The Sand and The Foam ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ]

[SoothesMySoul]

It's official, Bill. Going through them all. Thankimg you, Bill, is inadequate. Thanking you, Dan, is inadequate. I should have told you how much all you sang to me while you were here meant to me; we literally grew up together; how I wish I had told you then....not now... but I believe you can hear me.... as I continue to hear you....

[Naiant]

Listen to his precision -- no sliding, no measures mostly grace notes. Everything he does is for a purpose. Glorious!

[PocoPortillo]

If this music reaches your heart you know love.If these words find your soul you know peace.If Dan Fogelberg captivated a moment in your life you know your life is that much better...if only for a moment.But Dan has made my life better because he taught me it is o.k. to express love for my wife, my family and friends through his words and music.God bless him.

[HiVybe]

...these notes, these silences, these progressions helped throw light on some deep cellular memories that have troubled me.  Like the sand and the foam on a washing beach new ways to forgive and untangle the missteps resound to the last measure...

[AegisNova]

To combine Fogelberg and Gibran -- par excellence, JM -- almost too good for the likes of YouTube and the Internet!  We thank you!

[cdsm294]

Another classic piece, nice one JM.

[shmoopywoopy]

Have Innocent age on vinyl, can't get it here on cd, love it sooo much!

[kevinhof63]

This song has actually brought me to tears. There aren't many songs that can do that. Dan was more than just a songwriter and musician. He had a deep appreciation of all the finer things in life, and thru his music he has taught me to do the same. He has made a profound impact on my life and how I live it.

[JMEagle101]

@kevinhof63 So very true about Dan, may his inspiration ever on...

[jypsywyndstarship]

Listening to this today in rememberance of Dan. So greatly missed.

[Lunar3Eclipse]

This song touches a place so deep in my soul that I cannot describe it; but that is not the part that amazes me. The amazing part is that it does it to me every single time i hear it, and has my whole life. <3 You Dan, Angel of Music

[maizaccc]

what a beautiful video for a wonderful song! Thank you dear Bill!

[headcaseworker]

Thank you, Bill, you've done it again! The Innocent Age is my all time favorite album of Dan's! Each song touches my soul differently! When I walk on the beach, I hear this song in each wave.

We miss you, Dan!!

[Sandandthefoam]

Wow! Love it. Used to sing this to my niece & nephew at bedtime (along with Gypsy Wind), watching their eyes slowly closing to a deep sleep. Wonder what they dreamt? Wonder if they remember......??

[JMEagle101]

Sandandthefoam,

You used this song as your YouTubername, it must be your favorite! This is your song, my friend!

Bill

[Sandandthefoam]

So true - though it is difficult to choose an absolute favourite song of Dan's - there are so many, but yes - this is certainly one of them.

Thank you for your wonderful vids. They are truly special. Please don't stop.

[SoothesMySoul]

@Sandandthefoam How lovely that you sang your niece and nephew to sleep with this! Surely it took them to beautiful dreams, and bedtime songs are never forgotten.

[AvoDJ]

@Sandandthefoam bloody hell!! what a fantastic thought, just love your comment and this tune. Great stuff!! Happy days, to you and yours xx

[billp1955]

Bill,

How do you know my favorite Dan songs? Sand and foam existed "under the radar" until now! Dan was the best lyricist, musician, and artist of our generation (in my opinion)...so thanks for creating these new video expressions that celebrate Dan's excellence!! Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept...one of my favorite Dan lines!

Ever on!!!

Bill

[JMEagle101]

Thank you Bill, driving to Long Island, NY this July 4th weekend I played "The Innocent Age" CDs on the road somehow this song "The Sand & the Foam" touched my heart so deeply repeat playing many times decided to create the video there you have it Indeed Dew on the grass like the tears the night wept is written so beautifully glad that you enjoy my friend! Let it shine! Bill

[Mariaglenn]

Well of course..you've done it again..it's beautiful Bill...thanks from all his fans..

River..

[JMEagle101]

Hi River

Isn't Dan passionate? His song sings to your heart and melt it, he is like an angel, gone too soon... I miss him.

Bill

[wesalittle]

Wonderful video! I was compelled to learn this one when I first bought the album (LP & again later on cassette & later again the double CD). The reason I bought my very 1st guitar capo.

Thank you for putting great, great video to my favorite Dan album cuts! You make my day every time! Your fan,

Lee

[JMEagle101]

Thank you Lee,

Dan left such a beautiful song as a gift to us

his music like the sea and the shore will remain forever and ever...

I enjoyed your creation too my friend!

Bill
