Same here. Just listened to it last weekWreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of my favorites.
perfect description.... where do you come up with such a thorough flow of thoughts?'If You Could Read My Mind' is - like Stairway to Heaven, More Than a Feeling & Bohemian Rhapsody, Your Song, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Bach's Prelude in C Major and a bare handful of others - a perfect song. Detailed analysis reveals complexities most listeners don't notice, while the arrangement, musical details, musicianship and lyrics are flawless and and cannot be improved...by anyone.
When a song flows so smoothly that it is like something that grew in nature rather than created by people, or betrays it's complexity by appearing simple because it demands no work from your ears, heart, mind or soul as it occupies all those things, then....that is a perfect song. Gordon was one of the most gifted singer-songwriters ever, from anywhere - five decades of Gold.
