As with friends, I find it hard to say that so & so is THE BEST. My dog is my best friend. I have a few buddies that would be contenders for THE BEST, however, I feel that if designated 1 in particular as the best, it would slight the rest. Mr Lightfoot is certainly a legend, an outstanding singer/songwriter & well deserves a place in music history. He is, without a doubt, in the high rankings range. That's only my opinion & point of view, not intended to stir up controversy.

Funny how music has changed so much over the years. I think it's a direct reflection of the society we live in that influences music so much. Things were way different back then. Born in 1966, I have seen a lot of changes and rarely can I say that any of it has been for the better. So sad for me really. But I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment. God bless you and yours.

I had the same intense experience with this song on a workman’s radio when I was 7 in 1970.. there was a funeral of a young boy in the Welsh chapel opposite our school, at playtime .. kids were watching silently, the tiny congregation overshadowed by giant stone angels… the world stopped right there. I tried to contain these intense feelings by fiddling with the bobbles on my jumper. I can only really appreciate the intense sad perfection of this song as an adult and like you, it suffused my very essence.

Me too. Going through his catalog now with Gord's Gold. So many great songs. He had it all, songwriting, performance and musicianship. I saw the documentary that had an interview with him in 2017(?) where he was asked if he was self-reflective of his life. And he said he had been in a state of making amends to people he had hurt, and that he was in a good place now. It's an inspiring idea as you age and become frailer, redemption and peace for the past is still possible if you seek it. Though with Lightfoot's massive talent and gifts to mankind through his music, if anyone gets a pass on questionble behavior in private life, it would be him, lol..

35 years ago I was moving from Montreal to California taking a three month car drive trip with my soon to be wife. I was a Lightfoot fan since a couple of years and had purchased tickets to one of his concerts in Vancouver well in advance. Upon arrival in Vancouver I called home in Argentina and learned that my grandfather had passed two days ago. I was so sad and shocked and my wife convinced me to go to the concert anyway, which we did. It was a deeply touching experience, I was in tears during many of his songs. Now I keep that memory in my heart. We`re still married and had 4 beautiful daughters.

At 68 I always get emotional while listening to any of Gordon's songs. Just listen to the words. So true So calming. A story so beautifully told and wonderfully sung. What a great great story teller and performer.

When I was young, I used to listen to WLS am radio station on a transistor radio when I went to bed. They played top 40 hits. One early morning, this song came on and awoke me from a deep sleep. Never understood why that happened. Anyway, I never tire of this beautiful song, no matter how or when Gord sings it.

Been listening to this one all my life. It’s one of a few perfectly constructed songs as far as lyrics, chord arrangement, key and vocals are concerned. This melancholy song of unrequited love is a classic that will be around for a very long time.

I heard this song when I was just 8 years old in my relative’s car and this song absolutely transformed me. For the very first time I didn’t just hear a song on the radio, I experienced it to my bones. I cried as I understood the so very deep and poetic metaphors describing a tragedy of a love ending and the emptiness and pain because of that happening. The vocal delivery of those lyrics danced perfectly with the purity and rawness of the guitar and it was overwhelming... this song made me understand what true songwriters are. They are crafters of art for your soul. I have shown my kids this song and they are mesmerized. This is true talent on a very high yet understated level. It is all that is right with music.

I recently had a weekly 360 mile round trip commute for work. Most of the time, I listened to his Pandora channel. Not just his music, but mostly his contemporaries, my favorite era But it did introduce me to a lot of his songs I hadn't heard. Early Morning Rain, and Canadian Railroad Trilogy, among others. All great.
