"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics)

Remember that tune as an 11 year boy. Was creepy but a great song. R.I.P ,Gordon.

I used to hear this song on the radio as a little girl and it always sparked my imagination. Although in my mind the Edmund Fitzgerald was one of those sailing ships with tall masts all that, I always love this song. One day in summer school why I was in high school, we took a week-long camping trip through Minnesota. One of the stops we took was at Duluth Minnesota right at the mouth of the Great Lakes Superior and it was at a maritime museum there that I seen the model of the ship as it looks on the bottom of superior. It told me I needed to learn more. So I did I started reading up everything I could on it including the wonderful book Gales or November by Robert J Hennings I believe. This song is always been very magical to me

poor sods, they died because of greed. Its been happening for eons it seems like. Atleast with this last tragedy maybe us hoseheads can figure it out that profits aren't worth dead men

I was on this ship when it sank.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the Michigander anthem".

What 'till the drums kick in!

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes?" I do: nowhere. Btw: what a f..... masterpiece!

Sometimes GOD can't be found in time. Amen.🙏✝️🙏❤️

May your Uncle McSorley Rest In PEACE. It's a SHAME what happened in your family. A SONG in his HONOR was made for him and his crew! God bless you and yours. 🙏✝️🙏😎☮️❤️ Lucille

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?" is hauntingly profound, poetic, and beautiful..

I'm not religious, but I pray for them, "...and the wives, and the sons, and the daughters."

I read a few years ago that they'd stopped ringing the bell in the Maritime Sailor's Cathedral for some reason. How disrispectful !!

On the lyrics...... its the good ship and CREW was a bone to be chewed......not the good ship and true was a bone to be chewed

RIP Gordon Lightfoot, my brother and I love this song and play it every November, we are chippewa and Blackfoot Indian , The u.p is heritage, my happy place and always will be❤

I loved the genius of Bob Dylan music from Duluth. Birth name Zimmerman, carpenter in German. Borrowed from Dylan Thomas, from Wales, many ancestors.

Had friends from beautiful Thunder Bay and a large contour map of Isle Royale.

Always loved studying where the Canadian Shield comes down envelopes Lake Superior, none of the other Great Lakes so that song always haunted me.

Athanu donga tanam cheyadaniki pannulu veyyadaniki appulu cheyadaniki karanam anto telusa miru 3 pellillu cheskowadame miru 3 pellillu chesukokapoi unte special status wachedi polavaram purtayyedi rajdhani vachedi company lu vachedi udyog alu wachedi

I can't listen to this song without getting tears in my eyes godammit.
And I don't even know any sailors 🤷‍♂

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn minutes to hours."" What a haunting line.🙏

Rapist and narcissist.

Great Lakes shipping is a HUGE component of what sustains both the US and the Canadian economy. There are faster ways to move materials, but if you have to move tons and tons of stuff water transport is the most efficient, hands down. And yet, unless you work in the shipping industry there's hardly a reason to think about how all that freight gets where it needs to go. Or how dangerous getting it there can become in bad weather. It took a doomed voyage, and Gordon Lightfoot's lyricism and sober delivery, to push that reality into public awareness for a time.

Ohio / Michigan mid-west era had such tragedy in 1970s. This in 1975 and the Kent State shooting by the National Guard in Ohio in 1970, which lead to some VERY powerful songs.
