THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF MY GRANDADDY

Cathy "Silverbag" Smith

They say heaven is at the end but so far its been hell nothing hits harder than that i was born in 76 and I have been chasing hope like it was gold sad thing is you only live once and when its over its over some got lucky in life the deck was already stacked i was the unlucky one i guess

I swear, I remember reading someone's comment that they thought this song was really about a stray cat named Sundown that was always coming around Gordon's yard causing trouble, and I've never been able to get that story out of my head ever since. 😂

First here 2025 U better take care

Did Titanic get a song? NO! I DONT FUCKING THINK SO!

Why didn’t they get in the life boats?

To all those who died in raging lake waters ❤

Titanic of the Great Lakes

This song and its music perfectly tells this story.

I always linked this song to my heroin/fentanyl addiction, because opiate addiction makes you sick when you withdrawal and he says sometimes I think it's a shame when I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain sometimes I think it's a sin I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again

Shauna loves GL.

A truly gifted and consistently great artist😊

This is a classic. He was a classic.

January 2025, 50 years ya'll, R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot thank you for this masterpiece.

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the wind turns minutes to hours?''- what a lyric so heartbreaking.

I remember the day I heard this song for the first time. I was about 12 and I’m forty now. Dad knew the song and story. He loved the sea and was a great boat captain/fisherman. We use to spend the weekend on the ocean about 30 miles out. He’s up there now.

I'm listening to it in January of 2025. Hauntingly beautiful. Gordon Lightfoot could write about it like he and all of us were there. I'm almost 70, and have always really liked his storytelling songs. He left his artistry as a legacy to all of us. I wonder if any of his kids sing and tell stories. ❤

2025🎉

January 1st 2025 and still enjoy this song . As well as Gordon Lightfoot's other music! Highly underrated talent!

Salems lot movie is a dumpster full of fire

Gonna recreate these events in 2025

Whos listening in 2025 😎

2025 🎉 01/01/25

So beautiful and haunting.

Salems Lot brought me here

50th anniversary we here

One of my favorite songs, and my dad's as well - so haunting. Plus, how many songs are written about a lake tragedy involving commercial vessels? I can't think of another one.

It's officially 2025. We are at 50 years gentlemen

Greatest opening line in music history? "I can see her lyin there in her satin dress In a room where you do what you don't confess." Could be.

“You’re the dirty rat Diane”

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Who's here from Salem's Lot 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

Ich höre diesen Song immer wieder. Allerdings mußte ich feststellen, daß ich ihn mißverstanden habe.

It tugs at your mortality at the same time makes you long for high adventures

Who is listening end-December 2024? This came out in my high school grad year. Chilling then, chilling now. That slide guitar gets me every time.

Whose here because BMFS ripped this last night 12/29/24 ooooooweeeeee

Still hits hard!

Rest in piece buddy, I never knew you or your music but a buddy played this song while on a jobsite years ago and i have never forgotten it. The emotions and love put into the music, the way you tell the story of these sailors will forever live because of you. Thank you Gordon, you have brought peace to these men and their family.

I've been a Michigander for my whole life (40 yrs) I remember hearing tales and this song since I was just a wee boy all of us know and are in awe of the Edmund Fitzgerald
