| |  | Unchained Melody Tag
03:47
Thank you for tagging me JessicaPeanut! First, I tag NewtsNook, if she hasn't already been tagged. ;) I really enjoyed this tag, because this is one more...of my all-time favourite love songs, as I'm sure it is for many, many people. Just a bit of trivia -- Unchained Melody has been recorded by over 670 different artists, and the rights to this beautiful song are owned by Sir Paul McCartney. less

|  | Brave Mountaineers
03:39
This Gordon Lightfoot song took me back to the summers of my childhood that were spent on my Uncle’s farm. “We never were much bothered by time” as children, more...but as adults, we are all encumbered by the clock, the marching on of time, and we look fondly back on the simpler days of our youth.
Brave Mountaineers (Don Quixote) 3:30
Born in the country and I like that country smile
Of the little girls and boys, they remind me of a child
That I knew and a big harvest moon
That shon' by suppertime in the dusty afternoon
And I need to be there
When the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time
Born in the country and I like that country song
We played for just a nickel every time we got to town
And I bought you a dime diamond ring
In the hayloft we would play, we were princesses and kings
And I need to be there
When the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time
Born in the country and I like that country way
Of the uncles and the cousins and the card games they would play
While the young ones slept overhead
Beneath the quilts that mother made, when all the prayers were said
And I need to be there
When the autumn wind goes whistlin' through the trestle we would climb
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time
And I need to be there
When the world gets too heavy and the shadows cross my mind
Like brave mountaineers
We never were much bothered by time

| |  | On Susan's Floor
03:46
This is one of a few songs that Gordon Lightfoot recorded but did not write. This song is also based on fact. "Susan" was Susan Brewer, a lady who opened more...her home to some of the "outlaw" artists of the 60's.
On Susan's Floor (Don Quixote) 2:55
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor
Didn't feel so cold and tired
Stretched out before her fire
Rollin' smokes and drinkin' up her wine
And I remember candlelight
And singing 'til we could not sing no more
Then fallin' warm asleep on Susan's floor
Well now that my song is sweeter
I think I'd like to greet her
And thank her for the favors that she gave
A stranger I came
My head bowed in the rain to her door
I sat and sang my songs on Susan's floor
In the mornin' I'd go on
Buyin' kingdoms with my songs
Knowin' I'd be back in just a while
Warm in the sunlight of her smile
Well lots of time and songs have passed
I catch myself just looking back
Reliving all the wonder of those nights
That's where I'd be today
If I had only stayed one night more
And sang another song on Susan's floor
Like crippled ships that made it
Through a storm and finally reached a quiet shore
The homeless found a home on Susan's floor

|  | Affair On 8th Avenue
03:29
This one's been high on my list of favourite Lightfoot songs since the first time I heard it. The power of the sense of smell… Who hasn’t been transported more...back to a specific place and time just by the scent of something – fresh cut grass, home baking, perfume? A woman’s fragrance is carefully chosen to be memorable. Gordon Lightfoot attests to that with this beautiful song.
Affair On 8th Avenue (Back Here On Earth) 3:39
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night
Her long flowing hair came softly undone
And it lay all around
And she brushed it down as I stood by her side
In the warmth of her love
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And we played a game only she could win
And she told me a riddle I'll never forget
Then left with the answer I've never found yet
How long, said she, can a moment like this
Belong to someone
What's wrong, what is right, when to live or to die
We must almost be born
So if you should ask me what secrets I hide
I'm only your lover, don't make me decide
The perfume that she wore was from some little store
On the down side of town
But it lingered on long after she'd gone
I remember it well
And she showed me her treasures of paper and tin
And we played a game only she could win
And our fingers entwined like ribbons of light
And we came through a doorway somewhere in the night

| |  | Gifts From My Parents' Backyard
04:37
I want to share with you a place I truly love. It's on the Bruce Penninsula, between Lake Huron and Georgian Bay. I always dread the 7-7 1/2 hour drive, more...but once I get there and get outside with my camera, the weary traveller disappears and is replaced by the nature lover. You'll see why. Welcome to my Parents' backyard. This one stars, in no particular order: Monarch Butterfly, Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, Chipping Sparrow, Chickadees, Rose-Breasted Nuthatches, Red Squirrel, Cottontail Rabbit, Chipmunks, Hairy Woodpecker, Robins, and the Bluejay. less

|  | The Gray Tree Frog
02:35
I put this video together for TheChildrensTable, and those of us not afraid to admit a fascination with the gifts that Mother Nature has given us. A more...year ago, we met our first Grey Tree Frog, Pudge, when he clung to the window beside our front door. This spring, he was joined by Spout, who was found in the downspout of the eaves trough of our shed. A tree branch to sit on, dirt and moss to burrow in, clean, springwater to soak in with an occasional spray bottle shower, and a supply of crickets keeps them healthy and happy. less

| |  | Now And Then
03:16
“Now And Then” is another wonderful song from Gordon Lightfoot. This one explores the difficulty of ending a relationship when the head knows it’s time more...to leave, but the heart still holds that flicker of hope that the love that was once there will once again see it through.

Now And Then (Cold On The Shoulder) 3:09
I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place
Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Let us just pretend a while
Think about the good things now and then
I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school
Two of us could not be wrong
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so strange
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Take away the in-between
Think about the good things now and then
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end
Let us just pretend a while
And think about the good things now and then less

|  | Ribbon of Darkness
02:45
I'm sure many of us can identify with the feeling of darkness and despair that results from a lost love. Thankfully, things have a way of working out, more...just as dark clouds and storms eventually move on.
Ribbon Of Darkness (Lightfoot!) 2:42
Ribbon of darkness over me
Since my true love walked out the door
Tears I never had before
Ribbon of darkness over me
Clouds a-gatherin' o'er my head
That kill the day and hide the sun
That shroud the night when day is done
Ribbon of darkness over me
Rain is falling on the meadow
Where once my love and I did lie
Now she is gone from the meadow
My love goodbye
Ribbon of darkness over me
Where once the world was young as spring
Where flowers did bloom and birds did sing
Ribbon of darkness over me
Here in this cold room lyin'
Don't want to see no one but you
Lord I wish I could be dyin'
To forget you
Oh how I wish your heart could see
How mine just aches and breaks all day
Come on home and take away
This ribbon of darkness over me

|  | Let It Snow - for Surfcottage
02:10
It's not every day that you meet someone who prefers the snowy days of winter over the summer's sun, but Surfcottage is one such person. I hope this more...helps her beat the heat by thinking cool thoughts. Unfortunately, winter will be here before we know it! ;) xoxoxo
Most of the pics are from winters in Ontario and Quebec, and of Vernon, BC's "Silver Star" ski resort.
Also, this is a "Snow Tag"!! I've tagged JUSTCALLMEHU and RhiannonRose, so watch for their wintry vids soon and get your snowy pics ready! Blame Surfcottage! ;) lol

03:06
TheCoffeeHouse is expertly owned and operated by two of the nicest ladies on LV, CH1 and CH2, our favorite baristas. They make their rounds, watching more...vids and delivering steaming cups of coffee or tea made just the way we like it! This is my thanks to them for brightening the days of so many LVidians. The song is "Java Jive" by the Ink Spots, (1940). less

|  | Alhambra
04:32
This piece of music, “Memories of Alhambra” by Francisco Tarrega, is played here by Canadian, Manfred Harter, whom I have had the pleasure to meet and more...who has played many wonderful arrangements for me. I knew nothing of the Alhambra, but as was the case with a previous piece of Manfred’s music, “Mystery of Tikal”, I wanted to know what it was that attracted him to this piece.
The Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex in southern Spain. It sits on a hilly terrace on the southeastern border of the city of Granada. Once the residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and their court, it was designed to reflect the very beauty of Paradise itself, with its gardens, fountains, streams, palace, and a mosque, all inside a fortress wall. It is now one of Spain's major tourist attractions and on my "Bucket List" -- those special things to see or do before I die. ;) less
