Near the end of the song, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, it goes:
In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed
In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral
The church bell chimed 'til it rang twenty-nine times
For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald
The Mariner's church in Detroit rang it 30 times last week. One for Gordon Lightfoot.
I thought that was cool.

That is cool, I always liked that song.

Me too. At one time I could sing the whole song from memory as I played it on guitar.

I didn’t realize he had just died.

“If You Could Read My Mind” was another song that got to me when young and dealing with youthful relationship breakups.
“ I don't know where we went wrong,
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back. ”

I loved his music. All his songs were written by himself, I believe. I had all his albums at one time, and the first one I owned was on an eight-track tape. My first date/boyfriend loved Gordon Lightfoot music and we played it on eight-tracks in his classic Mustang fastback. Had to park it on a hill so we could easily push it to get it started. Good times.
