I'm really grateful to Lightfoot for the dark hours where I've listened to his recordings and just wandered in his storytelling. I find it interesting that 'Pride of Man' came up because the lyrics of it often come to me. I've never heard anyone else sing it and I suspect they wouldn't be able to displace Gord's voice or sincerity.

He's a rare talent and I imagine a rare soul.

I can't think of another song as long as his railroad trilogy that I willingly listen to over and over.

He makes music that you want to share. It fills you up while giving you a story to tell, or perhaps puts your own life in a new light.


If you ever read this, Thank you Gord.

nice thread
