What is it with Gordon Lightfoot and internet video?

I was noticing the other day that two of my absolute favorite videos on the internet have one surprising thing in common: Gordon Lightfoot.

He of course wrote the classic ballad The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald which is the soundtrack for this amazing video by Joseph Fulton:

He also wrote a little known song, Black Day in July about the Detroit Riot of 1967, which captured in equally stunning fashion by KeylaBb:

Both of these videos are ridiculously well done – watch them please.
