Description
We discuss the real story behind Gordon Lightfoot's classic folk-rock song 'Sundown'. The haunting lyrics paint a picture of a man tormented by suspicion and jealousy, waiting for his lover to return as the sun goes down. The repeated line 'Sundown, you better take care' is a warning to himself and perhaps to her. The mellow sound contrasts sharply with the dark themes, making it a masterclass in storytelling through music.
