Gordon Lightfoot - If You Could Read My Mind (Cover)

This song was requested long ago by Ilene. It's the first Lightfoot song I ever heard, way back when I was 8 years old before I could know what it was about. But it was still incredibly beautiful to me. I hope I have done it justice here, particularly as I am uploading it on the Maestro's 70th birthday. Happy birthday Gordon Lightfoot, and may there be many more happy birthdays to come for you!

A real man with his WD40 in the background haha, really enjoyed this cover. I would love to see you cover Don McLean's Vincent :)

[GordIsKing]

@liloldlewy Thanks! And, so you know, I do have a cover of Vincent among my uploads. I can't link to it here but if you go to my channel and scroll through my uploads keeping your eye out for Don McClean you should spot it pretty easily. I hope you like it!

@GordIsKing Do Mcleans "Castles in the Air" that would be sweet

[GordIsKing]

@thepoozer Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add it to the request list. I've been pretty bad about putting up new stuff for a while now though. I'll try to do better.

@liloldlewy I'll agree with that suggestion about Vincent.

Outstanding performance! Now I'm going to spend much of my free time trying to learn this song. Well done.
