Headstones - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald

As a commercial fisherman in the Bay of Fundy, I saw some bad weather, nothing like what was purported in the song, but bad enough, so that line hits home.

"The cook came on deck and said "fella's, it's too rough to feed ya."" is the line that always gets me. No one should die on an empty stomach.

[@Jain1906]

[@Shadooe]

I always pair that with a line from local NL song, "And the Newfoundland story of loss to the sea was told as so often before." Heart-rending.

That line is why I love the song, facing death is the great leveler. All the petty squabbles fade away when men are facing death together.

I grew up in the 70’s listening to this song…I’ll be honest and say that at first I was pissed that someone would speed up the song which, I at first found to be irreverent. After listening to the song in its entirety, I’m impressed…As someone commented below, the harmonica was more like a mournful bagpipe player giving respect to the 29 fallen crew. Good job, guys…You have a new fan.

I grew up on Gordon Lightfoot. So I went looking for covers og this, as a huge fan of the original, and this - this one is brilliant, has it own voice and still respects the original. The verse about all the Lakes and the funeral echoes the majesty of the original, the harmonica shrill at the end carries the haunting sadness of the original - the rest holds the grit of the men the song eulogizes. Brilliantly executed, and with soul.

[@cwilliams7604]

I think this one is going to be an encore from here on out, it's epic. Love the transition in the last quarter of the song with the drum and harmonica sounding almost like Scottish bagpipes, paying respects to the men lost. See you all again soon !
