Hopefully Mr. Lightfoot heard Darwin's excellent version before he left this planet.

[@Txdvsz]

Darwin you nailed it. Gordon would be proud.

[@juligrlee556]

Darwin puts emotions into words. I love his work.

[@mikeknowles8017]

Dar gets this one exactly right. He does my favorite vesion of one of my favorite songs. RIP Gordon Lightfoot - you left an incredible legacy.

[@shortribslongbow5312]

This rendition is the best I've ever heard! Kudos all.

[@Snarkapotamus]

I just bought 2 Gordon Lightfoot albums at a yard sale this morning for $2 a piece! I almost feel like I hit the lottery. They were barely played and still in the shrink wrap! Great version by the way!

[@michaelmccullough8015]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for honoring Gordon, in my opinion the greatest singer/songwriter who ever lived. I saw him in concert 35 times, and was honored to meet him after a concert here in Chicago a few years ago. He was kind enough to pose for a picture with my wife and me.

[@pgrwrx]

Brilliant tribute to the late Gordon Lightfoot.

[@budlistar5312]

Groups like F&F will keep great music and songs like this alive forever. Thank you! RIP Gordon.

[@pl5bnsf]

Losing Gordon Lightfoot was such a loss. Thank you for posting this cover.

[@Brucev7]

Glad I got to see him

[@ctarabocchia]

@@Brucev7 I saw him last fall. I have mixed feelings about seeing him. On the one hand, I am glad that I got to see him before he passed away. On the other hand, due to his age and declining health, his performance was negatively impacted. I think somebody should have told him to retire sooner than he did.

[@Brucev7]

@@ctarabocchia You think, after hearing he was in the Hospital, and he was on a Tour, if he was trying to milk every last minute of his temporal life on Earth. It was around 10 yrs ago, when the concert was. You could tell much time had lapsed. But, as someone else posted, "He was very down to earth and personable."

[@charlesbarkley2883]

I respect who he was and what he was. If you can’t see past what age does to all of us it’s because you’re too young to understand. If you’re lucky, you’re time will come. A life doesn’t get frozen at a certain age. It evolves. You might get to decide when it’s time for you to quit. Don’t judge the choices made by others.

[@michaelparish9645]

@@Brucev7 I last saw him in concert 2011 in Canada and he was in good voice and after the show before he left he talk for about 20 minutes. It was in Cornwall Ontario.

[@Head-ck4hu]

Bob Dylan said last week, "Gordon died without ever writing a bad song. "

[@newtron1]

As with me and my wife, my late father-in-law was a huge fan of Gordo. He would be chuffed to know that they are both interred at the same cemetery in Orillia Ontario.

[@Vikezupa]

I moved from my home to the coast for work when I was 18. This song brings me tears because it completely describes how I felt as a kid, stepping into adulthood. Such a great rendition. Bittersweet memories. Love it!

[@FoxesandFossils]

HeY Ya'll Darwin is here. ThankTYou for listening

[@Brucev7]

Very Nice. I'm glad I got to see GL Blessings

[@medw7013]

Great job Darwin!!

[@gliebzeit]

Really beautiful performance, Darwin. Thank you for sharing, guys!

[@jamessandman3708]

Fantastic job Darwin!

[@lornapinkoff4747]

Such a pleasure to listen to……again and again.

[@geeeemn5010]

Gordon Lightfoot will be dearly missed. Thanks for this tribute to him.

[@NWLaserImage]

By far, one of the best covers you all do. Dar - your voice is absolutely perfect for ballads and Gordon Lightfoot would be honored by your performance!

[@cliffwolf]

Darwin brings it with great vocals and perfect pickin’. Great job.

[@SootHead]

Thank you for remembering him and helping us remember him better. At least one old soldier, me, considers this cover a "full military" sendoff.

[@bobnewberry368]

A Canadian legend. RIP Gordon Lightfoot 🇨🇦

[@woodywoodpecker9408]

Love the depth & tone of Darwins voice. And his guitar playing is fantastic!!

[@lelandrentz755]

Darwin what a great musician

[@garytorresani8846]

Thanks Darwin and F&F for this tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. And yes, Darwin kinda sounds like Willie Nelson.

[@user-ll7fv6tu7k]

More of the fossils, please! The old guys have so much skill and soul.

[@keithhunt4475]

Yup. That's a home run...

[@laurencewhite7722]

Jeeze, It just does not get any better than this folks. Wonderful !!!

[@hybridwolf66]

Absolutely amazing! Great vocals, great band, great song to cover. TY F&F!

[@cbgreely]

Like butter...

[@Vikezupa]

Love Darwin’s voice. Rich & full, full of soul. Loved it!

[@Desertphile]

When I hear Peter, Paul, and Mary sing this song, I stop what I am doing (including driving an automobile) to listen to it.

[@SMETSYSGNIMIT]

Beautiful tribute to one of the greatest we ever had among us. RIP Gordon. We all miss you.

[@km20061234]

Absolutely wonderful

[@mottledbrain]

A big thank you for sharing this. Obviously we must also give a big thank you to Gordon Lightfoot for writing (& recording) this song

[@nancyhillard6456]

Beautiful job! Gordon would be proud. Rest in Paradise ❤

[@BarChrome]

Just amazing. I have probably listened to this at least 25 or 30 times.

[@RockyOBrien-cu9xu]

At least......

[@bettybringhurst1606]

Thank you for honoring Gordon Lightfoot with this lovely cover.

[@ronwagner7963]

He does now that mention it!

[@billiegoodman4872]

Dammit, Darwin! You either making me cry or laugh. You’re a beautiful, emotive singer and I just love you to bits.

[@kathleenporter1959]

I am crying as I listen to Darwin sing this song so beautifully and with so much heartfelt emotion. Now my absolute favorite version of this Gordon classic. Thank you! Sending hugs to all F&F!

[@jaydickey1049]

Seems to me if you aren't dropping a few tears listening to this you are lacking something...

[@douglasrasmussen480]

Foxes and Fossils is not about finding superlative music, it is about finding an entire new plane of existence. A true musical multiverse!

[@austinteutsch]

Such a perfect version of the great song. Where are all the musical poets today? The Denvers, the Lightfoots, the Dylans? Where are they? Seriously. Are we that fucked up in this country?

[@wagonmaster1974]

I'd like to think Gordon will now smile and tap his angelic foot every time he hears Darwin sing this. Very nice harmony, Darwin and Tim. RIP, Gordon... Thanks for posting!

[@mikefrey7883]

Great live performance by Tim, Darwin, Richard and Johnny. It was the first encore song, as I recall.

[@carllester149]

This is an excellent tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, carefully crafted by Dar & fellow Fossils!

[@comiketiger]

Beautifully done. RIP Gordon Lightfoot. God bless all here.

[@MrGord61]

I knew Gordon. Always joked about our name being the most Canadian of names. Beautiful job. Big G is smiling.

[@robertwells6724]

Great cover a great artist we lost. RIP Gordon.

[@peteoconnor8808]

I believe a cup of coffee and a conversation with this man would solve a lot of people’s troubled hearts

[@stivo2663]

Wow. A comment worth reading!

[@fuzzskis333]

Well said my friend….

[@indyme2]

Awesome!

[@paulbeale5812]

This video is a great tribute to A great singer song writer.

[@Yooper2024]

Saw Gordon lightfoot many times at the old Massey Hall in Toronto in the 1970's...just fantastic. F&F do a great version of this song.

[@billhallenbeck2724]

Y'all are the best cover group ever. And in any art, perfection is a lost cause, but you are the closest I've found.

[@medw7013]

Rest in Peace Gordon. You gave us quite a few memories had by your songs. Darwin does great vocals on this one. F&F are always great to listen to.

[@PRR5406]

I first heard this performed by The Kingston Trio, then about three years ago Gordon Lightfoot came to the Maine Center for the Arts and performed all evening to perfection. Of course this was part of the performance, but Gordon sang just about everything for which he is remembered. Simply the best, finest concert I've ever attended - bar none. He opened the second set with "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", note for note sounding like a perfect recording, but very much alive. He is quite justly regarded as a Canadian National Treasure. God bless the time he wrote, sang, and performed amongst us. Darwin, you did him justice. Yours too, was a fine and soulful performance. This is just great band.

[@roberttroesch-edamsaskcana3652]

A beautiful tribute to an iconic singer songwriter who was very much loved by many fans 💕💕💕

[@usmapiper88]

One of my favorite Gordon Lightfoot songs. Always reminds me of my brother and my early days in the Army. Great rendition; you do it with finesse and emotion. Thank you

[@Vikezupa]

I love this band. Period.

[@adaltroczguitar]

What about those vocals? Beautiful!! What a moment for the ones watching it live!! 👏

[@13thBear]

I remember being in Georgia on a Sunday morning in a fine misty rain being lonely as hell. This song always takes me back there and I hope I never ever feel like that morning again. Good job, guys, and, of course, to Gordon who passed just recently.

[@t9cstudio]

Beautiful! Thank you

[@Vikezupa]

Darwin’s voice is as smooth as Tennessee whiskey. Beautiful!

[@chazfaz3595]

Simply Awesome!

[@grumpyadventures3843]

Darwin 's version of this is truly special. He applies the emotion the song needs, better than any I have heard. Thank you F&F.

[@Ilovenetworking]

Back again to hear Darwin play and sing this beautiful song.

[@danielgreen1080]

Darwin and Tim nailed it!

[@keithcollins6303]

I'm old enough to remember this song sung by Peter, Paul and Mary. It's the version that strikes a chord in me yet today. I didn't realize it was written by Gordon Lightfoot until just now. But I'm blown away with this F&F version sung by Darwin with harmony by Tim. As always they make every cover they do start a new life.

[@goldhat3]

My favorite Gordon tune, well done. He will be missed.

[@douglasrasmussen480]

Foxes and Fossils is not about finding superlative music, it is about finding an entire new plane of existence. A true musical multiverse!

[@saturnn77]

You did a great job with this song!! Like you, I grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot. He was a great poet... Again, wonderful Job !!

[@mic03chael]

I love Darwin's voice. He is a cool guitar player and can sing!

[@tombarclay7108]

Nice tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, a true storyteller. He will be missed.

[@tomsimpson8111]

Thank you for this incredible version of a truly great song

[@secretagent86]

RIP Gordon ❤❤❤

[@stevenkureczkasr6845]

One of F&F BEST to date that I have seen already in my playlist thank you from Buffalo NY

[@dallaswilliams8853]

Being Canadian & in light of Gordon Lightfoot's Death - Memories just flooded into my brain. I just wept. Reading the comments - I am not the only one that wept. Thank you Darwin and Fossils. It was such a beautiful rendition of the song.

[@dond.6604]

the whole concert was amazing!!! wish I could have seen it live. This is by far my favorite version of the song.. Vocals and instruments were fantastic,

[@bigmac9940]

Stunning as always. RIP Gordon Lightfoot.

[@odessa3186]

Gordo was a genius. Darwin you did him justice. If you love Gordon Lightfoot you have to like this. Great cover.

[@Mooseman327]

What a lovely version of a great song. Darwin sounds a bit like Willie Nelson, and that's a big compliment.

[@scotboy1297]

Was thinking the same, although Willie has a little more vibrato.

[@jeffbybee5207]

Maybe Darwin might do Pancho and lefty

[@Vikezupa]

Thinking the same thing.

[@Shortgrass796]

Honestly one of the top 2 or 3 covers F&F have ever done.

[@dallaswilliams8853]

I agree - - just amazing.

[@secretagent86]

Yes fabulous. My fav is suite judy blue eyes

[@bobburos8124]

100% truth!

[@MsLoriGold]

Thank you to one of Canada’s most precious gems! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@kenmorgan9470]

Love the photo of Scott on the table. RIP buddy

[@johnbender6042]

I saw that. Fantastic

[@fatcharlieuk]

As usual, tears in my eyes.

[@ricksmith4874]

Great tribute to Gordon Lightfoot. It really hurts to see these great ones pass on. You'all are keeping their memories a live.

[@larserickson2862]

Sublime performance and very appropriate after losing Mr. Lightfoot, a giant.

[@davidwilliams5682]

His voice sounds like Willy Nelson. Wow. What a performance. Love it

[@michaelogden5958]

Yeah, I can hear that in this song. 🙂 All of these guys are quite versatile!

[@acdii]

I was about to post the same thing! He would ROCk any Willy song for sure.

[@jackiebrand3352]

RIP Gordon... beautiful cover💓

[@paulhall170]

This does the wonderful Gordon great tribute..

[@steveb9667]

That was incredible.

[@sharonwilson7077]

"That Darwin" lol💓 and Johnny on drums !💓 Great tribute to Gordon Lightfoot

[@janellecanine2590]

And Tim!😊

[@donaldtucker2707]

Great tribute to Gordon. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@patrickh4540]

We lost a great one there. Bye Gordon, thank you for letting me join your musical journey. Great tribute F&F. Greetings from Belgium.

[@TR-xp1eb]

I have to say it: the foxes were the hook that got me watching y'all. But this is hands down my favorite song you've done--I love how the original video was posted with a disclaimer about there being no foxes : )

[@danoblue]

At the time, they didn't know how appropriate this song would be. Darwin sings with world-weariness and controlled emotion, and his guitar work is excellent. I wish I could play like him! Very tasteful performance by all, including the understated rhythm section.

[@cscam56]

Just friggen awesome!

[@jimfladwood4393]

Lightfoot’s a hard act too follow. So very amazingly wonderful Thank you for the post ☮️✌️❤️

[@bobconrad578]

Very well done!

[@ParkerPlaza]

Well done for a nice tribute.

[@janefriel6895]

I love this song.Singer cute too.☘

[@jacobbouser4190]

Both apropos and gorgeous. Thanks for the post.

[@tombrewton7823]

Gordon is smiling and singing harmony! Well done, folks!

[@lyndamcnally6263]

Beautiful rendition. I’m sure Gordon is smiling.

[@ewilson22683]

This might be better than your original release of this song … and that was a great one. Thanks, guys.

[@whitinst]

Great job on a heartfelt classic...and I love the Black Ice Rainsong..
