Gordon Lightfoot - Inspiration Lady

[hochbob]

The poet laureat of our time. There are none better.

[2dogsaf]

there are so many masterpieces by Gordon,most will never be heard by most people.what a shame most young folks today may never hear him at all

[jbdmed]

Thanks for posting!!! I've been a G L fan since I first heard him in 1967... This is new to me and for me as good as anything he's done

[wheelchairmommy]

I was in the hospital the same time he was. we had the same surgeon, the one who saved his life. i only saw him once while there.

[GrubSlayer]

He's "The Great One" of folk music, and an honor to listen to, says this American:)

[windbreaker57]

The sole and inimitable Gordon Lightfoot! You'll always be the best for me.

[foneBro]

the song will always be heard by the people who care most.

[elianerizk5]

"she's my inspiration lady, soft sad situation lady, sees my situation every day. "

beautiful song

[daysleeper236]

Beautiful video, beautiful song.

[finallykickinback]

Sweet

[SilverBen54]

i love this song an video glad to see gord have some new songs they rule like all his songs do

[2dogsaf]

great piece.first time I've heard it. I've been folowing Lightfoot since If you could read my mind first came out.I wish Croce had lived.Gordon was his idol.They might have done great things together

[Brockstarone]

Lightfoot will live forever, one of the finest poets, musicians ever, seen him at Massey Hall every year. Could listen to hiim all day long.

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

I have to order another copy of the Harmony album because my old one has become all scuffed up. :(

[tyme4mike]

To the eight people who gave this a thumbs down..I cordially invite you to go fuck yourselves.

[richfeelgood]

Gordon never let's us down. He is the BEST songwriter hands down.

[ChazKidder63]

Gordon is a timeless wonder!! I don't care how long he's been around, you either love his music, or you don't. I'm one of the former, loved his music since I first heard him back in the early 70s

[delorme42]

This sone is absolutely beautiful! When was it written or recorded?

[GeneralSirDouglasMcA]

@delorme42

Not sure exactly when it was written, but it came out in 2004 on the Harmony album.

[vocalist1952]

This is pure class, a beautiful tapestry of sincerity and emotion sung by one of the worlds foremost balladeers. What a talent.

[MsNGrainger]

This was such a fun video to film too :)

[wheelchairmommy]

I was in the hospital the same time he was a few years ago. we both had the same surgeon...sitting in the waiting room..i knew it was Gordon! but, he was a patient,,,just like me

[4cuerdasexcessa]

My Susie Is my Angel

[bigyve]

if your going through a heart break and your listening to this for the first time your in trouble, its very infectious, fantastic song.

[petedist]

Isn't a shame that a song like this never gets any radio airplay or recognition? Most people will never hear it. Sad.

[friendswithpain]

Yes, it's actually nauseating. It's because those who are Rolling Stone/Billboard wannabe washed up pushers of (C)Rap and Flip Flop have some kind of twisted view that they know something about music.

Screw airplay. Gord has REAL fans that know REAL music and to allow those arrogant narcisstic bastards in the 'music world' to even touch a masterpiece of Gord's would be an insult to his skill and position as the world's greatest troubador and the finest lyricist ever.

[MacHamish]

First time I have ever heard it.

[PFLAIR70151999]

ICON!!!!

[airdriver]

Gordon still has it. Remember that, kids. God given talent never dies.

[waltzingthrulife]

especially LOVE the end when he (and I hope it is his hand) holds this little baby's foot in his guitar playing hand... :) So sweet. Hope the people in this video are real life folks that have inspired this song... Just lovely!

[Ottawarocket]

Beautiful Lightfoot tune ..Makes me think of my Lady Paula ..who I will love till the end of time and has always been an inspiration to me

Rocket

[imafishgod]

Loving the spiritual inspiration that has come from trust & believing in one another.. I love this & You, my beautiful , beautiful man.

Paula ♥

[Poetlad53]

Every tune this man writes has an authenticity I can't find anywhere else...this video is so touching and profound....the song is like the characters in the video....inspired...true to life....like ballet dancers perhouetting across the stage of life...

[Poetlad53]

Beautiful, artistic, understated, touching just like Gordon's music...

[stevemcqueen909]

this is truely one of gord's best songs. a real songwriter indeed

[29obbie29]

GGGGOOOORRRRDDDDIIIIEEEEEE!!!!­! Love ya. No homo.

[stellaa6]

el mas grande de todos

[dexster50]

Brilliant! Brilliant! This blokes lyrics certainly touch on the emotions. Gordon you are up there with the very best.

[boelchen]

gordie 4 ever! i love him

[chad818ched]

Great voice - gets better with time!

[adontebos]

just 1 word fantastic

[Pictor100]

This is classic Lightfoot.

[swiftjeff]

What I love most about Gord's music, it is simple. Doesn't use a bunch of mind clogging bg instruments to distract the listener from the poor quality. Gordon Lightfoot makes QUALITY music. Every song has a true and deep meaning.

[winterdreams80]

The magic of Gordon Lightfoot lives on ! This song is simply amazing !!!

[swiftjeff]

I watched it twice

[MarthaMartian]

All ladies of all ages are inspirational. Go Gordon.

[Wahleva]

A wonderful video, a wonderful song, a wonderful man!

[faustus999]

lovely song from one of the greatest singer/songwriters...

[weeeeoooow]

great song writer, up there with Townes van Zandt...they dont write em like this any more!!

[the2ofme]

finest lyricist and guitar picker this world has ever seen..his "Inspiration Lady" is his present wife who has long forgiven him for his errors..as we should all try doing once in a while..he's a friend and acquaintance of mine and I'd truly appreciate it if you showed the decency to remove this comment..almost 50 years he's dedicated his life to his fans and to the craft..he deserves more than this disrespectful comment you somehow felt you had the sickening right to put up here..shame on you..

[ufelcher]

have the two of you formed a partnership that you may buy your drugs in bulk?

[kmurphy45]

Trying to figure out what sewer you climbed out of.

[theARTISTafc]

In the 1970's I went to a GL concert in Portland, OR and this video is better, WOW!

[EddyDuhan]

Beautiful song!

[mixndrink569]

Love Gordon, and just when you think a great artist might just live off his past and not write anything more inspiring and poignant a song like this came out and it was like wow, all over again. It just shows that a pure artist like Gordon is always searching. This song is just beautiful.

[faustus999]

what a beutiful song this is. gordon has recorded so many great songs.

[MPTHEBRO]

how do you thank someone who has dedicated their life..to making others live easier through exquisite music and heart touching lyricism?.."Thank You" seems so pathetic..yet knowing Gord as I do..it is enough for him..so Gord..Thank You..your friend forever, Mike

[kozseluham]

Just like the song your comment brought a tear to my eye

[vocalist1952]

Spellbinding. True sentiment weaved into a beautiful song.

[raywode]

Long live Gordon Lightfoot.

[wylie222222]

makes me want to hug my wife every time i hear it...and then some...thanks for the gift gordon

[charlyspaceargentina]

I am an admirer of Gordon nro 1 in Argentina. His music has inspired me and I have always recommended ... This video shows that the sacred fire is kept ... Thanks Gordon !!!!!!!

[belovedwarrior68]

God bless you Gordon; its too bad you ever had to be connected with that witch over Belushi's death. Your seed remains...that is of God- your heart is gold, and will be cherished by the Lord. For me, the earth is better because of you, seriously. I'll see you when we get home brother; you'll know them by their fruit.

[charlyspaceargentina]

I am an admirer of Gordon nro 1 in Argentina. His music has inspired me and I have always recommended ... This video shows that the sacred fire is kept ... Thanks Gordon !!!!!!!

[BlintVidz]

The Gord never sounded better

[MaryPinkHair]

Inspiring! A new word for my vocabulary. lol (Breath takingly beautiful would have been good enough for me.) Thanks for sharing your inspiration, Mr. Lightfoot. For me it is about peace. We all need to get along, don't we? We need to be good boys and girls. Buy the music!

[lightfootguy]

Been a Lightfoot fan since my early teens (46 now) and never get tired of listening to his music. I especially enjoy this song from the Harmony album; its style is very much like his late 60s/early 70s music, yet somehow very modern at the same time. It's too bad Gord can't live forever and keep producing music for us...

[lightfoot1976]

I've been a lifelong Gordon Lightfoot fan; saw him in concert in Seattle, Wa. in 1976, and I know all his songs,just about every word of every song. That's how much I care about his music. Thank you for allowing me to chart my life by your songs.....This song is great, but then all of them are....Steve in Idaho USA

[roadsniffer]

Out on the road week in & week out songs like this reminds Longhual drivers why we do our job for my Inspiration Lady (My wife of Thirty Years) Love the music ,Love The Wife.

[ethtreyu]

[carzyyouth27]

I truly think gordon lightfoot is a fantastic singer ,songwritter,a nd guitar player.he is truly a great musican that deserve to be in the rock and roll hall of fame.gordon your music gets me through some tough days keep it up the great music

[Hefner68]

Ich fínde, er ist seinem Stil bis jetzt treu geblieben. Hoffentlich macht er noch lange lange weiter so...

[pattyford]

This Man Is truly gifted....

[DougM63]

Thank you Gordon lightfoot for all youve done. Very nice song, packed with love.

[charlyspaceargentina]

Soy el admirador nro 1 de Gordon en Argentina. Su musica me ha inspirado y la he recomendado siempre...Este video muestra que el fuego sagrado se mantiene...Gracias Gordon!!!!!!!

[sissyfuss]

i cant stop listening to this song, it's just so good. he has written and song so many good tunes over the years you loose count, but this is gotta be one of his best

[rtr22]

Terrific song. An inspiration. Just like GL.

[jeanandbilly]

Mister Gordon Lightfoot,your music has accompanied me thru out my life.When I was a kid my Dad used to sing me your songs.Like 'Knotty Pine' & 'Daylight Katy'.I wish you well.Thanks for everything.Miss you Dad...

[indistructibleflower]

Lovely song, lovely video...you're the main man Gordon!

[jonstr14]

About time,ive been waiting for a new single from gordon. i must say its just amazing some of thing he writes, another classic. way to go gordon.

[salmon821]

I have the greatest of respect for G L. his music has been around me since the 70's and his uk hit daylight katey.i have taken his music with me all over the world,67 countries in 15 years. good luck to you Mr. lightfoot and cont. to write your music as long as you can, i think it's the only medicine you need.Regards. D.S uk

[mepammy]

Bravo!!!!!!

[tombihung]

I was only 13 yrs old in the early 70's...and i have always like Gordon Lightfoot.....now at mid 40's.....it is such a refreshing to hear his song every now and then........an evergreen songs and voice.......

[merlightfoot]

Lol theres my mom and dad in the movie.

Gord = dad

blonde lady at the beggining = mom

he wrote it for her. it brings tears to my eyess :-)

[tacomanite]

No kidding?! That is great - you are a lucky kid. I wish your family many great years.

[Rattop]

Hey, man, GL's prime's not over yet. I don't think Lightfoot'll stop writing until they lower him into the ground. honestly, he just ain't the type to retire from something he obviously loves so much.

[gordongarylightfoot]

Glad to have lived during GL's prime. First saw him at Cal Poly, SLO 1972. Have seen him seven times since. No one writes better. Thanks for posting.

[TampaRed]

Lightfoot has such appeal. A truly treasured songwriter. For us Canadians, Mr Lightfoot wrote the soundtrack of our nation.

[gat19a]

You just can't beat a Canadian folk singer. Gordon, the states thank you.

[nakas05stang]

What a wonderful song!!! thanks Gordon!!!

[Cazzers]

My aunt is the painter in this video. :)

[surfcottage]

He used to come to our university all the time...and sing in the coffee shop....great days!~

[TampaRed]

That'd would've been awesome!

[FerretMIke]

He is that kind of a guy. He has stayed out in back of the Hult Center in Eugene, Oregon, and the venue he plays in Portland and patiently chatted with adoring fans. He does not take himself too seriously and has no ego problems about who he is.

He is a great man and an excellent performer who never takes himself too seriously. I have loved his singing and songs since the late 1960s and saw him this summer here.

It was a memorable experience. I hope he lives to be more then a hundred.

[jhill2704]

Saw him in concert 3 times in Red Bank NJ-GREAT!!Thanks for posting this video-its nice

[aqualily07]

It's so good to see him..he's one of my favorite artists..

[hoodgal06]

Thanks for posting this...I love G.L. because my dad does, and we're seeing him in concert on April 25th!

[DumpBeezz]

Love this song. It was one of the songs my wife and I danced too at our wedding.

[campnoucanada]

My favourite song from the Harmony CD. Thanks for posting!

[airdriver]

Thanks Gordon!

Thank you for the music, memories and incredible singing and songwriting.

Thank you!

[TeresaMW]

Beautifully done video. Lightfoot has been a favorite of mine since 1972, and his voice is still terrific.

[mrvolvo10]

There is only one Gordon Lightfoot,and his music will be classics for years to come. It is a shame that he had to go through what he did, but I believe it strengthened his spirit and more people will discover how wonderful a man he is. And he is a great storyteller too!

[frb01]

I don't know the extent of that particular relationship, he has admitted his addiction issues in the past, primarily alcohol and has been sober for over twenty years, if not the burst aneurysm of 2002 would have killed him.

[panzergrenaider]

Gords true inspiration lady was one Cathy Smith. The same Cathy Smith who supplied John Belushi on his final night. One can only guess the chemical damage he has sustained.

[FerretMIke]

'Lightning' never did speed balling like Belushi. In fact, had he not been in good shape from running and proper exercise with no booze, he would have died from the illness he recently had. You should be as lucky to be in his shape at his age.

[PRETALIATION]

What a stupid comment.

''One can only guess'' at your IQ.

Don't count what you read in The Enquirer as fact.

[frb01]

Gord will be 68 in November, the women in this video would seem to be in her forties, and I know Gord has children, I don't know if he is a grandparent, but this video was made on his way to recovery from a very serious illness.

[jackwhiskey]

Gordon Lightfoot, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell owe their early successes to Ian and Sylvia Tyson who wrote or recorded their songs. Early Morning Rain (Lightfoot), That's What you Get for Loving me (Lightfoot), Someday Soon (Ian Tyson), Circle Game (Joni Mitchell) were first recorded by Ian & Sylvia. Just a piece of history - I'm old. LOL I think the woman in this video is not that much younger that Gord. I was sort of hoping they were connected somehow. Just a romantic.

[frb01]

Mr. Lightfoot much like some of his counterparts in the US, has a whole bunch of younger fans in his native Canada, in addition he has younger children himself. After his near death experience in 2002, I think he is glad to be alive.

[rdnzl401]

It would be nice if the video showed a woman similar in age to the singer, don't you think? Or do women cease to be inspiring at 40?

[TobyWonKenoby]

According to Gord's young daughter Meredith ("merlightfoot," a prolific YouTuber)that woman is none other than Gord's wife and Mer's mother. Hence the "inspiration"...

Peace,

Toby

[FerretMIke]

Gordon Lightfoot is an artist of the highest caliber. He is smart, inventive and has always had his hand on the pulse of life. His music will outlive him.

To be a singer song writer of legacy and inspiration for others to do the same work says it all about this man.

[lrsmith]

One of the best storyteller songwriter/singers ever! Guthrie, Dylan, Crocie, Chapin, etc.

[frb01]

He has a video/DVD of a concert he did in Reno, Nev which has a number of his songs, it was a PBS special in the early 2000's and I believe is still available, Live in Reno I think it is called and it has a number of his hits he plays in concert.

[frb01]

Gordon Lightfoot fell ill and nearly died in 2002, this video was done in 2004 and you can see how ill he really was in 2002. He has a couple other songs from the 1990's like Restless which are in this category. Long before Shania, Gordon Lightfoot and Anne Murray were the stars that came from Canada. Mr. Lightfoot turns 68 in November, many more years Gordon.

[oklabo]

He has 3 other videos from an album in the early 80's. Hope someone will post them.

[Bubo73]

Gordon Lightfoot is a wonderful, poetic spirit who has blessed us with so many quality songs and lyrics. I will never tire of his music! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea he had a music video. :-)

[typhlosion]

I love Gordon Lightfoot, and it is so nice to see and hear music that is about love and what really counts in life.

[artlion]

Lightfoot is one of the few greatest, with Dylan, Cohen, Donovan, Moustaki and Buckley. Thanks.

[Winston79]

Gordon has spent a lifetime making great music. Thanks!

[PoopSlop]

do you have any profe of this? more love in his little finger. I know gordon lightfoot and he is nothing more then a brilliant poet, not a love hero.

[dukecole1]

My favorite video! Extremely sensitive and romantic! Love songs are what the multi-talented Lightfoot does better than any other songwriter! Expresses the deep love & appreciation Gordon has for his wife and daughters. Of the hundreds of songs that Lightfoot has written & recorded, this ranks near the top! This video should strike a wonderful chord in the hearts of all men who long to find words that best display their own love and appreciation for their wife and daughters!

[dukecole1]

I whole-heartedly agree. The best music video out there! What a love song! What a wonderful way of expressing love for your wife and daughters! Gordon has more love in his little finger than most men have in their whole body!

[tubeboob]

Reminds me of my mouse.



[dukecole1]

Nonsense!
