Damn, another loss! RIP Gordon Lightfoot. I've been a fan since the late 70's. I am officially depressed.
The title cut from my favorite album of his:

Someday soon is from the 1950's & the other two from the 1960's.

A true Canadian icon. And when Bob Dylan says you're a great songwriter....
And you can't say goodbye to Gord without this one.

As a child from Michigan hard pressed not to know the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Found the rest of his catalog when I was in the Air Force when I got like a 50GB supply of random MP3s from a co-worker.

As a kid raised on 70s AM radio, with folk pop being a big thing at the time, I could not avoid being aware of Gordon Lightfoot. It was only in retrospect that I recognized my extreme privilege at being exposed to his elevating and introspective art at such an impressionable age. His lyrics were over my head, beckoning me to elevate my mind to contemplation of their deeper meaning.
