  • Reminds me of you ,--- cricket --- , thanks for the memories,hope your doing well :)

  • Snow turning to rain is SO depressing. I hate it.

  • Dan - you are sorely missed. You created some fantastic material for the ages. GREAT Song for sure!!

  • Wow, that was more than a "fan tribute"...you're an artist. Thanks for your work....

  • best part:" ...the snow turned to rain..." it really opens up the minds eye to imagine what he's going through. there is a lot of symbolism in this song, making it a good and interesting song to listen to.

  • This has always been one of my favorite Dan Fogelberg songs. TY for posting. Perfect for the new year. =)

  • Nice interpretation, beautiful song, the very definition of melancholy. Sad that he is gone, another auld lang syne...

  • this sends chills.no joke.

  • I love this song with the story. Beautiful!

  • Happy New Year Everyone!!!!

  • Wonderful tribute to this song and to Dan. Good job!!

  • chills!!!it's happened 2 us all!!!<3

  • This song always brings me to tears .... RIP Dan xoxo

  • This is such a beautiful and heart felt song. It reminds me of lost loves of the past. It takes me back to highschool days of loves that I thought would always be and as with most highschool sweethearts, it is over not long after it begins but then you find one that is special. One that touches your heart in such a way that even years down the road you never forget that one. He/she always remains in your thoughts and your heart. A very beautiful song here. :-) ♥

  • @thecarebearhideaway ....you couldn't have describe it any better...at least ur not the only one in the world that feels like that...

  • @sophia4041 Awe.. Thanks so much for your very kind comment here. I believe there is alot of people in this world who have felt like this . Love is a powerful thing! ♥

  • @ron71552  Very well said, I couldn't put it better myself. Very true, love doesn't mean anything against security (money).

  • My husband played this song over an over again....I came to find out he ran into his past love at the grocery store, an began an affair that still goes on today.....Told me he never stopped loving her,after 28 yrs being married to him , he finally told me he wasn't in love with me . I still feel the pain today....Long story short my husband became disabled an I am still here by his side, caring for the man I thought would always love me......I hate this song ! Yet I love him soooo much......

  • @lisasurfs575 Wow. You're a far better person than I am...I couldn't do it.

  • @lisasurfs575 Wow! I wish I had that kind of love in my heart... in my life.

  • @lisasurfs575 Go find your true love we only live once. Go find a match that will make you love this song!

  • @lisasurfs575 SO SAD TO HEAR.... YOUR A GOOD WIFE.... STRONG WOMAN!!!!

  • brilliant song

  • 106.7 LiteFM New York brought me here

  • *cheers* to lost love's, love found and everything in between.

    Merry Christmas

  • RIP Dan

  • 4bluetars Maybe you didn't run into her because she was looking in the frozen foods section for you in your neighborhood on the off chance of bumping into you.

  • Really like the video ... I listen to this song every Christmas ...Thanks for posting such a well made production that stays true to the lyrics ....

  • I always listen to this beautiful song at this time every year. Never fails to bring a tear to my eyes.

  • This is definitely the saddest Chrsitmas song ever made, and ye tit's so beautiful. Makes me think of my old lover, especially now..

  • LOL! Look at us "old guys" trippin' down memory lane!

    In December '72 I came home from overseas to marry my high school sweetheart. I had been gone too long. Stuff happened. And I watched her drive away. Years passed. Hurts healed. Whenever I would go down home and had to get groceries I would go to the store in her neighborhood on the off chance that I might bump into her "in the frozen foods" and tell her it was okay. Never happened. Just wasn't meant to be.

  • A reeeallly nicely done video! Thank you for sharing.

  • Dan Fogelberg....effortless genuis....RIP great man

  • MAN I LOVE THIS SONG,SO MANY MEMORIES

  • Wow! A song for the History of time! I met my lover in a similiar fashion...circa1972. Got my "Dear John" while overseas. I miss you Brenda Jean today as much or more than I did then. Amazing what a song will do to you! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

  • I think by our still listening to his great music shows he did and still does get recognition by so many. Unique things can only be had by ONE. I think we are that ONE.

  • Dan was a truly remarkable lyricist as evidenced by this song. He ranked up their with some of the best ever. He never really got the credit he was due. 

  • someone should make a "lifetime" or "we" or OWN movie out of this song ...

  • BEAUTIFUL, WELL WRITTEN AND SUNG BY DAN . SAD AND BEAUTIFUL AT THE SAME TIME. FORGOTTEN BY RADIO NOWADAYS ESPECIALLY IN UK WHERE HE DIDNT HAVE MUCH SUCCESS. PPL DOWNLOAD THIS GOLDEN MASTERPIECE THIS WEEK AND PUT THIS MAN BACK IN TOP TEN. DAN REMEMBERED FONDLY THIS TIME OYF YEAR. RIP

  • I walked away from the one true love of my life on New Year's Eve, 1972. She "married her an architect," (actually an engineer) and "he's kept her warm and safe and dry," but I think the rest of the verse is true as well. When I hear this song at the Holidays, I just crumble. The words and time of year bring such pain. Why so often these days does "warm and safe and dry" trump love. It's like a business decision now..security vs the heart. Love doesn't conquer all anymore..security does.

  • @ron71552 SAD BUT TRUE!!!!

  • I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SONG!!! Most people can relate to this song about lost loves and the paths we eventually choose. Dan Fogelberg was such an eliquent artist. I miss him. Rest In Peace Mr. Fogelberg.

  • I would like to meet my old lover to,but I live in Florida and she lives in New Jersey.After 30 years,I still love her

  • I remember hearing this for the first time in about December of 1980 while I was driving to school to SUNY Stony Brook, my first year of college! I knew I was hearing another song of unbelievable beauty, like 5 years earlier, when i first heard "To The Morning" in my room as a 13 year old young teenager! Sincerely, BobbyK

  • every time i cry when i hear this song

  • love this song.........brings tears to my eyes

  • This is a great song that becomes great potery in the last versas. When I first heard this song I too was thinking for a moment I was back at school. WOW! Talk about bittersweet moments in one's life. Probably one of the great misunderstandings in life, especially in the young, is to think our experiences are unique. Sometimes it helps to know thay are not and are shared by more people than we can imagine. They can get through it, we can all get through it.

  • Song reminds me of my first love. He knows who he is. I wish he was happier than he is. I wish I was happier than I am. :)

  • Reminds me of the time I ran in to my friend vinni... Same shit happened as in this song... I miss him so much r.i.p

  • me like song.

  • Oh yeah, lost loves, sigh. I always thought this song would of made a great movie.

  • I think about my current......about to be ex boyfriend...when I hear this song...

    

  • this song never gets old

  • This song really makes you think about lost loves, especially in December..

  • Whenever I hear this song...My whole world evaporates....I see my old girlfriend.....She looks at me with a tear in her eye....she shakes her head and walks off.....The Slow Snowy night crashes......I cant rember what happens afteer that...I just know I am crushed

  • @bullman816 Exactly my thoughts.

  • A classic love song, with the piano blending perfectly with the words and melody of the band. Just a great performance by a true trubador. Probably on my top 50 list of all time performances. It is too bad he didn't make a video, but this was great. Let us all drink a toast this new year to a great song, a great trubador and thank him for a wonderful trip down memory lane when we hear this song on new Year's Eve. Thanks Dan.

  • You did an awesome job with this video. I've always been bummed he never made a video for this song and yours was about a close I've imagined the scenes in my mind. Good job.

  • ONE OF MY FAVS.

  • One of my all time favs...brings back a flood of memories of my first love.

  • me and my ex girlfriend have this the only reason why im not with her for life is because of complication of family

  • @aaronpourazar beter as friends

  • One of my all time favourite songs.  Thanks for posting.

  • Crazy at it is, this song was supposedly based on a true meeting Fogelberg had with his high school sweetheart at a convenience store. The city of Peoria renamed the street Fogelberg Parkway and the store is still there, most people probably have no idea of its musical importance! RIP Dan!

  • I had this happen to me recently, sort of. My wife & I were at a concert & at the intermission I walked around to stretch my legs. I saw a woman who looked familiar. I walked over & said her name softly. She turned around & instantly recognized me & gave me a big hug. We talked for a bit. She was my first steady girlfriend, 40 years ago. When I went back to my seat, I looked at my wife and said "Life is good isn't it", then I said "I love you" as she rested her head on my shoulder...

  • love, love, love this song!!!!!!

  • Wow that was really great , I always loved this song, and i thought the video was so well done...Thank you!

  • I love it!!!!

  • ... we need to acknowledge more people, i miss a lot of friends...RIP

    thank you for the post

  • I left London 25 years ago and the one I loved with all my heart.

    I followed my career and we divorced I remember this song playing in Harrod's as we were shopping for her Mum.

    I recently discovered she passed away and the song this year will have a bittersweet memory like London does with me every Christmas.

    I will miss them for the rest of my life and I still cry when I hear this song no matter how the years have passed.

  • Without a doubt, my favorite song... memories of her.

  • I love this song...I always wished they got together in the end=(

  • I lived this song about 4 mths ago after 32 years! it was great and YES I THOUGHT of Dan and this song!

  • I lived THIS song about 3 days ago in Dallas Texas, saw my old high school love after 19yrs...good ol' Royse City High.

  • I have to stop whatever I'm doing when I hear this song. Sadly, I learned that I was losing my old flame at a New Year's Eve party that she invited me to. Before we got to the party, I saw her "mouth" the words, "There's nothing" to a girlfriend's comment about the two of us. Longest evening I ever spent on a date that I wished I never went to. But will I ever forget that girl? Never.

  • @NavyBob1965 So sorry to hear that bites trust me i know

  • it took me forever to find this song

  • @HorseObsessed97 I know right? it's WAY too hard to find

  • One of the most moving songs of all time....the ultimate in soft rock. Makes a person reflect on their past.

  • my favorite vesion of Auld Lang Syne to each and everyone happy holidays and ma gof bless

  • Hands down out of the greatest soft rock melodies. High school 1972...I still look for him in a crowd. I do.

  • The slight pause after "that old familiar pain" is such an empty man for everything to flow into. I can feel every old familiar pain I've ever felt in just that second or two. Amazing job.

  • This song kills me every year.......

  • @TheTdengler yeah they call it a holiday song not a christmas song

  • @TheTdengler Every year and even through the year I think of this and my High School Sweetheart. I got the old "Dear John" while I was overseas Military, and now 40 years down the road I still feel It. Mery Christmas Everyone!!!

  • @seve54123 Merry Christmas to you also!

  • @TheTdengler Me too. Because it's armed with razor sharp lyricism and fatal rhyme schemes that can't be defended against. It's almost like you're dying every time you listen to it.

  • i still miss you Bryon

  • Sooooooo ready for the holidays right now! I have searched for this song for a long time. Glad i finally found it!

  • beautiful song

  • the snow turned into rain:}

  • I've met an old crush in the grocery store before. It didn't play out quite the same as it does in the song, but it still felt like something out of a movie or something, haha. Of course this song started playing in my head as soon as I walked away.

  • Comment removed

  • i miss you so much Bryon

  • i want to say this video is so beautiful im crying now Dan Fogelberg & me share the same birthday except he was born exactly 30 years before me. This song came out the year I was born 1981,& the first time i ever heard it was on the courtney campbell bridge in tampa florida Christmas 2007(the year Dan Fogelberg went home to Heaven) in 2010 i got in touch with my most special old "friend" who ironically is a traveling music man too.im in love with him but he left again.this song is my life story

  • i had this song in my head but coudnt think of its name until i meet my gf then it came to mind and i just play this song over and over on my ipod

  • Wow, just got in touch with an old "friend" of mine.... and this song immediately came to mind. I'm filled with such mixed feelings right now, and this song captures them perfectly. Great job on the video.

  • @mattenos dude, thats just fucking rude. show some respect to the dead ya worthless bastard.

  • @thedragonsworld i wanna have sex with you

  • @mattenos if ya aint a lady, then it aint happening. period.

  • There are probably very few of us who haven't felt that old familiar pain at some time in our lives.

  • well done video !

  • My all time favorite non-traditional Christmas song. Who hasn't lived at least part of this song?  My favorite line - Just for a moment I was back at school.......

  • This and the smell of wood smoke on a winters evening brings me back.
