dct:abstract

%22Early Morning Rain%22 (sometimes %22Early Mornin' Rain%22) is a song composed and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. The song appears on his debut album Lightfoot! (1966) and in a re-recorded version on the 1975 compilation Gord's Gold.Lightfoot composed the song in 1964, but the genesis of the song took root during his sojourn in Westlake, Los Angeles during 1960. During this time Lightfoot became homesick and used to go out to the Los Angeles airport on rainy days to watch the approach of the aircraft. The imagery of the flights taking off into the overcast sky was still with him when in 1964, about five years later he was babysitting his 5-month-old baby son and he thought “I’ll put him over here in his crib, and I’ll write myself a tune.” %22Early Morning Rain%22 was the result. The general narrative of the song can be taken as a sort of jet-age musical allegory to a hobo of yesteryear lurking around a railroad yard attempting to surreptitiously board and ride a freight train home. Lightfoot reflects that being able to capture this narrative was due to his steady improvement as a song writer.
