| Gordon Lightfoot – Seven Island Suite Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| Good music will always solicite personal feelings and interpretation. There are some very interesting interpretations of this song here but it is actually very straight forward. Per GL's own admission the song was inspired by a fly-in fishing trip to Northern Ontario in 1967 where he stayed on a remote lake and was taken by a grouping of 7 small islands. The song is an ode to the beauty of nature and pleasures of leaving, if even just briefly, the complexities of the modern world behind. | |
