this song is really nice..for those people who don't like this maybe you did not idolized your father for some reason but try to listen to it carefully nd make this as a guide for you in bringing up kids,show them that you really do care.
I love the lyrics,so much meaning to me..the guitar mode reminds me so much of my father...this song really prevails the importance of a father to our life..his eternal love,although sometimes they are tried to hide their true feelings,but their spirit is priceless..and worth to treasure
the leader of the band song is one of the best music that i heard in my life...it reminds everybody to value and love our father and appreciate their tender care for us......
I wish I could have had the chance to tell my dad that I loved him even though he was a difficult person to get along with, before he passed away. Then again I wish I realized I didn't hate him like I always said I did much much sooner. Ah, regrets. Dan Fogelberg, you make me jealous.
My father just passed away and this is one of his favorite song... he used to sing this while playing his guitar even he's on abroad and on-line on Skype... I miss him so much every time I listen to this song. I love you papa...
I never met my grandpa, and I had a talk with my dad about him... My father told me he was his very best friend ever, and that everything he could tell about him was in this song. This is the song my dad chose for his dads funeral, it makes me cry every time I hear it.
I was going to cry when I heard this and then I remember my Dad telling me that real men don't cry. So I thought about something else. Oh what the hell he's dead...WAHHHHHH WAHHHHHH. That was for you Dad.
My Grandfather was a "Leader of the Band" as he directed Orchestras and played Clarinet in numerous Jazz bands. My Grandmother played with him often-she sang and played keyboards. I, too, wanted to be a professional vocalist. I did and did well for some time...but I hated the traveling! Dan's songs hit a very close chord with me. My spirit is so deep and ethereal and this music calls to me!! Sorry so long but so many thoughts right now!!
this song speaks volumes to me as my father too was a musician born to a cabinet maker and he taught me to sing. It never took me anywhere but now hes gone and I miss him so much. I would give anything to have my leader of the band back in my life. I love you daddy.
I had no idea Dan had passed away until I read about it in an online biography. :-( Well, it is obvious that his legacy will continue to carry on at full strength! He will NOT be forgotten and we will miss him...
I love this song & this song make my tears fall...
I played this song over & over until I fall asleep. This song reminds me of my days with my father. Now that I had family of my own I miss those time when I'm with my Papa. "Papa, I hope one day magkasama mo ko sa pagbibike mo"...
U taught me how to be tough & live life to it's fullest.
This song is dedicated to my dad Lester Wilber Sr. Yes I'm the milkmans daughter and I'm proud of it. I miss our trips on the milk route dad and I love you and miss you more than you can ever know. Lester Wilber Sr, 12/13/1911 - 6/27/1987
i played this for my dad 25 years ago. he's not a musical man but tells me every time he hears it, he understands it more & more. i'm the only son out of 4 to follow his trade. his occasional praises meant the world to me! thanks Dan
What a moving song Dan wrote in memory of his Father. He was indeed a living legacy to his Dad. As Dan said, before his father died there was nothing left unsaid between them. All of Dan's music has so much meaning. I would imagine that "Leader Of The Band" had so incredibly much meaning to Dan. Although he left no children to (perhaps) live on thru him in their music he will always live on in my heart through all of his beautiful music he created and shared with me/us. Forever "Let It Shine"!
I love the song who makes me a better person..when I listen this song it gives me time to remember the past that was happen between me and my Father....
