Someone on Facebook had posted about Sundown (a great song) and it really made me think about the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Perhaps it's because we used to listen to this in elementary school, but something about this song is so haunting and real. Man, it brings back memories...great story telling and great music.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald brings back memories. Great song. We used to play that in college a lot when we were drinking.

one of the best lines in any song, only a man can understand this

I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean
