Gordon Lightfoot Sings I'll Tag Along

[@waynegatehouse3998]

It doesn't get any better!!!! I have had the privilege to see Mr. Lightfoot 27 times, I truly wish I was there that night.

[@wandamundy1759]

He wasn't just our musical poet laureate - a Canadian icon - a legendary troubador and poet . . . he was FAMILY. There wasn't a home in Canada where he wouldn't have been welcome. He was ours - and we were his. He was well loved - and we will miss him forever . . .

[@michaelelliott3209]

On May 1st, 2023 I lost an old musical companion. Gordon passed away at 84. His music was and still is my main inspiration to/for my own guitar picking.. ❤️ The immense catalogue of songs he's written and can still remember how to sing and play them is why he's the best.

[@gkmacbeth8225]

One of my favourite songs. I predict the legend of Lightfoot will only grow as the years go by.

[@tmo7734]

What can I say? An absolutely wonderful talent. I'm so sorry that Gordon passed away. May he rest in peace. 🙏

[@Tsukamaki]

Some folks are hearing an old singer maybe past his prime. Me, I'm hearing experience, passion and a love for performing.

[@Tsukamaki]

@Alyson Statler My dear, I completely agree with the entirely of what you wrote. My heart is still heavy with his passing and it’ll be a while before things are passable. Very melancholy feelings.

[@ivangranger8494]

And the Soul that is there for his audience, in spite of being tired from decades, lived. Gordon, May you have had a fantastic time on your journey from your beautiful Ontario and loved ones there, to your home above. ✨🕊✨

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Absolutely!

[@juliam.mallen9019]

@@ivangranger8494 beautifully expressed 👌

[@johnrush4153]

Brings a tear to my eyes everytime.

[@dwrbrtsn]

This song brings me to tears.

[@waynegatehouse3998]

Well done Mr. Lightfoot, the first time that I watched you I was 14 at Massy Hall, and never missed a chance to see you, may you sing for ever in heaven. God bless you and rest your soul.

[@rochellefreed1287]

My all-time favorite singer-songwriter! It pains me to see Gordon so frail!

[@MrJones-ge5sl]

"Smoke rings rising 'til they disappear, in the sky above" is one of the sweetest melodic hooks ever written. I put I'll Tag Along and Shadows right up there with If You Can Read My Mind as some of the greatest ballads of all time.

[@LinYouToo]

Agree!!

[@Palosrob]

Lightfoot near the end...just as good as Lightfoot at the beginning. When he's gone, I will remember him until I die.

[@metoo9360]

None of us know the hour and time of our passing... we might be gone before the next sun rises. I just hope they have music in Heaven... and wonderful artists like Gordon Lightfoot. Oh wait - this must be heaven right here and now!

[@jodyb3491]

Gordon don't care when it happens. He's going on his own terms whenever it does.

[@michaelelliott3209]

May 1st, 2023. He was 84.

[@wendyannh]

@@michaelelliott3209 Oh no! What a loss! What amazing gifts he has left us, though.

[@maryr7964]

This is the sweetest song. Makes me want to listen to him forever.

[@mikegreive570]

I will love Gordon's music as long as I live.

[@recyclerking1]

Pure Magic .

[@alankenworthy9722]

What a privilege for those present. He belongs to Canada , he belongs to the world, and he belongs to me.

[@nicholasinnorthcarolina1918]

This time tomorrow, we might all be packed and gone. I believe it’s best we carry on. Smoke rings rising ‘till they disappear in the sky above .....and if you ask me,, I’ll tag along.

[@freespyrit]

Gordon Lightfoot is Beautiful.

[@rocksinger45]

You keep on singing I'll keep on listening ...The truest music I've ever known. Thanks Gordon :)

[@oonojoe]

Amen.

[@bsc4344]

i wish i was mature enough to have followed the sentiment of this song, before my brother died in the military, and cancer robbed me of my my mother... All I have now is a 14 yr old faithful furry who saved my soul as much as I allegedly “saved “ him from dog shelter euthanasia. This song and beautiful sentiment is fully pertinent to his life too. I tag along with him, and vice versa... pals to the end, which tearfully is coming soon. Whether it’s him, or my now “packed and gone” big brother, or my supernaturally wonderful late mother... the least i can do now is walk slower and attentive with the furry. The words and the heart applies. Love those who mean something to your life NOW... instead of sad regret when they go. Thanks for your spellbinding legacy, RIP Mr Lightfoot... you are missed, with other ppl loved.

[@Northyorkspaul]

He did fantastic ..with being quite frail...RIP Legend.

[@TheCream14]

Such a great talent and great guy. A real positive influence in my life.

[@diskman3001]

He may have health challenges, but you gotta give him credit for doing it anyway

[@elizabethboyes-7955]

i listen to Gordie almost everyday now and always will

[@Pinrod93]

I've seen Gordon 4 times in Huntsville, Alabama and met him twice! He has been a great influence and my hero since I was a young man back in the 70's. God bless and keep you Gordon! David Barr

[@papo1417]

Mr. Lightfoot will forever be a one of a kind. I will sing his songs till the day I die!

[@grahamstokes2696]

Ever excellent, and poignant now that he passed away last night. Big influence on me and mine since 67.

[@Loyster14]

I hear a very heartfelt song with much feeling with some insight . A guitar played with a masters touch . Put all together a story .

[@1JDS4U]

Wish I had been on that audience. Love and miss you Mr Lightfoot. Thank you for the music of my life.

[@Cat-hn2on]

I was drifting off to sleep listening to this song. What a sweeeet lullaby.

[@janebishop5885]

What a memorable voice! Wonderful performance. Thank you for continuing to speak to us as you always have. What a talent!

[@edamesify]

True legend. Thanks for the beautiful music that continues to inspire the current generation of song writers and performers. I'm learning how to play this song just now.

[@23chicomaple]

Legendary awesomeness!

[@juliam.mallen9019]

Beautiful song wonderful testimony awesome footage.. thanks for sharing!

[@johngabriel8288]

We are witnessing probably, the most significant musical Canadian artist, in a sense, the faithful keeper of the Canadian story. Unrivaled. IMO ...no better example of the craft of concise “Folk” song authorship.

[@kennewicksheri]

so choice...... so very choice..... so very choice Ooh I miss this man

[@laurabartoletti6412]

🦅💙 Gordon Lightfoot , ICON ! 🎶👏🥰

[@sweetcaroline2060]

Well. That was very cool. He looks good, sounds good and I'm glad these videos keep popping up, although sometime I'm going to have to get back to work. Thanks, you all for the post.

[@waynegatehouse3998]

Well done Gord, may you rest well, your songs will never be forgotten.

[@juliecolby8354]

Gotta know when to hold em and when to fold em. A great writer that really needs to stop performing

[@georgejovian3857]

NO! You just don't get it. You need to evolve and expand.

[@teresacrawford1239]

It isn't just about his voice. Sometimes you need to appreciate what lies under. There are stories that made history. I know I could never come close to doing fraction of what he accomplished. The man was a gift to so many and will contine to be. He stuck to his roots and did not sell out his country. Canada was first and foremost. He was a proud Canadian and we are very proud of him.
