As far as personalizing songs I feel you really don't need to have had the experiance yourself. Even if you've never been sailing if you close your eyes and listen to Gord's words you can picture yourself there on the water. That is part of the beuty,and genius of writing in most of Gord's songs. So not only can his songs relate to our experiances in a way they can give us new ones. Just wanted to throw that out there.
