It's so weird to see this, because I have this theory. The Edmund Fitzgerald is haunting me. I don't watch much tv or listen to the radio very often, and it seems like every time I turn on one or the other, there is a tv special or the song is on. Virtually every time. Now I turn on my computer and see this. Coincidence? I think not...

It is a great song, though.

Lake Huron rolls Superior sings, in the ruins of her icewater mansion, old Michigan steams like a young man dreams
the islands and bays are for sportsman ...

usually get goose-bumps during that verse

my uncle was on another freighter 15 miles ahead of the fitz. they went on a search the next day and found one of the lifeboats. He said he had never seen a worse storm.

I was lucky enough years ago to see Gordon Lightfoot in concert.When he sang that song the lights went down and he was only in spotlight.By time he was halfway through I was covered in goosebumps. It was something special that's for sure
