It's a great song.

I only know about this song thanks to a past secret about it on F!S. I love the melody. :)

I like some of his songs but I don't think I've ever listened to this one.

It's pretty much piped in to every birthing suite in Canada, ok? He's a national hero. A global hero. He's the goddamned Gord and you all need to respect. YouTube it yesterday.

I love that song.

And I always listen to really sad songs when I'm sad so I get it.

Why is this a secret?

I love this song too.

There's no shame in liking this song as it's a great song that gets you right in the feels when you need it. Well it does for me at least.

wow, a Gordon lightfoot secret!!!

GORDON LIGHTFOOT IS MY JAM

GODDAMN THIS SONG, YES
HOW ABOUT SOME HISTORY, SON
THE LEGEND LIVES ON FROM THE CHIPPEWA ON DOWN
OF THE BIG LAKE THEY CALL GITCHE GUMEE
THE LAKE IT IS SAID NEVER GIVES UP HER DEAD
WHEN THE SKIES OF NOVEMBER TURN GLOOMY

HOW ABOUT SOME TRAGIC FACTS
HOW ABOUT LOOKING UP ON YOUTUBE WHEN THEY WENT UNDERWATER AND FOUND THE SHIP DOWN THERE
HOW ABOUT BEING INSPIRED TO LEARN FROM MUSIC
HOW ABOUT THAT SWEET ASS MELODY
UNF
MY JAM

I respect that you for respecting the Gord. For Canadians everywhere, he is a god damned national hero.

Or, respect you for respecting, even. I can type sentences, I swear.

What are you even trying to do here? Is this some sort of performance art? You aren't a performer, or an artist. You know that.

DA

I like it. I don't understand it, but I like it. Keep on keeping on, Chard.

If you like this, dig around in science fiction fandom for a filk song titled "the Ballad of Apollo 13". It's set to the music for this and will get you in the same way.

Thanks for the rec! I found it on YouTube, and was pleased to hear that it was Julia Ecklar singing, she has a lovely voice. Wouldn't mind being able to find a better version to download.

It's a really good song! I wouldn't listen to it to cheer up, though. It's kind of depressing if I listen to it at the wrong time.

It always reminds me of the Weezer song Heart Songs now.

"...Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank in the lake at the break of the morn..."

It has a very catchy melody too!

I think I've loved everything of GL's that I've ever heard.

No shame in it; it's a great song.

Late, but....holy gods, i love this song.
So much.

It's a terrific song.

I love old Gordy. "If You Could Read My Mind" is one of my fave songs ever. Even with the string orchestration that strikes partway through.

I love this song O_O I listen to it when I'm sad, too.
