Dan Fogelberg Lyrics

    ------ About the song The Reach performed by Dan Fogelberg

I too miss Dan... Most love his early albums that were so incredibly moving emotionally.... He was so able to paint a picture so your mind could transport you to the place or feeling he depicted in his words ... As others have said... A musical artist in every aspect of the word.... The Reach iis about my fav of his... Also love The Last Nail.....amongst many others...

    ------ About the song Longer performed by Dan Fogelberg

In my humble opinion,"Longer" by Dan Fogelberg is the greatest love song ever written or performed. The lyrics are spellbinding. I had the pleasure of seeing Dan perform live on two occasions, but unfortunately, he did not sing this song either time. I'm guessing that since he probably wrote the song for his first wife, and she had divorced him prior to my being able to see either of those concerts, it might have been too painful for him to sing the song at those times.

Some years later, I had heard on the radio that the song "Amazed" by the group Lonestar had been voted the greatest love song of all time. I almost choked on my donut at that time. Really? Voted by who? Or whom? Seriously? A song that includes the lyrics "It just blows me away" is better than "Longer"? Not in any Universe with which I am familiar.

    ------ About the song Run For The Roses performed by Dan Fogelberg

Was looking for a graduation song for my daughters Senior video. She rides and works at a barn and loves horses. She will major in pre-vet in college in the fall. Happened to think of this song from my own college days. It's perfect to send her out into the world. Thanks Dan.

    ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg

this is one of those tunes that just keeps growing on me during the holidays. Yes, it speaks of "the one that got away", and how our priorities are shaped, and how they may change over time.

Am amazed that Dan F. employed the motif from 1812 Overture, and that it had been in there, unrecognized by my ears as a classic hook melody!

Yes, the holidays are supposed to be joyous, but they also hold realities , and mark the passage of time, to be reflected upon by those of us still alive . looking back at my own past, it's hard not to, Same Old Lang Syne does make the cut as a holiday song, as does imho, "Run for the Roses" makes the cut for being a theme song for the Kentucky Derby.
Between the cameo ending played on sax by Micheal Brecker, the fact that
both artists are no longer living, well, I do raise a glass to "Same Old Lang Syne" . And now i am going to transcibe it in notation for the archives. (!)

    ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg

Christmas tonight, and I went out late to eat at the only open restaurant in town. It wasn't very good, and I paid too much. Perhaps the only good thing that came from going out tonight was that this song started playing when I pulled up in my driveway.

I had only heard bits and pieces before and never really payed attention to the lyrics, but this time, I listened. What a sad song. In a way, I can relate, and it brings back memories of what might have been. Quite a sad story, and a far too common one.

Merry Christmas all, and may you find the one you're meant to be with.

Beautiful, haunting song. To anyone who's been in love and moved on, you'll appreciate it. If you've never been in love and moved on, you'll never truly feel the song. It's based on a chance meeting between Fogelberg and an old flame on Cristmas Eve, 1976. RIP, Dan.

    ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg

Just because somebody doesn't like the song, doesn't mean they need to grow up or don't have a heart. How immature can YOU be by assuming something to stupid? As for this song, I love it. The lyrics are amazing and that's what makes a good song for me. I really connect to this song.

    ------ About the song Rhythm Of The Rain performed by Dan Fogelberg

When I hear this song it takes me back to eight grade (almost 50 years ago). A girl in my class was "expecting", we didn't use words like "pregnant" back then. I was quite naive and didn't know the full impact of the situation but she did go away and was never at our school again which seemed so sad to me. I always hoped that she would be OK. This reminds me of a loss of innocence in many ways.

    ------ About the song Scarecrow's Dream performed by Dan Fogelberg

I, too, find these lyrics and this song haunting and memorable, evoking The Wizard of Oz, the recurring spirit of Halloween, and a younger, more insecure me. I too hope Dan Fogelberg is doing well. -- John

This type of song is nice for those who love to give all to our lover. I remember a wonderful young lady and how we related to each other with this song. I am feeling the same love, joy and the good time we both get together. I love you MC.
