Re: One single line of lyrics makes the song much better
Gord is so poetic and expressive, which is why I think he is the best composer in the world:
The song "Protocol" in my opinion might be one of Gord's most overlooked songs with very powerful lyrical force
Protocol:
"Was God in town for the Roman games, Was he there when the deals were signed?"
From the Fitz where Gord expresses tangible thoughts in an incredibly poetic way:
"...Superior sings in the rooms of her ice water mansion"
From Old Dan's Records where he captures the magic of a special family event:
"High above the fireplace, there's a smile on old Dan's face"
From Seven Island Suite, although I've known this song since it came out on the Sundown album, it connected to my heart in a powerful new way after 9-11:
"Every nation's gonna be shaken, put it together, don't let it slip"
There are so, so many more, but I'll leave it there for now.
