I never appreciated the orchestration until Rick Beato opened my ears to it. Beautiful melody with or without the vocals.

[@jimkennelly4334]

RIP Gordon God Bless You and the beautiful music you gave to us ❤

[@auruminsanity1600]

I sang this song yesterday (with correct lyrics,of course)and wow! big applauses.It's a very beautiful song I heard when I was a teen.

[@mrbill9591]

RIP Gord, your music will live on forever! 😢

[@jackhammer111]

Heroes often FAIL... not fake... I'd walk away... not I'll walk away.. but the story always ends not and the story's alway ends.... I've been playing the song for 40 years but you can look the lyrics up in 30 seconds. That's how lazy the world has become. easier than ever in human history to get things right and ... this... "I don't know where we went wrong but the feeling gone and I just can't get it back". Anyone who hasn't felt that agony, will. I think its one of the greatest love gone wrong songs ever written.

[@journeysqueensdigest]

Quite correct! I too have listened to this song since some 40 years ago. I do believe it was done by BJ Thomas.

[@bojojojo913]

*feeling's 👍

[@UseByDate-Expired]

also, "the feelings that you lack" not left

I've always been a fan of Gordon Lightfoot, & after watching Rick Beato's episode of Gordon Lightfoot, I'm even bigger fan of his music.. if that's possible.. THANK YOU Rick Beato !!! Love your episodes.. please keep going..you make listening to music MORE enjoyable !!!

[@t.gongelbong34]

Great idea answering Rick Beato on another channel. You're so smart!

"The hero would be me, But heros often fail"!

Please it the Chinese version 😝

love gordon lightfoot, glad he is still around

[@oneofmany1087]

Gordon will always be in my Heart and Soul, Thank you so very Kindly

[@jojoregalado5355]

Beautiful, beautiful song. This is from the 70's but I only heard during the 90's.

[@ellenmurphy2150]

Fake heroes are a dime a dozen.Heroes that try but fail that is something altogether different. It's heroes often fail and the feelings that you(we) lack not left.Park? I've loved this song since I was 10 years old.All of that being said thank you for posting this.

[@romandamaso6308]

Lyrics: If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong, With chains upon my feet. You know that ghost is me. And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. If I could read your mind, love, What a tale your thoughts could tell. Just like a paperback novel, The kind the drugstores sell. Then you reached the part where the heartaches come, The hero would be me. But heroes often fail, And you won't read that book again Because the ending's just too hard to take! I'd walk away like a movie star Who gets burned in a three way script. Enter number two: A movie queen to play the scene Of bringing all the good things out in me. But for now, love, let's be real; I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it. I don't know where we went wrong, But the feeling's gone And I just can't get it back. If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, 'Bout a ghost from a wishing well. In a castle dark or a fortress strong. With chains upon my feet. But stories always end, And if you read between the lines, You'd know that I'm just tryin' to understand The feelin's that you lack. I never thought I could feel this way And I've got to say that I just don't get it. I don't know where we went wrong, But the feelin's gone And I just can't get it back!

[@felixmidas2020]

When you reach the "part "not "park" and heroes often "fail" and not "fake"!

[@racooper2901]

all set in a broken heart------ very good

[@TheStockwell]

Lyrics courtesy of Borat. 😬 On the plus side, this version speeds through the song so fast, shaving a half minute off, that it's a good way to practice breath control! ☺

[@acebernado9466]

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.❤

[@JoseMorales-hy1tc]

I can sing it beautifully. My voice can go from 2 octaves below C to 2 octaves above C and that give me the luxury to start low to and octave above C in quick swing motion which right the style of this song. I love it and the people too.

[@t.gongelbong34]

You're the greatest. No doubt.

[@davidforbes4392]

All karaoke video producers: Research the lyrics first, then make the video. Nowadays there's just no excuse for getting the lyrics wrong. Look them up on the Internet and print out a copy before typing them into your video. Please.

[@daveahem7038]

The feelings that you lack........I think someone entered number two all over these lyrics

[@GrantSchinto]

They probably doan speak Engrish as a first language.

[@GrantSchinto]

Oh, and I saw you you did there. Nice.

[@John-mh1wz]

I've been trying for a very long time, but I still haven't found the park where the heartache ends.

[@MaryMRevis-ms4mj]

A handful of lyrical mistakes but nicely done musically. I was signing along but sang the CORRECT lyrics.

[@leonardodalongisland]

I thought it was me!!!

[@charleslogwood9009]

Yep...same here

[@billkeon880]

excellent instrumental

[@michelleobrien8036]

I remember this from my first break up in 1972. This is one that I sing at Friday Night sober karaoke.

CORRECTIONS IN VERSE 2: '.... Just like a paperback novel, the kind the drugstores sell - When you reach the PART where the heartaches come, the hero would be me, but heroes often FAIL ...." ...(Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot)

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

made and assembled in the Philippines!!!

[@OnlineMD]

Nice. Agreed, the creator of this karaoke needed to get the lyrics right but hey, we can manage just fine!

[@benwilson4546]

Thank you Trigger Happy Tv 😉

[@TonyMcGreal]

Great track.

[@davidrodriguez3348]

I want the whole version of the song and I want there to be a greater emphasis on the guitar playing and more emotional play

[@ritaanngirdler9726]

10:57 yes!!!

[@ksschall]

A country boy can survive

[@angelmariedaviau5898]

i sing this song i love it and its a good song

[@canuckleful]

Never trust a hero: they often fake.

[@scottmurdock2700]

Sometimes even when the hero fails hes a hero just by giving it all for the one that he loves

[@OnlineMD]

Nice...thx much!

[@maryrevis3367]

Some grammar/lyric mistakes but love the music!!!

[@mariekaplan5831]

Very beautiful and passionate song to sing. The key is too high for me.

[@billkeon880]

great instrumentation though....good work

[@daveroberts7373]

Hi Bill. The track is a copy of the original with the original vox equalized out. That is why the strings are only half there and the 12 string guitar parts are almost not audible. But it is the original track . That is why the instrumentation, as you say, of the track is so good. This was recorded with a live orchestra in the studio!! You cannot repeat the string sounds and live bow effects digitally. Not yet anyway:) regards . Dave Ashby

[@lisafisher7132]

When people come on to comment that words are wrong and don't see ALL the comments about the words being wrong.... haha

[@robertjorgensen1807]

left me out of breat trying to sing it, only gordon can do it right

[@bmbelko]

I just wish the lyrics were correct. They are easy to pick out, and make sense of.

[@2sheds904]

That darned park...don't go there!

[@bojojojo913]

I know it's a long time since you commented...but I failed to heed your advice. I went to said park and FYI yes, the heartaches came, but it turns out that the hero was actually me. Yay.

[@bojojojo913]

Ps. I didn't fake, rather I failed.... 😩

[@lisafisher7132]

hahaha!!

[@haroldnelson3734]

That leaves just one thing to be said: "Boutrous Boutrous GOLLY! You are my hero, too!!"

[@rickdean4420]

It is not a park it should be the PART(which means the part of the paperback novel.

[@billkeon880]

when you reach the part...not park. It's the 'part' of the story he's singing about. I think it's also a 'three way scrape'. That's the common saying.

[@pjtarheel]

Bill Keon There are a lot of mistakes but “three way script” is actually correct

[@sergeiparajanov]

Here are the CORRECT words, from Lightfoot's own website -- I guess YT won't let me print them.

[@br3882]

kara, don't quit your day job to do this for a living. ;-)

[@Marlondurran]

The lyrics am sure can be sorted out am sure.. great upload all the same!?

[@jorgepsousa911]

We need "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" in karaoke form!

[@daveahem7038]

That would be true irony to see how bad they WRECK those lyrics

[@bishopaz]

A lot of the words are wrong.

[@4GUESTS]

+R Paz most of these are made in the Philippines or by Filipinos ...English is their secondary language. They grew up thinking these are the words ...for them, they're correct.

[@bishopaz]

+Mark Allen Channel Thank you for the info.I did not know this.

[@hyperwebbing]

TOOO many wrong words that it changes the meaning behind the music. Come on KARAFUN, it is easy to get this one right.

[@robertantonucci7112]

Yeah but if you know the correct ones it doesn't matter.

[@davidrodriguez3348]

I would love to learn more about Gordon Lightfoot if anybody has any information on it please respond to my comment thank you very much and God bless

[@daveroberts7373]

Hi David. Gordon is a Canadian Singer songwriter. His songs have been covered by many international artists. You should just check out iTunes . His best work apart from read my mind are , in my opinion, Sundown , wonderful song:), carefree highway, wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald. He was really a local folk musician who broke into the international music scene without any desire on his part . His music publisher and record company believed in him. That’s how it was in the old days:) hope this helps a bit. Take care. Dave Ashby

[@sstavsky]

There is a new documentary on Lightfoot, "If You Could Read My Mind," which you can stream (for a fee) off the Film Forum website. (This is available just temporarily.)

[@john9944]

You don't need to hear ir again but there are plenty The worst flipping of words is in the line "Heroes often....you say FLIP (That would be Benedict Arnold) the word is really "FAIL." Heroes have often been on the losing sides but in the end they remain heroic in their actions.

[@warcat69]

If you could read my mind love, you'd insert the correct words when I sing this wrong.

[@johns1280]

Lyrics are not correct.

[@markdarnell614]

CORRECT the Lyrics! "When you reach the PART, where the Heartache comes - the hero would be me...but heroes often FAIL!"

[@daveroberts7373]

Hi. A lot of people have already correctly informed you guys regarding the lyrics. And correctly also. Further more , your timing with regards to when one should sing is almost a beat to early . This is not a problem with the verses , but the bridge? And please do not insult the intelligence of people who may check out your backing tracks . From what I have heard so far , including this number, all the songs are original songs with the vox eq’d out . This also explains the loss of string and guitar tracks. It’s always best to be honest. What do you guys think ? Regards D.R.

[@xShadowWolf44x]

Let me drop a help bomb on y'all. Go to Bing search, (I find that a bit easier than HillarysGoogle), Type in: "The words to--- Blah, Blah", without the quotes of course, or the dashes, or comma's or.....you get the picture. And, now that you've got the picture, take a Picture, using your "screenshot", save it in your own, special, "I can't remember the damn words" folder. Wa' La', words to the song. Then you can go find yourselves the best possible version of the song you want to sing so you can totally and completely annoy your neighbors, friends, family, and... soon to be ex. Enjoy!

[@davidgriffiths5656]

At least get the lyrics correct. Also having the timing (exact beats) would be an improvement also. These issues spoil a beautiful song.

[@carolechadwick4215]

You have some of the words wrong.

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Great song, bad translation in this karaoke version!!!!!! Why go through all of the trouble to make a karaoke video of a classic song if your going to include a ton of mistakes and incorrect lyrics? You should have gone to Gordon's website to get the official lyrics.

[@Kodeekat]

Felt like the key was slightly different than the GL original.

[@papagvitalia524]

the person that put this song up, is NOT after a prize for most accurate karaoke lyrics, they did it to have fun. the grammar on some of the hateful corrections leave something to hate on, but leave the post alone, and find another song to post hateful words on

[@daveahem7038]

Nope, we've picked this one to hate on. You sure are bossy for someone with poor grammar.

[@sonericdp2]

Yes, I like it but perhaps you have to correct the lyrics :)

[@JamesMartin-mi8id]

Nina I didn’t post to Facebook anything about you sweetheart love you bye good night

[@billnorton7062]

It's "a ghost that you CAN'T see" not CAN see. Big difference.

[@kje3429]

Lyrics are wrong in second verse

[@andysimpson476]

Below is me singing this song...hope its ok?

[@iconaclastor]

good sound track but three words were mispelled

[@kevinbergin2225]

So funny, park yourself in a fake park and there is bound to be trouble.

[@Appleholic1]

Much of the lyrics are incorrect. It is not "park" it is "part" and it is not "fake" it is "fail" and a few other missing and added words.

[@aliassmithandjones9453]

it's 'Part' not 'Park'

[@richardhotaling6992]

Holy crap ...you wanna do this get the lyrics right!

[@robertramos36]

yea i didnt even know the words and i noticed that wasnt right lol

[@jasoncarpp7742]

Call me naive, but I didn't see any lyrics that were wrong.

[@lisafisher7132]

hahahahahahahaha

[@nathanielfernandez3146]

Crappy karaoke version. Please use the correct lyrics. It is not hard to google the correct lyrics. Many of the words you use for this song don't even make sense in the context of the song.

[@alex2958chaos]

When you reach the park?, You mean the part...

[@DocHollidayGames]

Why are there so many lyric errors here?!

[@corvairjim1]

It seems like the tempo is too fast.

[@ElegyForTheMasses]

Wow, the words are so incorrect here. Did they just randomly guess the words?

[@rantzgarcia580]

😊😅😮😢😂

Oops! There's some inaccurate lyrics on here. Nice try though :)

I believe this company finally changed their name to KaraBoutNuthinButTakinTeenMoney They obviously don't care about lyrics ... THE primary part of karaoke! ... and in their app, they don't care about anyone finding a song that isn't the newest steaming pile of tween garbage.

Get the lyrics right.sheesh

[@robertcartier5088]

Lyrics are wrong...

[@goat_herder88]

Holy lyric mistakes batman!

[@DocHollidayGames]

People have been explaining to you for the past 8 years that the lyrics are completely wrong, and you have still not corrected them or at least acknowledged your mistake? Ridiculous, and an insult to the original artist of this song.

[@GROOVY846]

too fast..

[@pacerdawn5512]

Yeah, some of the words are way wrong. "When you reach the park"? It's "part", as in reaching the part of a book. People don't reach a "park" in a book. Well, unless the book is about a park I guess. "the heroes often fake"? No, it should be "heroes often fail". There are numerous other inaccuracies as well. My guess this is just a basic speech-to-text translation that was never proof-read. This is literally your business and you can't be bothered to get it right? This is a fantastic song and you butcher it. Absolute terrible.

[@gfob1]

Fix this lyrics!!!

[@t.gongelbong34]

Hardly ever seen worse lyrics to a karaoke song. Do your homework, dammit!
