Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. CC OOnt (November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023) was one of the best, and best-known, folk-rock singer-songwriters to come out of Canada.An Orillia, Ontario native, Lightfoot first emerged in the early '60s as a composer of hit songs for other artists such as Peter, Paul and Mary ("Early Mornin' Rain", "For Lovin' Me") and Marty Robbins ("Ribbon of Darkness"). He released his own debut single in 1962 and his debut album in 1966, and was pretty much immediately a star in his native Canada, but internationally most of his best-known hits came during the '70s, including "If You Could Read My Mind" (1970), "Beautiful" (1972), "Sundown" (1974), "Carefree Highway" (1974), "Rainy Day People" (1975), "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (1976), and "The Circle Is Small" (1978). | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Gordon Lightfoot (Music) / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: "Black Day in July" (about the 1967 Detroit riots) and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (about a 1975 shipwreck on Lake Superior), both written and recorded shortly after the actual events happened. In the latter case, he literally drew most of song's details from a Newsweek article about the shipwreck. Also applies to his other shipwreck song, "Ballad of Yarmouth Castle" (about a deadly 1965 fire on a cruise steamship). | |

Protest Song | |
| Gordon Lightfoot (Music) / int_16d8476f | comment |
Protest Song: "Black Day In July" about racial equality. "Ode to Big Blue" for the environment and whaling. "Boss Man" is a tribute to striking songs from earlier in the century. "Lost Children" and "Sit Down Young Stranger" are softer examples speaking on war and the generation gap. | |

Genre Roulette | |
| Gordon Lightfoot (Music) / int_4b1ca7d2 | comment |
Genre Roulette: Did She Mention My Name? was easily his most eclectic album, with detours from his usual sound like "Black Day in July" (a strident Protest Song with the most Rock-oriented backing he'd done up to that point, including thunderous drums), "May I?" (a Vaudeville-style song with Ironic Nursery Tune lyrics), "Pussywillows, Cat-Tails" (a medieval-sounding ballad) and "Something Very Special" (an impressionistic ballad with some psychedelic touches). He apparently wasn't all that comfortable with it, since for his next album he not only went back to a more straightforward acoustic folk sound, but pointedly titled the album Back Here on Earth. | |

Christmas Songs | |
| Gordon Lightfoot (Music) / int_659468c1 | comment |
Christmas Songs: "Song for a Winter's Night" wasn't specifically written as one of these (it makes no mention of the holiday), but has come to be embraced as such regardless and is covered on a few other artists' Christmas albums. "Circle of Steel" is more of an Anti-Christmas Song, depicting as it does a poor welfare mother whose husband or boyfriend is in prison, and who spends her Christmas sitting alone in a rat-infested tenement, drinking gin and waiting for the authorities to take custody of her newborn child. | |

Location Song: Played with in "Carefree Highway". He saw a freeway exit sign for Carefree Highway, which goes to the town of Carefree, Arizona, and realized it would be a great title for a Wanderlust Song. Played straight with "Alberta Bound", "Christian Island (Georgia Bay)", "Ghosts of Cape Horn". Also with "Couchiching", about Lake Couchiching in central Ontario. "Long Thin Dawn" opens with the narrator reading off a list of towns he's visited/makes a point of visiting repeatedly. | |

Due to the Dead | |
| Gordon Lightfoot (Music) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" mentions how the Mariners' Church in Detroit (called the "maritime sailors' cathedral" in the song) tolled its bell 29 times to memorialize the shipwrecked sailors. On the day after Lightfoot's death, the church tolled the bell 30 times, 29 for the Edmund Fitzgerald crew and one for Lightfoot himself. "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" ends with the reminder "And many are the dead men / Too silent to be real". | |

Lyrical Dissonance: "Ribbon of Darkness", a jolly-sounding song, complete with whistling, about how the singer's lover left him. "Bitter Green", a very pretty tune about a woman who pines away waiting for her lover to return. He arrives soon after she dies. "Go-Go Round" is a peppy, energetic pop song about a lonely go-go dancer pining for the musician she fell in love with who either has moved on or is touring with a band and isn't thinking about her. | |
