Gordon Lightfoot - Why Not Give It A Try - Official Lyric Video

[@williamhouston3428]

The last song on the very last Gordon Lightfoot album. Thank you for each one of them, Gordie. Rest in peace eternally, and may your music be played by all the generations.

[@tinkaluisa8540]

Well, almost the last album. "Live at Massey Hall" will come out in July.

[@tinkaluisa8540]

Actually, I goofed: It's "Live at the Royal Albert Hall." Sorry about that.

[@rmtl3140]

Had the pleasure of meeting him 10 years ago and he graciously signed my guitar. He is a humble man and it was a night I will remember fondly.

[@mtrld]

RIP Gordon, thanks for being there in your music during these trying times in my life.

[@TYLERBALLADS]

Always a sentimental melancholy song….so sweet simple and beautiful…poetry!

[@ginolundy2886]

Still so much spirit and soul. The man is simply a master at conveying emotion. He is certainly one of the best songwriters the world has known. Thank you Gordon.

[@Bob-vc5yi]

I've listened to Gordon for 40 yrs and carried his music with me in 25 countries. Would love to sit with him for an hour and just talk. There's a dream 😉

[@derikuk2967]

50 years, and dozens of places... But now the dream will remain a dream. We still have his music to comfort us.

[@suhwateezea.214]

It's been a deep journey watching Gordon age over time like we all do

[@Dan_Frechette_Songwriter]

This whole album put a smile on my face, line by line.. your voice and guitar will echo through the ages

[@rickschucker9697]

God I love him ! Thank you Gord for being when I needed you most for over 50 years ! You made my life better, thanks.

Much respect to Canada's greatest!!! I'm stone cold sober when I say that! That's no illusion on this summer side of life. No mistake about it. Thank you very much for so many original songs you created.

[@nexussmile8525]

Man every time I listen to this song I understand it differently it tells me another story each time, man this song is an masterpiece of art

[@kevinbrown688]

You can't deny that signature guitar playing and brilliant songwriting. Much respect, sir.

[@smeefamily54]

I have followed him since the beginning. My children grew up listening to him. A true Canadian.

[@gemmacrawford5260]

Wow! How does he do it, he gets all your emotions stirring getting you thinking about things you haven't thought in years.

[@alsmit4153]

Fragiele but all so beautiful. 'You can do everything you want but I just wanna be me.' That's the Gordon I understand. Hè just want to do what he always has don e. Thank you for this beautiful video!

[@brigittehuber9745]

I love this song so much... THANK YOU!

[@brielmavjaager7270]

Still my heart throb for 45 years. Prayers for many Blessings upon you and with appreciation for all your heartfelt, meaningful songs.

[@michellegare2894]

Wow! Just listened to this song for the first time! A simple song, simple lyrics, but lots to think about! Mr Lightfoot is still writing great songs after everything he's been through. By the way, the graphics and "montage" of that video are fantastic!

[@alsmit4153]

You're absolutely right, a fantastic video.

[@MrRedwing90]

A beautiful songwriter and singer. One of my idols.

[@honshitsu]

Brings tear of joy & bliss, what a music. Love him!

[@FruitFanatic33]

Gordon you are a beautiful soul… I’ve loved you since I was about 4 years old. Your songs have been speaking to me since 1969. You are the sun… I would like to stay home with you for eternity. 🔆🌎

[@captaintrips2980]

I share your admiration. Mr. Lightfoot would probably be the first to admit his soul hasn't always been so beautiful. But we live and learn.

[@FruitFanatic33]

Google User no. 14 Ahh, but Alas, The human game is not easy at times… I still see him as the Sun 🔆

[@Cat-hn2on]

I've also loved his music since the first time I heard it, probably around the same year. I was in 1st grade in 1969 but fortunately I had 4 older brothers and a sister, as well as parents who loved to listen to 🎶. As I grew, so did my appreciation for the greatest singers and songwriters of that era, of which Gordon Lightfoot has got to be way up toward the top as far as talent, innovation, genuineness, dedication and remaining true. (In my humble opinion). 🎼🎵🎤💙🗺🌄🎶🐱

[@FruitFanatic33]

Cat We are soul sisters! I was born in 1966. It was a beautiful time in history as far as music, especially for the young ones to absorb! 💛

[@Legnerps]

Noooo....he's been speaking to meeeee!! 🤣

[@CruisinDude]

Thank you Gordon, brilliant

[@ColleenW2019]

STILL the love of my life for almost 50 years! Gordon's music has seen me through many rough patches in my life. God bless you, Gordon Lightfoot!

[@aumswede]

Heavenly! lots of love from Sweden for being the soundtrack of my life.

[@scotthays294]

[@huyked]

Thank you, Mr. Lightfoot. That was such an encouraging song about life.

[@geoffhorvath3261]

Gord' you could have hired Axl Rose for the whistling solo. I don't think he's too busy, but Hey,, waking up this morning to see this new release made my coffee taste better. God bless you Gordon Lightfoot. I love your work and you as a man. Please keep the music coming.

[@Legnerps]

Somewhat mysterious lyrics ... but the simplicity and lightness of his guitar is mesmerizingly beautiful. Too bad he lost his whistler...no one whistled better. See Ghosts of Cape Horn. You have enriched my life ... our lives bud. When you ascend to the Carefree Highway ... we will all wail like babies.

[@Thecaptain1898]

I think his "weak" whistling is pretty fitting. I see, or hear it as someone singing one final song in the night at the end of a show. Maybe at a bar or some club. Everyone is gone but one last audience member. Some dark figure in the corner. Imagine being that figure in the corner, listening to this man sing his last song for the night.. It would feel so magical. That's my take on it anyways!

[@Legnerps]

[@mysteryseaker1914]

Minimalistic, personal and obscure song comparing many years of listening to Gordy. Doubt that he released this piece in it's lowbrow form to be some kind of hit of course....That straining voice, and clever verse still paint the same kind of emotional picture/message/feeling I remember in 1969. Also, Mr. Lightfoot is such an artist I cannot believe the frail whistling was left in on accident. Maybe he's trying to tell us something?
