@Pictor100 Yes it most certainly does - what a wonderful analogy Pictor100 - I was very disapointed that they didn't use Gord's "Canadian Railroad Triology" at the Winter Olympics.... No Lightfoot????!!! Nothing! What a damn shame! At least Neil Young played.
What a poetic and beautifully moving masterpiece! No wonder loveable Gordon Lightfoot is one of Dylan's greatest idols. The lyrics here capture a sense of longing which brings a deep emotional release. A big hug from Galiza, Spain for this wonderful artist.

'Restless' really captures the essence of Canada's vastness, doesn't it?

Something about the atmosphere created, or his delivery here, is simply incredible.

This is a great example of Lightfoot's songwriting genius. Both music and lyrics evoke the emotion of restlessness with perfect synergy.

I consider this song to be one of his real gems. As fellow Canadian David Foster said, Gord wrote a song on what it is to be Canadian.
