[jagturan]

This is a great video. Makes this Jersey boy wanna be a Canadian!

Gordon looks heavier than I remember him.

"The Way i Feel" (Vinyl)

[pckpat]

this video is from a cbc special about expo 67 in montreal(all you canucks of course know that was centennial year,and a big deal at the time)-the other song he did on this show was "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"which is a veritable folk-lore masterpiece,imho.That song was specially commissioned by a cbc staff producer,I can't recall the name.I saw a documentary about it.I'm a huge lightfoot fan,myself-my mom played all his records when I was a kid.I have heard "Crossroads" somewhere before(album?)

I <3 Canada!  Go Canucks!

Lightfoot has placed cryptic Christian messaging here throughout this song .

"for i have no home and iI am no mans son" Jesus "and now the seeds are planted" The Gospel

"the Gates are opened wide" The Gates of Heaven

the legacy is at the "Cross"roads of time Calvary where Jesus was crusified

[watersong111]

@uncatila Ummm....nice try....

[uncatila]

@watersong111 lightfoot did the same thing in "sit down young Stranger". at the end he sings "the answers in the forest carved upon a tree. John loves Mary does anyone love mer" Jhon and Mary stood at thr CROSS WHICH IS ALSO called a tree and Lightfoot sings "to wear the crown of peace u must wear the crown of thorns and meantions Jesus by name. in a latter song "at best it is said we bin locked up inside of an old seamans chest full of charts where maps are contained and wats left a his brains

We were certainly at the crossroads in time in the 60's

[gmr366]

Thanks POWLOA...

Just saw Lightfoot here in London a couple of months ago. He didn't sing this gem.

Do you have a good version of "The Watchman's Gone" ? ie the studio version?

Love to see what you come up with..

Thanks again for this post...

[sanQ]

Where did the Gord footage come from? He must've made a short film of this song in the 60's. Where is that footage?

[PAWLOA]

@sanQ Hi. The footage is some Vintage expo 67 footage while the country shots are from our trip through CANADA.

[bishopaz]

man,well done.to me,this is the official video for this fine song.btw,that was a stroke of genius adding yourself(you look like a young gordon lightfoot)

[indigenous2logic]

Great song and video! But why do we see this guy lip-syncing to the song, he ruined the song for me.

[cullinane8888]

ha you look a bit sick threre bud get help

[Lunkanp]

So glad you posted this, really an awesome song that I've never heard. Thank YOU.

[btyrrell1]

Great JOB. This is the first time I've heard this song and the video is super. Great JOB!.

[PAWLOA]

Hey man. that dude is me?!?!?!??!!

[uncatila]

@PAWLOA i think it was a mistake to put yourself in the video. New people might think the fat guy is Lightfoot and stop listening bto the song.

[flycentro123]

Im not smoking weed, but I keep seeing this dude pop up and start singing...its freakin me out..

[asparrow]

Starts off good but then gets REALLY funny looking.

[raiphdude7]

Dude, That IS Gordon Lightfoot! He is only miming

[rhapsody5876]

Awesome !

Nailed it . Killer video too !

[Chippy777Jake]

Fantastic video to a fantastic song. I'm not Canadian, but I'll gladly admit Lightfoot is the best singer/songwriter I've ever heard anywhere. Love that man's music!

[sedicenobufalo]

wow man you sound so much like gordon lightfoot!

[19624291a]

nice song and very lovley scenerey

[luv4lightfoot]

Enjoyable video!

[Chippy777Jake]

Terrific video to a terrific Lightfoot song (aren't they ALL terrific? LOL) Nice job!

[ApocalypsePlough]

Gordon Lightfoot deserves props just for remaining in Canada. Most Canadians who make it big move to the States (eg, Neil Young).

[fundybaygirl]

nice to hear the old songs...very good and gordie , you are the one!!!!

[defiantlyso]

Truly a Canadian icon. Wonderfully done.

Bravo!

[JennyA1999123]

[lytfoot123]

great song Jen..never heard this one and have been a friend of your dad's for 36 years. jack in NH

[35mm35]

Your daddy is beautiful inside and out.

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Great video!! BRAVO. This is the first time i've ever heard this song, which is hard to believe since i've been a Lightfoot fan for 40 years. You've certainly captured the spirit of the song with your fine choice of images.

[PAWLOA]

Glad you liked it. Most of the images are from our trip across the country by car. I tried to match the images to the song as best I could. Some of it is vintage expo film which I added also. To see our other videos just type in "pawloa" in the search.

[canfan57]
