One aspect I want to highlight about Gordon Lightfoot's songs are the instrumental parts. I like these parts a lot, they add the right pace to a song and put a spotlight on the wonderful melodies.
For example, the guitar play in the middle of Leaves Of Grass is utmost beautiful. Often, songs start and end instrumental. Cotton Jenny comes to my mind, as well as Never Too Close, two songs that have excellent beginnings.
I'm sure you all have your favorite instrumental sequence too, so please add them here.
