I grew up with his beautiful songs. There was always one that expressed my thoughts better than I could. This is my favourite, takes me right across my beautiful country. Rest in peace oh Great Storyteller.
Great song and an amazing, heartfelt performance! Gordon Lightfoot is the best song story teller. He is also an effective ambassador for his country that he loves so much, Canada.
For me, it was *"We are the navvies who worked upon the railway. Swingin' our hammers in the bright blazin' sun. Layin' down track and building the bridges, bendin' our backs til the railroad is done."* A masterpiece if there ever was one. Awesome storytelling!
Safe travels Gordon Lightfoot. Heaven will be blessed with your music as we have been all these years.
Amen 🕊
The best ever!!!
Tremendous. I still recall watching this performance from July 1, 1992. Have looked for it on youtube many times. Thank you.
If this isn't one of the greatest songs ever written, I don't know what is!

What an incredibly beautiful story and song. The distinct parts to the song bring a different emotion to that part of the story. Amazing.
Thank you for this post. I’m not Canadian, but I’ve got tears in my eyes. There is a word for this song: epic.
There will never be another Gordon Lightfoot.

Of all the songs by Sir Gordon LIghtfoot, this is among my favourite songs by him.
Every time I listen to this song, I burst into tears. I don't know why, since I'm not from Canada, nor have I ever lived there. Awesome song!

Your human and not a heartless Romulan.
Me neither, but I’ve got tears in my eyes. There a word for this song: epic.
