Cerridwen Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 It was quite incredible listening to William Prince sing this at the Celebrating Gordon Lightfoot Memorial concert at Massey Hall on May 24th.... why this wasn't a much bigger hit is beyond me... an anthem, really. Go first in the world, go forth with your fears Remember a price must be paid Be always too soon, be never too fast At the time when all bets must be laid Beware of the darkness, be kind to your children Remember the woman who waits And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your gate When you're caught by the gale and you're full under sail Beware of the dangers below And the song that you sing should not be too sad And be sure not to sing it too slow Be calm in the face of all common disgraces And know what they're doin' it for And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your door When you're out on the road and feelin' quite lost Consider the burden of fame And he who is wise will not criticize When other men fail at the game Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places Be careful while bending the law And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at your door When you're down in the dumps and not ready to deal Decide what it is that you need Is it money or love, is it learning to live Or is it the mouth you must feed Be known as a man who will always be candid On questions that do not relate And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate And the house you live in will never fall down If you pity the stranger who stands at the gate....

RupertKBD Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 So, just for fun, I decided to create an "All-Star" band of Canadian artists. The only rule is, you can't use more than one member of the same band. There is a spot for the vocalist, but if any of the other members (guitar, drums, bass & keys) are strong vocalists as well, that would be considered a bonus. The members can be alive or no longer with us, but you can create a lineup of both if you like. Here's mine: Vocals - Jim Cuddy Guitar - Rik Emmet Bass - Kenny "Spider" Sinnaeve Keys - Burton Cummings Drums - Neal Peart I thought it would be worthwhile to include a "Songwriter" category as well, but I'm torn between Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot. I'm leaning towards Gord.... Let's see yours..... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 (edited) Warning---- I will not be held to my 5 minutes of thought list: Vocals - I want to hear the band together, before final decision- contenders are Ron Tabak, Bill Henderson, Susan Jacks, Darby Mills, Doug Bennett, Colin James, Burton Cummings, Fred Turner. and a few more--- hardest category to decide imo. Slide Guitar - Colin Linden Acoustic Guitar- Bruce Cockburn 'blues' guitar Colin James-nearly went Bill Henderson Bass - Fred Turner-- toss up between Fred and Geddy Lee, but with Neil being a super, duper, obvious, choice on drums; Fred takes this slot. Keys - Burton Cummings Drums- Neal Peart- easiest category to decide. Songwriter- Cohen was amazing, Randy Bachman and Burton were great,--- but the best was Gord Lightfoot.
