Glass Tiger - Song For A Winter's Night (Official Music Video)

[@janecarroll5728]

A briliant cover. Gordon would appreciate Glass Tiger's version which is perfect in every way. I loved it!

[@self-publishinghelp8596]

Glass Tiger and Gordon Lightfoot and Natalie MacMaster! What an unbeatable Canadian Classic mix! This is such a gorgeous cover! The original is still in a league of its own, but this cover creates a whole new league for this beauty to occupy all by itself, as well. I must say, Canadian music has always been my favourite music on the planet.

[@iamtheeggman0036]

The most beautiful love song ever written. As a young man I wished to find a girl who filled the longing this song brought me. Fifty years have now passed in a life of seventy years, I never found her and know I never will. Once, briefly, I was certain she was in my life but it didn’t last. Still I am thankful for her and our fleeting time together. I sincerely hope you find a person who the thoughts of brings you warmth on a deep and lonely winter’s night. If you are young please don’t settle for less, please keep your heart open and let love find them. They are searching for you as you are them.

Well said.

[@dermotlynch2223]

Keep the good memories warm. Sometimes that's all we have.

[@albertklassen6055]

This band has paid all their dues and then some. They deserve to sing this great song and they do it the best.

[@shaynelachance8828]

This cover of this masterpiece gives me goosebumps any time I hear it. Great to hear Gord after this rendition. Beautifully done by Alan Frew and Natalie MacMaster

[@paulahamilton4431]

With Gordon Lightfoot’s passing this week, I was looking for “Song for a Winter’s Night” because it’s one of my all-time favourite songs. I stumbled across video - what a fantastic cover!! I love Glass Tiger but had no idea they had recorded this. With Gordon Lightfoot’s passing this week, it’s a poignant reminder of the impact he had on music in Canada (and beyond!). Thanks to Glass Tiger for this amazing rendition of a Canadian classic. Love Alan Frew’s poem at the end - a perfect ending.

[@Imissthepostoffice]

I love Gorgon Lightfoot throughout my whole life. Ironically, I live among the Great Lakes. I was satisfied hearing Gordon died among family members. I know his daughters adore him, so I was not sad, but happy. You mentioned this as being one of your all time favorites. Me too. THIS and Urge For Going written by Joni Mitchell.

[@tipp55]

I can't imagine a better tribute to the great man himself. Stunning rendition of a great song.

[@albertklassen6055]

Are you kidding me? I mean - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I love this group and have loved them since their early days in Vancouver. That they have stuck together all these years and have evolved into this precious and spiritual uplifting supergroup makes me so very happy. Dam they do such a good job and the singer is at his peak. The camera work is superb and that violinist is exceptional. All in all perfection.

[@wandamundy1759]

"That violinist" is Natalie McMaster - who has been Canadian Champion many times - and has countless albums of her own out there - and has played behind some pretty remarkable people. She is not exactly unknown.

[@MrColbrot]

One for the ages. Underrated for sure. Merry Christmas!

[@jimbobogie8204]

Gordon likes this version...nuff said!😉

[@AlanPrice-b7n]

A marvelous cover of Lightfoot's song. And from an unexpected source at that.

[@ernestshipman411]

I have been a Gordon Lightfoot fan for over 40 years, all of my adult life. His songs are always so well crafted and sung, almost perfection; it's hard to image any way to improve one. Beautifully arranged, performed, filmed; loved the tempo, awesome vocals! This is the first time I have ever heard a cover of his that I think I liked better. What a gem. Leaves you wanting more...

[@tannerpetrie]

As a musician, I avoided learning/playing Gordon Lightfoot songs for the exact sentiment.

[@badgerbadgerton966]

Listen to the Sarah Mclachlan one.

[@sylviediva1]

wonderful Alan and Glass Tiger band

[@rickbullock4331]

Wow! a fantastic version of Gordon’s song. I haven’t heard Glass Tiger in years but Mr.Frew’s vocals are still amazing. The accompanying musicians were exceptional in my opinion.👍👍

[@JM-ke1xm]

Beautiful doesn’t do it Justice. Legendary

[@jonathanbamford]

Love the poem at the end Alan and band, what a way to finish! Greetings from the Green Isle 🍀 Northern Ireland

[@self-publishinghelp8596]

Man! Alan Frew's voice has aged like fine wine. This collab is the best since "Don't Forget Me" and Bryan Adams' unique voice cropping up randomly there.

[@sweetcaroline2060]

This is beautiful but I can't get past that it's my hero and heart's love, Gordon Lightfoot who should be singing it. But what a lovely tribute and I'm sure he would love it too. Requiescat en pace, Mr. Lightfoot. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Imissthepostoffice]

Gordon wouldn't mind.

[@alexkoeslag5699]

A great version of a great Canadian icon...one of my favorites

[@dutch4505]

Great cover.

[@Ch.03-PlaylistsTo-lo.73]

I shamelessly, but honestly admit: I didn't even know this was a cover, sorry. A bit embarrassing but this is how artists help artists in a weird twist of fate, no? I've heard Gordon Lightfoot but obviously I've forgotten or just have missed out - so here I go now, to GL to see/hear as I now wonder what else I may have missed, so thank you for what might have been an obvious comment, but an educational one for me. I hope this finds you safe, well and having a Happy & Merry Christmas. 🎄 🍪🥛(🐅) Fan, Leota

[@bulosqoqish1970]

The greatest folk song ever written. You folks do it very well. Thank you so much.

[@bonniespruin6369]

Love, love, love. 💖

[@AWalkingHat]

Instantly added to my Christmas music playlist. Natalie MacMaster's fiddling style is unmistakable.

[@davidnobes6180]

The credits at the end say Vanessa Hellinga, not Natalie.

[@GlassTigerOfficial]

@@davidnobes6180 Natalie is indeed playing the fiddle on the recording. Vanessa is taking Natalie's part for the video. Both wonderful and talented people. Thanks.

[@noelg85]

Wonderful

[@randalball9067]

I randomly decided to look up watching worlds crumble today, only to discover glass tiger is still killing it. Had no idea lol

[@gilliandelledonne4713]

Magnificent. No one has every done a Gordon Lightfoot cover this well! Kudos to you.

[@altareggo]

i beg to differ. This IS truly wonderful, but i would put Sarah Mclachlan's version of this song on an equal footing. The two are very different takes on one of Gordy's best songs, but personally i prefer Sarah's: it's more tender and reflective, and i ADORE the evocative vocal harmonies!!

[@wandamundy1759]

Alison Krauss did a pretty amazing version of "Shadows" - featuring Tony Rice and Sam Bush - with Union Station . . .

[@MrColbrot]

There have been great covers... this is tops though

[@BabaDontKnow]

The Headstones do a great cover of Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

[@krunkmountainman6633]

Beautiful song . Beautiful message.

[@markperkins9437]

Outstanding cover of this wonderful song.

[@happytimeswithdave8670]

Very nice

[@GalileoScientist]

Nice work. Canada’s unofficial National Anthem.

[@kfm908]

Beautiful job!

[@susanmacdonald4288]

What a marvelous version! And adding Natalie in the mix made it even better. Well done!

[@barbwarner9528]

Perfect.... right down to being recorded at Casa Loma. How much more Canadian can you get? This has forever been one of my favourite Lightfoot ballads. The violinist completely sweetened an already untouchable composition. Thank you everyone!!

[@calvinvanderveen422]

Yes, Merry Christmas!

[@albertklassen6055]

One of the greatest bands Canada ever produced. Simply magnificent. I love these guys. A national treasure!

Beautiful!

[@TheWynch]

I absolutely love this musical interpretation of this Gordon Lightfoot song, beautiful and goosebumpy. This song has always been our anniversary song

[@Some_One_One]

I would be so embarrassed to have the name Gordon Lightfoot. I mean Gordon is obviously a black man's name, as in Gordon on Sesame Street. And then Lightfoot sounds so gay and feathery. Lol.

[@TheWynch]

@@Some_One_One , Betcha you wouldn't be ashamed of having his money and notoriety that goes with that name though :) The man is an Icon in the music industry. Not that it matters, but he is very white.

[@tonimactavish9937]

Oh my heart .

[@alanprice4669]

A surprising take on one of Gordon's best songs. Well done.

[@hectorlabbe]

Wow!!!! Beautiful, gorgeous what else can I say? Amazing voice Alan! Thank you guys for sharing love and joy into our hearts ♥️

[@Hunter-G1]

Excellent! The only thing missing ... I wish they would have put the Christmas bells in at the end of each verse, like Gordon did

[@rebeccalind8715]

Late to the party but love love love❤❤ Alan and the band sound fantastic and a Gordon Lightfoot song is therapy for the soul… put them together and you have magic

[@paskatefan]

Terrific cover, beautiful instrumentation. Gordon must be very proud of this!

[@grantmatthews8309]

Big Gord fan, started listening and pretty much exclaimed " Oh!!" immediately, very nice. Love Glass Tiger doing this as I grew up with them.

[@ARFG1967]

I would never have approved anyone doing Gordon Lightfoot's music, but damn, you guys did a GREAT job! Well done!

[@barrygioportmorien1]

You should listen to George Hamilton IV"s album of Gordon's songs.

[@karenkreeger3862]

Well then you are missing a lot of great music. So many good covers out there. Just because some one else sings it, doesn't make it any less of a Gordon song.

[@Tutone66]

Great songwriters want others to sing their songs. I can't imagine not have this song covered by Sarah McLachlan.

[@rdalin]

Tony Rice recorded 16 or 17 of Lightfoot's songs, including this one. They're all on a CD.

[@Some_One_One]

I would be so embarrassed to have the name Gordon Lightfoot. I mean Gordon is obviously a black man's name, as in Gordon on Sesame Street. And then Lightfoot sounds so gay and feathery. Lol.

Takes me back to a time long past. I was hurt badly, but as they say "Time cures all wounds". Have moved on and learned to not look back.

[@lisablinn3264]

What a beautiful version of this iconic song. Your poem at the end is so meaningful and my hope is that people take it to heart and be kind to one another; always not only during the Christmas holidays.

[@gibsalisbury]

I’ve seen Gord many times over my years at Massey and have heard him sing it. He sings this beautiful song with such passion. This version was so well sung and Natalie just knocked it out of the park.Absolutely amazing. I’m going to ask my daughter to read the poem when my day comes and am put to my final resting place.

[@23chicomaple]

Wow! Awesome Awesome Awesome!

[@seanmoloney7797]

This is just perfect. Listening to this looking out at a snowstorm with Christmas lights is just magic.

I have been pigging out on videos of this song for more than 24 hours. Truth. You folks got it right thank you so much.

Incredible cover. The right emotions were captured in the performance and cinematography

[@zainebhajnasr3645]

found this in other cover's comments . The lamp is burnin' low upon my table top The snow is softly fallin' The air is still in the silence of my room I hear your voice softly callin' If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you The smoke is rising in the shadows overhead My glass is almost empty I read again between the lines upon each page The words of love you sent me If I could know within my heart That you were lonely too I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you The fire is dying now, my lamp is growing dim The shades of night are liftin' The mornin' light steals across my windowpane Where webs of snow are driftin' If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love On this winter's night with you And to be once again with with you Songwriters: Gordon Lightfoot
