- "Lets get specific here. All good song writers compress. These lyrics are as good an illustration of compression as any that can be cited that might be written by any song writer. It is this beauty, this talent that we pay homage to when we discuss song writers such as Gordon Lightfoot" -

The best example of 'decompression' that comes to my mind is the 'poem' included with the "Summertime Dream" album.
