"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics) Video
Haven't seen too many videos with a good quality version of this song, so I thought I'd put together a video with lyrics. Enjoy! Pictures are Copyrighted to their respected owners. Video made by me.
[EDIT]: I apologize for a few of the words being wrong in the video, but I tried my best. I hope you all can enjoy it anyways!
Comments on ""The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics)"
thanks for that. ... thanks for that. how can anyone dislike it?? i dont understand people.
Evidence seems to ... Evidence seems to show that the Fitzgerald desperately tried to run for cover but ran out of time. When the Witch came to get them, it pushed them way off course and towards the island's rocky underwater outcrops. In perfect weather at low speed it would have been tight.
With massive swells and Superior at a her full? rage they stood no chance, it broke the Fitzgerald's back, it went down in 2 3 minutes. Possible less than a minute...
There was no hope for the poor souls aboard...
Anyone that is ... Anyone that is familiar with Lake Superior knows it's not a lake, it's an inland sea.
She has a vicious temper, and any sailor can get themselves in a great deal of trouble very quickly when she get's mad. It can happen? in 10 minutes or less...
This is my song ... This is my song right? here :)
Great job on? this ... Great job on? this video!!
Pure American, much ... Pure American, much respect, and now engraved into history thanks to Gordon. R.I.P.? to those brave crew members
he has? the best ... he has? the best voice ever
This is one of the ... This is one of the best ballads of american folk music, and its not rap or poetry, it doesn't have to rhyme, just tell the story, Which it? does well, it has a haunting tune and helluva melody. listen to the classics.
thank? you, sir thank? you, sir
surpirior never ... surpirior never gives back what she swallows. like this if you agree and feel bad for loved ones of? the fitzgerald
18 people have no ... 18 people have no heart and therefore no respect for the 29 brave? sailors.
I was just a kid ... I was just a kid when she sank. I still rember Walter Cronkite doing the news. He made a coment about another? ship had just docked and they asked the capt. to go out and look for her. He said only if all my crew agrees will I endanger their lives. ALL men aboard agreed to return to the rough waters and look for her. Very touching!
love this song so ... love this song so much...it gives me chills when? I listen to it
This is one of? ... This is one of? those songs that gives me goose-bumps every time I hear it. So beautiful and sad at the same time.
This will weigh on ... This will weigh on Michigan as the biggest shipwreck in history. The ship and the crew may be gone,? but will never fade.
I love this song so ... I love this song so much!! It brings tears 2? my eyes everytime I hear it
Great sound....thx.? Great sound....thx.?
We all felt so bad ... We all felt so bad for this crew and the families who were left to endure this nightmare. Every time I remember, my heart still feels heavy and I say a? little prayer for them. If there was any good to come of this, I hope it taught the freight companies to be more cautious with these unpredictable weather patterns.
I've known this ... I've known this song since it first came out. But it just isn't a very good song. There's barely a tune & most of the lyrics don't rhyme. It's mostly just the haunting story. Still, nice job on the post zeezy. ?
Fitz was goin' ... Fitz was goin' through Saulte St. Marie while our scout troop watched through the long scopes over locks. Us bein' kids pretended the scopes were cannon and? pretendin' firin' at the Fitz; when this song came out I couldn't sleep for days afterwards.
forever? missed ... forever? missed never forgotten
A great song/good ... A great song/good video? too!
i used to work on a ... i used to work on a great lake ship.i saw this? ship.good song.
Our innocence? was ... Our innocence? was lost that day.
One of the best ... One of the best songs ever almost cry through it because of how sad? it is
Sadder than? the ... Sadder than? the Titanic.
Excellent video and ... Excellent video and outstanding quality. By far, one of the most haunting songs that will ever be written. ?
yeah, but? ... ... yeah, but? ... clear water'll drown you as quick as "dark" water !
This song has ... This song has always given me the creeps. Perhaps it's the fear of dark water. It paints a pretty vivid mental portrait of those wave washing over the decks and the boat in immenent trouble and the knowledge of the crew that? survvival was unlikely. How can you not feel sympathy? A great song nonetheless.
Classic? song with ... Classic? song with no chorus. Nice.
