I WANT TO RUN EVERY TIME I HEAR THIS SONG

[scrumbulent]

got excited for a second thinking this was Fogelberg taking on the Garcia classic :-( still Fogelberg at his best though :-)

[libbymydog]

One of those songs that brings tears to your eyes! Dan, you left us way too early!!

[odusearl]

The Kentucky Derby was yesterday and I just had to hear "Run for the Roses" by Dan Fogelberg a few times!

[shiboof]

Miss you, Dan. Still enjoy your music almost daily. Are you smiling while we smile listening?

[ritadanslove]

I live in Brazil. Beautiful, beautiful. I love Dan Fogelberg and his music

[crashman889]

Masterful.....every word in his songs mean something. ...."and it's something unknown that drives you and carries you home......"

[opheliasopus]

I never had a chance to see him live...thanks for sharing!

[tillmand]

Here we are in 2010 - and still missing this man.. What an unbelievable person. I know his wife must still miss him terribly.

[fendernewporter]

Damn !!! It just pisses me off ! We need more of this in the world. Miss You Dan

[msmyglory]

That was beautiful!!! I do miss this man!! He speaks volumes in just one song. All of his songs are my favorite. I am so glad that you posted this so we can always remember the man with the beautiful voice and heart touching lyrics. I will never ever stop listening to his music. I wish I could speak words as eloquently as he did. If I could, I could truly say what is in my heart when I hear his music.

[santamara]

This is just so beautiful! Amazing talent!

Thank you for posting and to StuartStreet for featuring!

R.I.P.Dan Fogelberg

[billr1000]

Beautiful.  Thanks for sharing this great song and video.

[Nibiru3600KN]

Ich denke, das ist eines seiner schönsten Lieder, die ich von ihm kenne. Traumhaft schön! Den Song habe ich in den 80ger Jahren sehr oft angehört. Daran kann man sich gar nicht satt hören.... Zauberhaft!

[66kimmie]

Love this song!

[gordiebell]

Scottish and heard this song for first time today....beautiful.

[KabbyNeil]

Well richgurlie101---- Now here we are in 2010 and the Kentucky Derby is happening two days from now. I don't really care about the Derby, but it always reminds me of this song by Dan Foelberg. Loved the song when it came out. Loved Dan's 'story-telling' music. He and Harry Chapin's music, loved so very much and miss them both so very much!! Must say, my favorite song by Dan was "Leader Of The Band" makes me cry everytime I hear it, even to this day. Take Care All!!!

[judijudijudidee]

will i ever be able to watch this and not cry???

so far, no.

God, i loved this man

[chrisbannisterone]

Dan was one of the greatest ever, simple as that

[dbixable]

I would sing this song to my baby son who is blind and has cerebral palsy. At 7he started riding horses-What words and music can do!

[dbixable]

what a talent

[SoothesMySoul]

Thank you so much for this, tho it moved me to tears. In a rare interview w/Dan on YouTube he stated he was going to the Kentucky Derby Races & a few days before going he wrote this song. Absolutely amazing what he did~wrote~sang~performed for us~the beliefs that were good & true that he stood for~never quit commiting himself to. Most of all, he gave of himself, to his fans, until his body could give no more, actually apologizing for having to cancel his last tour. Always for me, Dan Will Shine!

[alphabeta123100]

Was he sick when he died ? Good talented man really !

[kevinhof63]

Dan died December 16, 2007 from prostate cancer. He found out he had the disease in May 2004, nine months after this was filmed. I've read that he wasn't feeling well when this was filmed so he might have been ill already.

[jonieheffner]

@kevinhof63 ....oh no....i did'nt know....i'm just kind of stunned and delayed

on this huge sympathy i am feeling 3 years later.

[platanotaco]

This song is special since I grew up in Western Kentucky. Now that live in Arizona, it makes me appreciate the great people of the south and also the legend this guy was. There will never be another Dan Fogelberg.

[tsgosnell]

Artist like Dan are fading away too fast, this new generation will never produce talent and soulful sounds like this, its sad really

[jbfan2000]

I love & respect that man, we miss you Dan!

[wilsonclubs]

wait, did he die?

[jenzia2]

Sadly, yes  December 2007.

I miss you Dan.

[jbfan2000]

yes on December 16, 2007

[pammie5656]

I love him! where will our country go without people like him and Jacson Browne, we must bless him in heaven and pray you go Dan !!!!!!! you ere awesome here and you are awsome now!!!!!!!!!

[sheleenamarie4]

my dad got me into his music and i know this song by heart

[countrysinger1952]

I do, too. Not only am I a singer, but I'm also a horseback rider and I like it for this reason.

[steviebear59]

He'll be missed very much. Thank God that Dan helped put Peoria on the map. My parents house is one mile from his old childhood home. Peoria is very proud of you, Dan and so am I. Rest in peace.

[seanburke100]

He was a gift.

[dianaknows]

I just lost my brother this year, about the same age. The finality of death really gets you then. Dan's songs were so "telling" in the lyrics. All the things he said, we should remember to say to our loved ones. Often, you don't get 2nd chances. We just think because they're "young", death won't happen. Since my brother was younger than me by just a couple of years, now I seem too reminded of our mortality. Tell them how much they are appreciated, etc.

[pammie5656]

you are awsome" hang in there we love you and so does Dan we all have to believe that !!!! you will be fine better than fine !!!

[Docjay49]

Saw Dan on the Full Circle tour at the Keswick Theater outside Philly. Marvelous night. Great Concert.Bad Date. Didn't appreciate the gravitas of "30 years later"

Vaya Con Dios,Dan!

Doc

[SoothesMySoul]

The last time I saw Dan perform was at an ampitheater~outside where people are usually doing more partying than listening. Just Dan in a tuxedo playing his piano & singing. He captivated all! Nothing but his music was heard. What an amazing performance! He did nothing to "command" this 100% attention of all there: it was a given. Never knew this was my last ime 2 see him alive. Wish I had taken time while he was here to let him know how much he & his music always meant to me. TY for posting!

[IBeFree1957]

Last time I saw Dan was Spring of "94" Ft Worth, TX ... Will Rodgers Arena--- Such a talented man head the place in the palm of his hands...

[ouiseldarnoc]

@SoothesMySoul You did show him by being there at his concert. Check out his official website and/or Living Legacy site and you'll see (if it's still posted) how amazed his was at the love shown by his fans during those last years while he fighting cancer. He knew he was loved.

[santamara]

@SoothesMySoul

Wow! You were meant to to be there:)

I miss him too, and understand!

[duruturk52]

Peace be with you.

[jaynac]

This so brings back great memories of a fun time in my life. RIP Dan

[lovinlisamae]

.Always wanted to hear you live, never did. One on the bucket list I will not get to in this life. Thank-you for the beauty and comfort you brought into my life. If our lives are measured by the joy we bring into the lives of others, then I wish I were wearing your boots.

[krewkid001]

Who would believe that such an inspiration to my life would leave this world so fast. Rest in peace Dan knowing you'll continue to be the same inspiration for many of us through the years.

Jeff

[richgurlie101]

Here we are in 2009 and still missing you.

[Psymaj]

This song has always, and will forever, be one of my very favorites ever. It tugs on my heart every single time.

[emadmadi]

he was afriend of mine

[captainsmith1]

R.I.P. Dan, I imagine you are now riding Barbaro or Eight Bells through the endless rolling meadows of Heaven where there is no more pain for any of you. You have finished your course here, and now there are nothing but blue skies, green fields, and cool waters for all of eternity. I'll see you there someday, and I hope I can take your hand and thank you for comforting me so many lonely times. I thank God for your time with us, and I thank him that some day I'll hear you sing forever.

[laflordelalto]

Gracias por tus palabras ten cariñosas. Te escribo desde Argentina. Yo no puedo creer que Dan haya muerto. Solo deseo que se encuentre en una eternidad luminosa. Parte de mi adolescencia se va con el.

[cvte2]

thanks for posting this cause I never got to see him in concert. This has got to be the most genuis of songs he crafted. He was so talented as a musician, singer and songwriter and he is missed by this huge fan!

But his legacy lives on with his music and for that, Dan, I am grateful.

. rest in peace

[LUCKYBROOKS]

Great Song !

Check-out Tx Lady tribute to 'Barbaro' ... Dan is now in the 'Winners Circle' having run the good race of Life ! Thanks for posting his work !

[LEAL2167]

I grew up in Western Kentucky and when I moved away this song always seemed to make be go back home. As a child in KY you grow up with the Run for the Roses as a major state event. The song is so sweet and beautiful. It is a wonderful song for all of us but for someone from KY is hold a very special meaning in our hearts. It is Home and my childhood to me. Dan was an extraordinary artist that will be missed greatly. Dan thank you for putting your heart into your song, You will be missed!

[tikkihut58]

...and that goes for us who grew up in central KY & the beautiful rolling hills. Also I echo the sentiments re: Dan.

[cheekydlor]

His voice had matured here and this song was even more beautiful than the original version. Just as he was. Sad to think that the cancer was already eating away at him at the time of this recording. What a waste of talent. So many of his songs had a spiritual side to them however and I believe that Dan has run for the roses and won. As long as we have his music we will have a part of him.

[ourbackforty]

Well Spoken!!!

[snootzie78]

R.I.P. Dan

May your weary soul rest in peace.

Keep running for the roses!!!

Miss you!

[greydragonlynx]

I have always loved this song. I grew up in Louisville, KY listening to it on my Mom's 45 LP Record. I wish he was still around but he died Dec. 16, 2007, of prostate cancer at 56.

[thatsjustgr8]

Thank you so much for posting this. Wish I'd seen more of his concerts. This song makes my heart swell, then the tears. Happy, sad and more appreciative of life.

I miss you Dan, RIP

[mytracks]

I used to sing this to my daughter... she's now 26... and I still believe that this song is about her... "it's breeding, and it's training, and it's something unknown - that drives you and carries you on"...

[headcaseworker]

I loved seeing this on Soundstage on PBS. Watched all three showings and would watch it every day if I could. How I miss him.

[MaybeCreativeEnough]

I both love and like this song! Fogelberg is indeed sorely missed.

[lapeocon]

my most favourite song to sing of all time..God, how i miss him already - he's truly the finest singer and songwriter ever..

[asquare176]

Sorry the date for the concert on PBS is Feb. 21-24. Just remember to check your local PBS schedule and have all recording equipment ready to go.

[JMEagle101]

I missed the show, is there any way to order the program? I searched PBS shop and could not find the dvd recording of Dan's on stage performance. please help.

[bonsaipal]

Like you JMEagle101, many of Dan's fans would love to own this video. For some reason, Soundstage has not released it for DVD sale at this time. Perhaps if they get enough requests from the fans they will reconsider. I'm hoping with you!

[asquare176]

It's good to see the rest of the band with Dan on this stage. They also backed him from Greeting from the West tour. It's to sad, that Mike Botts, Dan's drummer for many of his tours, died in Dec. 2005 from colon cancer.This concert is going to air this weekend on Soundstage/PBS. Check your local listings for airdates and times.

[billp1955]

A true classic FOREVER!!! Dan and the band did a great job on this live version, too!

[bonsaipal]

This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Thankyou for posting.
