Read or print original Did She Mention My Name lyrics 2019 updated! It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day, And talk. Songwriters: GORDON LIGHTFOOT.

Is the landlord still a loser, do his signs hang in the hall Are the young girls still as pretty in the city in the fall Does the laughter on their faces still put the sun to shame And by the way, did she mention my name. Did she mention my name just in passing And when the talk ran high, did the look in her eye seem far away Is the old roof still leaking when the late snow turns to rain And by the way, did she mention my name

Did She Mention My Name. This song is by Gordon Lightfoot and appears on the album Did She Mention My Name (1968) and on the compilation album Songbook (1999)

Every '60s singer-songwriter of note expanded their instrumental approach as time went on, and Lightfoot was no exception. For his third album, he worked with John Simon (who would handle the Band and Big Brother), and occasionally used low-key orchestration. Though a tad more erratic than his earlier efforts, his songwriting remained remarkably consistent.

Zut

It wasn't until "Back Here on Earth"--Gordon Lightfoot's fourth and final album for United Artists--that he began to forge his mature sound, but each of the three preceding albums is interesting in its own right. "Lightfoot!", the first, contains some great individual songs but comes off as a little too aw-shucks folky; "The Way I Feel" is the best of the four UA albums, with consistently strong songwriting and just enough embellishment from the backing musicians. "Did She Mention My Name?", unfortunately, is all over the map. Sometimes it sounds like latter-day Monkees, sometimes it sounds like Muzak with a vocal tacked on as an afterthought; only occasionally does it sound like Lightfoot himself. There are some powerful songs (the title track, 'Black Day in July', 'Boss Man') but too much of the album relies on producer John Simon's cumbersome orchestration, and the tracks steeped most heavily in strings and woodwinds seem to be sketches rather than fully-fledged songs, serving merely as nails on which to hang Simon's baroque arrangements. (Even the lyrics, full of languid references to rain-drenched forests and wood fires a-blazing, appear to have been written with swollen orchestration in mind.) The overall impression is one of decadent bonelessness, a strange departure from Lightfoot's customarily direct, unpretentious approach. Two and a half stars. (There is one apparently experimental track, 'Something Very Special', in whose favor the heavy string arrangements actually work. Constructed around a single, minimal chord change, the song relates the eerie tale of a long-departed lover as an increasingly uneasy clatter of instruments shifts and swells beneath Lightfoot's voice--suggesting that perhaps there's a ghostly element to the story which the narrator himself only faintly suspects. This one wouldn't have sounded out of place in a film like "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" or an episode of Rod Serling's "Night Gallery".)

I wonder if this LP was ever released in the USA or Canada in mono? If so, I've never seen either.

Hi_Jacker

Gord's 1968 masterpiece is lushly rendered with a wonderful stereo mix. 'Black Day In July' in particular is a standout on this fantastically mastered & pressed LP.

Bloodray

Not quite as accessible as earlier Lightfoot albums as the orchestrations seem to smother some of the songs on occasion. Some great tracks though all the same. The title track is a classic as is 'Boss Man' and 'The Last time I saw her'. Watch out for later pressings which often abridge the album.

The Liberty Capitol Canada budget reissue LP I have, has all 12 songs from the original 1968 United Artists Canada LP. The copy I have was cut @ The Lacquer Channel (TLC) in Toronto. The LP was manufactured @ Cinram (CR). I'm wondering the CBS Canada, received their lacquers from Columbia House U.S., or maybe the track listing in the above entry is incorrect, as it is with a couple of other Lilberty, Capitol Canada, Gordon LIghtfoot reissue LPs listed on this Web site.
