Finnish Girl Reacts to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot (HD w/ Lyrics)

In today’s video, I’m reacting to “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” by Gordon Lightfoot — a song that tells the true and tragic story of the sinking of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald and the 29 sailors who lost their lives.

I’ll be honest: this was a reaction I took my time with. I knew going into it that it would be emotional, and it absolutely was. This song doesn’t just tell history — it makes you feel it. From the power of the lyrics to the way the story unfolds, it’s impossible not to think about what those men went through and the families they left behind.

As someone who reacts to history and music from an outsider’s perspective, this one hit me especially hard. I often say that I can listen to history on the surface — but when it becomes personal, when it becomes about real people, that’s when it gets overwhelming.

In this video, we talk about:

The true story behind the Edmund Fitzgerald

Gordon Lightfoot’s storytelling and lyrics

The emotional weight of historical tragedies

The human side of maritime disasters

Why songs like this matter and deserve to be remembered

This is a respectful, emotional reaction, not a joke video. Please be mindful in the comments.

👇 I’d love to hear from you:
Have you heard this song before?
And how do you personally handle emotional history like this?
