Absolutely shattering track.
Gord gently rocking all of us, leaving us in the crib with the news of his diagnosis like a bomb about to go off. A man with cancer maybe looking to make a quiet exit, but our eyes on him, watching him the whole time. Would he really leave us, could he just leave us? He comes back to rock us gently again with a new album, MMP, he comes back again to rock us more than gently with a cross-country tour so we can say our goodbyes. He comes back again to give us Secret Path and open our eyes a little wider, and open up his soul to us in interviews and public appearances because we can't just say goodbye to him. He goes to leave us again, and comes back again with news of Introduce Yerself. He backs out of the room, but can't even leave us like that. He has to give us this gift before he goes, so that really he never has to leave us.
And he ties it all to something that so many of us can relate to at such a basic, intimate level.
Absolutely shattering.
