When I was dating my wife, she was a big fan of Gordon and we went to see him live in Montreal. We will be married for 50 yrs this July 11th and we are still big fans of Gordon Lightfoot.
There will never be another Gordon Lightfoot. He was truly an original. Unbelievable lyricist, incredible singer, and an exquisite human being. The world has suffered a terrible loss.
I love what he's done to this song, whereas his daughter pointed out that her parents divorce was not one sided, and Mr Lightfoot took ownership of his failures,and changed the lyrics to acknowledge his part. May you rest in peace.
As with friends, I find it hard to say that so & so is THE BEST. My dog is my best friend. I have a few buddies that would be contenders for THE BEST, however, I feel that if designated 1 in particular as the best, it would slight the rest. Mr Lightfoot is certainly a legend, an outstanding singer/songwriter & well deserves a place in music history. He is, without a doubt, in the high rankings range. That's only my opinion & point of view, not intended to stir up controversy.
He sure is the hero Gordon lightfoot was is and always will be the hero to millions of people rest in peace Gordon lightfoot Canada still misses you ❤❤❤❤
Gordon Lightfoot Born November 17 , 1938 Died May 1st , 2023 What the World lost that day was a Beautiful Voice a Beautiful Soul Now We All Have An Angel That will Sing from the Heavens to bring all those Beautiful Memories flooding back to us at moment's notice or when we least expect it. Gods speed Gordon Lighfoot You Sleep with the Angels now Sleep Peaceful
HONEY, FIRST, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDING THIS INFORMATION FOR ALL THOSE THEY SO LOVED GORDON LIGHTFOOR...I RECALL MY COLLGE DAYS WERE SO SPECIAL BECAUSE OF THIS MOST COMPASSIONATE AND CARING MAN. HE HAD SOMETHING THAT MOST HUMANS WILL NEVER HAVE...BUT MANY DO SEEM TO APPRECIATE AND LOVE THE HEART OF THIS ONCE IN A LIFETIME ARTIST. I WISH I COULD SAY THANK YOU TO GORDON LIGHTFOOD. YOU CLEARLY WROTE FROM YOUR HEART...A HEART THAT SHOWCASES A LOT OF WARM, KINDNESS AND LOVE...AS WAS THE MAN IN GORDON LIGHTFOOT. BLESSINGS AND PRAYERS GO WITH YOU AND WITH GORDON...KINDLY, BEV~~
I love how (unlike some musicians) he did not feel the need to try and "upgrade" his songs to "modern standards". The vocals are pure, just like the original.
I was ten in the 70s when I heard this song the first time. It's almost 2020 and I still think it's the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I'll never forget it. Thank you Mr. Lightfoot!
I am a 1963 model, and this song brings out so many happy memories for me of what was a decent childhood. Carefree days, no viruses trying to kill us, no real issues other than the pub closing at 11pm..... Happy days indeed.....
Funny how music has changed so much over the years. I think it's a direct reflection of the society we live in that influences music so much. Things were way different back then. Born in 1966, I have seen a lot of changes and rarely can I say that any of it has been for the better. So sad for me really. But I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment. God bless you and yours.
This song in recent days has been haunting me. I didn't know who sung it, so I put the words in a search engine. I'm 66 years old and to me this is Blue eye Soul music. This song resonates at a frequency only the gifted can achieve. God Bless him!
I heard the first strains of this flawless gem when I was 12 years old in 1970. The music seeped into my bloodstream and saturated my soul. It's been encoded in my DNA ever since ... Blessed to have grown up in that era.
I had the same intense experience with this song on a workman’s radio when I was 7 in 1970.. there was a funeral of a young boy in the Welsh chapel opposite our school, at playtime .. kids were watching silently, the tiny congregation overshadowed by giant stone angels… the world stopped right there. I tried to contain these intense feelings by fiddling with the bobbles on my jumper. I can only really appreciate the intense sad perfection of this song as an adult and like you, it suffused my very essence.
This is a rare and beautiful song about love that is over and the dispair felt by former lovers when they realize that the love is no longer there. I don't know where we went wrong, but the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back. Heartbreaking, I've been there.😢
+Seven Seas17 I get goosebumps everytime he says that line. Lost my mom in 2010 at 49 to cancer, Gordo was her favorite by far! Hard to listen to him without getting a tear in my eye.
Thank you, Canada, for sharing your national treasure, the rest of the world. I'm proud to call Neil Diamond, a national treasure, and honor to share with all
This man is brilliant poet and singer. His music is timeless, its as beautiful today as as it was when I first heard back in the sixties. He's Canada's Legend and I couldn't be more proud to him
It took me over 40 years to appreciate this man. Born in 70 in dc I always knew his music but it never clicked. I heard a song of his on the radio recently and was like.. I never realized how awesome he is! Thank you sir for all the great inspirational music
Me too. Going through his catalog now with Gord's Gold. So many great songs. He had it all, songwriting, performance and musicianship. I saw the documentary that had an interview with him in 2017(?) where he was asked if he was self-reflective of his life. And he said he had been in a state of making amends to people he had hurt, and that he was in a good place now. It's an inspiring idea as you age and become frailer, redemption and peace for the past is still possible if you seek it. Though with Lightfoot's massive talent and gifts to mankind through his music, if anyone gets a pass on questionble behavior in private life, it would be him, lol..
@Iceman 23 Thank you...He sang recently on TV...on pitch, and comes to life on a stage with music. Was that way with my mother, music brought her back.
I come back to this now knowing today's news of his passing. I live half an hour away from Gordon's hometown in Canada, they have a street named after him that I passed many times during my time in college. This news crushes the country, he was truly the greatest.
3:20 I love the fact his daughter got him to change this line. It was originally “the feelings which you lack” which seems to blame his wife for their breakup. His daughter got him to change it to “the feelings which WE lack” acknowledging the breakup was both or neither’s fault
They don,t write songs like this anymore. What a great song and legendary Canadian icon . Music lovers will always love Gordie Lightfoot songs. Timeless. Get well Gordie from all your fans. Love and peace be with you.
What a heartbreaking song ughhh 😢 this is such a human song. Ughhh we love so hard and then fall out of love and we do feel bad about it but it’s our truth and we have to live our lives. So sad. This is beautiful poetry
35 years ago I was moving from Montreal to California taking a three month car drive trip with my soon to be wife. I was a Lightfoot fan since a couple of years and had purchased tickets to one of his concerts in Vancouver well in advance. Upon arrival in Vancouver I called home in Argentina and learned that my grandfather had passed two days ago. I was so sad and shocked and my wife convinced me to go to the concert anyway, which we did. It was a deeply touching experience, I was in tears during many of his songs. Now I keep that memory in my heart. We`re still married and had 4 beautiful daughters.
Belive it was 1975 in LA, Young canadian singer with nice songs, nice lyric, and now an older man with a mature voice.... Thankyou Gordon for the pleasure of listning to your Music, your voice.
I've been a Gordon Lightfoot fan since the early 70's and this is the first time I've heard RESTLESS. Haunting, eerie and beautiful at the same time. Amazing singer/songwriter ... R.I.P.
Loved Gordon Lightfoot prose and melody since I first heard him back in the AM days many many moons ago. He is a Canadian treasure. I have thought too many times and passed up too many opportunities to see him perform live. Thoughts no more! . So on my 66th birthday it is going to happen. God bless you and your fantastic talent Gordon.
I recently had a weekly 360 mile round trip commute for work. Most of the time, I listened to his Pandora channel. Not just his music, but mostly his contemporaries, my favorite era But it did introduce me to a lot of his songs I hadn't heard. Early Morning Rain, and Canadian Railroad Trilogy, among others. All great.
Classic - over 50 years old time does not age a song like this because it is timeless! - They just do not write them like this anymore do they. Thanks Gordon Lightfoot for this true classic song for all time i love it.
We will truly miss your music your words, your personality. Thank you for all that you’ve given all of us during your lifetime. Bless you and your family.❤
HI From Ireland asked a guy 30s playing acoustic gig in a bar where I live if he knew Jordon Lightfoot ..if you read my mind...didn't think he knew it..he played it as I'm he knew it all his life....I ask if they request a song to be played...timeless song...
You sang and your album had made a big hit in 70era Singapore and we still listening your song repeatedly thru TH-cam. Arnold’s action pack series Fubar had your song to play along in episode 7. Thanks Mr Gordon.
When this song is playing there isn't another song in the world that I'd rather be listening to; there's very few songs I can say that about; it's a list that I keep very close to my heart. :-)
@@gordonmeredithlightfootlig8451 Been a fan since around 1970 when I first heard If you could read my mind as a 6 year old yet to be singer songwriter myself who is deeply influenced by your style :)
At 68 I always get emotional while listening to any of Gordon's songs. Just listen to the words. So true So calming. A story so beautifully told and wonderfully sung. What a great great story teller and performer.
The sound of your voice has always brought either a smile or a simple tear with each tone , it’s another day ,thank you Sir , your place in each and every soul has been found through your writings,of melodies that keep us looking up ,forward,,beyond , our own feelings this is you, Plase RIP .

RIP one of the greatest songwriters, and thanks.
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful and moving songs ever written.
I agree... thanks for your comment.
Yes it is.
I agree. I spent a lot of time learning to play this song. One of my favorites.
Your opinion is spot on.✌️
Yes it is 😊

I just heard him sing this for Canada Day 2020. Has really touched my soul.
And the love has not gone
Congratulation kids.
I hope that the "feeling is strong" still for you guys
Wow. Congrats on 50 years! God bless y'all!
He is the best. A song always in my heart.
There will never be another Gordon Lightfoot. He was truly an original. Unbelievable lyricist, incredible singer, and an exquisite human being. The world has suffered a terrible loss.
There has been no loss unless you choose to discount everything he has done. We live on in what we have done.
@@dlighted8861 excellent point I hadn’t realize that.
He will be missed. His music was timeless and so heartfelt. 😢
Well said. You forgot to mention he was an excellent guitar player as well ... especially his picking!
He once showed up drunk for a concert in LaCrosse, Wisconsin . He got booed off stage. Too bad because it could have been a great show
I love what he's done to this song, whereas his daughter pointed out that her parents divorce was not one sided, and Mr Lightfoot took ownership of his failures,and changed the lyrics to acknowledge his part.
May you rest in peace.
Gordon Lightfoot is the best! (like if you agree)

Makes me cry.
Pulls at the heart string every time
The melody was the theme music for the olympic games in Munich way back in1972.
RIP Mr. Lightfoot - this song is why I learned to play guitar 53 years ago
Rest in PEACE Mr. Lightfoot.......You brought the world such great music from your soul.......Thank You and now you can sing with the Angels.❤❤❤❤

Simply beautiful
Your so very right on this, he's one of the great ones in my book
He is a legion
@rwhdragonmaster So true! What a talent, on par with the late Dan Fogelberg.
Honestly, this might be my favorite song. Easily in my top ten.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot
If You Could Read My Mind is a timeless masterpiece, and one of the most magnificent and heartfelt love songs ever created.

Personal story of his divorce
That line always kills me: "I will never be set free as long as I'm a ghost you can't see". So much heartache in one small line........
+Seven Seas17 me too
