KARAOKE SCENE MAGAZINE ONLINE! - Starlyter - Brad performs If You Could Read My Mind on Karaoke Showcase - Lightfoot cited his divorce for inspiring the lyrics. They came to him as he was sitting in a vacant Toronto house one summer. The song compares events in his relationship to a ghost movie and a paperback romance novel. The lyrics include "I don't know where we went wrong. But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back." At the request of his daughter Ingrid, he performed the lyrics with a slight change: The line "I'm just trying to understand the feelings that you lack" is altered to "I'm just trying to understand the feelings that we lack." Lightfoot said in an interview that the difficulty with writing songs inspired by personal stories is that there is not always the emotional distance and clarity to make lyrical improvements such as the one his daughter suggested.

Jerry I did read it and it didn't take long...is that all you got? Really? And, my word...the things among those tiny grey folds made ME blush. So, I promise to tell...too many...what I found. Love Lightfoot's catalog and this is a favorite to me. A terrific recording and wonderful listen.
Reply: Thank you so much Jerry. Oh, BTW, those grey folds were freshly folded sweatshirts in a bag with the doggy treats. I didn't know you were into those but to each their own. LOL ......Brad
