Welcome to Litsy!

I am the coolest person at this pool party LET ME TELL YOU

One of my favourite Gordie songs came to mind for #wall. I consider Lightfoot‘s lyrics poetic so I thought what the hell? Why not? Here‘s a youtube link if you want to give it a listen: https://youtu.be/YdYQCOKi1c8 #PoetryMatters

Packed with great photos, this would be a perfect gift for any fan or person interested in his life.
Highly recommended.

Day 18 - #blackdayinjuly #timbittunes

Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
Black day in July
Black day in July
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July

I grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot & he's still one of my favourite songwriters. When I hear the word #neon, I always think of this song, "Home From The Forest." #QuotsyDec18

"#Early Morning Rain expressed a palpable longing while expertly contrasting the rural past & urban present in one brilliant line about freight trains & jet planes. There was real emotion in the song. Lightfoot had placed himself directly in the story, summoning his own experience of travel & homesickness for inspiration...memories of big 707s, a rain-soaked runway & feeling a long way from home had given him his first great song." #QuotsyJune18

"A sense of melancholy, a mixture of heartbreak and regret, had always been present in Lightfoot's work. Love and loneliness permeated the songs on #Harmony, his first post-Warner album..." #QuotsyFeb18

So far, my goals are to finish my current reads and participate in Litsy Party of One & Throwback Readathon. #AnticipatedJanuaryReads #JaninBooks18
