Clouds Of Loneliness

Gordon Lightfoot

Transposer:

Intro: verse 1: What can you do you’ll never win Where will you go when night closes in Where will it lead will it ever end Where will it stop losing a friend isn’t What we had in mind exactly All we need is a friend I guess With my midnight star to guide through Clouds of loneliness verse 2: You knew someone but was it love So many years push came to shove You had a dream so they had one too You turned away they were untrue in our Early days we were too willing At the time we had yet to arrive Many a man and woman found Trying to stay alive Instrumental: verse 3: Where will you go what will you do When your whole world ain’t talking to you Maybe you think you will see the light Maybe you’ll find what you hope is right And I’m all dressed up to be somebody All I need is a friendly face With my midnight crowd to glide through Clouds of empty space INTERLUDE: verse 4: Seems like every time we turn around What we see could be anyone’s guess Many a man and woman found in Clouds of loneliness OUTRO:

Cette chanson évoque les sentiments de solitude et de perte que l'on ressent parfois dans les relations humaines. Elle parle de l'incertitude et des questions qui se posent lorsque les liens se distendent, laissant un vide émotionnel. L'idée de chercher une amitié sincère dans des moments difficiles ressort, tout comme le désir de trouver un sens et une lumière au milieu des épreuves. Le contexte semble tourner autour des désillusions amoureuses et des rêves non réalisés. Ce parcours, où l'on oscille entre espoir et désespoir, évoque une quête de connexion authentique dans un monde où les interactions peuvent sembler éphémères et superficielles. Les rencontres, souvent teintées de nostalgie, illustrent la lutte pour naviguer à travers ces « nuages de solitude ».
