Hey Mende, I know this one looked obvious, you got the ambig case believe it or not; I found it in a different intended song "Broken Dreams' ~gl, but, you of course got the obvious one that DUUUHH I forgot about.... me and the UA period are not best acquainted, and therin lies the other half of the game to go ! I better get REAL acquainted ..lol.. skip the rigamarole - anyone wishes to challenge the obvious ; go ahead, its position is correct on song.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
Q176 - ... a ghost ...
this might be too obvoius and be wrong: Song - IYCRMM lyric: (2x in song in this lyric example) If you could read my mind, love, What a tale my thoughts could tell. Just like an old time movie, About a ghost from a wishing well. and also in IYCRMM: And I will never be set free As long as I'm a ghost that you can't see. |

The fact that this group has been together as long as it has tells me people really like it here and enjoy each other very much. Good-natured ribbing is usually a very good sign! And Char, you do such a nice job moderating this feisty bunch! I hope to meet some of you along the way as some recent concert-goers have on the west coast. Regarding your comment on the life of any particular thread, I think this one will go on for quite a long while. I, for one, am enjoying it! If mine winds up on "Corfid's floor" that's ok....a short-lived thread is not a bad thing:) Now then, yesterday I received a copy of "Beautiful, the Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot" CD I ordered online last week. I'm off to pop it in my CD player....anxious to hear new renditions on some very fine classics. Thanks Geo Steve. And thanks to all for the warm welcome. Linda |
Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
Oh yeah, I forgot about Q179 "And roses..." My immediate reaction was Pussywillows, Cattails. But then I quickly realized that doesn't quite meet the dot rules. For it to work, it would have to be "...and roses..." right Geo Steve?
Then later this afternoon while admiring the gorgeous fall colors here in southeast Michigan I started thinking about spring, and tulips (my fave flower). For some reason I recalled observing how early they sprang up in New York City when I lived just outside the city limits about ten years ago. As I thought about the contrast of soft flowers against the concrete backdrop I thought about, of all things, roses! Which led me to... Cold Hands from New York. Children ran and children played And roses grew in alleyways~GL |

Thank you for all the kind words and thoughts. But, I think you are underestimating, in humility, the longevity potential for your thread. As I mentioned in my Nebulous Award-Winning part 2 of 3, your intrinsic re-invent concept on demand is your ace-in -sleeve to longevity. This thread, on the otherhand, despite ppl enjoying some general conversation more, which I like, has a built-in ending - all the songs....in theory...it should at some point, when all 300+/- songs + a new (thanks to Menda )category I had not consideed - Unreleased and Publisher's Songs yet to go. But it still has a built in limitation, all the songs, plus talk and some duplication that has occurred allready - due primarily to me thinking of clues of the top of my head - and what do I hear ? My favourites ! I am forceably - oh ! twist my arm - not ..lol..trying to cram the others by doing a listening marathon that you, Char, myself, and about 3 others have commented on in a favourable way - as in I'm glad I did it anyway - game or not - and "I hear songs in a whole new way now" - and variations,. I hear that now, several times from others, as you mentioned. Good thoughts to plow forward with,thanks ! Your thread is great ! We could be mistakenly accused of being the 2 stores next door 2 each other forming both the Chamber of Commerce, and the Mutual Admiration Society,...lol... but I am sincere in what I say - yours has a lasting play to make whenever u need - shift themes ! They love it ! I can tell.... They come in here like a comfortable pair of shoes now...which isi nice, and enjoyable,.... but the shoes...are gonna wear out !. Yours, however, have replaceable souls and uppers ! Great concept !. But remember to spray them like bowling shoes, or.. yechh ! lol.....j/k. And remember who the little ppl are.... I can say I knew you when you PLAYED IN HERE AND BING ! YOU HAD THE IDEA ...IN HERE.... BY YOUR STAR ON THE SIDEALK OUTSIDE THE THREAD..LOL..... tHANK lINDA - Have fun in there . I'll keep paying visits, and I will try to stop telling my mini novels ! Later - & kudos for just getting thru the 23,000 character 3 threads - current reviews pouring in like "23,000 characters - and all well -developed characterizations - believable words and commas ! We even start to like the mis-spelled words, they are typed with such... such poignant Welshmerttz ! lol okok enuff :biggrin::clap::headbang: |

Linda - corect on the dots rule and your correctly ruling out Pussywillows, Cattails. for that reason. Linda, not only an astute observation that led you away from a Gong, but steered you to, in short, the song . That rhymed, and I did not know I had iambic pentameter , I better see the doctor. :biggrin: BTW - very picturasque description of SE Michigan Autumn, and Tulips,both THERE and IN NY, as I read it ? , the stark backdrop of concrete with tulips is pretty strong imagery, I can see why you like much of Lightfoots imagery-based lyrics... I like the evergreens and mountains, snow, and blue-sky imagery in nature in his lyrics - I can smell the pines, feel the wind, and bask in the snow-caps imagery on a hot summer day. And you know, there is, all joking aside, nothing feminine or masculine per se about nature at all, that is something I have never heard discussed B4 in here, tho it probably has, that of his lyrics,when prosaic ,i.e. Roses and dewdrops, etc., only a man who is lacking in self-confidance would IMO be intimidated by that. Gord is definately , from a man's point of view, by no means feminine, and he is not intimidated to write about well, pretty things in nature.. I admire that. Hmm.. Had not thought of that... Did I read your visuals right ? You imagined roses against the stark backdrop of the concrete .. was it a 7 bag mix ? Or smoother ? Troweled, or broomed anti-slip ? Expansion.

Why are all cornucopias 'Veritable' ? - Did the Pilgrims have early buggy and cart-chasing attorneys ? lol. Since these were brought to at leasr rudimentary recorded level for Producer's discussions for an "album's" = 8 - 11 songs in LP days, and oddly still 8 - 17 + for a CD, we ought to all write EMP and implore of them at Rhino or Lines or Evven an Indie Lightfoot Label - Since he is admirably "A Painter Passing Through" - (the underground) - why not start his own Indie Label, now that his contractual obligations are met with Warner and affiliates ? Perhaps there is on in herant culpability with Indie Labels and deep pockets, notunlike needing the protection of a LLC, or a broader corporate liability umbrella - I suspect that is it. I sincerely doubt any perception of Prestige lost is outside of Lightfoot's personal needs, I'd guess. Then again, is that what Linus on Harmony was? Is it an Indie ?
