Hey, Silver Heels! I like your description there, but if you are in the lee of Christian Island you'll have to import the sea salt - it's in the wonderful fresh water of Lake Huron.....

Still a wonderful song and wonderful images.

So smartie pants there aint any salt but I refuse to let you destroy my fantasy - maybe I spilt some salt somehow ... http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

No problem about that sea salt, Silver Heels,

You've obviously recently been "all the way from Biscayne Bay for a dip in the shining sea", and "all the way back again." That is, if it's possible to sail that far up the St. Lawrence (I doubt it, but you're Welcome to Try).

You'll note that I also pictured myself in the lee of Christian Island, but I did not picture any female companionship on board. I pictured my "Beautiful" back on dry land (perhaps somewhat presumptive on my part). But any Gord fan, male or female, is obviously more than welcome to sail along, even if we have to split the bottle. I've got some Blackberry Wine when the whiskey runs out.



You're a real gentleman. Count me in, Cap'n.

OK guys, now I KNOW I was the first to recognize and thank Silver Heels for raising my pulse on her beautiful version of Christian I.(see "Gord In My Life" thread). And then 2Much & Co. bribes her with Blackberry Wine! Makes a guy wanna file a class action for the rest of us! (JK)
And Silver, you were right all along about the salt--don't these guys know you had to paddle the Pond with your Canary Yellow all the way to Georgian Bay? A real certified sailor! And I DO realize your brilliant four-liner was metaphorically laced; more than one cup runneth over that summer night.

Now for arguments sake I would want to be Sundown.I would love to take care when I came creeping around Gords back stairs.We all know Gord has a signifgant other so I would savour a few seconds, minutes hours with Gord.I would make tea and sit on the mattress on the floor and have him sing to me.With any luck,the sun would never go down on your frienship and we would rise each morning to greet the day with a warm heart and mellow mind

Silver Heels,

Hell, NOW I want to be the deck of that "good old boat"! Always loved heels, and SILVER ones.....help, me Lord, I've sinned again.

There WAS a warm wind last night and in my mind I was "walking on the shore, listen(ing) to the sea" ...

Char,
Can I please be the lady in the song "Affair on Eighth Avenue"? Can I --huh-- huh -- please?

LOL

"...The perfume that she wore was from some little store
from the down side of town....
.... Her long, flowing hair came softly undone
and it lay all around....
... Then she brushed it down as I stood by her side
in the warmth of her love.
.... Then our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
and she came through the doorway somewhere in the night ...."

(Okay, the lines aren't all necessarily in order, but THAT song pretty much says it all.)

http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Stay loose, eh?

LAMS

P.S. Char, did you know that there really WAS an Ann? And it was that Ann who is mentioned in "Carefree Highway."

------------------
"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."

Char's touchy on this one. lol (see prior debate)

I STILL wanna be the deck of "Silver Heels" as long as Silver Heels is onboard. Was told to "hit the sky" though, so...

My middle name is ANNE. Gord's lady is ANN. There wasn't any discrepancy. No touchiness here. There wasn't any debate. I mentioned I had misspelled my Ann by forgetting the "E". I think it was a Fredian slip or wishful thinking that I was ANN with no "E". LOL I figured there must have been an Ann - just as I'm pretty sure Betty was a girl he knew too.

If I may babble a little bit in between all of these great posts. MAN, you guys and gals are GOOD! Good Stuff!!!

I WAS the guy GL sings about in "It's Worth Believ'n". I WAS the guy in "Ordinary Man".

"There's a breeze from the shore and the waves overlap."

"And as I wander through the cities and the towns, I get so lonesome knowing you could be around."

I don't want to sound negative but those two songs among others, were me. I guess I liked them so much because they really hit home.

I can really relate to the line "I would break the threads away, so I could bleed some more", because that is what I used to do with "It's Worth Believ'n". The song reminded me of my past love. It took me a few years to get over that love, but with GL's music and some help from my friend ("another empty bottle, and another story to tell") things worked out. It was many years ago but I still love those songs. That is all in the past now, (thank God) and I have been happily married since 1977.

Somebody mentions about being the "Painter". I don't think I could go through all the things (failed relationships, etc.)GL went through in his life. I believe he had to go through that to become the artist that he is. I really don't know if I would want that.

sorry for stretching this,

Wes

Well, Wes,
If we're going to go there, then I guess "Endless Wire" was written for me. It is a perfect description of me.


"... I ain't got nothing to hide.
My life is an endless wire.
I got both feet on the ground.
I ain't got no one for hire.

I ain't got a thing to show.
My lives have all expired.
So don't go fooling around
And set my wheels afire.

Down in the dark of a burnt out soul
There's a few good second hand dreams...
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you.
Dark in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second-hand scenes...
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue where the sea runs green.

I ain't got nothing to give.
My life is an endless rhyme
My love's a paperback dream
I ain't got nothing but time.

I ain't got a thing to show.
I don't know my own name;
So don't go fooling around
and set my wheels aflame...."

Ironic how Gord manages to put us in touch with the deepest parts of ourselves, isn't it?

Stay loose, eh?

OK I have stayed away from this one but...I just want to be Gord the singer/songwriter/poet.
I can't sing (although I do).
I couldn't put two words together to describe how I feel to save my life.
I am not a musician.

I wouldn't want Gord's life though, just the talent and the admiration.

We can dream can't we?

Dan

Hey Dan, don't you think GL had to go through those tough times, relationships, etc., to make him the person he is?

Don't you think it has a lot to do with his songwriting?

"Thinking of the girls with their fingers in my curls"

Just perusing this thread for the first time, and ANNE, you have a lovely name (just like my wife!). When we were dating, I would listen to Carefree Highway and imagine the pain of losing my Anne.
Dan, I feel a lot like you do. I like a lot of pop music, but one of the reasons that I have always been drawn to Gord's music is that if I could be a musician, I would want to be just like him in terms of performance. Until I started reading these messages, I didn't have a very good idea about what Gord the person was really like. I am very happy to learn that he is considerate and not too full of himself.
Now, as to a character from a song: I like the central character from Crossroads.
"I've seen the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing
And on the still of a summer night I've heard the mountains ring.
In the good land, Iwas young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done!"

Well I guess I'd be "Bill" as in Long Thin Dawn:

Right now I'm on a highway just east of Omaha
Riding shotgun on the biggest rig you ever saw
With forty tons of pig iron and a trucker known as Bill
All the way to Windsor, we've got some miles to kill

And that long thin dawn
That long thin dawn
Is comin' on again
