- I could not find this song on youtube and I feel that everyone should be able to hear it before it is forgotten completely.
Here are the lyrics:
Spin, Spin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(D) (G/D) (A) (D)
So fine, so fine the (G/D) web you (D) spin (G/D) (A) (D)
I come too close and I'm (A) caught a(D)gain (G/D) (A) (D)
In the web of (G/D) wild de(D)sign (G/D) (A) (D)
I do not know what (A) fate is (D) mine
(G/D) All the day (D) sit and spin
Spin your web and you (A) draw me (D) in
Spin, (G/D) spin, (A) spin, (D) spin
And my daddy said when I was young
Beware the web of love my son
To be in love is to be insane
Make an old man groan, a young man pain
All the day sit and spin
Spin your web and you draw me in
Spin, spin, spin, spin
Then I did grow and the time did fly
Many a true love passed me by
And then you came like a blinding storm
A landed in your web so warm
All the day sit and spin
Spin your web and you draw me in
Spin, spin, spin, spin
So fine, so fine the web you spin
I come too close and I'm caught again
In the web of wild desire
And I cannot control the fire
All the day sit and spin
Spin your web and you draw me in
Spin, spin, spin, spin

Gordon Lightfoot - Spin Spin
Still love that song! Still love that man! I was 15 when I first heard of Gordon Lightfoot, now I'm 71 and still love his music!
Been listening to this genious for over 61 years.
I have this 45! For those too young that's a vinyl record. This was never put on an album and still wonder why it wasn't. Great tune and the first Gordon Lightfoot 45 I ever owned. For Lovin' Me is on the flip side. His other hit 45 not placed on an album was Go-Go Round. I think Spin Spin preceeded Go Go Round. His star was quickly rising from the Canadian horizon! The hundreds of songs he wrote after that are sheer genius!
+Mike Hust I will check with my friend in Australia; but I think she bought an lp on Amazon in 2012 after finding it here on my channel. I'll get back to you once she responds to my email. Eric
+Mike Hust Hi Mike... She responded and this is her message ...
Hi Eric,
I didn't find the album but I did find this
information
Hugs and blessings to you both and stay warm. You wouldn't
like it here....way to hot
It is in the high 30s

+Mike Hust Yup, still have my 45, too! Gord paid his dues ...
Go Go Round was on his The Way I feel LP-3rd album and early great hit albums. Can be found on The United Artists Collection ( CD ) which has his first 4 albums on it. Great collection. Spin Spin is on his Sunday Concert Plus CD.
Thanks SO much for this! I knew a fellow who sang it, but never could find it. BTW Go-go Round is on The Way I Feel. Listened to it a million times!
Thank you so much for posting this!
You're welcome, it's one of his very best and now rare to find. Find me on Facebook as Eric A. Jollymore
Spent seven weeks on the CFUN 1410 AM Radio Top 50, peaking at #25 in November 1966, in Vancouver, Canada
A Canadian! Hello denmanfit
I heard this song for the first time a half-hour ago on 580 AM CKWW ("AM 580 Motor City Favorites"). What a great song! I wonder why this song isn't on CD yet.
Detroit?
Hello Stratman '78.
Not a Lightfoot classic, but still the first 45 I ever had of Lightfoot. Never get tired of it.
I first heard this song on a radio documentary about Gord in 1982 or so. The host said that Gord is a perfectionist and disliked this album (I think it's "Two Tones at the Village Gate") so much that he bought up all the copies he could find and destroyed them. It was exciting to hear these early songs and I thought I would never hear them again. Now with the internet and UA-cam everyone can enjoy them. Thank you for this!
I was the first one to post it on the internet / UA-cam, it wasn't long after someone else did as well
What genre of music do you like/prefer?
@@c7i6abc folk mostly but also rock and country.
Linda, I downloaded this audio from Napster in 1999, first listened to it when I was young and free spirited, love it, not the words, just the sound. I looked for it on UA-cam, coudln't find it. So I added a picturel, made it a video/slide and uploaded, quite a few people appreciated it and that's great. I consider your comment a positive one, but would love to hear how you concludd your evaluation, seems to hold merit I must say. I like your thinking. e.
Use to be a version of this song here but they took it off. Not sure why. But....the version they had had Gordo singing "YEP" intermediately throughout the song. This version sounds like the original. Thanks for the post. I'm 36 years old and grew up listening to Gordo with my Dad. Just went to his concert here in Utah this past Winter.
Well - he is talking/singing about a lifestyle strategy. Love is a commitment! We can try to be flexible about it if both people are willing to negotiate... or we can remain madly in love and battle it out. His Dad warned him it would be a crazy ride. In '74 when I first heard of him here in US, his life was an open book and I like SO MANY got drawn into it. I found him to be real! And very dedicated to his calling. We were buddies and I'm proud of myself now to call him friend.
I've been looking for this for some time---- thank you
Wow that's quite a coincidence, and then immediately find it here. I searched for it on UA-cam in 2011 and couldn't find it. I grew up with it and felt that everybody should at leasat hear it once. So I dug out my old 45 and recorded it and uploaded it. I think someone else has it on UA-cam now also. Yes, it is aa very good tune... a lot of people seem to like it.
Gordon Lightfoot just LOVE him!!!!
Thank you for the post,,,,, This song and the flip side Go Go Round made me a life long fan...thanks again
Marc Benoit, you are welcome. Eric from c7i6abc (another channel of mine)
Thank you! Haven't heard this song for years! Love it!
Around 1966 or 1967, I first heard this song. My parents had the record, but I just can't remember if it was a 45 or on an lp. This particular one I downloaded from Napster back in 1999. Although I have it on my hard drive, I often looked for it on UA-cam but could never find it; so I uploaded it for others to hear. I think it's a really nice tune. Is this the first time you've gotten to hear it? If so, then I've done my job. As I say in the description, everyone should hear this song. e.
It takes nothing away from Gordon to notice the talent of his side men--I don't believe what I'm hearing from the other guitarist in my right earphone.
haven't hear this one for way too long. Thanks for posting it
And now it's probably another long time.
Eric A. Jollymore
I was today years old when I learned the Jeremy Fisher version of this song is actually a cover 😮
Thank you for posting this.I never heard this song before, and I love it!
Matt Bruce that's great Matt. Enjoy. I do since 1966. :-)
One of Gordon's top 10 hits in Canada, but hard to find and seldom remembered, which is likely because it was a single exclusive.
I learned this song many many years ago, and appreciate the post! "So fine, so fine the web you spin! Spin, spin , spin, spin!
Hello Mike. I can't find yo on facebook
I just heard this song on the radio and had to look it up! Unfortunetly, I can't find it on my music download program... ):
Are you on Facebook Tanya?
Totally agree Another great song!
love this one
Thank you so much!
R.C.
LOVE this song!! It's on my work ipod!!
Thank you for uploading this so I could check it out. Not bad, reminds a bit of the stuff Cat Stevens was doing at the same time (before his Mona Bone Jakon album).
You are welcome. When I first read Cat Stevens, I was thinking of Cat Mother and the All Night Newsboys, I know.. .not close; but they did one of my favourite songs from '69 CAT MOTHER AND THE ALL NIGHT NEWS BOYS GOOD OLD ROCK´
Hey Eric. Well, to be honest, I am in the process of recording a gospel CD and my producer is arranging one of the songs and he told me to listen to "Bitter Green" by GL. Then I got to thinking of this song of his that I used to love long ago and did a search and found it! I am in Ontario so not near Nova Scotia! They are calling for a "clipper" here on Thursday. We have been fortunate this winter in not having an overload of snow! :) Thanks again! Will check out your channel. Carol
Hi Carol, it's been quite a while, love chatting with you. How are the recordings going?
Wow, Carol that was 10 years agi,
RIP
There is a version of this tune on the Bear Family edition of the Sunday Concert album (Bear Family is a German label--I think its an import). The version on that album rocks even harder than this one and the production is better. There's also some other stuff like "Movin'" and "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" on that album. PM me if you want a link to buy it.
David Berlin For Gods sake man upload it....PLEASE!!!
It's not on Sunday Concert but on The Bear Family release of Back On Earth (1968)
ps I read somewhere that it charted #6 at Radio CHUM in Toronto, ON and #25 at CKLG in Vancouver, BC. Released on United Artists Records, the single is not found on any Gordon Lightfoot album or CD. But I know someone who has ordered it off eBay and as I understood it, it's with a collection of other ones, expect it's a remake and is on CD.
Seems like Gord died yesterday, May Day -May 1. 2023. Rip Gordon Lightfoot. You wrote good songs.
@rockotimpatch He experienced chart success in Canada with his own recordings, beginning in 1962 with the number-three hit "(Remember Me) I'm the One". But there's a lot of info on Wikipedia that you can look up through Google.
Continued: I too, listen to people everyday say things, meaning something specifically, but I often read something completely differently and by far much more interesting. I usually have to refrain from where my mind goes, it happens that way when people make ambiguous comments, who knows what they really mean?
You are welcome. As I say in my post (Other channel c7I6abc) I wanted to try to make sure this song doesn't get lost in time. I see that one other person uploaded it since I did. Glad you got to enjoy it now and way back when. -- Eric / Nova Scotia.
Thanks So much!
Thank you, it is a great song, but is seldom played or heard around here. I could not find it on UA-cam so I uploaded it in April 2011 and someone else uploaded it again a few months later.
And I thought I had everything he had done since '64
I'm glad you came across it as I (c7i6abc aka Eric A. Jollymore) said. See below. I listened to it in 66 or 67, and never forgot it.
Agreed :-)
They were spinning each other in. Spin spin spin spin.... "My web or yours," he said. lol
Don't you love what his Daddy told him? Don't get your nuts cracked, Son!
lol, funny. Been a long time Linda, loved chatting with you back then. Eric A. Jollymore on Facebook
@frankie1023 You're welcome, it's one of his very best and now rare to find. Find me on Facebook as Eric A. Jollymore
one of Ontario's own......RIP
Thank you for your comment Linda. I think he said, And my daddy said when I was young,
"Beware the web of love, my son,
To be in love is to be insane,
Make an old man groan, a young man pain!"
All the day, sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
AND you take from that what you have written, much appreciaed, it shows thinking outside of the box, not his, lol.
Hi Carol, I'm glad you got to hear it after so long. May I ask, how did you come across my channel. For some reason, there has been several people send me messages or subscribe to this channel over the past three or four days, I'm just curious. And hey, are you close enough to Nova Scotia to be affected by the three days of snow we're being promised for the weekend :-)
Eric
GL stayed on course. He shares his beliefs graphically in his adult love songs. He never stopped believing in marriage and family. Oddly enough, he kept it together. I'd love to hear his wives stories b/c as a woman, there was no going back for me once I was divorced? For men it is probably no big deal. Lifetime commitments only happen to ordinary men (those who control their lust in less meaningful ways). :-)
This must have been on a 45 rpm, It's not on any of his albums. I think this song is from 1966
Russell, I think you are right. Please read the comments
I have commented from 3 different channels of mine
I uploaded the song in 2011. A lady from Australia asked if it was available in Canada. We continued to talk and in 2015 she came to Canada and visited with us. She traveled to different places, each time coming back to stay with us for a day or so. The last 3 months of her trip she stayed with us until she returned home leaving January 11, 2016. We are still in regular contact. My name is Eric Jollymore. I live in Nova Scotia. This is musicChanneL44. The song was uploaded to my c7i6abc channel. I think you will learn more in the comments. Thanks for writing.
What a great song. It is a single or was it off one of his very early albums??
Hi Rita Ann Catherine Dickson, you should come to Canada sometime :-)
Rita Dickson, 10 years ago, let me know if or when you get this message written on your birthday 2023, but in NS. Yesterday for you.
I'm not surprised. I find the drums too noisy in this version, there seems to be a mumble of noise in the background, now that you mention a better version. Really, you should have link on here. :-)
Weirdly enough, to my ears, this one sounds more like a Gordon Lightfoot song when Stompin' Tom does it than in Gord's own version. That's not any kind of criticism, though: both versions sound terrific. Am I the only one who hears it that way?
Also, do you have any music on UA-cam?
probably his first tune, you think?
What is the CD source of this version? It is the 45 in stereo! I had no idea this existed.
I'm sorry, I don't know. From what I've been hearing regarding CD's they are becoming or have become a thing of the past. I still use them though. Maybe take this audio and burn it to a blank cd.
@@c7i6abc Thanks for the reply - I have since located the CD. This UA-cam copy is not that great in quality, perhaps a low bit-rate version, but at least it's stereo!
On what album can I find this on?
I still haven't heard that it's on an album Billy.
Yes, I see my error :-)
Carol, you might be more interested in checking out my other channel, JTPromotions, C7I6abc has so much stuff you could get lost and bored quickly.. maybe. :-)
Those were the days (1970s) of "free love." Perfect time for rock stars to appear in all their glory to liberate millions from their inhibitions? Our minds were sanctified by the likes of John Lennon - "Come Together."
*sigh - we were rebelling against the intolerance of our conniving parents probably because they hadn't been strict enough with us? We showed them! lol A certain % of every generation seems to do the same when they are scared of becoming adults!
(to be cont.)
Linda, hello.
