Great First Lines
JohnHavir
Do you have any favorite first lyric lines from some of Gord's songs which set
the tone for the entire song?
I thought about this after listening to my wife. I introduced her to Gord
(except she like Elvis and had no idea Early Morning Rain was a Gord song)
after we got married. She does not know the complete lyrics to many songs yet.
But she does know first lines of many.
5.) Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
4.) Rows of lights in a circle of steel Where you place your bets on a great
big wheel
3.) It's alright for some but not alright for me When the one that I'm lovin'
slips around
2.) I can see her lyin' back in her satin dress In a room where ya do what ya
don't confess
1.) The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they called
'Gitche Gumee'

Through the woodlands, through the valley, comes a horseman wild and
free.
Tilting at the windmills passing, who can the brave young horseman be?
Anyone who hears those lines, and CAN resist listening to what comes
next, needs to turn in their ears.

The first verse of this song is magical. It's like you have a canvas in
front of you. The first verse starts the painting, and the rest of the song
finishes it.

From "Wherefore and Why":
When I awoke this morning, something inside of me
Told me this would be my day.
Doug
Feeling the pain,
of love lost, running through my brain
The space shuttle ends, where the subway begins,
There's a tear on the face of the moon.
I think you had somebody waiting outside
in the rain, to take you away.
You got places to go,
you got people to see,
still I'm gonna miss you
but anyway.
You think you had the last laugh now
you know this can't be true,
even though the sun shines down upon you now
sometimes you must feel blue.
If you see my smile don't think I'm acting strange
I got my just reward for all my pains.
Just to recite a few. There are so many others which grab your
attention.....like the first line of a good novel is supposed to!!
Great thread. Another thing I noticed is some of us might group the phrasing a
little differently which could change the meaning in a way you hadn't
considered before.

Telekidd
my favorites, in setting up the tone and feel of the song...and yet it doesn't
give anything away. It sets a mood, within which the rest of the verses follow
beautifully.
Another would be "You've got time enough for two of us." That, to me, is just
a magical line, and when it's followed by "What is mine, I will share," well, I
was certainly hooked! You can read it as a love song, you can read it as a
friendship song...as with all of GL's best work, there are many layers to
it--and that opening line sets it up beautifully.
One more: "The lamp is burning low upon my table top." What more need be
said?
My apologies if I've duplicated other people's responses...I loved this idea of
this thread so much that I responded immediately, instead of being polite and
seeing what other people had written first! :)

Happily married now for 8 years now, but years ago when my girlfriend broke
my heart (returning to an ex-lover)... back when I just started
understanding Gordon Lightfoot's music... there were many first-choice first
lines:
I think I could write a song 'bout our whole relationship from GL's first
lines...
"The perfume that she wore was from some little store"
"Nothing is for certain, that's what the showman said"
"I remember everything"
"Was it someone she met that's so hard to forget"
"Looking at the rain, feeling the pain"
"Does the light of passion still burn bright"
"I remember when best friends were jealous lovers"
"I think you had somebody waiting outside in the rain to take you away"
"You said you were through with romance"
"Listen mister I won't waste your time"
"I'm on my way, got no time to waste"
The list is endless!!!

well ... comforting? Enlightening? Hopeful? Something more positive
than a requiem for love gone wrong, lovers passing in the night and all
that. But, still, I think maybe we all get Kendall's thrust. It's hard
enough to go through life without having poets point it out and rub our
faces in it. God (umm, sorry, "Gord") does have a way of doing that
from time to time.

How about: "Whatever you think of me, I'm still your friend, so

has so many incredible lines...
"Time has been wasting away, I can
see it go sailing on by as it slips through my fingers.
Time has been wasting away, you know time doesn't
Wait for nobody to find what they're after
It just keeps on rolling on down the deep canyons

I guess I'll be the one to mention this opening line, although I can't
believe it hasn't been listed already.
"If you could read my mind, love, what a tale my thoughts could tell."
IYCRMM is only the best folk/pop/rock/country/cross-over song in
history, IMHO.

IYCRMM was also the song that 'turned me on' to Gordon. I heard it on
the radio (in my University of Houston college days) and tried to
track down the album that it came from. Most record shops had no idea
what song I was talking about, but I finally found one that had an
opened copy of this album called "Sit Down Young Stranger". They sold
it to me at a discount, about $3 if I remember correctly, and I was
flabbergasted at the quality of the songs that were on that album.
And I still am.
It must have been a great experience to accompany your son as he sang
that song. My children will admit that Gordon is a massive talent,
but they haven't tried to perform anything of his yet.

applause at the end. I heard later that it made one of his ex-girlfriends
cry.
The first time I remember hearing IYCRMM was in the very early 70s. Gord was
on a TV show singing it, sitting on a stool with the spotlight on him. None
of the other members of the band were shown. Just Gord and his guitar,
although I could hear the others. I believe Anne Murray was also on this
show, but I'm not positive about that. Does anyone remember seeing this?
Both Mom and I were mesmerized by his performance.

I did not see that particular show, but as you are remembering Gord
and Anne Murray on the same show - and you live in Maine - is it
possible it was a Canadian TV station? Gord and Anne are both
institutions there.
I loved IYCRMM the first time I heard it, and learned to perform it
in short order. But the songs that hooked me - turned me into a
lifelong Lighthead - were CRT and Don Quixote.

It was definitely a Canadian broadcast. Back in the day, long before cable
hit Northern Maine, we used to watch CBC out of St. John, New Brunswick.
WCSJ, I think it was called. We had a choice of three stations, our local
CBS, NBC, ABC affiliate, CHSJ, and Maine PBS. We watched a lot of CBC.
This was a variety show, something along the lines of The Tommy Hunter Show.
It may have been that show, but I'm not sure. I just remember watching it
and thinking, "Wow! This Lightfoot character is really good!"
It took me years to figure out how to play IYCRMM. I remember trying to
figure out the G, Gadd9, Dm6/G progression, and I couldn't come up with
anything that sounded right. For years I couldn't play it. I only figured it
out about 6 or 7 years ago. Amazingly, it's pretty easy.

Yep, once you catch on to it, it is. I have always played it in A.
One of those songs that really challenged my fingerpicking skills, only
to find out years later I was hearing a combination of Gord and the lead
guitarist.

You actually play it in A with no capo, or do you mean you capo up two and
play it in G, like the majority of us do? I can't imagine playing it in any
other key.
I also combine a little of the lead, like the short bridge after the second
verse, and the ending.
Well, if Derek is around, I let him play the lead, just because he does such
a good job at it.

Yep, A - no capo. It lies very well to hand that way, and without
checking the recording, I think it was originally in A, but I'm not
positive. Hang on, I'm gonna check the recording.
It is in A major, yeah.

Yes, me too - gotta have that "trademark" of the accompaniment in

Yes, it's in the key of A. That I know for sure, but Gord capos it on the

these are also my favorites:
The lamp is burning low upon my tabletop.
The snow is softly falling
When it's midnight on the meadow, and the cats are in the shed,
And the river tells a story at the window by my bed
Oh the gist of it all is the first day of fall
