There are so many great Gord songs that it truly is hard (impossible?) to pick one. My favorite for sentimental reasons is The Last Time I Saw Her, the first Gord song that I ever heard. But one song that I still find stunning every time that I hear it is Canadian Railroad Trilogy. And let me only tell you that I have heard this song many, MANY times (and often very LOUD)!!
I find such great poetry and power in Gord's performance that the song commands my attention.
"On the mountaintops we stand
All the world at our command
Wehave opened up the soil
With our teardrops. . . and our toil!"
Wow, I thrill just to typing those lyrics.
