This is the first song I was blown away by. I was 5. I distinctly remember hearing it for the first time and feeling an emotional and physical response. I had no idea, at the time, that the song was about a real shipwreck and maybe I didn't know what it was about at all. The music moved me, and frankly I think if I had never heard the lyrics I would believe today that the song was inspired by a shipwreck. It's fair to say, and my mother has noted this as well, that this song sparked my love for music.
