Heres mine its for those of us who in 70's thought talk of love and freedom would win over those who wanted war we were dreamers this is about those of us who meet in the Sad Cafe
Out in the shiny night, the rain Was softly falling The tracks that ran down the boulevard had All been washed away
Out of the silver light, the past came softly calling And I remember the times we spent Inside the sad cafe
Yep, I am a folk music lover and country music resonate with it I like allot.
I recommend an early album called "If you could read my mind" which originally was titled, "Sit down Young stranger," which is his far and above best anti- war song. The song on divorce made the charts and took the album's title from a better song, so it goes.
But the reason I mention it is it is a really unusually good album that remains a favorite of mine. And my first copy I got from the store had the original title as I bought it as a new work.
I am a long time fan of Gordon Lightfoot's work and singing. I saw him here in Eugene the summer of 2007 and I am glad he is still with us. He is a human treasure, a singer songwriter extraordinare.
The above embed is from that album, and the one below is that Vietnam war era anti-war song.
what a gorgeous video. i love lavender. plum/purple and all its variations is my favorite color. in fact, i don't allow my landscaper to plant any other color flowering shrubs in my yard.
