Or grow a heart. Yeeshhh! I have loved this song for over 20 years. It is sad to think of how many have settled for warm, safe, and dry. I refused to do that and I ran into the love of my life at the mall after 8 yrs of not seeing him and now we are together again and I'm so glad I never settled and that I have the love of fairy tales that everyone should have and deserve. I'm putting this song on my iPod tonight! Where was I when this came out? | Reviewer: Jill ------ About the song There's a Place in the World for a Gambler performed by Dan Fogelberg Okay, so I was a kid in the seventies. My head was filled with Donny Osmond, quick curl Barbie, and Star wars. However, I've always had an ear for good music, and grew up listening to the radio. Why haven't I heard of this song until I'm in my forties? It's beautiful! It's melodic! It's timeless! Did it not get airplay? So sad! This could have been a contender! Bittersweet sad song of the heart | Reviewer: Archie ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg I have always heard this song and never knew the lyrics, and after reading the lyrics, it took me back as well, and it moved me to tears. Because it's so sweet and sincere, innocent and full of love and Pain all in the same. The words for this song was perfect in everyway. Anyone who reads these lyrics and is not touched or moved by them, don't know the feeling of love, and love lost. The Pain and comfort of being with and meeting your ex, that you haven't in a long time. Thank you Dan Fogelberg. pondering the loss | Reviewer: Susan ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg I'm thrilled. I just found a Fogelberg song online that I only knew as a 45 single, Hearts and Crafts. When first I heard of Dan's death, I was shocked mostly, losing him so young. But as I listen even now to the haunting lyrics and melody of this long-lost song, I find I'm finally grieving for my loss. Dan's gift was sharing his life and love through his beautiful songs, and his music provides a constant backdrop to my life, the primary artist in my paltry music collection. What consoles me? I can contemplate this more as I listen to H&C over and over and over again, poigniantly touched each time as I listen to his gorgeous voice, strong and true. Thanks, Dan. Thanks Legacy | Reviewer: Ralph Harrod ------ About the song Run For The Roses performed by Dan Fogelberg I have been looking for songs to play at my funeral. I am in the winter of my life and planing my last goodbye for my family and friends. After reading the lyrics, the "Legacy" review inspired me to choose Run for the Roses. It truly does portray ones life. Thanks! Legacy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Run For The Roses performed by Dan Fogelberg Every living creature leaves a legacy. i know this song refers to horses however I am a farm girl and this song to me embodies from birth to death. It takes us from childhood to adulthood and beyond. I have birthed, raised and sold many cattle and each generation makes you a little sadder and yet prouder at the same time. I am not from Kentucky but love horses. I am from the Shenandoah Valley, Bentonville,Va to be exact. I am only 40 but when I leave this world I will come back and haunt my nephew if he does not play this at my funeral. This song is that moving to me. I would love to see the video also. I miss Barbaro a great deal. He was an inspiration to us all. I hope to go to Louisville Ky to visit Barbaro. Disgusting... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg I absolutely HATE this song. Yes, there are people for whom the holidays bring no joy, for various and valid reasons. Heck, we all (myself included) have probably had our share of sad Christmases. The problem is, we get plenty of the negative during the rest of the the year. If you believe in the true meaning of Christmas, then you know that it's a special time based on hope, joy, and love. What in the world could possibly be wrong with focusing on just the positive during such a special time? After all, we tend to gravitate toward (or draw toward us) that which we focus on. Just something to think about. :o( my Christmas song | Reviewer: kate ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg love this song. I was hoping I would spend this Christmas making wonderful memories with a guy I really cared about ... but he dumped me for another girl so now I can relate to this Christmas song a lot more than all those happy-go-lucky, lovey-dovey ones that are played all the frickin time. I love this song, and it is DEFINITELY my fAvE of the season. Simply Beautiful | Reviewer: Di ------ About the song Longer performed by Dan Fogelberg He and John Denver were 2 of my favorite singers. Now they make music with the angels. This song is so beautiful. It's not corny or silly (the lyrics would be with a different singer). Thank you, Dan. thankyou for sharing | Reviewer: larry kent wheeler ------ About the song Run For The Roses performed by Dan Fogelberg wow.growing up in the louiville area.What a touching and heart warming story of love, passion, and beauty. Dan may god always be by your side. As your fan. Let me say Thankyou for sharing the spirit and music of Heaven with us all. First love | Reviewer: Luigi ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg This song is about a love from the past. Many of us have someone back in our younger days that we loved. This song is about meeting that person again and remembering the pain of that love. It is also about someone who settled for dry warm and safe rather than for love, and her unhappiness and lack of fulfillment. I used to think of my first wife when I heard this song, and what I lost Beautiful | Reviewer: Luigi ------ About the song Same Old Lang Syne performed by Dan Fogelberg This song is about a love from the past.

Dan Fogelberg's Best | Reviewer: Steve Borrow ------ About the song Longer performed by Dan Fogelberg Longer is probably Dan Fogelberg's best known and best loved song. It is an intimate declaration of love, reaching back and forward in time, as far as the human imagination can take it: a vow to keep the flame alight through the changing seasons. The beautiful bridge sure beats "to have and to hold as long as yea both shall live". Catch this:- I'll bring fire in the winters You'll send showers in the springs We'll fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings. Yeah, free, like two birds gliding through time together without a care in the World. Dan Fogelberg died of prostate cancer in 16 December last year. He shouldn't have, of course. He was 56 years of age, and many more beautiful songs like this one to write and perform. Tamam Shud after all. Fogelberg was very talented | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg Dan was one of the few incredibly talented, and not prone ot commerical pressure, musician-songwriters, like Todd Rundgren, and Karla Bonoff. Maybe not as commerically successful are these three, but all known by other musicians, as the talent at a highest level! "...and it's going to be a day..." | Reviewer: tim pastor ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg Since the fall of '75, I affectionately referred to Dan as "Uncle Dan"! His music stuck a chord that still resonates deep within me...the ethereal, "To the Morning", opened the flood-gates to a a great river that I'm still proud to travel down! my first girlfriend said "ya, gotta hear this new singer!" ...this beautifully haunting melody was on the first album, first side, the first song- And as far as emoting in my attempt to write & express musically,I've never been the same since! ...I know you're shining, "Uncle Dan", within the depths of my own darkness! > "...and it's going to be a day, there is really nothing left to say but come on morning..." see u soon, tim Still so deeply saddened | Reviewer: Cynthia ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg I have been a long time fan of Dan, but was still somewhat surprised and how strongly the grief took hold of me. I felt like I had lost a close family member. And, then I realize, I had. He was with me in my teens, at my marriage, I rocked my babies to his songs. He comforted me after my divorce and consoled me during the tough times of dating again and being a single mom. He was ALWAYS there. The one person I turned to when I couldn't find the words to express my own emotions. With each stage of my life, he was there. I truly have lost a member of my family and I still grieve. I hope soon to once again find the comfort in his music, instead of feeling the loss. Gone, but not forgotten | Reviewer: Alan Slawter ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg Although most artists are guarded to elude scorn or criticism, Dan would just write and sing what he thought and felt. There are millions of us who loved and appreciated the special qualities and person introspectives of his creations. I miss him, but enjoy his music more than ever as his passing emphasises how transient our time is "in the passage..." Respect for a Music Man | Reviewer: Jeff Short ------ About artist/band Dan Fogelberg My heart is still heavy with the passing of Dan, I loved his music and most importantly his song writing. I was lucky enough to meet with him and talk before he performed on stage in Knoxville, Tennessee. Thank you for your sweet soul Dan. he wrote my life. | Reviewer: earl richardson ------ About the song Leader Of The Band performed by Dan Fogelberg most moving song I have heard or sang,I missed my chance to see Danny live in Toledo last year for which I'm truly sorry.All his other songs are gifts I treasure! Wysteria Review | Reviewer: Ron Day ------ About the song Wysteria performed by Dan Fogelberg Dan Fogelberg was one of the best writers of lyrics and music ever. This song is a sad song about a women who obviously has been abused. She continues to search for the right man only to be hurt over and over. She "prostitutes" herself in seeking comfort. She wants companionship - yet is afraid of being too close. She a sad person. Dan Fogelberg will be missed for songs like Wysteria. He could bring to life a person in 4 minutes of a song.
