LOVE HIS VIBE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Gordon Lightfoot - CareFree Highway REACTION

[@Carl-o5d]

Every song from Gordon Lightfoot reflect one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Such a great country with great people!, nothing but love to Canada !!

[@joycenorthwind6874]

Black Day in July is a song that talks about a bad time in the USA that was banned in many States when it came out. It spoke truth and scared some that it might open the wound again. He wanted awareness brought to that day.

[@northlander4370]

R I P Gord !! , Canada is much sadder and poorer today, we lost our poet and story teller . rest easy Gordon , we still have memories and music!

[@mikeljones4673]

I find his voice melancholy and haunting. (Especially on If You Could Read My Mind.). Gordon Lightfoot is one of the last genuine troubadours. Great talent.

[@williamh4172]

And also in the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

He has so many amazing songs: Early Morning Rain, Beautiful, Sundown, Black Day in July, For Lovin' Me, Softly, Don Quixote, etc, etc, etc. Not only was he an astounding songwriter, he was also incredibly prolific. Just a great artist.

[@Governor1993]

Yes you nailed it…..haunting and melancholy! Amazing

[@deweyoxburger5470]

So many great singer/songwriters from the 70's. Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Carole King, Cat Stevens, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Jackson Brown, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, John Denver, Van Morrison......

He's got a masculine voice. He reminds me of the classic Bard telling stories about his life and times.

Me again! I’ve got a whole list of songs from The Grassroots, Live For Today, Midnight Confessions, Where Were You When I Needed You, Temptation Eyes, please try one of these songs, they’re all good 👍🏻

[@thefoss5387]

If you like Lightfoot's lyrical histories, I would recommend his Canadian Railroad Trilogy...a folk song history of the westward expansion of the Canadian Western Railroad, that was commissioned by the Canadian Broadcast Company for Canada's 1967 Centennial. It is moving, sad, triumphant, all the things that an expanding 19th Century nation would experience. It is often his encore song at concerts, and was honored as one of the Canadian MasterWorks by the Audio-Visual Preservation Trust of Canada. I recommend the 1975, fully orchestrated version, that was released on his compilation album, Gord's Gold.

[@glenonoko4918]

I second this recommendation, Canadian Railroad Trilogy is a song unlike anything else, an epic story of history.

[@donnakubiski5572]

I third it. Awesome song!

[@dawnsparks1464]

Lol! I was listening to this recently and my first thought was how much Jay and Amber would enjoy it!

[@ammonitelight]

I love that song so much! It makes me feel nostalgic, even though I'm not Canadian.

[@loadedorygun]

This sounds as if it were as important if not more so, as woody Guthrie’s songs commissioned by the us government about the new hydroelectric plants on the Columbia river. In awe of the achievements but cognizant of the costs.

[@cheryla7480]

For a lovely romantic song for Amber, try his “Beautiful”. For something completely different. A song that American radio stations were discouraged from playing at the time is “Black Day in July”. It’ about the 1967 Detroit riots that reflect the times, and show that not a lot has changed today. If you Googled an alphabetical list of Gordon Lightfoot songs it goes on forever and not a bad one in the bunch. That’s why he truly is a legend!

[@1996vivian]

Yes! Great suggestions!!!!

[@technomikelyons]

Yes, "Beautiful" is... well, beautiful. I used to work all night alone at a radio station in the Vancouver area, and when I would get a Lightfoot song on my playlist, there was a sort of warmth throughout the station's hallways, and I would feel a sense of my "Canadian-ness".

[@donparker8246]

This is an incredible love song. I played and sang it for my wife at our wedding.

[@magneto7930]

Anytime is a good time to listen to Gordon Lightfoot! Rainy Day People should be your next song by him.

[@Cheryltwin2012]

"Carefree Highway" is my favorite song by Gordon Lightfoot. It's a song about regret and not being able to go back and do things differently. I was 13 when this song came out and I didn't really get it. Boy, do I get it now. Thank you for your appreciation of Lightfoot's music. Some people have called him the Canadian Bob Dylan because his songs are so personal.

[@tommcdonough6086]

Gordans songs are deep and full of character, Sundown is my personal favorite, Carefree highway close second. Timeless. 55 now where does the time go 😮. Peace.....

[@crazydale1000]

Yall need to listen to BEAUTIFUL by Gordon Lightfoot. A beautiful song.

[@Mikex973]

The whole Sundown album is a masterpiece no weak songs on that album.

[@scott29103]

Growing up in 70s Canada, Gordon was front and center. He made so many great songs. When wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald came out, it was played in my High School English class as part of the lesson! One of my favorite in Don Quixote. Another upbeat one is Summer Time Dream. If you want to try more Canada, and like lyrics I suggest Barenaked Ladies "If I had a Million Dollars"

[@kens32052]

There isn't a bad song on his "Gords Gold" double album.

[@Shrykespeare]

This is a special song for me because I live in Phoenix, in the north part of which you'll find the Carefree Highway (a section of I-74). (Yes, there is a city in Phoenix called Carefree.) I pass by the exit to it every time I leave town heading north. I hope you keep going down the Gordon rabbit hole - you can do "Beautiful", "You Are What I Am", "Rainy Day People", or "Dream Street Rose". While I'm at it, can you do more Jim Croce? "Time in a Bottle" or "I Got a Name" has the same smooth vibe as "Carefree Highway", or you can go more in line with "Bad Bad Leroy Brown" and do "You Don't Mess Around With Jim".

[@Shrykespeare]

@@terryburtner9682 They're about an hour apart. Surprise is northwest of Phoenix, while Carefree is northeast and further away from the metro Phoenix area.

Agreed! I live in Surprise and every time we're heading north to Sedona, Cottonwood, Jerome etc I always sing this song when we pass the Carefree Highway. Probably drives my wife nuts. lol.

[@markhernandez6111]

from the same time period, try Cat Steven's, Oh Very Young. It was a staple on juke boxes in the mid seventies. ( knowledge from a misspent youth. ) Keep reacting guys.

[@johnthorne4093]

I saw a KZbin video wherein Americans were asked to provide their one-word description of Canada. It was interesting to watch, and certainly mostly complimentary, then I thought about my own reaction: my one-word description is "Friend". Anyway, 54 years ago my AM Top-40 radio stations in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) began playing an acoustic-guitar-with-strings song, (it was "If You Could Read My Mind"), sung by a baritone with such expression and emotion; lyrics about a failed marriage/relationship, using references to drug-store novels and movie scripts, where there were no showy, childish, hurt-feeling accusations, only honest regret, and there was no happy ending. Just a man, sorry for the mistakes he had made, and coming to the conclusion that he wasn't going to ask for his wife/girlfriend to come back, because he just didn't feel it anymore. He felt terrible for her, and he felt terrible for himself. Even though I was just a junior-high-school kid who knew nothing about anything, I was stunned. That song helped me discover that there are happy stories and sad stories, we can't dictate or wish how they end: they play out their own way.

[@timwhitnell7145]

More Gordon Lightfoot classics - Sundown, The Circle is Small, If You Could Read My Mind, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, Early Morning Rain and Rainy Day People. He combines very personal storytelling with beautiful acoustic guitar playing and elements of pop/folk/country. A clear, strong voice. a Canadian treasure who we almost lost several years ago but he's still going and playing.

This is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song. I drove and rode the Carefree Highway (Arizona State Route 74) many times when I was living with my family on Luke AFB in Glendale, Arizona. It was such a beautiful, scenic drive. Gordon uses it metaphorically for this great song, and it's so cool that I have actually ridden the actual highway he sung about in this tune. Now that Gordon has passed, 5/1/23, the music world will never be the same. We've lost a true treasure. A storyteller and troubadour of immense talent. A wonderful musician, songwriter, and most importantly, a compassionate, kind, and caring human being. Being a guitarist myself, I appreciate the incredible talent he truly had. RIP, Gordon. It is no cliche you will be missed. Because, you, sir-will most assuredly be missed.
