HANGING ON EVERY WORD! First Time Hearing Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind Reaction!

[@ericgo2293]

Great song. One important typo in the lyrics video, however: it reads "I'm just trying to understand the feelings that you've LEFT" but I believe that actual line is "the feelings that you LACK" (it reads that way on his official website). That's a significant difference in the tone of the song. Just FYI. And I have to say I have really appreciated your music reactions. You are one of the few "reactors" on youtube that don't seem to be doing over-the-top fake stuff or trying to just generate clicks. Your reactions seem genuine and your commentary is thoughtful and not over-the-top. Good stuff.

[@heidiv5488]

There are a few typos in the lyrics. I find that most lyric videos that reactors use are full of errors because the people making them are just too stupid and lazy to get it right.

[@cjstato]

This is in my top 5 songs of all time. So important to me personally. It's "lack". You are 100% right. If anyone disagrees then...

[@kathyshaw3253]

Being from Canada you should watch the Canadian Railroad Trilogy

[@MrRandyv]

I looked up the lyrics and I can see what your saying; however, I’m not really sure, as to which word is correct. I have always thought it to be “left”; which to me, makes more sense, to the story line, where she has left him and he is trying to cope, with his feelings. If you use “lack” you would be correct in your position. There would quite a difference, to the meaning. It would be instead of him dealing, with his feelings, it would be him wondering why she doesn’t have any feelings, now if ever, for him.

[@richardhoward6564]

He also changed the word later after speaking to his Daughter. He changed the Word to "We" instead of You.

[@robertfindley921]

One of the best songs ever written. Perfect lyrics, music, guitar and vocals. A masterpiece. RIP.

It's haunting musical and lyrical qualities always evoke the bittersweet sadness of any failed relationship... his voice conveys this perfectly.

[@boeing757pilot]

Exactly. It's haunting and beautiful..

[@metalmark1214]

One of Lightfoot's most personal songs, "If You Could Read My Mind" is about the breakup of his first marriage - a common theme in many of his songs. In the liner notes of his boxed set Songbook, he describes it as "a song about the failure of marriage." Lightfoot acknowledged that his infidelity doomed his first marriage, which offers some insight into this song. The lyrics are vivid, likening his story to a paperback novel or an old-time movie Source: Songfacts

[@robertd3564]

Thanks for that little piece of knowledge-you gave me an avenue to explore! Peace to you friend ❤

[@harlowrioux5790]

The fact is Gordon never fell out of love with his first wife Brita, who is the inspiration for this song and dozens and dozens he wrote before, during and long after their marriage ended. For a myriad of reasons and EXCUSES, past traumas and "devastating experiences", none having to do with Brita, Lightfoot imploded their marriage by habitually committing adultery. It is not excessive to state he went through women sometimes by the dozens in a day or weekend, throughout the marriage. Oddly, he did not cheat on her during their courtship. In fact, he was terrified Brita would leave him. He considered her his best friend and admired her independent, adventurous nature, which he strongly related to. When Brita left him he was devastated. Lay on the floor of their empty home day and night for weeks, only getting up to use the bathroom. He wouldn't eat or drink. Other than to drink more booze -part of the acceleration in his drinking which also contributed to her leaving with their two toddlers. HE tried unsuccessfully, to win her back during the 3 plus year divorce proceedings, even leaving live in love Cathy Smith multiple times for chances to reunite with Brita-which al\ways ended in failure due to his drinking and frightening temper. Throughout Lightfoot's tumultuous years in the whole of the seventies, caused by endless bad choices in relationships, alcoholism that was literally killing him and uncontrollable mood swings that derailed his career, Lightfoot continued to wrote songs for and about Brita-all of them love songs that were no longer scathed with blame Many reflected upon all he'd lost when Brita moved on. There are songs of joy, as well, which celebrate those qualities about her personality he would never find in another woman. There are songs that are odes to her womanhood, celebrating her body not in the simplistic, crude language of modern pop and rock, but harkening back to the poetry of transcendentalists'. Sensual, erotic, and evocative. A night they spent together years after the divorce became such a song: 'Spanish Moss.' a memory of making love to Brita by a sycamore she found surrounded by trees laden with Spanish Moss illuminated in glowing white by the moon. And it was Brita who, despite all he'd done in the past to hurt her and their children, was one of his strongest advocates during his recovery from alcoholism. When finally sober and clear headed he took full responsibility for the destruction of the marriage stating he'd caused "real human trauma" in her and his children. For the rest of his life, he practiced grace and empathy, as well. While living in a Constan t state of repentance. He successfully repaired the relationships with his six children, worked on peaceful relations with the various mothers of those children while continually learning better ways to express anger and co[pe with his deep depression. So much of his rebirth was because of her. For an astomidshi9ng 60 plus years, from their first meeting in Toronto. long before his fame until his own death in 2023, he wrote songs for Brita. But, I think, he'd have much rather have done something else: He would have traded it all in, all the achievements if it meant having her back with him. If only he hadn't blown it all to he)) way back when.

[@MongooseTales]

Top-notch storytelling in that one, plus impressive change-ups to the melody and pacing as the song unfolds.

[@headlibrarian1996]

Canadian Railroad Trilogy is the more famous track but I think Crossroads is the better song about working across the country. A killer track with just guitar and harmonica.

[@peircedan]

Yes I think "Canadian Railroad trilogy" has the story telling element you like and it is mostly upbeat. Another sad out of the news story is told in "Black day in July". A really haunting story.

[@waltshields5483]

This song takes me back to when I came back from Vietnam and was stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado. My wife had left me before I got home and I always think of the guys that didn't make it home.

That's rough mate. Glad you made it back.

[@ejaedike]

I hope you had some brother or friends to talk it out with. My eldest brother went to Nam, for two tours, and I would go hunting and fishing with him. That was the only time I could get him to open up. And over time, we discussed so much of being alive in the paradise that we can exist in here and now. Like Tao philosophers had said: The things one doesn't understand as hurtful, are a blessing to you - not understanding what worse time you would have had without that experience.

Such a great song! I was so sad to hear of Gordon Lightfoot's passing away recently. Loved his music. One of the best songwriters & storytellers. He was a Canadian legend. Gordon Lightfoot had so many hits through his long career such as "Early Morning Rain", "Steel Rail Blues", "Ribbon Of Darkness", "Carefree Highway", "Rainy Day People", "Cotton Jenny", "Black Day In July", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" etc.

[@JK-zo1pd]

One of the Great Canadian artists🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@vanessa4u4evr]

Gordon is an amazing storyteller, as were many artists from that era. They just put it all out on the table partly for their own release, and partly to engage the listener in searching their own souls for these same experiences that they have swept under the rug in an attempt to escape heartache and pains that they would rather not, or simply don't know how to heal, but know that they must.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

My sister LOVED Sundown so much. But I love it all. He was great.

[@hongfang2348]

Gordon said, the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back. He is writing about a breakup in a very poetic way.

[@punkydoodle4774]

The lyrics said, "the feelings that you've left," but it should read, "the feelings that you lack." It sounds like they both fell out of love.

[@untiltheendoftime1527]

Yeah I always thought it was "feelings that you lack", and I had the captions on which said "lack" but the screen lyrics seemed wrong.

[@pastormikeleiter]

You are correct. An interesting bit of trivia is that his children felt that he was blaming his ex wife too much in this song with the one sided line "the feelings that you lack" so in later live versions, Gordon adapted the lyrics to say, "The feelings that we lack." Example here kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGSYiZeHrduJgJIsi=b151e6lZgOYpBdu6&t=199

[@punkydoodle4774]

@@pastormikeleiter, he DOES say "the feeling's gone, and I just can't get it back." Twice. I think that connotes that it's two-sided.

[@pastormikeleiter]

@@punkydoodle4774 I can't disagree w/ you there.

[@harlowrioux5790]

No. The fact is, they didn't fall out of love. Particularly Lightfoot, who despite all his cheating and songs written about the cheating, completely fell apart when she left him. Some of his most gut-wrenching love songs are about Brita. 'The Last Time I saw Your Face.' ; Apology' which he called the natural precursor to IYCRMM. 'Beautiful' was for her on the eve of the finalization of their divorce.IN fact, when she first left with their toddlers in tow, he couldn';t get up from the floor other than to use the bathroom. He stopped eating and drinking. When he moved in with his mistress, he abruptly left her several times determined to move back in with Brita in order to start over again. But his drinking put an end to each attempt. Brita, for her part, remained a part of his life until she died in 2011. He wrote about their relationship before, during and after their divorce until the day he died. There is more to Lightfoot than 'If You Could REad My Mind' and so much more about the relationship to be found in other songs. Ut's a shame people don't really look further into his astonishing catalogue of songs, because there are songs better than 'If You Could Read My Mind' like 'Spanish MOss' and 'You Are What I Am.' He never ever got over losing her.

[@ChrisLegner-qp1yh]

Very personal lyrics that nearly everyone can relate to on some level. That's not easy to do, but is why this song is timeless.

[@richardryan5826]

Because you've talked about a cover of this song, I recommend Fotheringay's recording of Gordon Lightfoot's "The Way I Feel." Their version is sad but beautiful.

[@beckiramsey9561]

[@cainealexander-mccord2805]

Fun fact. The late, great radio host, Art Bell, was *mad* for Lightfoot. He used his songs as bumper music all the time, etc. Well, Art was all about the paranormal. Anything will do. Well, he got it into his head that these lyrics were quasi-spooky. Like he's literally a ghost watching this woman. So, Art had him on and breathlessly asked what the song was about. Was it ghosts? "No," said Mr. Lightfoot, only so slightly confused. "It was about when my wife and I were separating and I felt distinctly unseen by her." You could almost hear the disappointment in Mr. Bell's voice. Of course, he also thought the Blair Witch film was actual found footage and that those poor kids had died. Usually, he was a pretty smart guy. We all have our moments. RIP Bell. RIP Lightfoot.

[@NoLegalPlunder]

He had so many incredible songs. In my opinion his album Don Quixote is the greatest album ever recorded. It's one of those albums you have to listen to over and over again and it gets better with every listen. The song Christian Island on it is one of the most evocative songs I've ever heard. It makes me want to buy a sailboat and be free.

[@renyauger4560]

Glad to see new listeners discovering one of our Canadian 🇨🇦 national treasures. He may be gone (we still miss him) but his music will stay forever. Although I’m very happy that his genius is enjoyed all around the world there are some artists that we Canadians feel extra connected to, Gordon is definitely one of them and the fact that he chose to live his life here in Canada is something special to us. He loved his home, the same can be said for Michael Buble who grew up in Burnaby, BC and who’s main home is not far from his childhood house and about five minutes from where I live. Joni Mitchell is another special Canadian artist as is Celine.

[@RabbiSteve1]

Thank you for this reaction. And yeah, you get it: he’s a master storyteller. But the big difference between this and “TWoTE”, is this song is more personal. It’s the story of his breakup. But you are still correct: both great storytelling. One historic and one personal.

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Gordon Lightfoot was one of Canada's best singer/songwriters! I have loved this song for a long, long time. I loved it even more after a presentation/analysis of it (musically) by Rich Beato (on KZbin). One gets swept up on the lyrics and there are all kinds of things going on musically in the arrangement that are just brilliant! You mentioned the strings, but there are also tiny string fills and guitar fills too. At one point in the song, Gordon is harmonizing with himself with the magic of technology. BTW, this song came out decades before The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. I'll bet you would love Approaching Lavender, Minstrel of the Dawn, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Rainy Day People, Cotton Jenny, and there are so many more! Don Quixote comes to mind. Such a deep catalogue! RIP Gordon!

Written by the late Gordon Lightfoot. RIP 🙏 Great 👍 He was 1 of the singers at the folk festival when Bob Dylan went electric. The audience booed Dylan. But, Lightfoot stood with him. They stayed as friends. Years later, Bob Dylan was the presenter for Lightfoot on his induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. He was a member of the supergroup Northern Lights. He was the 1st voice in the song Tears Are Not Enough. Suggested videos 📹: 1 Northern Lights perform Tears Are Not Enough 2 Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Cash sing Thank You for Loving Me.

Gordon Lightfoot was a poet who put his storytelling to music with a kind, melodic voice that just touches each note to empathize the emotion in the story. I can’t imagine anyone making this into any other genre. That would ruin it.

Listen to Lightfoot's epic "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"! My Dad, who was also Gordon, had a few records by Lightfoot in the 1970's. (My parents had Simon & Garfunkel, Petula Clark, Glen Cambell, the Carpenters,....and they accepted my Brother and I getting into other music. We had Cool Parents!) In 2017, Gordon L' toured and came to our near Ohio -got tickets! Lightfoot was an older man, more frail than how he appeared with the stature of a a lumberjack, in the 70's,....yet, he was still with fine voice, guitar skills, and a good band. Glad to see Gordon, with my Dad! My Dad died a few months before, at 84 years, due to Dementia,....I was always happy to go to music concerts with my Dad, or my Brother (Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Metallica, Diana Krall, Tom Petty) - yes, without my Dad now, yet, fine experiences and shared music as a big part....

"Black Day In July" is a faster paced but still emotional song that was banned by some radio stations when it was released about the 1967 riots in Detroit. He wrote it as quickly as he did for "The Edmund Fitzgerald" when he first heard of this historical tragedy. It would be a good song to react. * NOTE: It was not a state ban, but a decision by radio producers not to play it. "TOO SOON" probably became a saying because of this song.
