget We're all songs of one song and that song is done for, yeah.
