Take each song from Harmony and name which previous Lightfoot song it sounds closest to. This can be lyrically, instrumentally or both. Or just an inner vibe.

(1) Harmony- Minstrel of the Dawn
(2) River of Light- ?????
(3) Flying Blind- Whispers of the North
(4) No Mistake About It- Baby Step Back
(5) End of All Time- ??????
(6) Shellfish- Thank You For The Promises
(7) No Hotel- ?????
(8) Inspiration Lady- Beautiful
(9) Clouds of Lonliness- ?????
(10) Couchiching- Cherokee Bend
(11) Sometimes I Wish- I'm Not Supposed to Care

River Of Light (my favourite track) definitely has a “Boathouse” feel to it.

Many of the songs on Harmony remind me of the wistfulness and longing on Don Quixote. I don’t want to compare directly but Christian Island, Looking At The Rain, Ordinary Man, Second Cup Of Coffee, Beautiful and On Susan’s Floor all seem to have the same ache and desire I find on Harmony.
The sensual, demanding and searching 34 year old man is still there in the mature 65 year old.

Sorry,Shelty. "End Of All Time" cannot be compared to any of his past songs and I defy anyone to even begin to make one! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif Period (.) ...end of sentence (right here.) Wait! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif Thats another period. ...And Another. Oh no I can't stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop! Ahh,that worked. (D'oh!)
