People who love being gutted by listening to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald will very possibly also like Flowers of Bermuda by Stan Rogers.
Sometimes I can listen to it, sometimes it destroys me.

2012 Legends – The Edmund Fitzgerald
In 2012, Legends Drum and Bugle Corps form Kalamazoo, Michigan, performed a show about the Edmund Fitzgerald.

“In recounting the sinking of the SS #EdmundFitzgerald during a storm on Lake Superior on the night of November 10, 1975, #Lightfoot immortalized a modern tragedy at a time when its pain was still keenly felt.” www.guitarplayer.com/music/albums... #GordonLightfoot #music #MusicSky

"Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings
In the rooms of her ice-water mansion..."Goddess, so many lines that spark shivers, tears, or both!
It's an absolute masterpiece. Just amazing. 3/3

A few examples:
"The lake it, is said, never gives up her dead"
"That good ship and crew was a bone to be chewed
when the gales of November came early""The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale sound"
"Does anyone know where the love of God goes
when the waves turn the minutes to hours?""The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay
if they'd put fifteen more miles behind her." 2/3#EdmundFitzgerald #WreckOfTheEdmundFitzgerald #GordonLightfoot #music

Listening to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (and raising a glass to the lost lives) and reading along with the lyrics.
Great high holy hell, Gordon Lightfoot knocked this entire thing *out of the park!* The guitars make you feel like you're out on the waves in a lonely and ominous wind, and practically every verse has at least 2 bits of heart-stopping poetry that'd be the crown jewel of any other song. 1/3

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a 1976 #hitSong written, composed and performed by the Canadian singer-songwriter #GordonLightfoot to memorialize the sinking of the bulk carrier SS #EdmundFitzgerald in #LakeSuperior on November 10, 1975. Lightfoot considered this song to be his finest work. Appearing originally on his 1976 album #SummertimeDream, Lightfoot re-recorded the song in 1988 for the compilation album #GordsGoldVol2.

Gordon
In the realm of music, Gordie Tapp was the first Canadian Gordon who made it big. He was in the country field. Indeed, he was a regular on the country show, Hee Haw. He only had a couple hits because he was more of an entertainer, emcee, broadcaster and writer.
Gordon Lightfoot is the most famous Canadian Gordon musician. With mega hits like Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind, Lightfoot was known world wide and had a huge fan base. Was he folk, country, or rock? No one could really tell but he didn’t need to say, he was just a singer/songwriter that wheedled his way into the hearts and minds of many people.
Gord Deppe is the main songwriter and singer/guitarist for the Canadian rock band The Spoons. They had the hits Nova Heart, Romantic Traffic and Those Old Emotions. He’s also been known to play guitar for Flock of Seagulls.
Gord Downie was the lead singer and lyricist for the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip. He led the band through most of their existence and even put out some of his own solo work. He died tragically in 2017 of terminal brain cancer.
Probably all you non Canadians figure that there must be a lot of Canadian Gordons since so many are successful musicians. But that’s just not true. I’ve lived my whole 57 years in Canada and have just personally known 1 Gordon. He was a teacher of mine.
So this famous Canadian musician thing that the Gordons have is a statistical anomaly.
In the very early nineties, the Canadian rock band the Bare Naked Ladies seemed to be doing everything right. Their shock name got the attention of nearly everyone, they had two lead singers and had an album’s worth of songs including 4 or 5 that were ear worms. All they needed was a good album title and perhaps they could guarantee success.
They decided to play it conservatively and went with the name Gordon, simply based on how popular Canadians named Gordon seemed to be in pop. They contrived themselves into a successful release and the rest is history for the band.

I wanted to post a Gordon Lightfoot song, so I listened to several, trying to avoid the obvious choice. I ended up going with the obvious choice. “If You Could Read My Mind” has always been a favorite, though I’ve never played it before. #gordonlightfoot #ripgordonlightfoot #canadianfolkmusic #singersongwriter #ifyoucouldreadmymind https://youtu.be/jqYQDrjPS24

Even though he was the quintessential #Canadian songwriter, #GordonLightfoot sang about #LakeSuperior, so I feel like #Minnesotans who love the big lake have a connection to him too.

So fascinating."Michigama" got me thinking about "Gitche Gumee" (which is "Lake Superior" in my colonizer language).
"gichi-gami" is the Ojibwe name and it means "great sea."
"Gitche(e) Gumee" is referenced both in the song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot and "Song of Hiawatha" By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Thank you for the history lesson. I appreciate it very much.
