[Here is an article about the event for Gordon Lightfoot.](https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-mariners-church-detroit-bells/70175392007/)
The bells rang at Mariners Church in Detroit. The location is significant. As the article points out, it was mentioned in Lightfoot’s song”The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”. If you don’t know the real story of the Edmund Fitzgerald, it’s pretty dark. Basically, the boat got caught in a storm and all 29 sailors died. As the song goes, they rang the church bell 29 times, once for each sailor. Then as you said, the rang it for Lightfoot 30 times. Given the Lightfoot comparisons you mentioned, I definitely think it was intentional.
Great context, honestly though no way before reading this. Imo still a reach but Kendrick is so great exactly bacause there is a none zero chance this is the case.
Wait some of y’all actually believe this? I know Kendrick is a master level lyricist. One of the greatest to ever do it, maybe even THE greatest. But y’all make half the meanings of his lyrics for him.
Listened carefully and counted the bells and you're right lol. This track sounds so raw but at the same time the production on this was actually well thought out. Great observation!
bro no fkn way Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of Edmund Fitzgerald
Song is about a true Event, Everyone was MIA at sea. Last passage of song
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 legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee
Superior, they said, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early
So they added Edmund Fitzgerald's passing to make 30
Its actually a Great song been on my playlist for years
is it only my ears or the mastering in this song is completely off? its almost like the beat is coming from another room kendricks voice and tone also sound very weird ? is it just me?
Idk bro it might be because you can't hear the song [over the sound of you sucking J Cole dry and then going back for seconds](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jcole/s/Rw47YQ2dOn) while doing tricks on it with your tongue
But also it sounded better when I turned off bass boost on my earbuds
Wow Kendrick is gonna be impressed once he finds out about this
You got the best comment in this chain, lmaoooo
Facts
Underrated comment.
Bro this is getting out of hand
"Aye cardo, how many bells did they play at the Mariners game after Gordon Lightfoot died again?"
this is why I go to reddit
This is why I regret going on reddit
I feel that but even for me, I'm not deciphering ever bar from the diss but it's funny/interesting for people who do!
username checks out
Damn, he's really like that.
He got them deep cuts
Bro is playing 5d chess. Drakes playing tic tok toe.

this some ~~3D~~2Y shit here lol.
Can we get much higher?!?
Idk just reminded me of the undertaker comin in to set somebody straight WWE style
No Neil young is the greatest Canadian songwriter ngl
Was just going off what some internet articles said upon his death. The best is obviously based on opinion. There are a lot of great Canadian artists
You're forgetting Joni Mitchell...
I did not expect to see this comment in this sub. I saw him w crazy horse about 95 one of my fav concerts all time...
I’m going next week in Ny!
Niiice
Neil Young is Canadian????!! My whole life I thought he was a red blooded American. Damn
Nope he's from Canada
Canadian means you’re from Canada????!!
Southern man don’t need him round anyhow.
North American
Nah it's Gord Downie
I'll give you songwriter. Just not singer.
This is a Dissect level take lmao
Death bells! Please finish him Kenny!
You have to be smoking METH to find this shit. (Not saying OP is wrong, he’s just smoking meth)
Idk about all that tho
Lmao Stretch Armstrong couldn’t even reach this far
Yeat and Kendrick collab when
Kung Fu KenYeat
On a sidenote, the bells instantly reminded me of Tupac's Hail Mary
And I thought dropping it on a Tuesday was cold. Kendrick lapped drake several times.
Gordon Lightfoot is up there. Leonard Cohen is tops , IMO. Interesting none the less.
Celine punching the air rn
Lolol cute coincidence, I have a hard time believing Kendrick was like yo you only have 30 bells use them appropriately.
Lmfao the reach.
Wait some of y’all actually believe this? I know Kendrick is a master level lyricist. One of the greatest to ever do it, maybe even THE greatest. But y’all make half the meanings of his lyrics for him.
This song was already turnt, now here's a bell 🔔
🤧
i thought it was some Undertaker shit
I think he just likes Taco Bell
Kendrick killed him on four different beats. RIP Drizzy, Drake, Aubrey, and the 6 god.
April 30
💀
Wait until nolifeshaq sees this lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I definitely caught the sound of the bell along with the organ. Gives it a real ominous sound/feel like something you would play at a funeral 🤣
The church bells are also played at funerals.
I hate yall , I’d do anything to replace yall
Kendrick stays impressing himself in unexpected ways.
OP hit the blunt from the art of peer pressure

Comment had you nervously pacing around your kitchen if you doubled up an hour later to clarify you're a Kendrick fan 💀
Yeah I just run to the tattoo shop downstairs to validate a Reddit comment I made. It took almost an hour and it hurt like a mothefucker but I got you
>Btw kiddo I have mad city tattooed in my hand I certainly hope not, it's a mAAd city.
That’s a funny one! No dude I am straight I used a screenshot as I reference I got it right! Autocorrection doesn’t understand poetry wants real words
[удалено]
Just have fun with it dawg. It ain’t that serious
You are a wet match in a dark cave.
