Growing up in Montreal in the 1970s, Gordon Lightfoot's songs were a staples on local radio. I was about 5 or 6 when this song came out. Had no idea what it was about but something about it touched me. As an adult it took on a whole new meaning. It is haunting and melancholy but beautiful at the same time. Rest in Peace Mr. Lightfoot :(

[@JoanneCooperSA]

[@heathercianflone5350]

I'm too young to know him, but I sure do love him and have for years. I was born in the wrong decade. Think I was 3 when this came out & I can remember belting it out with my mom in her maverick lol

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 wishin' 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 When you reach 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 act 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 wishin' 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'll know that I'm just tryin' to understand The feelings 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

[@waynemyers2469]

It's funny, reading these comments was how I found out that Mr. Lightfoot had passed away and as I sat listening to the song and thinking over how the song had always made me feel and also kind of mourning the loss of a great writer I had an epiphany: This was exactly how I've always felt when I listened to "If you could read my mind", just like this, a little moody, a little contemplative, maybe even a little depressed but...soothed too. Maybe that's what Gordon was going for, I don't know but his writing and my heart were walking side-by-side for a moment and it was a little miracle I hadn't expected. RIP, Gordon.

Just heard the sad news today RIP

There's so many songs that I've known for decades that I've never really felt the depth and gravity of until I started singing and playing them. (badly)

[@MichelleFrets]

thank you. after looking at a list of chords and muttering to myself about a G7 chord that I couldn't hear when listening to the tune, I feel a little vindicated. not to say it isn't in one of Lightfoot's performances, but it's a lovely song as presented here.

It's two years late, but fyi, there is concert video of GL playing this song with a capo on the second fret.

RIP Gordon Lightfoot

Can we talk about the string arrangement? And the second (third?) guitar parts?

You will be missed...

Does anyone here know the story of how this song was written? John got in a fight with Annie, he decided to go skiing and by the time he skied down the mountain he had written this song...
