I wont ask if you ever get Gordon Lightfoot songs stuck in your head because if you didn't,you wouldn't be a fan! :)

Putting aside,"Sundown","Wreck","IYCRMM" and "Carefree Highway" (we've all had those stuck in our head) what songs of his have recently played on the radio in your mind?

Right now,"End Of All Time" is playing in there but it's strange that it is. I haven't listened to "Harmony" in a coupl-a months! Maybe that means I should listen?

In the past few months,Sixteen Miles To Seven Lakes,"Wild Strawberries","Rainy Day People","Endless Wire" and "I'll Do Anything" have all had me singing along. ;)


Til next time,later! :cool:

Endless Wire for me, Borderstone.

Morning Glory, for a huge part of the day.

The instrumental part of Sweet Guinevere is one of the things that gets in my head all the time. It sounds "cute" somehow.

I am always having "Only Love Would Know" in my head lately. That one is SO hard to get out of my head.

I think of some parts of "The Last Time I Saw Her" at least once a day.

I woke up this morning at about 5:30 (why I don't know) and Shellfish was what was in my head...still is at 8:30!
I listened to Harmony CD several times last night while surfing the net.

I get Endless Wire stuck in my head a lot as well, actually.

In fact, if I'm alone, I will quite often find myself singing "down in the dark of a beat out soul there's a few good second hand dreams...", if I'm just wanting to sing something.

Strange, right? :)

Right now, it's Stationmaster. There's an ever-changing rotation that I get obsessed with for a couple of days at a time :)

Speaking of Stationmaster, where is he???

Well,it's Sunday and today's "head-bangers" :D ) are "Let It Ride" and "I Can See It In Your Eyes". At times they seem to gel together which can be a bit annoying,like my brain can't make a choice! Grrrr! :eek:

As for Stationmaster,he hasn't been here since May,after he made his big move at the conclusion of the "Picture that song" game. I miss doing that. :( It was fun...quite a stumper. ;)

Okay,for some reason "Spin-Spin" just entered in up there! :) I bettr go or I'll post every tune that happens to "pop in". :cool: Later!

"Let it Ride" . I love the, how is it described on the liner notes..."tape delay hi-hat and tambourine." And "You Just Gotta Be" for the lawn sprinkler sound in the background.
From "East of Midnight."
"Whispers of the North" too.

At the moment, East of Midnight.

Today's special in my mind,"Shadows!" :) The "Live In Reno" version at that. :cool: Of course,I just watched it again Sunday night,so it's a wonder all the songs aren't in my head! ;)

Sundown

Today is a very unusual day...I don't have any GL songs stuck in my head today :eek:

There are several GL songs that are constantly getting stuck in my head, including:
"Now and Then"
"10 Degrees and Getting Colder"
"Go My Way"
"Love & Maple Syrup"
"On Susan's Floor"
"Too Late for Prayin'"
"Dreamland"
"Endless Wire" (The chorus plays in my head relentlessly--good thing I love this song)
"Hey You"
"I'll Do Anything"
"She's Not the Same"
"Romance"
Lately, "Romance" has been the one stuck in my head. I would say "Endless Wire" is without a doubt the song that gets stuck in my head the most frequently.

I have that Vonage jingle in my head for 3 months. uuuuuuu-uuuuu-u-u-

Since we started talking about the "Shadows" LP "guess" :D which song wont go away now! :) (Not that I want it too! ;) )

"Waiting for You" has given me no peace. Much as I like the concept (to quote the Man) of "making babies up in the north country ". Trouble is while it is great fun making 'em , one day they turn into teenagers and aaaaahhhh! You have my life in 2005! (lol)

Whispers of the North and Gotta Get Away

at the moment,all the lovely ladies.

That's been in my head for the past four days!

Wild Strawberries

For some reason, "Whisper My Name" has been going through my head the past few days. ;)

Because I listened to one of my home-made Lightfoot tapes the other day,"Forgive Me Lord" has been hanging in there forthe last 48 hours! :)

"Dream Street Rose" is often there. "Whisper My Name" slips in there too.

Waiting for You also popped into my head today

Sometimes Cobwebs and Dust gets in my mind and stays there like a nursery rhyme. I rather like it that way. :)

It's in there right now! ...and most likely will be for the rest of the month..."The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald" :eek: ;)

Just last week it was,"Why Should I feel Blue?" :)

Probably because it was the first song he played when I saw him in Reno in September (which was the first time I've seen him live), it's "Never Too Close".

He opened with "Wreck"? ...or are you saying he opened with "Why" (?)

I've had the song "Christian Island" in my head since the trip to Split Rock last Thursday. It so captured the mood as we drove along the lake shore, and is such a happy song. I've been singing it to myself for days and it keeps me smiling.

Mouse
"and I like the mood I'm in...."

I'm posting this today because "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" has so far played through,no less than ten times in my head today!! :eek:

This is one that has never been stuck in my mind but for some reason it's there. :confused:

Just have to wait until the next song chimes in. :cool:

"Highway Songs" gets stuck in my head quite frequently. It's the type of song that could last for 10 minutes, and I would still say at the end, "What, it's over?!!"

Lazy Morinin' is common to get stuck there in the morning. Hi'Way Songs in the evening, especially when I "walk my own sod..."

"When I stand on my own sod it feels so good to be home, by God
The winter wind has turned my head but I always came up warm somehow"

When I first saw this topic I thought so he was talking about me.

A lot of the Harmony songs get stuck in my head, even though I don't play that album all the time. 'Fading Away' gets stuck too, as well as 'Blackberry Wine, Hi'Way Songs, Circle Of Steel,' and many others.

F.A.;....I'd never do a negative topic about anybody here! ;)

Although I'm not big on the song,"Blackberry Wine" today! :eek:

Ordinary Man & Always On the Bright Side

For some unseasonable reason, "Summer Side of Life." Never could figure out why that wasn't one of his major hits. That mofo rocks!

Whenever I hear a MUZAK version of a Lightfoot tune I find myself "smiling in pain". I quickly try to cleans my cerebellum, cerebrum, mendulla oblungata or whatever that gray stuff that pours out of every CSI's cranium.

This can only be done by by burning 'sweet grass' and chanting "Gord" while sitting cross-legged in front of your favorite audio reproduction device and playing the appropriate tune.

One that I never hear in public, and is not penned by Gord is "Fairwell to Nova Scotia". What an "ear worm" that one is!

Oh, no....it's starting already!

Stuck in my mind…. This weekend it’s been If Children Had Wings, On the High Seas, and Your Love’s Return. Since putting down my guitar yesterday evening, after playing a few, I have to add, Second Cup of Coffee, Too Late for Prayin’ and Tattoo. Bits and pieces, sometimes large chunks, of them all just sort of flash through the head now and then. I’m sure the shuffle will change in a couple of days, and my mind’s juke box will refresh and pay for some new tunes. “If old Dan could see us now I know he’d be so proud.”
