In honour of the great Canadian troubadour, on the day the news came out that that the festival he loved has sold out again this year, here's one for Mr Gordon Lightfoot. #GordonLightfootcover #IfYouCouldReadMyMind
There are just people out there who can effortlessly sing beautifully like a songbird. You are one of those people. Your voice is just lovely and soothing, and yet strong without being overpowering. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
@@jimdent351 wow I didn't know that Gordon Lightfoot was Canadian the only Canadian singer I am very familiar with is Celine Dion I have seen Celine Dion 3 times in Boston MA I am from Boston MA what part of Canada is Gordon Lightfoot from ?
Kailey Jane this is one of my favorite songs of all time 😭 this is absolutely beautiful you are amazing you have to either try out for The Voice , American Idol , or America's Got Talent that was absolutely flawless the other way I would describe it was simply magic in a bottle beautiful job well done America needs to hear you ❤ ❤❤
Beautiful guitar work and very resonant voice. I’’ve been playing “Rainy Day People” today and missing the time I saw Gordon Lightfoot perform in Providence, RI.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift. I'm 62 and music has saved my life literally. I see you recorded the Indigo Girls. I'm seeing them & Melissa Etheridge in August in Maine. Lifelong Fans of them both ! I definitely subscribed and hit that like button ✅ and all notifications are on ! 🤙🎸🎤
What a lovely comment, thank you very much for the listen and for taking the time to write such a kind comment!! Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge?? Now THAT would be a killer concert!! Enjoy!!
Thank you Ann! I love this one too and it was very important to me that I got it as "right" as I could, respecting the perfection of the original. Thanks for the listen and kind words!
Thank you! Thanks for the listen and for taking the time to leave a kind comment -- means a lot coming from someone who loved his music so much. Thanks.
Absolutely stunning! You have me weeping... Thank you for sharing! God has blessed you so much to communicate in song! I love seeing His creativity expressed in so many amazing people, like yourself! You blessed me today... Thank you! Thank you! Blessings! :)
Thank you for giving us your rendition of such a wonderful song. Gordon's words are forever etched in my mind - but I really enjoyed your cover. Thanks again.
Oh wow such a beautiful vocal and gentle wrestling with the neck of your guitar. So well delivered. Very nice very very nice. You shoukd be very proud girl.
Great job on this TIMELESS CLASSIC. Sundown is my favorite Gordan Lightfoot song, Carefree Highway is another great song. Refreshing to see a younger person appreciating Gordan. This was awsome....... Peace.....
A lovely remake of a terrific song! I have a memory of listening to this on the school bus headed home after the last day of my 6th grade. It was in the early 70s, on beautiful sunny afternoon, with the joyous eternity of a summer vacation stretching out before me. I was certain it would never end - ecstasy for a 6th grader! And the sadness and airiness of this song just intensified it.
This is my favourite Gordon Lightfoot song. I have been a huge fan of his since I was a kid growing up in Orillia. All I can say is Wow, wow, wow to your beautiful rendition. Your voice is so pure and lovely. Mr Lightfoot would have loved this. Thank you so much. You have an incredible gift, please keep sharing it. Are you from Owen Sound? Blessings to you
Sheila that's such a kind comment to leave -- thank you. I take this as a high compliment if you say you feel Mr Lightfoot would've liked this. I, too, am a big fan. I do live in Owen Sound, yes! I have been to Mariposa a few times, maybe someday I'll play it! Have a great day.
@@kaileyjanemusic I love when you go from the G to the Fmaj7 chord. Sounds so beautiful and I love your voice and vocal inflections. Give my tunes a listen "The Elusive Kenny Brown" .If I could read your mind ,you might like them. Cheers, KB Keep doing what you are doing ,you are great!🎸🎸🎤🎸.
@@kaileyjanemusic Thank you Kailey . Keep doing your beautiful singing and playing. In that song by Gordon Lightfoot the lines that really get to me are "I never thought I could feel this way but I got to say ,I just don't get it . I don't know where we went wrong but the feelings gone and I just can't get it back.".... Cheers,KB
I really like what you have done with this. I have played the song occasionally over the years, sticking very close to the original guitar arrangement, but was never really happy with it. Your simplified travis picking (sort of) arrangement is very appealing to me. Nice work. I might try this arrangement. ; )
Thank you! I am missing the tip of my right ring finger so can't pick "properly", but I've modified finger picking generally in a way that I thought sounded ok. I appreciate the listen and the kind words, thank you!
@@kaileyjanemusic Sorry to hear about your ring finger. I almost lost my right thumb in a table saw accident decades ago. Fortunately, I kept the thumb but am unable to grow a proper thumbnail. I don't really mind. I prefer the base notes to be less pronounced anyway. As you probably know, some fingerstyle players just don't use their ring finger and seem to get along fine. That seems to be the case with you.
