"If There's a Reason" from "Endless Wire" always seemed to be a tough song to sing. Lots of tension/anger in the lyrics with notes being held/yelled out "If there's a chanceeeeeeeee!!" "Give it a tryyyyyyyyyyyy!" "If you should need meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" Great song!

Probably ,"The Ghost Of Cape Horn."

But I do agree somewhat with, Tom. "If There's A Reason." You got have great lungs to follow him on the record, with that one.

Rainbow Trout might be another one. You have to sing it kind of high.

I'm not sure if that's singing or yelling!

Sounds like he's out by his barn yellin' at his ol' lady about wanting to go trippin' in his mellow yellow canoe. His wife is probably telling him "No!" :) It's most likely Gord's hardest rockin' song!


Another hard song to sing is "Forgive Me Lord"...it's very hard for some to pray...let alone sing about humbling ourselves & asking for forgiveness. Pride keeps us from singing this song!

Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my face a different point of view
Forgive us Lord if we run to you

If you love me
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me Lord for I have sinned
