[Sydney Steve]

A really interesting interview , but (and this should be taken as more observational than as critical), I feel that songwriters have one thing in common. They won't let you know too much about their motivation behind any given song or what they really think or why they wrote them . They prefer to allow you to draw your own conclusions and if you analyse what they actually say when cross examined it is not actually all that much in terms of depth . They will let you get "Never Too Close" . It is across the board -it seems to be part of a song writer's psyche that they have to maintain a significant level of privacy . Specifically with Gord., whenever I see or hear an interview I always feel he lets you in on a very small percentage of the essence of what makes him tick. (And yes I understand that that is very much his perogative. ) For all that he pours out in his songs there seems to me to be a large part of him that we will never quite know.
