Gordon is one of our Canadian treasures. This song is the story of the breakup of his marriage. He has written more than 250 songs. Bob Dylan called him one of his favourite songwriters. His songs have been covered by many artists, including Dylan, Streisand, Johnny Cash and many more.
As an American I'd like say thanks for Gordon and countless other gifted Canadian artists.
David Foster is another gifted Canadian songwriter, musician and singer.
Seen him live a dozen times here in Detroit. One of the greats we're blessed with. Even in his 80's, He puts on a great show.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the line 'as long as I'm a ghost that you can not see', it's a sad moment but well written
His voice is so warm and amazing... RIP sir...
His lyrics paint such evocative imagery. When he says, “heroes often fail.” Wow.
I read that Gordon Lightfoot wrote the song while he was in the middle of a divorce with his wife. Knowing that, it is more than a great song, it becomes one I can really feel his story.
Gordon was one of the world's best singing poets, a troubadour so to speak....an amazing artist that I can say I have seen perform this song in person
Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian folk singer who has been singing since the 1950’s. This song always makes me want to cry. It’s so sad and I feel his pain having lost his true love. When you listen to his songs you will hear that same sadness throughout them in one way or another. He is a national treasure to us here in Canada. You can also listen to Burton Cummings and the Guess Who…most of the band members grew up here in Winnipeg and so I can here that distinctive Winnipeg sound in the band. Awesome video…Blessings 😘❤️✝️🇨🇦
She is very expressive.
Gordon Lightfoot, good Canadian boy.
It's so nice to listen once again to this perfect song. We are still grieving his passing and will never get tired of hearing him. Check out his early music. My favourite is The Last Time I Saw Her.
'Beautiful' is a romantic song from Gordon. Another is 'Softly She Comes' lovely romantic song. I saw him when he was young and I was young in 1969 in a coffee shop basement in Toronto. He was yet to be famous but captivating the audiences right from the start. Great reaction.
Thanks alot for your detailed comment.
I saw him once live in Portland ME. a long time ago..'70's? Probably. Wonderful show and a great band as well.
Listening to this after learning of his passing. One of the greats we have lost. 😢
A masterpiece of songwriting.
You are right, his voice touches the soul...R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.Thank you!
His song Beautiful is one of the most romantic songsEVER.
I love how most women react when they first hear Gordon's voice :-)
Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian legend & one of the best singer songwriters. He has had many hits through his long career such as "Early Morning Rain", "Steel Rail Blues", "Ribbon Of Darkness", "Sundown", "Carefree Highway", "Rainy Day People", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", "Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" & many more.
Thanks for your recommendations.
Gordon Lightfoot also wrote a song called The Canadian Railroad Trilogy. It's long, but epic. It was commissioned by the government funded Canadian Broadcast Corporation to commemorate Canada's 100th Anniversary in 1967. The arrangement done by Gord are incredible and of course the lyrics really tell a story.
Gordon Lightfoot Is a Canadian legend like Joni Mitchell, Neil Young. They all are amazing
You should listen to Gordon Lightfoot “Beautiful” pardon the pun but it’s a beautiful song. I remember about 25 years ago someone asked me to sing this song
As a proud Canadian I cannot begin to tell you how much this man's music has meant to me and my family. I saw him several times at Massey Hall in Toronto and he was such a wonderfully creative performer and wordsmith and always left the stage leaving us all more fulfilled.
I hadn't seen him perform for many years but for my 65th birthday my two sons and beautiful daughter's-in-law treated me to another Lightfoot performance. He was in his late 70's at that point and he'd definitely lost a step or two and his voice didn't have the full register and rich timbre of his younger days but it was a wonderful moment for me and my family. He was a titan of the music industry, a true troubadour, a master storyteller and I'm so thankful I've been able to enjoy his music for 6 decades. Thank you young lady for this lovely, thoughtful and heartfelt reaction, you just earned yourself another subscriber. RIP Gordie. Cheers from Ontario, Canada!
Hi OGO. The song is autobiographical. Gordon's marriage was falling apart. He tried and tried to understand why his wife had turned away from their marriage, She never said and he couldn't read her mind. The feelings he couldn't get back were the feelings of his wife towards him. They did end up getting divorced. You are looking as beautiful as always. Take care Dear friend, RNB
Thanks alot my dear friend.
@@ogotainment My pleasure Hun!!
You've done it now...DEEP and meaningful lyrics from the master...Enjoy!
Well done to you for letting the song speak for itself without the usual interuptions that sometime comes with these gigs. Slainte.
beautiful reaction. he waa my late brothers fav. when gordon died last week it felt like i lost another part of my brother
Beautiful reaction, young lady. 😎💕❤
Gordon is a world treasure, so said Bob Dylan who presented Gordon with the Canadian equivalent of a life achievement musical award. That says it all!
I loved watching your face enjoying the beauty of this Masterpiece
Song was old when I was a teen but got me through my first high school heartache. Still pulls tears from me. Thanks for experiencing it! Instant subscribe
!
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is one of his most famous. Gordon Lightfoot was a great story teller. If I were to get bad news, let Gordon give it to me, he sounds like he really cares.
Ogo, I just love your reactions you are truly a beautiful soul ❤️☮️🤟
Thanks so much my dear friend.
You could do 2 hours of Gordon Lightfoot songs and not find a bad one.
Now Mr. Lightfoot's gone, sadly, but his music will always be with us.
Wonderful reaction ❤️
Gordon was one of the best.
Here is another video of the same song. It’s set in a castle, I imagine somewhere in Scotland? It’s so beautifully done. It’s really worth watching. I hope you enjoy it. czcams.com/video/W2Yb7npqS6I/video.html
I a later song Gordon alludes to this one.
"I dont want to own the key to some ghostly mansion where souls are set free"
One beautiful song. His voice was amazing.
❤❤❤
A master story teller

RIP Gordon Lightfoot. May 1 2023.
You should check out another song of his "Circle of Steel" vocals and instrumentation are top notch!
Anything but the three “hits” most people react to. He has so many great songs.
@@Axeman517 Agreed, its hard for me to pick a favorite of his!
You should listen to the wreck of the EdmundFitzgerald it's a masterpiece about a true story about a ship wreck
I really enjoyed tour reaction - thank you.
Thanks alot for watching.
Gordon was actually playing a guitar not a piano
The song Gordon wrote was about his failed marriage to his wife
Try listening to his other magical song called ( Sundown )
