    Gordon died a year and a day ago, he is greatly missed. Check out 'If You Could Read My Mind' next. Cheers.

    The backstory to this song is that he wrote it about his ex-girlfriend, who is also the woman who gave John Belushi his last fatal speedball injection. Good thing that he left her behind. Check out "Rainy Day People" RIP Gordon Lightfoot, and John Belushi too

      Cathy Smith was also mentioned in The Weight by The Band. She is Carmen who was walking side by side with the devil in that song.

      @cynergy4, I didn't know that either. I knew the Jim Belushi story about his death and that Cathy Smith actually did time for her actions but had no idea Sundown was in any way, shape or form associated with her. Thanks for sharing 👍

    Gord had his problems and controversies but he is one of my favorite storytellers, his pen was indeed mighty. So glad you react to the music of the 70s and 80s, there was so much incredible music and artists from that period.Love and respect, my shirtless brother, hog fam Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

    I’m so happy you are feeling Gordon Lightfoot! I am a 54 year old that grew up with this sound. And! You are bringing things to my attention that I never realized because I was so zoned in to the guitar parts. Great reaction!

    "Sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feelin' better when I'm feelin' no pain"..........The expression "feeling no pain" means being drunk. He's saying it's a shame it takes being drunk to feel better.

    Great song! I was so sad to hear of Gordon Lightfoot's passing away recently. Loved his music. One of the best songwriters & storytellers. He was a Canadian legend. He had so many hits such as "If You Could Read My Mind", "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", "Steel Rail Blues", "Ribbon Of Darkness", "Carefree Highway", "Rainy Day People", "Cotton Jenny", "Black Day In July", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" etc.

    His concerts were so calm and peaceful. He is missed, and he even kept performing after throat cancer. Gordon was folk music, listen to If you could read my mind and The Edmond Fitzgerald, he was a great story teller.

    Great reaction. I’ve loved this song, and Gordon Lightfoot in general, since the 1970’s. Might I suggest “Beautiful “, and a lesser known song “Cotton Jenny”. And I’m adding another- “Song for a Winter’s Night”.

  • @robbob5302
    @robbob5302 5 месяцев назад

    This song is about a former lover and backup singer of his named Cathy Smith. A scandalous woman known for bouncing from one celebrity to the next, years later she would be convicted of manslaughter, in the death of John Belushi.

    Not all music featuring an acoustic guitar is country music. I would classify Gordon's music as folk/storyteller. He's from Canada so thats the accent you're hearing.

  • @magicbrownie1357

    For a "love song" there seems to be an undertone of danger to this song. Gordon was a genius to put these two feelings together.

    Gordon Lightfoot, The Tragically Hip ( New Orleans is sinking ) The Guess Who , and Rush truly capture what it means to be Canadian. The Tragically Hip have a lot of bangers..Boots or Hearts, 20th century man or New Orleans is sinking would be a great start. BTW the accent is from down East Coast Canada. Peace out ✌️ ☮️

  • @tylerpidlubny3472
    @tylerpidlubny3472 6 месяцев назад

    Yeah man. I'm happy you did this one after The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. This is definitely a more fun and less tragic tale. I believe this is the studio recording. I have heard thousands of songs in my lifetime and this still ranks in my top 10.
    Gordon Lightfoot foot was a legend. If you want a more recent Canadian legend then you are going to have to check out another Gordon with The Tragically Hip.
