Luyện nghe bài hát Lightfoot (narration)

Listening to that now,
there are two words immediately come to mind
Lightfoot
As Mark Twain said, all are second hand
either conciously or
Oscar put it this way,
Imitation is the sincerest form of
that can pay to greatness

Whatever you call it, there's no other way to your craft
than by imitating
Ask Bob Dylan about Woody Guthrie or Beyonce about Turner
is just the way the process works
You admire somebody then you try to emulate them but
for a

The trick is to find own style, sound or voice
And that comes your natural talent, your work ethic
and still luck

So if you think you hear a little, let me that,
a lot of Gordan Lightfoot in songs, congratulations
You're correct, he was the greatness my mediocrity to emulate

It wasn't until four years ago I really got to thinking
I was lucky enough to be in Toronto when Gordan played Hall
the place I always heard you had to see
Where we spent a delightful visit backstage the show
I got around to awkwardly thanking him for his inspiration
His was what you might think it would be
He you seem to be doing pretty well Jimmy, just pass that on
That's a act

So if you're lucky and work hard enough, you eventually
a style of your own
Then if you're really lucky and work really hard your own style
something others follow
Gordan was my guide though the woods
It's one of the unique and pretty cool parts about successful
Inspiring others, which is what Gordan did for me
Now I'm not blind to the fact that there are singers and
songwriters out there who pattern work after mine
I'm fine with that
So here's a lightfoot that was a
big hit in the Corner in those
Mobile
Thank You Gordan and I pass it on
