I've known this song for decades but this has to be the most tender version I've ever heard, a truly lovely interpretation. Gorgeous enchanting quality to her singing, riding on a wave of luscious strings, just reels you in. Surely she's had professional training!
@@LeaSanacore no prob and you are welcome. One of my favorite songs even posted a version myself. Your version is very nice and has so much clarity.... Bravo👏👏👏👏
Nailed it! This is a very emotional song. Probably deeper than most people realize. A lot of people cover this song, but they don’t put the emotion behind it to get the full effect. This the best cover I’ve heard yet. Great job getting the emotion behind it. I won’t lie, I teared up when listening to this. That’s the effect this song should have.
Lea, this song has resonated with my soul since I heard it first at probably 7 years old. Clearly it was the tune that hooked me initially. Now over 60 years old I have had a lifetime to wonder about the story so poetically told in this song. Turns out THAT is the most alluring part. Your song is especially beautiful because the emotions in your voice make every word you deliver sound like you know exactly the pain that Gordon Lightfoot was trying to work through when he wrote this. Thank you for sharing your talents!
I love your performance, Ms. Sanacore. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and I dislike most of the covers I have seen., Not yours. You have the skill, the voice, the musicianship and the charisma. You keep it simple. Most people who add flourishes do not have the feeling for the song that I like. I also appreciate your appearance. I'm an old man, but I love female beauty as much as ever. I very much appreciate woman singers like you; with your makeup and lovely hair--you have something that I find all too rare: You know how to appear feminine, attractive, even alluring, WITHOUT appearing skanky or cheap. You portray female gentleness and sensitivity, NOT stupidity or triviality. God bless you.
I LIVE for your covers!! All the best artists on your channel like John denver, Jim croce and now Gordon lightfoot?! Yes please!!! I love your voice and you always make these covers so amazing.
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 wishing 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 am a ghost, 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 drugstore sells 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 wishing 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 trying 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 feeling's gone And I just can't get it back
Beautiful Gordon Lightfoot cover Lea!!! Outstanding soft vocal and very skilled acoustic fingerpicking! I just posted my acoustic version of this song today, and saw your cover.... nicely done!! Steve
Hello Lea, my name is Dale. Saying hi to you from the Detroit area. I'm a musician as well, a drummer. I have to say, out of the hundreds of covers of this amazing song, Diana Krall and YOUR version is the best! You have such a beautiful voice. This song means so much to me. Gordon is actually a cousin of mine. Decades ago we did a family tree and found out he is about our 4th cousin. Just wanted to say hi and your version is absolutely beautiful. Thank you. P. S. The band Toto has a song called Lea. Spelled like your name. Give it a listen. Joe Williams, the son of famous composer John Williams, is the singer with Toto at that time of the Lea recording.
A wonderful version of that masterpiece. Especially that trembling in your voice! I hope I picked the right word for the impression you convey. Because it`s not my natuve tongue. I`m German.
I'm not an overly emotional guy, but wow, your version of this song gives me a kind of euphoric sadness. I don't know how many times I've listened to it, but it gets me every time. Well done. Also inspires me to start doing music again. Thanks.
Nice job on one of Gordon Lightfoot's best songs. (I do this one also, but I don't have a video of mine yet. I also do his "Pony Man," " Bitter Green", "Sit Down Young Stranger", Early Morning Rain, and others.) Great song writer and singer and player.
Absolute standard for how to do a cover of this great song. Faithful to the guitar arrangement but with some excellent personal variety in the melody line. Love it and am using as a model for my own version. I know the finger pick fills are borrowed but they're really nicely done!
Beautiful interpretation. Beautiful voice. You remind me a little of Linsey de Paul of Taste me don't waste me fame. You could just about pass as her sister, beautiful blonde.
Amazing love the way the way you sing and play this is one of my favourite songs we sang it in high school now lm going to play it on guitar and sing lm only new to learning x
Very Melodic voice! I Luv it ! Once again, you've played one of my old time Fav's ! Stick with your musical career- Stick with it ! In the end, you'll be glad (and hopefully, it'll pay-off, too!) Best of wishes Ken
Another really good one ! Here again, this piece of music, your musicianship and your very smooth, very melodic voice takes me back 40+ years to younger days, one particular night (having seen G. Lightfoot in a small venue- sat front & centre) and one particular Woman... I night to remember... Thank You!
A 3 years overdue comment: still lacking words. Presence and warmth and time seems to stand still really. Absolutely great Léa. Must try and steel your guitar play on this at least. Voice is without reach.

Gordon Lightfoot has a huge smile on his face when he hears this beautiful woman sing his song.

So beautiful! Thank you.
Great cover plus that high lonesome sound
Thank you!!
One of my favorite songs. So nice to hear a woman sing it. Love the fingerstyle too. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!!

That was just plain Brilliant. Pure as a raindrop and gentle as a snowflake.
"Pure as a raindrop and gentle as a snowflake", I love this image! Thank you!
this isn't good; it's great. actually better than great.
Thanks so much, this comment isn't great... it's awesome! :)
Beautiful cover. How are there not more views?
One of the loveliest folk songs written and performed with a silky smooth vocalization as well as perfect guitar picking. Thank you :)
Thank you so much for the lovely words!
I am a truck driver ( coast to coast ) and I listen to your music everyday ! I love this version !!!
Wow, thank you Andrew!! Happy to know you enjoy my music!
Why is this young woman not on a major record contract? C'mon people, put her in a recording studio and let her voice soar!
Doesn't need that to prove anything. She is just great already.
She & her dad can figure all this out. She's got it & is young with all the world & life in front of her.
Piekne wykonanie ,piękna osoba ❤

Sparse guitar here, but it works brilliantly as to not crowd that perfect vocal performance. Beautiful work! ❤
Great stuff, love these old acoustic songs. You do a great job of covering them and making them your own.
Thanks so much!

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 wishing 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 am a ghost, 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 drugstore sells
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 wishing 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 trying 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 feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back
Quite a pleasing voice you have!
Brilliant version
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!

LYRICS:
""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 wishing 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, you can't see
If I could read your mind, love

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

And I just can't get it back
