Dan Seals - Everything That Glitters (live 1991)

[@BillyTheKid5310]

Look this may be an unpopular opinion but im just gonna say it. This is the best country song ever.

[@aarond23]

Back when country music could legitimately make you stop and cry....

[@rosswright5547]

I so agree

[@LittleSlim78]

Yep

[@jasonunger2776]

New country still makes me cry, just for a different reason 🤣

[@karinfoley7030]

That is so true. I still like country music, but my favorites will always be from the 80’s and early 90’s. Dan Seals is one of my favorites. What a wonderful pure voice he had. This song always makes me tear up😢

[@terricunningham6810]

yes back then it could make you cry but now I cry for a different reason...

[@Hayden_Milliken]

I'm 20 years old, so I was only six or seven when Dan Seals died, and thus, I didn't really get to hear him during his hayday. But, as I've gotten older, and started to become an enthusiast of old country music, I have grown to be a huge fan of Dan Seals. Great voice, and songs that really get in your feelings. One of the best to do it.....

Dan is left handed playing a right handed Martin 12 string upside down. Amazing talent. One of my all time favorite songs EVER! Gone way too soon. RIP.

This is one of my absolute favorite older Country Songs. Before the "New" Country stomped in and Country music went down the drain. Rest in Peace Dan Seals. So much talent. This song is such a heart breaker and I still love it so.......

[@lincolnmaceachern2410]

I didn't realize he'd passed. I was a kid during Seals & Crofts days, and I saw him in concert around the time of "Bop." Great song, in the tradition of Merle Haggard's "Holding Things Together." I didn't recall the song, until I saw a wonderful cover by John Paul White.

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

That pedal steel adds to the soulfulness of this song. It's a stunner. There are very few country songs like it these days. Give a listen to John Paul White's version. Also, the Haley Sisters. Both are stellar. Dan would be proud...

[@6stringwood]

I had no idea that Dan had passed away in 2009. My heart just sank when I read the first comment that Heavens got a helluva band. His voice his style was one of a kind and for him I will put a few of his songs on because he was a performer I greatly appreciated for his kindness and his amazing talent. I sang one of his songs at the Bluebird in Nashville in 1992 then one of my own ...when I stepped down from the stage a large bearded man stood and shook my hand, it was Dan Seals.

I could listen to this a 1000 times and would still get the same chills that I got the first time I heard it. I had the chance to see Dan 3 years and anything hid did was moving. Being able to sing is one thing but he could emotionaly sell his product also. A legend is an understatement. RIP

[@gregmb1960]

One of my favorite songs. Did not realize that he had passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting Dan in 1988. He was in town doing a benefit concert for Special Olympics. I was part of the stage crew and I talked to him a couple times that day. He was one of the nicest guys I ever met. Rest In Peace, Dan.

[@ligialewis2182]

I had never been a fan of country music , but since I've gotten hooked on KZbin I've discovered many county music artists ( from back in the day when country was artful and touching ) such as Steve Goodman , Vince Gill , Arlo Guthrie , Bonnie Raitt , JOHN PRINE , Dan Seals of course , Willie Nelson , Dan Whitley , Kris Kristofferson , Rita Coolidge , Dolly Parton , Lyle Lovett , Conway Twitty , Allan Jackson , Kate Wolf , Jamey Johnson, Glenn Campbell and a host of others I seem to be blocking on right now . Their songs were filled with beautiful and heart-rending stories , had melodies that were really fine and were almost always wonderfully performed and were always respectful and thoughtful that touched deep emotions inside us . What a far cry from the sorry state of country music today - it's more like pop-fluff . Let's hear more of the delightful songs and artists from "yesteryear" which always enriched the listener and made us hunger for more . Go Country ! George Lewis, Sr.

A friend of mine reminded me today that Dan Seals passed away in 2009. This is one of the best songs he recorded. (I use to play it regularly where I performed) I particularly relate to this being a single dad and a traveling musician. I gave up the quest for "all that glitters" for the pursuit of being a real, stay at home dad when he was born in 2000. Now, I mostly travel the 2 lanes in West Virginia. I have since found the 'real gold,' thanks to my boy.
