"At the Hundredth Meridian" is the fourth single by The Tragically Hip from the band's 1992 album, ''Fully Completely''. The song is a reference to the 100th meridian west, which is a line of longitude that separates much of Western Canada from the Central and Atlantic regions of Canada and is where the Great Plains begin, as lead-singer Gordon Downie states in the song. The song peaked at #18 on the Canadian ''RPM'' Singles chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top Singles - Volume 57, No. 25, July 03 1993 )〕 The song was also featured in the ''Due South'' episode "Heaven and Earth" in 1995. When performing the song live, the band often plays it at a significantly faster tempo than on the album, and uses the instrumental break for a jam session lasting several minutes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Tragically Hip - At the Hundredth Meridian - Live at Copps Coliseum )〕 ==Music video== The music video for "At the Hundredth Meridian" was directed by Peter Henderson.
