I have been watching Trigger Happy TV recently on Channel 4 in England. Each week, a backing track comes on and by the power of the internet, I have found out that it is "if you could read my mind love" by a certain Gordon Lightfoot.
I have heard this song before but it is only now that I have realised its power: it is one of those rare songs that makes you stop and wonder what lifes all about. It touches and draws out a feeling of falibility. It makes me feel sad yet complete. This may sound like pretentious bullshit but sat here it is very difficult to convey the emotions that this song stirs. On Monday morning I will be straight down to the record shop to get this song and albeit belatedly, introduce myself to this great songwriter. The greatest song ever!!!
