Grace, Too

The Hip often opened shows with this tune. One of those shows happened to be their set at Woodstock '99, and lead singer Gord Downie joyfully proclaimed that he felt "Woodstockerific."

This song is very much open to interpretation. It could be the story of a man trying to seduce a woman (possibly a prostitute) with tales of his prowess, or even a murder plot. According to the Hip Museum, lead singer Gord Downie told a fan that "Grace, Too" was the name of a canoe that one of his teachers owned. The teacher never gave a straight answer as to how how it got the name.
