Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

I think a man on a boat outside sight of land, in genuine fear that he might lose the boat, is as small as a man can feel on earth.

Genuinely, one of my worst fears. That and the thought of being buried alive.

I've never known any song or work of art for that matter to convey the desperation of men that knew they would perish. In my opinion, one of the best songs ever. I tear up every time I hear it.

That haunting lead guitar is unforgettable. Couple that with Gordon Lighfoot's descriptive and vivid lyrics, and you feel like you're on that ship in that storm. It's a true masterpiece.

I've never been in that situation, but I have have both been on a boat scared of losing it and out of sight of anything on separate occasions. Those two combined is a horrifying thought exercise.

What always amazed me is how a boat can feel absolutely massive in harbor and then when you can see nothing else except a storm brewing, it can feel like you're out there on a popping cork.

Agreed…

Honestly, if it wasn’t for that song, few would have any idea the disaster ever happened, it would have been a local news story at best, and would be lost to history by now.

I've never even seen any of the Great Lakes much less worked in the shipping industry there. Gordon Lightfoot puts me right on that doomed ship every time I hear it.
"Fellas, it's been good to know ya". It literally makes me weak in the knees.
