So beautiful- DAN FOGELBERG - Longer REACTION - First time hearing

[@johnbrowne3950]

Best love song ever.

[@bkm2797]

Love Dan Fogleberg, beautiful voice, with lovely lyrics. Hope you listen to a couple of other tunes, " Run for the Roses"' "Leader of the Band" the latter is about his love for his father. So sad we lost him too early. Thank you for the memories.

[@jamishops]

He did Leader of the Band already.

[@bkm2797]

@@jamishops Thank you, I just recently started watching his channel.

[@captainmoretokin2172]

I love the French Horn in this song.

[@twwtjohns]

This song came out in 1979 and got very limited air play but it was beautiful and I remembered it. So when I had my first dance with my new bride less than 2 years later in 1981 this song played during our first dance. That was 42 years ago and we're still together.

[@benarmentano3799]

Shout out to the beautiful string arrangement as well!

[@Angelslvhf]

I've listened to this song for over forty years and it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It's such a powerful declaration of love and a reflection of the timeless poetry of Dan Fogelberg. Thanks, Harri, for your heartfelt reaction.

[@hitachi4499]

igual me hace llorar

[@debbiemickelson5448]

The sentiment is so beautiful, just wish it could be true in actual life

[@CB-gr1uk]

His music is always as beautiful as his words. On this song, he always sounded like David Gates of Bread to me.

[@stevetournay6103]

I can see that comparison with David Gates on, say, If. Ethereal. Dan wrote several songs like this: Scarecrow's Dream, The Sand And The Foam, Believe In Me, Colors Of Eve...

[@robertcussins2807]

No worries Harri. I cannot stop tears when I hear this song. Even when my wife and I have disagreements, this will set things right. Thanks again.

[@l-bird]

yes, well said

[@debarghyaroy9948]

Same with me. Tears come profusely. The music and the words are stellar!

[@beatledad]

this was one of our wedding songs.....and we'll celebrate 40 years in a couple of weeks......just a wonderful song

[@davidbentley145]

Ty for sharing Harri...

[@4ak458]

Incredible musician. Beautiful song. Gone way to young.

[@charlesdavis7461]

@Rick Casper, I love the song whose title I don't recall, "I met a friend at a grocery store" what a sad but great song.

[@4ak458]

@@charlesdavis7461 that's Another Old Lang Syne.

[@Wellch]

Way too young.

[@timothygarrett2785]

I’ve always liked longer, and it was a song that I used at my wedding. And 30 years later I still feel the same about my lady, we’re older and wrinkled and cracked but we’re still in love with each other.

[@karenj3611]

I said it before and I'll say it again, he sings from his soul. Beautiful

[@regis387]

dan could do it all - outstanding songwriter, musician, and singer - and he left us way too soon.

[@dianemcmaster8245]

My fav of all time I will never tire of his beautiful music

[@oldermusiclover]

always thought if I ever get married this is the song I want played so love it

[@marel5932]

Dan was a great storyteller. His song Go Down Easy still brings a tear as it's about a widow.

[@thorfinsky1427]

"Hard To Say" is another great song from Dan. 👍

[@davidbentley145]

Awesome song brother Harri...May he rest in peace...so many heart felt tunes came from this man

[@SWLinPHX]

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice, beautiful man. I love this song most, in addition to "Hard To Say", "Run For The Roses", "Leader Of The Band", "Same Auld Lang Syne", "Language Of Love", "Part Of The Plan", etc.

[@MrSlugWorth]

I was born in 70 and I remember hearing his songs as a young boy and over the years I’ve come to really love and appreciate his music. So much meaning and such a beautiful tone to his voice. He is missed.

[@Wellch]

I loved Dan Fogelberg back in High School.

[@CryssLuvsMuzik]

One of the most beautiful love songs ever penned. R. I. P. Dan Fogelberg

[@salmonkill7]

Wonderful lyrics as well, its a sin this artist didn't win a Grammy!! I always adored his music as a teen and young man!!

[@russevans3586]

This is a good song to "get emotional to", Harri!

[@mulatacatachufla]

A Hym... Nothing more, nothing less...

[@jeremywilliams2898]

Sometimes when I listen to music this beautiful I get so affected by it I begin shaking.

[@twwtjohns]

I attended a wedding years ago when the bride and groom danced to this song and there wasn't a dry eye in the room. The groom mouthed the words while looking at the bride. It was really something.

[@Imadrummin]

A gorgeous song in every facet. 👍

[@abc456f]

The perfect love song. Would be wonderful to have someone to sing it to.

[@jackiesconiers4230]

Thanks for keeping great music alive!

[@SheenaRea]

Dan Fogelberg is an angel sent to earth. His music heals big time. 💛🧡❤

[@User_gin_927untileternity]

I agree with your reaction Harri ! Thanks Jami for this great song ✌💫👍

[@walenerudolfi8954]

His Netherlands album is outstanding!

[@joelliebler5690]

Along with his Captured Angel, innocent Age,and a few others too!

[@angelajakem366]

I played the Netherlands album constantly after I bought it.

[@denisetowe895]

He’s been a fav of mine since the 70’s - his Netherlands album is a masterpiece! I have all his works and listen regularly. So glad you love him, too!

[@artistLife-gh3te]

Dan Fogelberge and Tim Wiseberg did an album together. It is memorable.

[@stevetournay6103]

They did two...the famous Twin Sons Of Different Mothers in 1978, and the almost totally forgotten No Resemblance Whatsoever in the mid 1990s...

[@stevetournay6103]

This was the song that made me a Fogelberg fan. Achingly lovely. Another of his in a similar vein is The Sand And The Foam, which I love enough to want it played at my funeral. Not soon, though...

[@MustardSeedish]

One of the most beautiful ballads ever written. I enjoy your sincere reaction and commentary. I would also highly recommend listening to Leader of the Band. That song was played in memory of my beloved grandfather.

[@jamishops]

He did Leader of the Band a few months ago.

[@aerynoftalyn1307]

Aw, you're still a cool guy. Timeless song.

[@scm021374]

This is my favorite of his. Amazing. Leader of the band is excellent too.

[@Cynthia...]

Great song Jamie.

[@davidhubbert9445]

Simply beautiful enough said.

[@SWLinPHX]

I always loved the imagery in this song, especially: "Thru the years as the fire starts to mellow, burning lines in the book of our lives; though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow..."

[@SWLinPHX]

Ever opened an old old book and hear the crack and smell the dust and see the yellowish paper?

[@joelliebler5690]

A legendary singer songwriter and my favorite solo artist. This tune along with his first recorded song, To the Morning was my wife and I wedding tune. I cherish it to this day more than 20 years after my wife’s passing!👍🏻❤️☮️🥲

[@dannycasson1551]

This man could write songs. Such an incredibly talented artist. I can’t put into words how much his music means to me. I was devastated when I heard of his passing.

[@suemontague3151]

Absolutely 💯 beautiful song 🎵, grew up listening to Dan Fogelberg 🇦🇺

[@greggmccabe7833]

Can’t go wrong with Dan Fogelberg. So many beautiful songs. My personal favorite is Nether Lands. Even if you don’t review it, take a listen. It will be diamonds in your ears. I heard someone say that once.

[@sharipetkovsek5502]

Nether Lands is my favorite too! It's an absolute masterpiece

[@greggmccabe7833]

Agree, it is a masterpiece. I am learning piano at age 67. Nether Lands is one of the songs I am learning. Love it!

[@richardconnolly4835]

A poem put to music.

[@tericote3221]

Cool guys allow themselves to be emotional 😊❤. I have always loved Dan Fogelberg. His voice is angelic and such beautiful lyrics!

[@l-bird]

This is my all time favorite Dan Folgelberg song. So many wonderful memories!

[@drdr76]

Windows and Walls is a great album as well, lots of musical stories...

[@lilamuzik3385]

Just a beautiful song by a beautiful artist. RIP Dan.

[@hickokhaley]

One of the best writers ever. I too love his voice.

[@mauriciodelarosa2449]

You have great taste Harri this is also my favorite song from Mr. Fogelberg. 👍🏽

[@alisonhammer5662]

This was the first record that I ever owned. I was 6 or 7 and begged my parents to buy it for me!

[@shadsullivan7817]

I love Dan Fogelbergs music, in this song, I loved the book metaphor he used in this song to measure time. He did write this song himself, he did so while he was on vacation in Maui. It hit the number 2 spot on the top 100 Billboard for a week in February 1980. Thanks!!!

[@isaackovitz4791]

He really was a superstar. RIP Dan.

[@debbiechang5781]

Wonderful choice Jami! Dan Fogelberg was a favorite of mine and I truly believe he was greater than he was ever given credit for. Just a stunningly talented singer/songwriter/musician. His beautiful voice just melts me and this song especially is just gorgeous. Thanks for the great reaction Harri 🌺✌️

[@johnthegreek5836]

Harri, you’re a true man to feel emotions! Dan Fogelberg was a great singer songwriter

[@christinetarquin3773]

Hari, you wake up so emotional maybe because...even in your dreams you are just so in touch with your heart. And being as sensitive as you are, that's what makes you so enjoyable to listen to.These are raw emotions. I love listening to a cool guy who is true to his ❤️.

[@ethelynchristopher6995]

Had the privilege of seeing him in concert twice. One was him with his whole band and the other was a purely acoustic concert. No electronic instruments....just him with an acoustic guitar and a piano. Check out the song Netherlands if you want to hear a soaring song.

[@stevetournay6103]

Wish I'd seen DF live. Never had the chance. Re Nether Lands, that whole album is a diamond...

[@deb1425]

Makes me so happy to see that you love Dan Fogelberg! I fell in love with him when I was a teenage girl. The first song I ever heard by him was "Next Time". It really showcases his amazing piano and vocal skills and pulls at the Heartstrings.

[@juliethompson5160]

Thank you.

[@valentinat3250]

This was our wedding song- comes with beautiful memories❤️

[@maliabrown4390]

So this song came out in 1979, I was 19 years old and played this for my parents. This is their love song. They both had tears in their eyes when it was done!! Ba bam 🥰

[@karensheline6958]

I was introduced to Dan in about 1973, by a neighbor lady…I passed the torch on, as we all should do. Dan was not just a musician but a poet and a sage! Listen, learn and live thru the love of his spirit ✌️

[@SilverMinstrel]

I agree with Ray. Same Old Lang Syne is such a well written, performed and moving song.

[@robtaylor5550]

There's an American television producer named Dan Fogelman, and every time his name pops in a show's credits, I always think of Dan Fogelberg and this beautiful song. (Sometimes Leader of the Band, too.) Great pick and reaction! I remember this one fondly.

[@davidmaholchic6146]

Beautiful song beautiful reactor love you

[@kcctradio5751]

I grew up with this music. My wish is that everyone can find the love that this song talks about.

[@cynthiahoffmann5757]

This is a rabbit hole that you will definitely be better for going down. I have all of his albums and he is an absolute genius. We lost Dan in 2007 but we have his music "Ever On."

[@vintagebrew1057]

The one about his dad "Leader of the Band" is a favourite.

[@karensheline6958]

A beautiful single lady who was my neighbor introduced me to Dan back in 1974. I’ve been a diehard fan since!! I’ll never forget the day we lost him….such a beautiful soul ❣️.

[@beedeegee9374]

Simply beautiful

[@beeseewill2407]

Dan Fogelberg "Rhythm of the Rain" next please.Fogelberg covers it beautifully.Also "Heartbreak Hotel".

[@MrCRayAnderson]

He was a great crooner. My favorite of his is "Same Old Lang Syne". It's a very touching little Holiday story of an old love from the past. I enjoy seeing your videos!

[@bkm2797]

I was trying so hard to remember the name of this song, it's one of favorites, so Thank you!

[@reneelyons6836]

Pure Beauty!!!!!

[@MaryAnnBaker-d9i]

Dan did not consider himself a poet, but these lyrics bely that notion. A supremely romantic song that has been performed at many weddings over the years. Ever on, Dan. ❤❤

[@cog4life]

It is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded by him. It is a beautiful dreamy love song. ❤️

[@marybaillie8907]

Just a perfect song. Always loved this song. For sure was the first dance at many 💑 weddings. Thanks Jamie and Harri. Knew you'd love it Harri. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@CyclingM1867DubbysMama]

Oh, this song!! I've not heard it in a while, but it's been one of my favourites since the first time I heard it. So beautiful!

[@michaelplotino7046]

Hi Harri, When my wife and I were married in 1986, this was our wedding song. Dan is one of my biggest influences; I miss him so much! - Brooklyn Mike

[@MrAlcazar]

It's so nice to know that young people appreciate this music.

[@tinameyer7080]

And NOW you know why "I am a Rock" exists for some of us.....you cannot experience a love like that and just "bounce back" when they die....tooooo young....

[@dagmar.6954]

One of my favorite artists. Dan Fogelberg was such a great folk rock singer songwriter & storyteller. His biggest hit was "Longer" in 1979. He said he wrote this song while vacationing in Maui, lounging in a hammock one night & looking up at the stars. He had so many good songs including "Nexus", "The Reach", "Hard To Say", "Leader Of The Band" & "Run For The Roses". We lost him much too soon in 2007.

[@lindastarr4699]

This song is pure poetry, literally. This song was played at many weddings.

[@bookjeannie]

Another fave, Sketches. Have most of his albums & just as many of his piano music. I’m 70, Native Coloradan. I was so lucky to see him in person many times. Can visualize him sitting at the piano just feet away from me in Vail. Listening while in the Rocky mountains was magical. That voice, his songwriting, & oh so handsome. Gone much too soon. RIP Dan. Thankful I can still listen to your beautiful music. 🎶💙💔❤️

[@thanksamill]

I have this song accompanying a slideshow of photos of my late husband. It always reminds me of him. Gorgeous!💔🌹🎶 "Same old lang syne" is another heartbreaker!

[@pattymckitrick7436]

❤RIP Dan.❤

[@BillGraper]

Amazing #2 hit from when I was 8! I loved this song so much as a kid, and still do!!!

[@markbryant5965]

This was Dan's biggest chart hit. I would suggest some other songs of his for your consideration - "There's a Place in the World For a Gambler" - "The Reach" and "Leader of the Band." The last one inspired by his father.

[@chrisoakley5830]

My favorite song by him. Great memories from 1980.

[@l-bird]

I just left a comment that said basically the exact same thing :)

[@kenperkins7921]

Those 70s geniuses really knew how to touch people!

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

this turned out to be his biggest hit. We lost Dan to prostate cancer but he left behind lots of great music. Next try "Only The Heart May Know" a duet with the incredible Emmylou Harris.

[@kentharris3878]

Hey, Harri, love your reactions. If you loved Dan's voice on this one you must check more of his early recordings. My suggestions: "There's A Place In The World For A Gambler," "Part Of The Plan," "To The Morning," "Looking For A Lady" and "Wysteria." These are all from his first two albums, "Home Free" and "Souvenirs"...both excellent in their entirety.

[@darrellmann7468]

You hit it spot on that's exactly who I see the song at the beginning he say s I am in love with u then later I've been in love with u as they get older beautiful lyrics

[@kerrym9254]

I agree with you. Fogelberg was a great storyteller. You should check out "Tucson Arizona"

[@patgille]

Hi new to watching you and just had to comment. My sister, about 40 years ago, sang this to her groom during the wedding ceremony. No dry eyes in the church for sure. I appreciate your reaction to this song.

[@kimmaedke2763]

Beautiful words and melody.

[@devonvergiels5185]

He has long been a voice that I find utterly beautiful. Miss him. And if you hadn't reacted like you did I might worry about you

[@cls6055]

I wanted this played at my wedding..I regret not doing. Beautiful song 🎵 for the ages.

[@AntonioSanchez-td6bk]

This song is so beautiful that it deserves a complement with Bob Scaggs' song "Sierra", another fantastic ballad. Saludos

[@doplinger1]

Wonderful song, a big hit as well - it was our wedding song in 1981.
