Follow it up with The Mary Ellen Carter, and I will definitely be in tears.
Put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain!
Is this an American thing? I can’t really relate to why such a simple song creates those feelings for many people. I mean I read about the ship‘s tragedy online but as a German I have no emotional connection to this particular event.
Surprisingly that wasn't Gordon Lightfoot's first song about a shipwreck. In 1969, he released a song called Ballad of Yarmouth Castle.
If You Could Read My Mind does it for me.
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back
That is such a horribly lonely feeling of loss and regret and it all comes through in that part.
