Tragically Hip: Nautical Disaster Lyrics Print (12.5" x 12.5")
Manmade Art Meet the Maker: Manmade Art
$44.00
This 'Nautical Disaster' art print offers Tragically Hip fans a visual interpretation of a classic from their 1994 Day for Night album, recently voted to CBC Radio's top 10 list of fan-favourite Hip songs. There is no absolute consensus on the meaning behind the lyrics but in a Can-Rock interview, Gord Downie said the song was inspired by the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck on May 27, 1941, at 10:39 AM in the frigid waters off France— a wreck that claimed over 2000 lives.
The artist was inspired to make this print because Disaster is among his favourite Hip tunes as well. The design evolved from hours of listening to the lyrics and the mental images they drew in his mind. An antique nautical chart in the background overlaid on a vintage, period 1940s alarm clock sets up the story. An image of the Bismarck incorporated into the face of the clock connects the 'disaster' theme to the 'dream' concept woven through Downie's lyrics. Using an alarm invokes the concept of him waking from his dream. The hands of the clock are set to 10:39, and subtle details such as the latitude and longitude coordinates of the ship's resting place and S.O.S. Morse Code are added to the story. The clock face features the artists favourite passage from the song's lyrics.
This art print makes a great addition to any Tragically Hip fan's collection or any art lover that appreciates musically-inspired artwork for their home decor.
Print size is 12.5" x 12.5" (31.75 x 31.75 cm).

Tragically Hip: Bobcaygeon Lyrics Print (12.5" x 12.5")
$44.00
A visual interpretation of the Tragically Hip’s classic 1999 rock anthem. From the artist...
"Some say the tune is about combatting intolerance, racism and conflicted emotions. The Hip reference the town of Bobcaygeon as a metaphor to reconciling the all of these. The night skies over the rural Kawartha Lakes town offer clarity away from Toronto’s turmoil and bright lights. I grew up in the area, frequenting the backroads, lakes and rivers in the area. I'm also a longtime fan of the Hip and believe very strongly in fighting intolerance and racism. The use of the compass is a nod to elements of the Phantom Power album cover graphics. The design is set against the calm stars of the Milky Way Galaxy and features Ursa Minor (The Little Dipper) constellation anchored to the north."
This art print makes a great addition to any Tragically Hip fan’s collection or any art lover that appreciates musically-inspired artwork for their home.
