The day Gordon Lightfoot passed, I listened to this song omw home from work. Cruising along in my truck, windows down after a hard day's work. I almost started crying, because it hit me how much I really loved this song and the fact that the man who wrote/sang it was gone forever. But then I realized his music will live forever, and I was feeling no pain.

On June 3rd 1973 I was watching McCloud on tv and this song was playing in the back ground, My Aunt came over and informed me that my Daddy had died of a heart attack. Ever since this has been one of my favorite songs. I was 13 years old , Gords Gold was the first album I ever bought.

@@cyninbend You have to understand, that this isn't the same man from 1974. Alcoholism and smoking really took a toll on his voice. Alcoholism plagued him up until '82, and he only quit smoking last year, and that's had quite a few repercussions for his singing. I acknowledge you might not like this version, but hey, I find it cool he's still doing what he loves, despite such drastic changes!

This song has helped me get through a lot of hard times including the death of my mom whom I miss very much and my dad, but also gave me so many great memories of my youth as well.

I love this guy. Great songwriter. In the early eighties I was in the Boy Scouts and we went to Canada. I was very young. 2 memories stand out among many great ones. While standing on the shore of one of the lakes, cannot remember which I thought this is not a lake it is an Ocean. 2 The scout leaders were all in a flurry around this one guy, taking pics, getting autographs, like school girls. I said what's going on? That guy is Gordon Lightfoot. Did not know the name or the songs they said. Wish I did. When one scout master died he was buried with a pic of him and Gordon. I looked and said OMG it was him. I just remember a kind , patient humble man strolling the shore like an ordinary guy. Man if I only knew. I could have gotten a pic and autograph. Was just too young. But technically I DID meet him. lol.

Hey, I was just going through a Gordon Lightfoot phase recently. My dad (who worked on the boats in Lake Erie) said he knew some of the guys who died on the Edmund Fitzgerald, and he had the 45 of that song (he didn't own many records). Spookily, I kept hearing it or covers of it right after he died. Sundown, Carefree Highway some of my favorites. Makes me feel like an honorary Canadian!
