  • @NYChica23 I am, lucky too that he (hubby) has an amazing singing voice.. We just celebrated our 28th anniversary, 1 day after the anniversary of Dan's passing

  • Comment removed

  • It's a shame that Dan's no 'longer' with us, right, gang? God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Have a great 2012!

  • Thank you yet again, Bill.

    "Longer", drifting around the universe it saw Dan & decided Dan would give it a good home. Thank you Dan for catching "Longer" under the stars and giving it lyrics making it one of the most beautiful love songs ever.

  • Magic!!!!!!

  • Our song, for the love of my life. I will love you always

  • @Irishangel831 Mine too...in 1988, and has been singing it ever since, along with all the other great Fogelberg songs. Dan had the heart and soul of a true poet! I love this montage, so personal. RIP my brother, gone too soon. Thanks for posting this <3

  • @christen1891

    Dear, "I" was never married to Dan Fogelberg, he was married to Jean from 2002 until his death.. My own hubby sang Dan's song "Longer" to me when WE married in 1983..It is as true today as it was then

  • @Irishangel831 tee hee

  • One of the first times that I heard this song was when I was on shore patrol duty. It made my evenings. Thank you for making this song.

  • Happy 60th birthday Dan, wherever you are. With this song alone you so enriched the world you left too soon...

  • A great song by a truly great singer ! Dan Fogelberg was one of the best singers of our time. His great voice and music will live on forever !

  • I am dedidcating this song to my beautiful wife, Tina. I have loved you since we were born and, I always will !

    Jeff,,,,

  • This was my wedding song , I loved it 24 years ago and I still do !

    

  • possibly one of the most beautiful love songs ever written..by certainly one of the worlds finest artists,Dan Fogelberg.....

  • I am weeping as I listen. Tears of joy and sorrow. Your greatest hits are the soundtrack to my childhood, driving back to Long Beach, CA from Eugene, OR. I was so angry at my parents for moving there from So. Ca. But, my mom drove us back to Long Beach every summer from when we moved there until I turned 18. Your GREATEST HITS album was played on every drive down. When I was 12 or 13 and I heard it every drive down, I finally got it and wiped the tears away as mom asked me "what is wrong/"

  • when was this song first released?

  • @NebulaSu  It was on his 1979 Album "Phoenix " released Nov 30 1979

  • For my son, the love of my life on his 21st birthday! I love you Michael Saverino!

  • Like many, we too played this song at our wedding..... What a wonderful song....it's magical...... Dan Fogelberg's voice and spirit will always be with us. What a gift he gave to the world! :)

  • I was 8 years old when this song came out and love it today at 40, just as much as i loved it then!!

  • Mr. Fogelberg should still be here with his pretty wife Jean, still writing and performing those beautiful songs. Life and death are truly unforgiving, arbitrary, and capricious. The world is diminished by the loss of this artist and gentleman.

  • Rest in peace, Mr. Fogelberg. We miss you.

  • My life is horrible beyond anyone's wildest hallucinations. People have aimed weapons at me. I tried to end my life twice and wound up in the hospital for one of them, I was in accidents that should have ended my life, and I never flinched. But this song makes me cry. I used to turn the radio station when I was a kid if this song came on when I was around other people. Right now tears are pouring down my cheeks.

  • this is beautiful.

  • heard this song in the ''About Schmidt'' movie. beautiful, had to look it up

  • Dan hit #2 in Billboard, 3-15-80. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, Dan.

  • Show me the love 4 ever,25 years together,we need more time to keep warm our saul.I love u honny i will stay with u ever.This song 4 you,no my bud,keep in the freezer.

  • Simply gorgeous :)

  • I love Dan Fogelberg!!! Brings back suck good mems of the 70's.

  • We had a soloist sing this at our wedding in 1984 - 27 years married and together 34 years - still love this song!

  • We had a soloist sing this at out wedding in 1984 - 27 years married and together 34 years - still love this song!

  • As a young child, I would be awoken by this wonderful song playing on my dad's radio downstairs as he prepared for the workday. This brings back very fond memories of my childhood. This was like taking in a piece of heaven before facing my day on earth...

  • Sometimes you just wonder how something so beautiful comes from someone. Dan looked like a beautiful person both inside and out.

  • AAAAAAW! :' )

  • In case you didn't know, a brilliant Spanish cover of this song was recorded one year later after its original release. "Longer" was adapted by Spanish songwriter Luis Gómez-Escolar under the title of "Mucho más", for singer/actress Ana Belén to sing. The tune was released as single from her 1980 album "Con las manos llenas" (With full hands)

  • We all miss Dan so very much, but it looks like he had a very blessed life! Let that comfort you! In his 97 liner notes, he said he did just about everything he planned to do, the way he wanted-that's my general overview-LOL I only wish more people could live their dreams, because many of us, including me, can't for one reason or another! For me, it was a devastating back injury in 1998! Peace, BobbyK

  • The music almost sounded like a peaceful Sci-Fi style.

  • what a perfect love song..

  • Pretty Song.

  • love Dan!!!

  • I remember the day he died... I was real little, and I went into my mom's room and she was listening to Dan's music. I didn't know what was going on, but I remember listening to this song and crying her eyes out. about 2 years later, my mom told me what happened. Every time I hear this song, I think of my mom. Rest in peace, Dan. You are a remarkable man and singer.

  • @cambeatsmusic10

    You must not be that old because he only died three years ago.

  • @ThaSchwab got that right 

  • Thank you for sharing these pictures with this beautiful song.

  • My dad died of prostate cancer two months before Dan so this song will always be dedicated to Roger Morse, I miss you every day. Thank you, Dan, for a beautiful voice and music that touches my heart. Help fight this terrible disease that takes the ones we love to early. Thank you, Jean, my heart goes out to you. Peace forever.

  • My late husband and I played this beautiful song at our wedding 25 years ago. Unfortunately my husband passed around the same time as Dan did I miss the music and my man very much. But thank you for this beautiful video and the music that touches all of our hearts so deeply.

  • @TheLaf971 i hope your well and i hope your life gets better kind regards billy from newcastle

  • The greatest love song of all time. What an amazing man he was.

  • great song and great video.you did a great job.i enjoyed watching it.thanks

  • I remember as a little kid my mother used this song to make us fall asleep and it worked everytime.

  • What a great singer-song writer. Gone way too soon!! Thanks for the pictures.

  • What a great singer-song writer. Gone way too soon!!

  • One of the best love songs ever written & performed.In my opinion.I never tire of listening to it....Superb.

  • R.I.P. Dan, there will never be another talent like yours.

  • listen to "there's a place in the world for a gambler"... i played it during a funeral, and no dry eyes were present... what a PURE musician, much like lennon and mcCartney... i hope he died peacefully

  • miss you dan...your music will always touch us

  • What a great song

  • I re-discovered this gem listening to a 1984 recording of KGGI FM, California. Song writing at its simple best...and Dan's vocals gives it a soothing harmony. Today's music charts may no longer have time for Dan but his recordings will forever remain a testimony of that great musician who unfortunately succumbed to prostrate cancer in 2005

  • Thank you Dan for all your beautiful creations ........

  • Beautiful images.  Thanks Jean.

  • Beautiful song and a wonderful collage of photos. Great job!!!1

  • Such a wonderful tribute to a great artist and human being--we miss you Dan!

    T Riley

  • so sweet

  • Ttttt

  • RIP beautiful Dan, brilliant song, brilliant man, - I had this song played at my 2nd wedding in January 2005, touched everyones heart xxx

  • I remember when I heard this song for the first time _ I was still young and full of dreams - and for years I thought that this was amongst the most moving songs ... (still have an old recording of it on tape)

    well, it's still a very moving song to me now .... just that I can't think of a face or a name or a dream to put with it anymore when I listen ...

    PS. Some great photos of Dan here :)

  • I am recently watching these video's and songs and It's kind of helping me through nostalgic time in my life of the people I miss. 

  • Thank you so much for this video. I loved all of the pics of Dan. Still can't believe he is gone.

I dont know what tomorrow has in store for us but I do know Cindy ur all I want and need. Dan thanx for a truly touching song!

  • You are my Baby 329, Forever!

  • Billboard's #33 song of '80. Dan hit #1 AC, #2 pop, #85 country. God bless! RIP, Dan.

  • Very beautiful, refreshing song.

  • This is one of my favorite love songs by Dan Fogelberg. He was so handsome. RIP

  • My uncle played this song for us this weekend. He is such a gentle spirit. He has such a simple faith and loving heart. I kinda wanna be like him. The earth could quake, and the sky could split in two and all sorts of calamity could hit and he would just calmly say "We are going to have faith, pray, and trust God." There is something comforting about people like that!

  • Lucky guy to have been truly loved by such a beautiful woman

  • How very touching.. Thank you for sharing

    He truly was a gentleman.

  • I walked down the isle to this Nov. 16 1980, that was 30 yrs ago happy anniversary to me

  • I used to sit and listen to this song while I rocked my firstborn daughter. I still cry every time I hear it. It has become my love song to her. She grew up to be an awesome beautiful woman inside and out! Thank you Dan!

  • It's very hard to know Dan Fogelberg is gone to heaven.. once his photos appear on this wonderful clip...wonderful voice and artist we'll miss!

  • did he die?

  • Live in Brazil . I love the music of Dan Fogelberg

  • This video tribute was so nicely done. I am only sorry that I didn't realize what a true talent Dan was until after his passing. I remember his name and his songs from my high school days, but just didn't really realize how awesome his musical talent was until just recently. Thanks so much for this great tribute and a special thank you to Jean for allowing us all a small look into Dan's life and your last few years together. Dan is greatly missed, that's for sure!!!

  • What a Beautiful tribute to a Beautiful Man and an Amazing Artist. I have loved Dan's Music ever since I heard Home Free, over 30 years ago. His music is a wonderful legacy that we all can treasure. Thanks for sharing , He is deeply missed.

  • @jwhitepngnboy I love the music of Dan Fogelberg

    

  • Rest in peace, Dan.

  • omg these pics are great, thank you for sharing

  • This is wonderful! Thank you so much. This is the best tribute to Dan that I have seen.

  • I am so glad I came across this...just beautiful.

    Thank you.

  • I married a musician in the late 70's. In the good days we would sing and laugh and play guitars. These songs all make me cry. I guess I'm sad for the loss of my 20's and how stupid I acted back then. I'm sorry Michael.

  • OMG.. i feel like crying. T_T

  • I feel very grateful and thankful to Dan Fogelberg. He gave us the song that we can give to the one we truly love most.

  • Thank you for loading this beautiful clip.. Been in love with this song since my secondary school days.. My coming wedding's must have song...

  • While he is a great singer and songwriter, he is far from the best. You mean he is your favorite which I think most of us can accept. Nice song. Thanks for sharing.

  • Beautiful tribute - Beautiful Song - Beautiful Man - Rest In Peace and know you are very missed!! From a fan of well over 30 years!!

  • i know this is a love song in the love song sense... but my daughter who is 9 left for school this morning and looked at her baby brother who is 4 months old and said.. "i love you like the sun loves a mountain".. i truely dont think ive ever heard anything more beautiful...made me think of this song...

  • Brilliant memories of an inspiring human being. Only got to see him twice in this life, but hope to pick with him in the next!

    All the best,

    Craig Vance

  • BEAUTIFUL LIFE !

  • When I was 22 and listened to this song I knew it would be my wedding song. 10 years later it was....he was a special person

  • Beautiful, beautiful song. Thank you, Dan, and rest in peace.

  • Remembering Dan on his birthday This is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded

  • This is a hauntingly beautiful song. I had no idea Dan had passed. He looked so fit and healthy in these pics. God rest his poetic soul and beautiful voice that will never be forgotten.

  • i'm a seventeen year old girl..

    well..not everyone on my age would like these types of songs..

    but i believe that this is what a REAL SONG is..

    very meaningful, so touching, and very beautiful..♥

  • @georgette009 God bless great kids like you that appreciate real talent

  • I've always loved this song. Such a beautiful video and talent.

  • he looks like bret heart

    

  • Thank you again Bill. One of Dan's oh so beautiful love songs with yet another beautiful video by you. Jean is so sharing; the more I read that she's written & listened to in an interview with her, she's an amazing woman. She would have to be, as, finally, thankfully!, Dan found his True Love when he found Jean. So interesting & so moving to me to know what 0.55 is. What a love Dan describes in "Longer". All I can convey in words is "Sheer Perfection". Absolutely Beautiful~Absolutely Perfect.

  • Quite simply, perfection.

  • ...to be in that kind of boundless love...!

  • What a beautiful song! Thank you Dan for this masterpiece. RIP my friend :)

  • This is such a moving tribute to Dan. It definitely brought me to tears. The pictures are absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing with all the other fans out there.

  • 這首歌與影片真是太美了,令人深深著迷,真感謝您的分享.

  • @selina984 Translation: This song and video is so beautiful, it fascinated, I really appreciate your sharing. Back Translation: 〜這首歌曲和視頻是如此美麗,它迷住了,我真的很感謝你的分享。

  • 28AUG2010 Dan Fogelberg Memorial Garden dedication in Peoria IL

  • Thank you so much for sharing. Very Beautiful.

  • I'm sorry that I didn't see or comment on this video before, it is lovely! I absolutely love how the photos show us a bit of Dans real life. It's obvious that Dan and Jean shared a beautiful life together and I'm so glad his last years were so happy! :)

  • a very very beautiful song.

    i always appreciate this whenever i hear it.

    <3 <3 <3

  • His tone ... clear, crisp, beautiful .... like a beautiful fall morning .... Before seeing Dan in concert I had never seen a professional singer perform LIVE and sound BETTER than on a recording. He had an AMAZING gift and is seriously missed!

  • Thank you so much for posting this. I was fortunate enough to see Dan in concert on a few occassions .... and always is small, intimate theaters .... Of the many many concerts I've been to in my life, Dan's voice was like no other!!! It was filled with an energy that filled the room with love.

  • continued.....Many thanks to Jean for releasing these poignant and personal moments that reach us as deeply as his music. He sure appeared to really "live" in the moment...maybe living more than many of us might do in 80+ yrs. Thanks to Bill as well for producing this wonderful compilation.

  • Comment removed

  • At 49 soon, Dan's music sure impacted my late teens and 20's, yet even more I think today as I learn to appreciate him. I remember spending all day on You tube the day he passed listening and crying a river. I'm a military vet but how can you be human and not well with tears upon hearing of his passing then listening to these songs? It's been 2.5 years and I find myself doing this again after hearing Longer over the airwaves on my way home tonight..

  • Una de las canciones más bellas que he escuchado en idioma inglés; su autor e intérprete, Dan Fogelberg, ha muerto a los 56 años, víctima de un cáncer prostático, en Diciembre del 2007. Este tema lo escuché por vez primera en el '79, y de inmediato adquirí el álbum que lo contenía. Es parte del legado que Dan nos ha dejado. Saludos desde Monterrey, México.

  • Has to be one of the voices of the 70's

  • rip dan =(

  • One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and love. Sad to loose him to a horrible thing like cancer. At least we still have his music and the memory's.

  • I am 42 year-old Korean man. I always thought of this song as part of my breath and feeling.

  • Thank you so much for this beautiful video. This has always been one of my favorite songs...so simple...and so beautiful. Danny was a genius! He is deeply missed.

  • Alot of us grew up listening to his music. This song was very popular when I was a child, and I have always loved it.

  • This is awesome.  I grew up listening to Dan and still listen to his music with the same feeling I had when I heard it for the first time. He was a great gift to us. Thanks very much.

  • Thank You Jean for opening you heart and memories.God bless you and My the day you me Dan in heaven it is a joyious day!!

  • A wonderful group of photos. Perfect for the late great Dan's beautiful song. One of the prettiest romantic ballads ever written. One of my all time favorites. A million thanks for sharing them with us! You've made my day & my week! :)

  • my wife of 20 yrs died at 42 yrs old....i left a copy of these lyrics in her hands before they closed her casket.

    before...every day since...long after the stars burn out and i die....I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!!

    I'll see you again Debbie....soon, but never soon enough.

  • I have ALWAYS loved this song; it's one of the greatest love songs of ANY time.

    Dan was a great talent, and he and his wife seemed to genuinely love each other.

    Didn't know he was a cat fan. He was a SERIOUS renaissance man, huh?

  • A great man we all miss!

  • Great song!!!! Absolutely love it. His voice is incredible.

  • Grew up with Dan music...I am a 40-year-old mother of 4 and the day I found out Dan died...I cried my eyes out. I will miss you Dan.

  • Beautiful love song... Tender words...

    Many thanks for sharing...

    Wonderful video, thanks and greetings to JMEagle101 *****

  • I used to love hearing this song when I was a kid, but I just 'discovered' this song early this year after doing a search of the lyrics. I read alittle about Dan on Wikipedia and he seems like a person who was in touch with both is outer self as well as his inner spirituality. He will be sorely missed as one of the icons of folk music.

  • What a lovely video!!! Luv Dan's music!!

  • whats the mountain at :55?
