Q356 .... shipwrecked ....
Always On The Bright Side "Through two shipwrecked eyes I've come to see" I knew I'd heard it -- it just took me a while to find it. ;) |
Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
Hi Steve, That is good you got to know so much about your paternal great-grandfather. My paternal great-grandmother was also a school teacher. It was a one or two room schoolhouse where she taught all the grades, up until she got married. My dad was a construction worker but in the winters he drove an oil truck or semi. He was also the best harmonica player in the world, and played with some bands when he was 'older'. He passed away from a lung tumor when he was only 62. I remember how he would also characteristically pause - for up to a minutewhen someone would ask him an important question. I had to be respectful and patient many times. I remember one time a 'friend' of mine challenged him to a game or pool. (btw, he didn't drink, but he did smoke). She racked 'm up, and he called which pocket the 8-Ball would go in on the break. Then that's exactly what happened. That's the only time I ever saw him play pool.
...So, what did you find in the trunk from the basement? :) That's good you had such a good marriage. Merry sounds like an exceptionally nice person. |

Well you have the distinction of: Q356 .... shipwrecked .... = 'Always On The Bright Side' ? - YES ! You polished off the last of the ten. Congrats to 4Lane-Lynn thats a tongue twister say it ten times lol I'll post 'er in the 'Case of the greenbox and the hidden key' - X-FILES lol- Everyone'll be wondering what in the He77 I am writing about - I assure you - there is a reason. It'll come out in her memoirs, or unofficial bio - 4LaneLynn P.I. ! lol sorry Lynn had to have some fun on a Saturday night ! Something occurred to me just now, after I posted the above, updated the x-files, and thought....rare moment I know... When I say in the Header of the X-files - All songs from the main '20'ALBUMS' - NOT SO. Songbook is not of the 'main 20' - in the time period - yes, strictly speaking, no. I shall make that as clear as PPI Float-Glass from now. |

Yes, Merry was a wonderful woman - and staggeringly beautiful. What she saw in me I'll never know. She was sadly overtaken by illness(es) that took her spark away later in life, and even knowing at times who or where she was, so sad,. I'll not go on that way now. I'll allways cherish the memories of the golden Years - and later I know will see the wonderful strength of the 'Hospital House Years' we called 'em later. Enough of that part for me now- and everone else lol. More in PM any time you like. Thank you so much Patti - and I'll pick up on any detail I missed in PM's. Thank you.. ...I know I am looking back at her with the benfit of both 20-20 hind sight - and rose-colored indeed. She was human, as was I - but our first 16 years or so were absolutely..a pciture of happiness and warmth. Well I call those 'The Golden Years' - as above. - Mamie was cute as the little doll she had -THAT LOOKED JUST LIKE HER AND SAME SIZE ! - You should see the photo, 'sitting' side-by-side with the doll, and same 'knit hat' - just like 'daddy' before going out into the wild woods for winter work - you know how kids as toddlers expecially copy both their parents intermittently ? Well all three of us - in our first (and "best") home - owned before us by a Grandmother widow, and it allways felt like a 'grandma's house' - in the best of senses. Warm, love-filled feeling. Oddly - our next house - as I moved up the ladder in my career -was huge by comparison, I had it built with some features Merry allways wanted - glass-blocks, etc. I it was a beautiful house, but I am quite sure the reason it did not compare with our first was that was where we had 'Hospital House' . Well, in all truthfullness - the following 12 years were frought with a brave stand against the worst combination of illnesses, operations, acccidents, etc etc, and I'll never know how we got throught it... well, yes... I do.... ;) Anyway Patti- I'd be happy to tell you more detail in a PM. The players can get a bit ancy - a 'new ten' is due now :) . and I lose 'em if I blabberty too much, some of 'em anyway - some of the best ! So I dare not lose 'em ! Please send me a reminder PM, and I'll tell you a an 'old Grandpa's' tale of intrigue from the 'CHEST' ???? !!!! - Thank You Patti - for some of the kindest posts I have recieved in here. I must to some extent minimize -MY BLABBER MOUTH - not your - don't ever hesitate to post, please, just know I might respond in PM to keep my eye on the ball ! :headbang: |

formerlylavender submits, an even beter case with: Q373 - ... west ... Seven Island Suite Her lyrics submitted that work very well from Seven Islands Suite :headbang: "Seven islands to the high side of the bay if you're looking west" I add just the next line to hers since we all love the song so much :clap: it seems: Seven islands to the high side of the bay if you're looking west To the sunset you can see it, all in fiery autumn dress It seems - ONLY Lightfoot can convey the entire image, feel, sights, sounds, fragrance of Autumn, feel of the leaves crunching underfoot, etc. - an entire Autumn sunset painting given life and legs by The Man, with blazing beautful leaves quite that way - unbelievable, yes- genius, but more than sheer intellect - the gift of song writing which knows no intellect as a pre-requisite - but Lightfoot's particular brand of genius has been observed many times in corfid - his powerful command of the English language as we've commented here and there, he has to be a well-read man, quietly, w/o public self-congratulation. Here anyway- As all true genius IMO - needs no expression thereof, the proof is inthe results. That, with what, as an American, I can only assume is a Canadian's closer tie to the Queen's English - which I'll vouch first I believe - we are much farther from (as in American English is farther from) - The language from England, vis by the language in America - with back-formations, myriad various debaucheries, from mis-spelled contractions or statements often heard from Queen's English - such as: 'why that's Bloody good' has been theorized by English specialists as having come from (bloody) - a contraction of 'By our Lady'. - say it fast, and one can imagine the 'bloody' adjective we associate with "English from England's" origins - any British in the viewing audience care to comment or correct - please do so, quite welcome ! Our various colloquial and even smaller subsets of small regions - even neighborhood coloquialisms, from which we have established regional dialect bearing little in common I'm sure with the Queen's English... please comment any British folk or etylmologists in the readership - the views in this thread are over 13,000 (as opposed to posts now just over 1,000 )suggest greater than than ten-to-one interraction in the thread as being non-participatory viewers - which are very, very welcome, in all ways -any British among you wish to comment on American English debauchery of The Queen's ? :) either 'viewers only' or players are welcome to comment on this above American's belief in variations from the original Queen's English we have in various forms around the country - indeed around the block in the case of enclaves all comments are welcome - and what of corblimey ? I can look it up on various websites, but a British person's take is far more of interest. OK then- moving on to the next post - Thank you so much for playing again f. Lavender ... :headbang: I'll post it in the X-files,corblimey ! |

Here is more I copied and am pasting here, advisedly not putting in to a hopefully clearer reply to Ron, somewhat, anyway, by virtue of moving the following into this post, shamelessly - but at least OUT of a reply lol OH - BTW - before I post my SHAMELESS PLUG (i.e more of same) PLEASE NOTE THAT ENJOYABLE NON-LYRICS TALK OF MORE THAN 1" HEIGHT ON -SCREEN - I am trying to move them (mine-only of course) out of here, before being asked too ..lol and am plopping them gradually into Corfid.cafe. INCLUDING ( What was in the treaure/trunk/chest ? Q & A) It'll be in a day or so, maybe later tonight, in corfid.cafe - for PATTI and LYNN and CAN'T REMEMBER lol who asked - at least Patti I know... well please help this move prove to be benefical by following me into that cafe space where we can talk unlimited amounts w/o causing visual discontinuity in this lyrics game ! That was 1/2 of my reasoning - the other half was pure friendly talk for what-have-you and even what-not ! If that's not specific I don't know what is ! (YOU DON'T, STEVE -yells the peanut gallery lol.....) Shameless Plug: -please do -come into Small-Talk> Corfid-cafe again, any and all who would otherwise enjoy discussing off-thread things remaining open - as in the "what was in the trunk/mystery chest ?" - line a day or two ago.! Come in the cafe, try and catch one-another - or simply leave the post there - and I'll pick up on it. I truly do appreciate it. It also represents a good thing for this thread's visual continuity as I said, sorry to repeat-peat - to move longer talketies of mine and willing participants lol to the cafe - ME being the greater in length poster of Blabberty-blab - so follow me all into a land of notions - whatever is on your mind, see If Anyone Is Home in that post made of Stone lol....- Corfid-cafe - OK enough with the good-intentions plug - it'll hopefully clear-up the eye-popping prior discontinuity (for the game specific-posts) into a hopefully easier to track continuity - and by noting the above several on-thread responses -I believe that and/or the mini-catch-up might be just starting to help .. ?, after the mini-catch-up - I do believe it may JUST be starting to work.

'tseeer: Does Q368 .... strangers .... = 'All The Lovely Ladies' ? - You betcha - a totally-valid ambig - FYI intended was 'Can't Depend On Love' . Well played, Ron. I'll post yours in what will close-down the mini-progress list, post and wrap-up the X-files - and finish our 10 all-together. If I can stay awake, I'll post 10 new ones, we'll see. But I'm with you. lets brings this last dogie into the rope-pen huh ? OK then. Hope to see you in the corfid-cafe again. I came real -close to real-time when Char re-appeared, as did I, and I was one minute away from catching her B4 logging out - I was trying to hurriedly but politely finsh a phone call with a local friend. Oh well. It'll come along. Who knows - c'est la vie. Thanks for playing, Ron. You sure turned in a 3-banger this time - there is such a thing too- My Old Subaru Justy 3-cylinder ! (little hatchback mini-car) with the world's 2nd continuously-variable transmission - no gears, - but a sliding in and out one inside the other, creating an angular hour-glass geometry if you will, of varying radii, and a electro-magnetically charged electro-magnet drive chain - only 3 (three !!!) moving parts in it. The workd's first CVT (not electric) in assembly-line cars was the Sunbeam Alpine Convertible - (Get Smart's first red TV car) rare collector's car now - but it had a failure-guaranteed rubber drive belt off of its variable radii arrangement. One rotisserie-restored now'd bring $50 -60K I've read. I guess I shoulda kept the Sube in a nitrogen-filled room, and sell it now lol ! That ECVT was an amazing piece of engineering. Picture selecting a healthy RPM level you want, by how hard you pressed the gas - the RPM's would go up as well as power at the flywheel of course, and say you choose 3,800 RPM for 0-45 MPH, staying at 3800 RPM the whole time - weird - very weird, then onto the on-ramp to the interstate, you nail it to a govener-controlled max RPM anyway, but you modestly pick 4700 RPM onto the on ramp for 45-75 MPH - smooth maximum RPM HP curve if you want, and then it automatically slides back down at your chosen continuous speed, say now at 75MPH, and the steel cones slide down to the lowest RPM power band range that will hold the speed, at minimum gas consumption. It was rated better MPG than its stick manual version (38hwy). I got the new car with 2 dealers counter bidding lol ..... so out the door, I get a new 4wd Just with the ECVT tranny, air-conditioning, CD sound system, and airbags and ABS brakes, ,AND the 100,000 mile/6year Bumper-to-bumper warranty -everything but expendables, -Zero deductible - out the door for (true) $10,300.- everything . MSRP was $12,200,(this was in '93) w/o the warranty - another $900 -but it WAS included in the out-the-door price. Last day of the year - 12/31 -!! you can figuee that one out ! Well-worth-it on an experimental tranny - and sure as hell the little wonder tranny did go out - had it R&R'd once, then at the 5 years + mark, impending warranty term, and it was developing in its 5th year every known electrical problem, until they said it needed an entire new wiring harness - a $1,500 repair - covered just in under warranty - I got my money's worth. Continued to have inexplicable electrical failures as the term loomed on the warranty, so I traded it in at the dealer who had the exact Legacy Wagon I wanted - an "Outback" w/o the silly Outback package - $2,000 worth of stickers, PLASTIC body kick-panels all the way around the sides - you've seen 'em, 1/4"greater radius rims, which , all tires for a moment the same, would produce 1/4" greater ground clearance for off-road (schyeaaah)-NOT antics, interior upgrade more cup holders ! Yeah I'm paying $2,000 more for plastic door panels, 1/4" greater ground clearance, skid plates (You'd be a madman to take what really is a family wagon - not a stout-frame real off-road UTE , where on roads made of 1 ft. diameter mini-boulders, you need a wheel-drop man watching your every tire-drop by standing outside and watching every wheel plant....I love Subaru's, but I'd never chose to get stuck 15 Miles out thinking its a "sport-ute" lol....and crunch there goes your differential - forget the skid-plates- bottom line offroad for clearance are the differentials in my experience with a '76 CJ5. Last good year many said. OK I'm real tired now. lol This post'll definately get moved over into corfid.cafe. Thanks, Ron. You brought home the last dohgie. |

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
HERE ARE TEN NEW CLUES ! , @ 12:00 midnight. Mtn. Std.,Wed.,Feb. 18th, 2009 !
HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE - ITS A 'THEME'-LIST. THIS TIME THE 'BROAD-BRIMMED ERA' AS ONE JOUNALIST DESCRIBED GORDON AS HAVING - AND IN A COMPLIMENTARY WAY HE SAID IT; IN THAT THEY ARE -ONLY- FROM DON QUIXOTE TO COLD ON THE SHOULDER, AND INCLUDING......GG1, STRICTLY 'RELEASED' FROM '72 - '75 = : Don Q., ODR, SUNDOWN, COTS, GG1 - THAT'S IT -!- If in doubt - Lightfoot.ca has the year of releases that the preceeding 5 albums agree with in time span '72 - '75 per lightfoot.ca = above albums :) ALL OTHER SECONDARY LABELS SUCH AS UA IN THIS TIME ARE NOT INCLUDED. THE ONLY COMPILATION IS GG1 FOR THIS TEN. REMEMBER THE GG1 LP 1ST DISC - ARE RE-RECORDED SELECT UA PERIOD - WITH HIS '74 "SOUND" AS ITS BEEN DESCRIBED. THEY ARE INCLUDED. ON THAT DOUBLE-ALBUM - 1 SONG IS FROM THE UA PERIOD, ANOTHER...IS NOT, BUT ARE PRE'72 ON BOTH GG1 SONGS. HAVE FUN ! HINT: I HAVE SELECTED SOME OF MY PERSONAL FAVOURITES THAT ARE....SECONDARY SONGS IN THE ALBUM 'EXPERIENCE' , WHICH Yuri SAID SO WELL, THE SONGS I CHOSE ARE ALSO AMONG THE MORE MELODIUS, MORE RESTFUL, BEAUTIFUL-BEAUTIFUL SONGS. THEY TEND NOT TO BE THE 'HITS', AND THEREFOR I CALL THEM 'SECONDARY SONGS' - BUT CERTAINLY OF NO LESS BEAUTY OR STATURE OF THE HITS SONGS, THERE MAY BE A HIT OR TWO, FROM SOME TIME OR ANOTHER, AND THE ...CLUE WORDS I CHOSE MAY NOT BE DEFINATIVE, FIRST THOUGHT, FIRST SONG THAT COMES TO MIND. AS WE ALL KNOW BY NOW, HE HAS RECURRING THEMES - AND CORRESPONDING WORDS THAT, AS KEFERA SAID WELL , ARE AMONG HIS LITERARY DEVICES FOR METAPHORS OR...LOST LOVE AS GHOSTS, THATS HIS LITERARY METAPHOR, AS KEFERA SAID. I WOULD ADD TO GHOSTS MY FINDING OF THE WORD 'CHAINS' IS ANOTHER RECURRING METAPOR IMO. I THINK IF ONE WORD HAD TO BE PICKED OF THE SONGS THAT DEFINES THEM, I WOULD SAY AMONG THE MOST 'BEAUTIFUL' SONGS. THATS NOT AN OBSCURE IMBEDDED HINT, ITS ONLY WHAT I CAN REDUCE TO ONE WORD THAT TIES MY CHOICES TOGETHER, SUBJECTIVE TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU COUYLD ALSO SAY OF MY CHOICES THAT MOST ARE NOT THE HITS. MAYBE ONE OR TWO PEPPERED IN THERE, FOR MY TIE THAT BINDS MY CHOICES - ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MELODIES, AND GORD'S SINGING AS WELL, WHEN HE QUICKDRAWS THAT PERFECTLY CHOSEN TIME TO EXECUTE HIS MASTERFUL VIBRATO, AND WHEN NOT TOO, THAT SEEMS TO DEFINE THIS TIME PERIOD FOR ME. MAJOR REQUIREMENT THIS TIME ONLY - YOU MUST COME UP WITH THE INTENDED SONG, WHICH I KNOW IS HARDER TO DO, THERE WILL BE MANY REPLIES BY ME LIKE "GOOD CHOICE, (McDUFF... ), BUT THATS NOT IT". THEN LOOK IN ANOTHER SONG FOR THOSE WORDS. THIS TIME, THEY QUITE LIKELY ARE NOT DEFINATIVE WORDS THAT DRAW YOU UNQUELY TO THAT SONG. IN EXCHANGE FOR THAT DIFFUCT REQUIREMENT, I WILL TELL YOU ONE MORE SUBSTANTIVE HINT - NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE 5 ALBUMS IN THIS TIME PERIOD - PER LIGHFOOT.CA - THE MAJOR RELEASES REMEMBER- NO FOREIGN OR OTHERWISE OBSCURE RELASES, THEY ARE THE 'MAIN20' + GG1, AND FOR TEN CLUES, THERE ARE 5 RELEASES (ALBUMS STILL IN THAT DAY) FROM EACH ALBUM/DOUBLE ALBUM. MOREOVER -I CONVENIENTLY FOR YOU CHOSE EXACTLY TWO FROM EACH ALBUM OR DOUBLE-ALBUM AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND THE SONGS, OF MY CHOICES, I WOULD SAY 8 OR SO ARE -NOT- HIS MAJOR SONGS/HITS/ TITLE CUTS/OR MOST WELL KNOWN SONGS AT ALL - NOT NECESSARILY, THERE MAYBE 2 OR 3 THAT ARE. SO WHILE THIS SEEMS DIFFICULT TO TRY, IT IS ONLY TEN ALBUMS, AND YOU KNOW MANY SONGS TO RULE OUT BY WHAT I TOLD YOU. YOU MAY BE SURPRISED THE WORDS I CHOSE THAT WOULD FIRST MAKE YOU THINK OF ANOTHER SONG RIGHT AWAY - ....ODDS ARE...ITS NOT THAT SONG...ITS A LESSER KNOW ONE.. I DO HOPE THIS HAS BEEN OF HELP. - Steve ================================================ =========== REMEMBER...THE THEME TIME PERIOD GG1 1st half - transcends the time period in UA original, but re-recorded in '75 Q376 Deck .... - X mandoann gets it with 'Circle of Steel' Q377 .... stem .... Q378 .... dawn === REMAINS UNANSWERED, Patriot's Dream tried, not it. Q379 .... mind .... Q380 Whishing .... Q381 .... rain.... Q382 .... chains Q383 .... think .... Q384 .... river Q385 Another .... === REMAINS UNANSWERED, 'Ordinary Man' tried, not it. ================================================== ======== All songs written by: Gordon Lightfoot . HAVE FUN !! POSTED 12 midnight, Mtn. Std. Time,Wed., Feb 18th,'09 ENJOY ! :headbang: :clap: :cool: |

Various abbreviations of formerlyLavender I ran through a few in my head - and most I could think of sound kind of unflattering or in poor taste/unpleasant connotations what have you - form, nope. Lav - nope. vender lol -nope. Any thoughts ?, or keep 'er as is, is just fine of course. OK 'tseeeer: Q378 .... dawn = 'The Patriot's Dream' - well, its a fine ambig - works just fine for any regular list; it just misses the mark on one count - its not the intended song. I'll know in a few submissions if the ambiguity willl be a major difficulty, in which case I'll come back and add 2nd clues to the lost, ot if my idea of this list is a flop, well I'll just go back and award it to the first ambigs that work - in which case - were that to happen, you'd get this one :) Sorry formerly, good crack at it,:clap: |
