Great Job!!!!!!5*from Germany!!!!

Great job! I've been trying to learn this song for a week and can't even remember all the words yet. I love the picking also.

[Beadazzle10]

of all the "If You Could Read My Mind" videos, I think yours is the best. thank you.

[MonkeylessJohn]

Beautiful, once again!!

[1KIOWAWARRIOR]

I like The Gordon Lightfoot as much as I did your version of Cat's In The Cradle. All I know is that if you don't do this for a living with your voice, and guitar palying....Well you should be !! Keep up the good work mman !!

[mskerripa]

[brautigan1]

Man, I gotta say something wierd here, lol:

I love you. I'm not gay. I'm not a woman. I'm a music lover. I don't just like the song and the voice, I love you because your soul shines through when you play this and you have a beautiful soul. I love all people when they shine like this. I know - wierd.

[Mowac]

very impressive...........

[nomberguan]

Loved your interpretation.

Great voice and beautiful arrangement.

Cheers!

:)

[oted877]

Man you are amazing! How did you learn that, where can i find the tabs?

10 stars...dude

[carosta]

What for does your wife need Gordon Lightfoot?

OK, he wrote this wonderful song, but you sing it even better than him! Five stars!

[LeilaniRocks]

Hey, thanks alot for that!

[dreamscape414]

wow! That was so pretty! You have a wonderful voice, and this is not an easy song to sing - and an especially hard song to pick. Nice work!!

[LeilaniRocks]

Hey, thank you very much!

[tosaytheleast]

This an awesome song and you really play it beautifully. You look very comfortable singing and playing too. Excellent work.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, Jeff. Gordon has so many wonderful tunes, it is hard to decide which ones to learn first.

[jherr5150]

Awesome, like all the others here - thanks for commenting on my first video on youtube yesterday also. I've checked out your videos on my old ID, and appreciate the feedback.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot. I enjoy your songs very much as well.

[blonde037]

5* I love this song!!! Great job

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, blonde! I love it too.

[cdf62]

What an awesome talent you have there. Thanks so much for taking the time to share. :-)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks so much. Gord is still the man.

[toratora5]

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, man! Same back to you!

[ParadiseEarth1]

Cool :)

[ParadiseEarth1]

"It is my good fortune to be accompanying my wife to see Gordon live in concert in just about a week!"

I trust you had a great time. Great song indeed and you played it real nice too.*****

If you're not aware yet, you can actually load your video in stereo. If you're interested, instructions can be found in my Blackbird description section. : )

[LeilaniRocks]

Oh yeah, it was a great time on a very chilly northern night. Thanks for the tip.

[cjbell019]

A+++++++++. Once again, my man, you made it happen. Great job.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks man! Go TIGERS! Oh...well, in 2008 anyways!

[MelleStar]

Wonderful version of this song. Great work! :)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, Melle. I really enjoy you and Kris' stuff too...even when I can't understand the words!

[Cameragirl803]

Wow! I love the way you play this. Thanks dewikle for turning me on to it:)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks so much.

[dewikle2]

Nicely done... voice and guitar. I even got my headphones out and put them on for this one. Do you know how few Youtube postings can still hold up when you go to headphones? Very very few !! I know its only responsible for 1% of your efforts success - but what kind of Mic are you using? If I might ask.. Best wishes

[LeilaniRocks]

Sorry I missed this one. Thanks. The mic is built into my Logitech for Notebooks Pro webcam...and sounds great on XP but the slight distortion you hear <o(( on the higher vocals has come about since I moved it to my new Vista machine. Other than that I agree the range and response of this mic is surprisingly good. Thanks again.

[brautigan1]

details...details. Who cares.  I think you could do this on a 50 buck pawn shop guitar through a tin can and I'd love it.

[acousticman1]

nice

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks man.

[OMM06]

Nice, YTFriend! Enjoyable, though the lyrics tell a sad story.... You have a great voice and you play very well. Thanks for sharing your performances with me and everyone else. Regards to your wife.  Hope the concert went well. :-)

[LeilaniRocks]

Yes a sad and familiar story to many. But what a beautiful way of telling it. Song has haunted me like the "ghost in a wishing well" since well before I understood what it was about.

[mmcs122]

This is really great, John! I'm going to have to try playing this the way you do- my version's really hard to play and doesn't sound near this good! ;)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks. I was there too...for years on this song...then a few days ago I just stripped it down as you hear now, and was surprised and pleased with how that worked. Testament to the songwriter, I guess.

[oodava]

Well It's a very nice arrangement you have created, I will just have to try to transcribe the song. (+)

[oodava]

George Norry from coast to coast always seems to play this as bumper music. Did you happen to use tabs, if so, do you think you could send them to me or tell me where you got them? Thanks.

[LeilaniRocks]

Sorry, no tabs. My own arrangement.

[classican]

Excellent!!!

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot, Pete! So glad you enjoyed it.

[herbiesnerd]

fantastic. i have to steal your picking. great playing!

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot!

[Jediairmech]

Good to see that you're back at it brother! sounds great as usual

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot, Tim. Where ya been man? Sure have missed your posts out here in YT land.

[Jediairmech]

work work work.....blah, lol

[annie7770]

lovely, just lovely to listen to on a Sunday morning...

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks so much for that.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot, man.

[bubejunkie]

excellent.. haven't seen you post in a while dude... sounds good man.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks man. Long time no hear-from... Hey, figure that! Me singing a '70's tune... ;o)

[KGeert]

Really beautiful cover of this wonderful song :-)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thank you darling! The whole world loves Mr. Lightfoot...

[Eddie629]

Nice rendition !...and yer goin' to go see Gordie ?...well..I am supremely jealous !...excellent !*****

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot, Eddie. Yeah...had the tickets for months now... looking forward to next Saturday night. Only the second time I have gotten to see him...first time I was too young to appreciate anything but the skirts in the audience!! I'm gonna hear the music this time...

[MonkeylessJohn]

Great performance on this incredible song !!! My second most favourite of Gordon's songs. Beautiful !!!

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks so much, John. Gotta ask... what is #1 for you?

[MonkeylessJohn]

Weird, I responded to this once but it dissapeared. Anywy, without a doubt my favourite song of Gordon's is The Last Time ( I saw her face) I believ the line " And if time could heal the wounds, I would tear the threads away, so I could bleed some more" is the most incredible lyric I have ever heard. This song makes my heart break every time I hear it. I am trying desperately to cover it.

[IXLennonRIPXI]

wow excellent man

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks for listening. I am just the player...wish I could have written it.

[malcsegovia]

great cover very well done

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it all the way over in GB. Appreciate you stopping by.

[ArdieVerde]

Very nice. merlightfoot just posted an interview with her dad at her youtube channel. I went to Meadowbrook to watch some bluegrass a few years ago, nice venue if the weather is good.

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, I will have to look for that. Yeah...fingers crossed for good weather...in Michigan...in mid-September...

[Veralucy]

This is a real beautiful relic! I always loved this song, but never heard it anymore! Thanks so much for posting and Danke shön Kris(Shred)!

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks so much for appreciating this "relic" along with me. Nothing wrong with relics... we can be a lot of fun too! ;o)))

[orangepeels03]

very nice play John..

*M*

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, sweetheart. Isn't it a great song?

[orangepeels03]

yes indeed!

*M*

[KrisShred]

Love that song - thanks for posting it :)

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, Kris! It is easily on of my favorite songs of all time.

[Ottawarocket]

Great cover John, One of the best lightfoot songs : )

Rob

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, Rob...but THERE ARE SO MANY! I have to wonder how Gordon could possibly pick a set to play anymore. Quality and quantity... just unbelievable. He's all over my mp3 player. And this song...has been painting pictures in my mind since I was a little kid, and continues to this day.

[MikeHelmsMusic]

Yeah that's a fav of mine too... done well' very well'

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks alot, Mike. Gordon is one of my guitar heroes from a ways back.

[brignoni68]

Effin Awesome!

[LeilaniRocks]

Thanks, bro!
