3. Memory and Loss
• The song immortalizes the lives lost in the sinking, emphasizing the collective act of remembering as a form of resistance to erasure. Both grapple with the question: Who ensures that’ lives and struggles are not forgotten?

1. Labor and Risk
• The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald recounts the tragic sinking of a Great Lakes freighter, emphasizing the inherent dangers faced by the working class. Both the show and the song explore the sacrifices made by workers, for entities that fail to acknowledge their full humanity.
