Gordon Lightfoot Lyrics


The title track and first single of Gordon Lightfoot's new
album, A Painter Passing Through, has a lot to do with the
much-decorated artist who sings it.

"It's very autobiographical," says Lightfoot, who wrote the
song and all but two of the 10 cuts on his new disc. "It's
sort of the way I see myself now-or could see myself for
quite a few years to come. I turn 60 this year. I've
settled down now, and I'm in this wonderful position of
being allowed to make my own albums-and as usual, the songs
on this album paint pictures."

Review about Gordon Lightfoot songs
Gord and Sarah | Reviewer: Dave
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

I had forgotten this incredible song from my younger days. When I heard Sarah McLoughlan's version of it I was blown away. Then I went back to Gordon Lightfoot's version of it and it brought tears to my eyes. It's extraordinary to have two beautiful versions of an amazing song but you have to give it to Lightfoot for it's pureness and artistry, and let's not forget that he wrote it. One of a few modern day genius songwriters.

Forever a True Legend | Reviewer: Jeff Perry
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot is unquestionably one of the greatest songwriters/artists folk music has to its credit. Listen to his music on a cold, cloudy November day and your soul with thank you for it!!! He is a priceless treasure that is thankfully part our musical heritage, and will forever be loved in the hearts of many.

Ahh Gordon! | Reviewer: Lila
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

I Love Gordon! I hate the Fact that Sarah is getting credit for this song! She may be awesome, but she has nothing on Mr. Lightfoot! I know that he is Canadian, but his music reminds me so much of summer in northern Michigan where I grew up! I am so thankful for true artist like Gordon Lightfoot! The crap out there today is depressing.

Gordon Lightfoot...a Canadian Classic! | Reviewer: Brian Bastedo
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot was riding a wave of popularity in the years I was in my late teens to early 20's, when there was stiff competition in the Top 40's pop music scene. All those old Lightfoot songs are true classics today. I went to see him perform them about 7 years ago in Edmonton and could not believe how well he still performs them!

The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald performed by Gordon Lightfoot

I grew up in the Flint Michigan area and I remember the night the Fitzgerald sank becuse there was a nasty wind and rain storm that night. I remember my Father the next morning talking that a ship was missing on lake supurior that they think may have sank so the song is all based on true facts I remember

Harry Belafonte's version | Reviewer: HH
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

I recently watched a 1968 Smother's Brothers Season 3 DVD (the controversial episode 202) that had Harry Belafonte singing this song. I thought it was so great and had never heard of the song before hearing him sing it. I think his rendition is so compelling and beautiful.

Song for a Winter's Night in Sault Ste-Marie, Ontario | Reviewer: Carmen Bertrand
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

I just saw Gordon Lightfoot in Sault Ste-Marie, Ontario, and he chose this song as his encore. Like many others, I thought this was Sarah M's song until I saw it one of Lightfoot's albums a few months ago. What a privilege to hear it from the original artist!! The lyrics are so meaningful and I have added "Song For A Winter's Night" to my list of favourites.

Gordy's Got It.. | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song The Circle Is Small performed by Gordon Lightfoot

Any Gordy fan would have to admit, there isn't a song that he sings, that isn't absolutely awesome!! "The Circle Is Small" for me, is 'one' of his best! The lyrics, the music, the way he sings it.. gives me shivers!! I can listen to this song, cranked loudly, over and over and over....

Fantastic | Reviewer: Danny F
    ------ About the song Song For A Winter's Night performed by Gordon Lightfoot

As Anonymous pointed out the problems with "true Identity" or origins of artists can be an issue as I always thought Lightfoot was American until I looked at his bio. That said, this shouldn't distract from the fact that his origins don't matter, it's the music that's important and this song is fantastic.

Also check out other's such as Rich Man's Spiritual, Steel Rail Blues and Walls. All funky songs however there is just too many great ones to list.

One of Gordon's best | Reviewer: Anonymous
    ------ About the song Daylight Katy performed by Gordon Lightfoot

This is a wistful and evocative song with lyrics that say a lot without being obvious. Very few singer songwriters besides Gordon Lightfoot can combine poetry storytelling and music into something this haunting and thoughtful. A beautiful song telling a sad and dreamy tale.
