Who would You Be??

[~The Gypsy~]

Silver Heels,

Hell, NOW I want to be the deck of that "good old boat"! Always loved heels, and SILVER ones.....help, me Lord, I've sinned again.

There WAS a warm wind last night and in my mind I was "walking on the shore, listen(ing) to the sea" ...

God, I love this site! And I'm glad I seemingly understand--it WAS a risk.

Char,
Can I please be the lady in the song "Affair on Eighth Avenue"? Can I --huh-- huh -- please?

LOL

"...The perfume that she wore was from some little store
from the down side of town....
.... Her long, flowing hair came softly undone
and it lay all around....
... Then she brushed it down as I stood by her side
in the warmth of her love.
.... Then our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
and she came through the doorway somewhere in the night ...."

(Okay, the lines aren't all necessarily in order, but THAT song pretty much says it all.)



Stay loose, eh?

LAMS

P.S. Char, did you know that there really WAS an Ann? And it was that Ann who is mentioned in "Carefree Highway."

------------------
"Love and maple syrup
go together like the
sticky winds of winter
when they meet....
If you go into the forest
Gaze up through the trees
The sky is white.
You can understand
What makes the forest
Greet the man
Like a mother's only
child ..."

Was it Ann or Anne?

Char's touchy on this one. lol (see prior debate)

I STILL wanna be the deck of "Silver Heels" as long as Silver Heels is onboard. Was told to "hit the sky" though, so...

My middle name is ANNE. Gord's lady is ANN. There wasn't any discrepancy. No touchiness here. There wasn't any debate. I mentioned I had misspelled my Ann by forgetting the "E". I think it was a Fredian slip or wishful thinking that I was ANN with no "E". LOL I figured there must have been an Ann - just as I'm pretty sure Betty was a girl he knew too.

If I may babble a little bit in between all of these great posts. MAN, you guys and gals are GOOD! Good Stuff!!!

I WAS the guy GL sings about in "It's Worth Believ'n". I WAS the guy in "Ordinary Man".

"There's a breeze from the shore and the waves overlap."

"And as I wander through the cities and the towns, I get so lonesome knowing you could be around."

I don't want to sound negative but those two songs among others, were me. I guess I liked them so much because they really hit home.

I can really relate to the line "I would break the threads away, so I could bleed some more", because that is what I used to do with "It's Worth Believ'n". The song reminded me of my past love. It took me a few years to get over that love, but with GL's music and some help from my friend ("another empty bottle, and another story to tell") things worked out. It was many years ago but I still love those songs. That is all in the past now, (thank God) and I have been happily married since 1977.

Somebody mentions about being the "Painter". I don't think I could go through all the things (failed relationships, etc.)GL went through in his life. I believe he had to go through that to become the artist that he is. I really don't know if I would want that.

sorry for stretching this,

Wes

Well, Wes,
If we're going to go there, then I guess "Endless Wire" was written for me. It is a perfect description of me.


"... I ain't got nothing to hide.
My life is an endless wire.
I got both feet on the ground.
I ain't got no one for hire.

I ain't got a thing to show.
My lives have all expired.
So don't go fooling around
And set my wheels afire.

Down in the dark of a burnt out soul
There's a few good second hand dreams...
Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you.
Dark in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second-hand scenes...
Deep in the dark of a heavenly blue where the sea runs green.

I ain't got nothing to give.
My life is an endless rhyme
My love's a paperback dream
I ain't got nothing but time.

I ain't got a thing to show.
I don't know my own name;
So don't go fooling around
and set my wheels aflame...."

Ironic how Gord manages to put us in touch with the deepest parts of ourselves, isn't it?

Stay loose, eh?

Oh, heck.

Instead of being a character in one of Gord's songs, I'd be completely content and happy to just be his GUITAR!!!! lol!

OK I have stayed away from this one but...I just want to be Gord the singer/songwriter/poet.
I can't sing (although I do).
I couldn't put two words together to describe how I feel to save my life.
I am not a musician.

I wouldn't want Gord's life though, just the talent and the admiration.

We can dream can't we?

[Wes Steele]

Hey Dan, don't you think GL had to go through those tough times, relationships, etc., to make him the person he is?

Don't you think it has a lot to do with his songwriting?

Just perusing this thread for the first time, and ANNE, you have a lovely name (just like my wife!). When we were dating, I would listen to Carefree Highway and imagine the pain of losing my Anne.
Dan, I feel a lot like you do. I like a lot of pop music, but one of the reasons that I have always been drawn to Gord's music is that if I could be a musician, I would want to be just like him in terms of performance. Until I started reading these messages, I didn't have a very good idea about what Gord the person was really like. I am very happy to learn that he is considerate and not too full of himself.
Now, as to a character from a song: I like the central character from Crossroads.
"I've seen the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing
And on the still of a summer night I've heard the mountains ring.
In the good land, Iwas young and I was strong
No one dared to call me son
Happy just to see my day's work done
See my day's work done!"
