Song of the week: Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

I actually came across this song when I heard the lyric "

And the iron boats go as the mariners all know with the Gales of November remembered."

something about the way the words "Gales of November remembered" got caught in my head and it went over and over and over till I imagined female spirits with snowy white hair dragging the sailors to the bottom of the lake. Perhaps I took the word gale to mean women. /shrug
