they were high school sweethearts and he saw her after years of not seeing each other and when he saw her after all those years he remembered and felt that old familiar love and pain

[@cheryl-annhercules9445]

I always loved this song, thanks for the back story. I always wondered if it was based on a moment in his life. Also, I didn't know Dan Fogelberg passed.

[@debigiroux1811]

Love Dan Fogelberg. That song has always been a favorite, man could he tell a story. Happy New Year! 😀❤👌

[@siemonebeach4083]

This is Dan Folgerberg's true encounter with his highschool sweetheart in 1975...they went their seperate ways after graduating in 1969, because he pursued music.

[@leeyaferguson9019]

😊😊

[@joelliebler5690]

Great true story though it is more about the past not found love just a chance short meeting. He knew the direction he was heading and was not back to the small town where he grew up. He was already a big star on the way in becoming a superstar!

[@joelliebler5690]

You ought to try reacting to Dan’s Power of Gold, or The Passage!

[@markthompson9056]

@@joelliebler5690 ABSOLUTELY!!! Dan did it all. Hard rock, Soft Rock, Country " Morning Sky ", Gospel.

[@garyvandecar2580]

Yup her name is Jill Anderson Greulich She came out with this story after his passing of prostate cancer in December 2007.

[@davidstivers2537]

This song gives me the same pit in my stomach that I had when I saw an old high school love years later. It is spot on.

[@markclaypool5414]

Whoosh…right over your head! This song is so crushing…you missed all that.

[@cheryl-annhercules9445]

Yep, totally agree!!!!!!! They weren't really ' listening' to the song.

[@barryg4927]

@@cheryl-annhercules9445 no ...I like these folks but they really didn't get the gravity of this song.

[@childoftherisenone8566]

Their commentary was sad. Didn't get it!😢

[@helenh6442]

Made a joke out of such a beautiful song 😢

[@markthompson9056]

Actually disappointed in their reaction. Perhaps Lil Wayne's love song is their style.

[@Citizenesse8]

I heard this song when I was a kid and I loved it then and I love it now. Now that I'm obviously much older and have a much clearer understanding of what those old familiar pangs are now it means even more.

[@tylerhackner9731]

One of my favorite songs. So beautiful

[@MrRondonmon]

He did not release this song until 5 or 6 years after this happened. After she had gotten a divorce and remarried. Then one day in Chicago, while driving to work (Elementary teacher I think) she heard this on the radio and new 100 % it was about that night.

[@ryanolson8879]

DAN FOGELBERG IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!! 🙂

[@christinasims4747]

I had a super complicated relationship with my father. I went to see him once when I was in my 20s. We were driving to the store or something... and sitting in this awkward silence. Then this song came on the radio.. and we both said. "Oh I love this song!". By the end we had the song blasting and were scream singing lol RIP Dad ❤

[@bubsmomma]

Saddest Christmas song ever. One I cry over

[@ChicagoDB]

Dan Fogelberg ~ “Leader of The Band” [use the studio/record version]

[@htdgz]

Such a beautiful and sad song. All of his songs tell stories - you can actually see the song happening in your head. We lost such a talent in 2007.

[@jeffarbuckle4615]

Ahh a beautiful song of lost innocence and young love. It’s ok they weren’t into this one! Can’t agree on them all ❤

[@nancyharn1980]

It's a great song about an old relationship, definitely not a pick up song. "Should old acquaintance be forgot" type song. It didn’t work out in high school, they were reminiscing. Missed the mark on this one. Try Leader of the Band to make-up for this one. It will be hard to misconstrue. Other than this one, I love your reactions.

[@denisetowe895]

I love this song and it means more since I had a similar experience with an old love (that I’m still friends with) and we share this song with each other every New Year Eve 🤗. So glad you’re enjoying Dan’s music! ❤

[@hihoktf]

A classic. Up there with Harry Chapin's Taxi.

[@WmTRiker]

This song is almost 100% true, there are just a few variations from the narrative: 1) They didn't meet in a grocery store, it was a convenience store; 2) The woman, later identified as Jill Anderson Greulich, does not have blue eyes, they are green; 3) Jill did not marry an architect, he was a phys. ed. teacher. Other than that, the story is correct, even the part about buying a 6-pack and drinking it in her car as they talked (for two hours) and the snow changing over to rain as Dan drove home.

[@blitz3643]

Dan drinking and driving.... Not good!

[@markthompson9056]

Dan, protected her.

[@Tica..77]

RIP Dan 🙏 gone but never forgotten! A&B 😂 drinkin’🍾 & talkin’ bout 🥒 I’m weak.. omg ♥️2u2

[@markthompson9056]

I was serving in Iraq when I learned of Dan's passing. a sucker punch to my heart.

[@williammunson5832]

Not many songs that I would consider "beautiful," but this is definitely one of them. One of my favorites of all time! RIP Dan! Gone too soon.

[@stephentaylor6617]

This encounter actually happened with a couple of minor details changed. Dan’s wife at the time did not want the song released so it was delayed until 1981. Top 10 hit.

[@naturemom57]

Wow😮

[@timmholl9238]

Okay, THAT part of the history of the song I did not know.

[@stephentaylor6617]

@@timmholl9238 The Professor of Rock did an half hour episode about this song talking to the producer of this song. The girls name is Jill. When Dan died of cancer, Jill was interviewed about the song.

[@scottwelch9044]

Beautiful song. I live in the Peoria, IL, Dan Fogelberg's hometown, area and there's a monument to him here.What a story teller.

[@naturemom57]

Oh you two .. I heard Dan Fogelberg telling the background to the story he actually was looking for whipped cream I think for a Christmas drink for his Dad and she was shopping for eggnog.. I think he just made the lyrics frozen food to make it sound better or flow better or something .. but it really is based on him meeting his for real old high school girlfriend

[@robotto8858]

Please check out the history on this one. It's basically a true story. Maybe you to shouldn't recall 1st loves together, but you're a great couple so you can probably be honest about it. 🤣 As a teen I could see my life playing out a a reunion much like this. It was relatable before I even had the experience. I wished my story was like this when I heard it. All these years later I can say that I still know that 1st girlfriend and it works like that. I'm glad we're still friends.

[@davehess1019]

this song makes me emotional.

[@uniquemum73]

They completely missed the emotional part, this song is nostalgic for so many.

[@nathanswain3011]

You guys are hilarious! I work the 2nd shift, and love checking in , to see what you're looking at. Love you guys and you're eclectic taste in music.

[@naturemom57]

This song can be a tear jerker

[@FeaturingRob]

This and Unanswered Prayers by Garth Brooks are my favorite songs about lost innocence, first loves, and how time changes us all. It is a beautiful and sad song, probably my favorite by Fogelberg, with Leader of the Band a very close second. The real story behind it is quite moving.

[@realtruth716]

True story the setting..Peoria Illinois the girl Jill Brewer at a grocery store on East Front st. 2 different things Jill's eyes were green and her husband was a physical education school teacher.[they divorced but not because of this song].I love this song,Dan was picking up whipped cream for Irish coffee.

[@paulberthold932]

Was it a Thompson’s grocery store?

Asia & BJ, the song "The Power of Gold" was Dan's collaboration with Tim Weisberg and reached #24 in the US.

[@randysteidle8210]

Such a great song and you make fun of it! WTF!!!!!!!!!

[@markthompson9056]

Different era. Rap degrading women is what they grew up listening.

[@dragonflySummer09]

They weren’t at the store to try to meet someone… it was a chance encounter… the first line tells you that he ran into his “old lover”… it wasn’t planned… Btw, there’s ice cream and lots of other things in the frozen section… exactly WHERE they saw each other isn’t the point 🤓

[@randybean4678]

Such a bittersweet song. Happy New Year you two!

[@lfelton777]

She's married. They actually got a little bit more cozy and comfortable than they should've.

[@hackermusic3355]

And she didn't love her husband. A story as old as time.

[@markthompson9056]

No. They spoke of innocence.

[@jimilemons7680]

This is a very sad song about ex-high school sweethearts seeing each other years later only older and each a bit longing for times past but knowing it’s not meant to be ever again.

[@tinahairston6383]

GREAT SONG!!!

[@richardrodriguez2120]

When I was stationed in Colorado it was getting close to New Year’s Eve. They had a contest in the radio that you had to call in when this song came on. Bunch of us were sitting in the day room and it came on. We started singing away and then it got quiet and we forgot about the contest lost in our own thoughts. This song sure does evoke memories

[@Afc91artistNC]

[@denanebergall5514]

This has always been one of my favorite Christmas songs. 💗 The line that gets me everytime is "She'd like to say she loved the man [her husband] but she didn't like to lie." Oh man! 💗

[@uniquemum73]

This song breaks my heart, i had a similar experience with my first love 35 years later. I think of him when i hear this song. First time I've ever been disappointed in your music reaction, ill be back though.😢

[@pattymckitrick7436]

He wrote and recorded his first song "To The Morning"...when he was around 18. Just him and the piano. Beautiful song.

[@MrNorcal81]

Dan Fogelberg was a brilliant song writer and performer who died much too young at 56 (prostate cancer). His catalogue of songs is incredible. This song, Stars with one very poignant lyric: "And it's getting easier each day To weep about you Harder every night to sleep without you" if you've broken up with someone or worse lost your love to an illness, and Leader of the Band which was a tribute to his father who was a high school band director are my favorites but there are so many more.

[@garyvandecar2580]

The song is Autobiographical, It's about his High School Sweetheart Jill Anderson Brewer Greulich who now resides in Saint Louis, And a chance meeting on Christmas Eve 1975 as both were in town spending Christmas with their respective families. The song was released in November 1980

[@missd9785]

Yes, brussel sprouts=) I luv how BJ caught on to the heart of this song. I so well remember listening to this as a teenager and comprehending the whole feel without the experience. This is a special song. ty for this reaction y'all

[@delaineoneill7476]

You two are hilarious 😂 on a serious note, my life parallels this experience so I can very much relate to it. High school sweethearts parting and finding each other again too late.

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

I lived in a small Colorado town with Dan’s ex-wife. One of my good friends babysat for her, she said she net Dan once when he came to visit his ex. She said he was so very nice. The photography teacher at my high school was named Dan Fogleberg, he was the singer’s cousin.

[@PatternSeeker...]

Guys, brussel sprouts and diapers? Were we listening to the same song? This is a sad song of lost innocence and dreams, real life compared to young love and idealism. Maybe it's because I'm past the halfway point in life that I see it differently, but then again, this song has resonated with me since it was first released. Usually I love your reactions, but I think you need to listen to this one again.

OK, this is a hilarious reaction. Never thought about being judged by the section of the store a guy's in! Fogelberg's my favorite musician. Whatever kind of music you like he played it. His solo concerts were absolutely amazing.

He snuck up behind her in the frozen foods - he followed her to that section. And they went their separate way after spending some time catching up because she was married.

[@danielhornung21]

I got to hang out with Dan Fogelberg a few times when we lived in southern Colorado. Cool guy but his wife was crazy
