Gordie's musical genius is applauded by audiences and industry players alike. From his national debut in the early 90's to his presence today on the Nashville writing scene where international recording stars are discovering and recording his material including Faith Hill “Paris” , George Canyon “ My Name”, Keith Urban covering “The Hard Way” and “ You (or Somebody Like You) and the #1 Billboard single and Grammy winner by Carrie Underwood “Jesus Take The Wheel”.
Sampson’s certainly no stranger to the music scene. As a co-writer, guitarist and singer, Sampson played a key role in the Canadian Top 20 success of pop/rock band Realworld in the early 1990s. Gordie then shifted his attention to the more traditional music of his native Cape Breton Island and soon found himself working with the top traditional acts of the day. He continued to expand his horizons by working as musical director for stage and television productions and honing his skills in the studio.
Gordie’s fourth solo album titled “Almost Beautiful” is available now.

Gordie Sampson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Master creatures and make up for the world to see
Write it down in your black book, tuck it in, underneath your bed
Sit and read the last look
Do you freeze the frame and jump the train
But does it cross your mind?
Did I blow the cloud or worse is not enough for you
Sing it out, sing it loud now, do you mean fade, oh
All alone in the crowd now, I know all the lines
Girl, you lean like a needle, act it out like a movie scene
Sum it up in a sequel
Do you freeze the frame and jump the train
But does it cross your mind?
Did I blow the cloud or worse is not enough for you
To save the day, save the day
Do you freeze the frame and jump the train
But does it cross your mind?
Did I blow the cloud or worse is not enough for you
Do you freeze the frame and jump the train
But does it cross your mind?
Did I blow the cloud or worse is not enough for you
To save the day, save the day
Save the day, save the day
Save the day, the day
Save the day, save the day
Save the day
