Harmony is a stunning return to form for Gordon Lightfoot. The album is like a fine vintage wine preserved since the seventies. It will make you cry. It will make you yearn. It will sadden you. It will lift you. Chill bumps will form on your arms as you listen to songs so magestically sad and full of reminiscence. No other songwriter, living or dead, can accomplish this, and Gord's fans know it's true.
The songs "End of All Time" and "Sometimes I Wish" are masterpieces that will make your heart hurt and rank with Gord's best in this genre. "Shellfish" is as poetically philosophical as any folk song can possibly be. The title song, "Harmony" is as soothing, yet heartbreaking, as anything Gord has done since "Pony Man
Through the woodlands "Don Quixote" rides his stallion into our hearts again. He will sear it apart with his sword. Ah, but the pain is worth it.
Shelty,
that is one beautiful post! Listening to Gord has rubbed off on you.
