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 !!
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.
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.
And also in the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
@@williamh4172 He's so much than that one song, now overplayed...
Agree with you on If you could read my mind.
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.
Yes you nailed it…..haunting and melancholy! Amazing
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!
a gorgeous song with eloquent lyrics and a heartfelt vocal.
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......
We can not forget "Melanie".
We cannot forget Springsteen.
He's got a masculine voice. He reminds me of the classic Bard telling stories about his life and times.
My dad bought me Gord’s Gold (greatest hits) album when I was a kid. Every song amazing.
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.
I second this recommendation, Canadian Railroad Trilogy is a song unlike anything else, an epic story of history.
I third it. Awesome song!
Lol! I was listening to this recently and my first thought was how much Jay and Amber would enjoy it!
I love that song so much! It makes me feel nostalgic, even though I'm not Canadian.
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.
Anytime is a good time to listen to Gordon Lightfoot! Rainy Day People should be your next song by him.
"Rainy Day People" is heart felt and excellent.
Yep, this one please
Sundown is my personal favorite. R.I.P. Gordan........
Another great one from Gordon is "Sundown"
Simply my favorite song of all time, GL songs hit hard absolutely timeless.
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!
Yes! Great suggestions!!!!
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".
This is an incredible love song. I played and sang it for my wife at our wedding.
"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.
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.....
One of the greatest.....
Canada's great poet musician/storyteller!! He's one of the reasons I am a proud Canadian👍🎶
Like Maurice LaMarche doing Richard Nixon, "He makes me proud to say that I'm an American...that's because he's a Canadian!"
ua-cam.com/video/7cBN6AyW8WE/v-deo.html
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 👍🏻
The whole Sundown album is a masterpiece no weak songs on that album.
Gordon Lightfoot later songs are just as beautiful. I was shocked.🎨🎶
My parents had Gordon Lightfoot records playing constantly in our house growing up. Love the singer/songwriter era. Please revisit Eddie Rabbitt!! Drivin' My Life Away, Warning Sign, Someone Could Lose A Heart Tonight, Step by Step and his duet with Crystal Gayle "You and I" such fond family memories tied to all these songs. Keep smiling!! 🎶🥰🎶
Love Drivin' My Life Away. They liked I Love a Rainy Night, so they should like that one as well.
Love Eddie Rabbitt. Another artist who died too soon. My favorite song of his is "Suspicions".
@ mike Kling don’t forget about every which way but loose by Eddie rabbit love that song and the movie
The singer songwriter era is NOT OVER. Plenty of folks carrying on with great elan.
Yes absolutely Eddie Rabbitt! Also “I love a Rainy Night”!
"MINSTREL OF THE DAWN" is a must hear!
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 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".
@@terryburtner9682 They're about an hour apart. Surprise is northwest of Phoenix, while Carefree is northeast and further away from the metro Phoenix area.
Grew up there going on Carefree hwy on the way to Bartlett Lake…..
Used to drive the Carefree around sunset after work on summer days, but they city has grown so much around it that it is too cluttered with traffic now, and hardly "carefree" if you are just trying to enjoy a peaceful drive.
That's was one of my favorite roads when we moved to Arizona many, many years ago. Rollercoaster with all the beautiful desert plants -- especially after a rainstorm floods had cleared. Flowers, delicate desert flowers. 😊
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.
Great to see young people listening to some of the great artists of the past. John Denver and Gordon Lightfoot were my favorites when I was young.
RIP Gordon....thanks for the reaction vid....This and all the other highway songs could make a good CD....
I'm 61 yrs old yet NEVER heard of the beautiful song before?? Crazy me!! Loved it so much. xx
Canadian folk perfection. Gordon puts your soul where you know it longs to be…
"Her name was Ann and I'll be dammed if I recall her face" That carefree highway helps put things in perspective. To deal with the heartaches, the disappointments and the losses and helps one to focus on the important things. Great lyrics, and practical advice.
She left me not knowing what to do......Carefree Highway, Sundown two of my favorites from GL. Songs hit hard , Absolutely timeless. Those songs are masterpieces among a ton more by GL. Peace......
"Beautiful" by Gordon Lightfoot should be your next song by him it is so mellow, you will simply float away on this song.....
Nobody composes a song like Gordon Lightfoot. You cannot help but feel exactly what he intends. Melancholy, mellow, upbeat, hopeful, perhaps all at once. RIP
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"
He is like a folk singer to me. Mellow like story teller kinda . love the acoustics in this song.
Yes, very much so. One of my fave storytellers!!! We have been blessed to have experienced some of the most beautiful of Singer/Songwriter/Storytellers such as: Harry Chapin, Don McLean, Neil Diamond, Cat Stevens-(Yusuf), James Taylor, Bill Withers, just to name a few.
What do you mean like he is a folk singer his songs are of the people and for the people that's what a folk singer is
@@saundrascheuer-syfert4192 Ok, geeez . To me he is like a story teller in this song a Folk singer. Yes I agree he is a folk singer.
Some more Canadiana-Neil Young "Harvest Moon."What a delightful song🙂🇨🇦
Love Gordon Lightfoot! Daylight Katy, Sundown & If You Could Read My Mind
That melancholy voice of Gordon Lightfoot. Jay and Amber , you will love him.
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.
i drive it all the time, one of my favorite highways, to much traffic and crazy drivers going way to fast have spoiled it.
Gordon Lightfoot (RIP) is not only a masterful songwriter but he also writes all his own music and does all the arrangements. More please "Canadian Railway Trilogy" "The Circle is Small" "Bitter Green" "Black Day in July" and "Rainy Day People" are some of my favorites.
Great singer song writer from our friends in Canada 🇨🇦. Great reaction.
I saw a UA-cam 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.
I was lucky enough to see him in concert at the beautiful Massey Hall in Toronto in 1973, 74, 75 and 76! You had to stand in line for tickets the first day or all week would be sold out. He was beloved then and revered now. Best concerts ever. Oh...what do you know of Harry Chapin? Sang at the same time as Gordon
He died young. "Taxi" is Harry's most famous song.
Another great Canadian treasured singer/writer is Ian Tyson. Teamed up with his wife Sylvia (also a writer) they had many hits number one being "Four Strong Winds"
Absolutely! Real cowboy music with stories to spare. Navajo Rug, Gallo Del Cielo, Springtime in Alberta, Claude Dallas. My dad’s favourite singer, so I got to hear his records a lot. Not that I’m complaining.
The pride of Orillia, Ontario, Canada and reportedly one of Bob Dylan's fave songwriters! My Uncle Bill used to play on a lot of the same dances/gigs as Gord in the Georgian Bay area, back in the day before Gord hit it big. I'd recommend "Early Morning Rain", "Ribbon of Darkness", or "The Canadian Railway Trilogy".
Three great choices, hope they do them all!
Song for a Winter's Night - the original recording.
This man has written a treasure trove of great, haunting, beautiful songs - it would take a separate channel just devoted to him to cover them all. This is why Bob Dylan said of him, "when you hear a Gordon Lightfoot song, you never want it to end." Please consider "Song for a Winter's Night," an absolute masterpiece and the later version of "The Circle is Small." Great job, guys! Love your channel and always astute comments!
"Black Day In July", "Early Morning Rain" & Rainy Day People are a must for more Gordon Lightfoot greatness!
Gordon Lightfoot is my husband's favorite singer and one of mine. We have lived with some fantastic singers: Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Neil Diamond, Elvis, Kenny Rogers, Mac Davis, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Garth Brooks, too many to name them all. The greatest bands: The Beatles, Bon Jovi, The Who, The Rolling Stones, ELO, Traveling Wilburys, Moody Blues, again too many to name them all. It's been an amazing lifetime of great music and I'm so happy that you are discovering it. I love your reactions and look forward to watching them every night.
"Sundown" is THe Lightfoot song
One of my favorite songs by him is "Beautiful".
"Summer Side Of Life" is my fave by him.
Gordon Lightfoot recorded one of the most beautiful songs made in the 70's , the song is ironically named " Beautiful" Amber would love it !!!
the morning after blues , with my head down to my shoes ....a night of hard drinking .
One of the all time great songwriters, and one of my favorite artists.
Just amazing, superb voice and composition. A true Canadian treasure, 5 stars. 👍👍👍👍👍
Carefree highway is about 15 minutes away from me here in North Phoenix.
I just heard that Gordon has passed away. Rest in peace to one of the most talented people ever to grace us with his presence.
Gordon Lightfoot just passed. He was a storyteller whose deceptively simple songs drew you in and stayed with you.
Gordon is a Canadian treasure. I was playing in a traveling band in the early 70's. We toured Canada - twice. I remember this song being played over and over on the radio as we traveled.
What an amazing trip that must have been!
I have never heard of Gordon light foot before sorry to say I didn’t really like that tune 🇬🇧
@@kevingrant7098 tastes are personal. But I find it difficult to comprehend that he hasn't been heard of before. Such a pervasive icon.
Was in a Band in 72. Country Rock Blues mixed. Good song! Got your ears on Toranto! 🇺🇸🇬🇧✌️🛣️
One of the most beautiful songs by Gordon Lightfoot!! Love him!
"I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I didn't like.Everytime I hear a song of his,it's like I wish it would last forever."------- Bob Dylan.I think Gordon Lightfoot used a 12 string guitar quite a lot.Peace and Love to you two.
There isn't a bad song on his "Gords Gold" double album.
I love Gordon who grew up near me. You really need to check out his song “Beautiful”. It’s one of his best.
Between the Beatles, John Denver, Chris de Burgh and Gordon Lightfoot they're my favorite artists! This was a favorite song! Thanks for reviewing it! Gordon was playing a 12-String with a lead guitar playing in the breaks.
That whole album was one of my favorites!
@@rondiacarman376 it definitely is a great album!
Bob Dylan, someone often mentioned as the greatest lyricist, considered Gordon Lightfoot the greatest lyricist he had ever heard.
He's seams to b so cool. He's like a poet musically & lyrically.
He has so many great songs. A few I would recommend are (the aptly named) "Beautiful", "Don Quixote" (IMO his best lyrics). "On Susan's Floor", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" and "Never Too Close".
“Black Day in July”. is all about Detroit in turmoil. A very prolific lyric to listen. Gordon wrote for others, and is covered by so many many of the artists over time. “Black Day in July”. is worthy of his take on the situation in 1967 summer in Detroit USA.
You must hear 'Seven Island Suite' from the same album. I was newly married, a young Aircon Engineer, driving round London in a Marina Van, listening to this (on 8 track!). That was 40 years ago!
Gordon is a kind of philosopher/poet. And he is great looking to boot. Love me some Lightfoot when I want to think and chill. 🇨🇦🤗🥇
Gordon is a master songwriter. Listen closely to the lyrics of his songs, especially "Circle of steel" or " Race among the ruins". No one can turn a phrase quite like him.
Yall need to listen to BEAUTIFUL by Gordon Lightfoot. A beautiful song.
I’ve always seen Gordon Lightfoot as a folk singer, the best folk singer. Every song of his is a treasure.
I work with folks that have developmental disabilities and one of the guys likes the oldies station. I actually downloaded a few of the songs I’ve heard over the years with them cause they were so dope… Carefree Highway is top of that list. I never heard it before working with them… it’s peaceful to me
This ABSOLUTE Classic HITS LIKE A BRICK!!!,, The Ides Of March "Vehicle"
TRUST ME On This One!!
I second this emotion!
Yesss! I AGREE!
@@keymack2477 🤪Thanks..I Think It's A Real Shame That None Of The Music Reactors Have Reacted To This Classic.
@@chab1rd155 Thanks So Much.
Has to be one of the best lyricists and storytellers of all time. And his music and voice are pure magic. Keep exploring!
Love this song. It takes me back to my childhood back in the 70's. When times was easy.
J, you need to play Gordon Lightfoot's "Beautiful" while holding Amber's hand.
"Early Mornin' Rain " is the 1st song I remember hearing by Mr. Lightfoot. " Rainy Day People " and " Beautiful " are on my favorites list. I'm pretty sure you would enjoy reacting to any of them.
Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian Folk/Country legend who turned out hits for many years. Funny story (sort of) approximately 10 or more years ago I was working in the newsroom when my phone rang, and the voice on the other end of the line was very familiar..It was Gordon Lightfoot, and he asked my name and then thanked us after telling me that another Toronto news station had been reporting he passed away. We spoke for about 10 minutes. Very nice man.
GL has a lovely warble in his voice that with some singer can be distracting but with GL it is like warm honey and it suits his style of music
If you ever want to hear another great history lesson from Gordon Lightfoot… Listen to “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” It is a beautiful song, quite long, that tells the history of the building of the Canadian railway.
Gordon's song " If You Read my Mind "
Was covered in Disco in 1998. STARS ON 54 was the name of group featuring 3 women.
Early Morning Rain is my favorite Gordon Lightfoot song
Was just a teenager bussing tables when the senior waitress shared his album with me, magical 😍
U saw him live in Biloxi, Mississippi, a few years ago. Now in his 80's, he still sounds amazing!
Marla, I love Gordon Lightfoot's music but I beg to differ that he still sounds amazing. I've also seen him a few times in the last 15 years and he sounds nothing like his younger self. His voice is not very good anymore I'm sorry to say but I guess with his age that is to be expected.
@@markmacdonald8512 I know that he was I'll for some time. When we saw him, he sounded great.
Gordon Lightfoot is a master story teller in every tune he sings.
You could easily react to 30 of his songs. Did you know that he actually notate his own music? Dylan respects and admires him, as he does Leonard Cohen.
Gordon was such a great storyteller and songwriter and this song and "Sundown" are my two favorites from him!
"The Circle is Small" is one of my favorites by Gordon Lightfoot but "Beautiful" is my all time favorite of his. I love me some Gordy!
Absolutely Agree. These Two!
I got one for you!! one I had forgotten all about!! Sly and Family Stone -- Hot Fun in the Summertime!! one of the Sly most grooven songs from the 60's
Rest in peace, Mr. Lightfoot. I learned today that this song was inspired by the Carefree Highway, north of Phoenix. Makes me appreciate this song all the more RIP 🪦 😢
RIP Gordon Lightfoot Love your music!!
Gordon is Canada's Bob Dylan, a Canadian legend in the music industry .....Hope you check out more of Canada's great bsnds you haven't reacted to yet...Like The Barenaked Ladies, Our Lady Peace, Colin James, or Blue Rodeo......lots of great music for y'all to discover....
Peace, love, and happiness to all from your friendly neighbor from the north....
😎🙏❤️🇨🇦
"Carolina on my Mind" by James Taylor. I can't believe yall haven't got to it yet. It's 💯 🔥 please give people what they want
You guys nailed it. The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes.
Gordon Lightfoot RIP. great review on some really great music. Keep up the great work 👍
This was played on Public Radio on a Sunday morning during my drive to work. I was on a winding country road. It made a most wonderful morning to be alive.
Just listened to your episode on "If you could read my mind." I'm glad you liked it, also Edmund Fitzgerald. Gordon Lightfoot was the sound through my college years in Canada. I have always loved his work. He died yesterday, so I am feeling sad and so grateful for his legacy.
One of my favorite singer-songwriters. If you want a treat, listen to the entire Gord's Gold double album. I wore the grooves off that one back in the 80s.
One of the last remaining Troubadours! Fantastic person and a real Canadian statesman!
wonderful song by a talented artist who will be missed.....
I took the line "Now the thing that I call living is just being satisfied with knowing I got no one left to blame" to heart long ago
Gordon is a master songwriter/singer - always been a favorite of mine.
His music always reminds me of my dad, I grew up in the 70s in southern Ontario where Gordon is from and his music was everywhere when I was growing up. I'd go fishing with my dad and it was inevitable that at least one of his songs would be on the radio. I lost my dad 12 years ago, thanks for reminding me.
I’d like to see you react to some of Lightfoot’s earlier, more folk oriented songs like Early Morning Rain, Did She Mention My Name or That’s What You Get For Lovin’ Me. Not the slick production you hear in his later songs, but every bit as good. Just a couple guitars and Gord’s great vocals and lyrics.
