Sit Down Young Stranger, ©1970 by Gordon Lightfoot
I read your analysis of sit down young stranger and I love it. I always thought of this song as on`e of lightfoots deepest ones because they were very blue and tender. But again I just about love all his songs. I mean just about all of them.
I think Gordon is not pro war. I think canada is not pro war. And he to me represents canadian spirit. by the way I am not canadian but like most of the canadian rock and folk singers.
I also thnk by virtue of the fact that Gordon mentioned Jesus as the symbol for peace and forgiveness tells me a lot about who Gordon is and what he realy stands for.
I love Gord. And I thank you for your analysis of GORDS SONGS.
