JJ - I know just what you mean about when you listen to Lightfoot, you are less in the minority than you think, imho.
Oh - and thank you for clarifying my temporary brain-dead lack of understanding the twist on pride goeth before a fall. I f I understand your explanation right - you are saying that by virtue of the song paring and order, the twist - That pride cometh before the fall... is from the first song in the medley being representativemetaphorically or implicitly of Pride, which cometh (the song) before "The fall" - intrinsic to the second song, where the proganist akes am emotional fall ? airre am I havn' it lad ? Is that the way of it ? I think I get it now
. Yes ?
And I also, more often than not jj, when liste ing casually. not intently, to Lightfoot, listen to the melody, the "mood" of the song, phraseology, orchestration, and what I call "That Lightfoot feeling" - sctually I read that somewhere, even cited it recently, but don't remember where. That feeling is the better part of my enjoyment....memories songs invoke, pictures they paint, but i willtry to avoid digressing to all the near cliches of Gord's evocations.eg lyrical tapestries, etc. Its the feeling, as it were. that is what
frames my enjoyment. Sometimes i listen intently to lyrics- as in Heven Help the devil last night - as in "what does this freedom mean to me" et al...... thx JJ
