At this moment, my favourite song is The Wreck of The Edmund FItzgerald. It is a wonderful sweeping tale of courage and loss. Mr Lightfoot's gift for melody shines in this song. He has captured the feel of the water and the swell of the waves. For me, the most powerful moment is this line; Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours. It speaks volumes. Another poetic twist, although this is a question, it is phrased as a statement. Again, it speaks volumes
