You are a Natural, Gord

Bedtime


Man, that’s a powerful track

[jonprice34]

So far after two listens my personal highlights are Safe is Dead, Love over money and you, me and the B's. I'm sure more will stand out as I listen to it more.

[thompson girl]

Anyone else besides me not going to listen to this one for a while? I still need time.

[clarke]

I did this with Secret Path, wanted to have something new and un-listened to in my back pocket to keep it alive.

I wouldn't mind having the mp3s of this until I get the vinyl in December... :o

I agree with you on this. December is so far away. I didn't noticed the December part until after I ordered.

You know why Gord Downie was so great?

He had the same feelings and experiences as the rest of us, and he sang about them in a more intelligent way than we ever could have.
I'm dying listening to this - a number of these stories and songs could have just come directly from my life, too.

Bedtime is so creative. I found myself trying to predict the next words because I could so relate to this song when my son was born. I'm 7 songs in. Off to lunch to listen to some more in my car. The album is quite mellow with no rockers yet. That's fine by me. Just happy to have new music.

[Chris Tanz]

Any lyrics posted anywhere yet? I love to read along on a first listen.

What makes this track so incredibly powerful is the universality of it - what parent hasn’t gone through that same event line by line

And for Gord to use that song as a statement on love is just so incredibly moving

Hard not to shed a tea on some of these tracks

I think that one is one of the best he’s ever done

[Zephyr5]

What a wonderful moving gift he left us. I have had it on Repeat the whole morning. Bedtime is poignant........so reminds me of the unconditional love of a parent in that they keep coming back, keep coming back...even if you're checking to see if they'll leave you. Totally takes me back to tucking in my own kids.

Far Away and Blurred is beautiful, haunting.

No lyrics included? I got it off of Apple and usually there is an option to download the liner notes or lyric booklet. Not here. Pity because I can't make out some of the lyrics and it would be nice to read them just as poems too.

[Jenna_Bird]

I got to Bedtime and had to call it quits. Sobbing at my desk. Jesus. I cannot imagine the pain of writing this album. I...God.

What a beautiful thing.

Love over money, we deafened the husband of the Queen of England
