You know what? Dan did leave many footprints on the hearts and souls of millions and the blessing of his illness is that he became aware of how much he meant to so many. He was pure magic and was taken too soon. I am certain he is at a loss as to how to comfort those who mourn him. He cared so much about the earth and gave his all to us. His enchanting music lifted us up so much that if we listen intently to his voice and his music, we can reach out to him in heaven.

I left a trail of footprints deep in your snow,I swore one day I would retrace them, but when I turned around..

why aren't lyrics written like this any longer?

@baretree298 Sorry, can't agree. Live versions aren't meant to reproduce the studio version, only represent them. I think this one does a wonderful job of communicating the ineffable quality of the emotion in the song, albeit in a less polished ambiance than the studio recording.

Back when people (musicians and fans alike) cared about EXCELLENCE in music, not some circus and bread entertainment charade. RIP Dan, we miss you.

I remember seeing him in DC back in the 80's and he told the crowd he thought he would never play this song again. I guess it's just too painfull to perform, let alone to listen to. Man, the pain of lost love so deep, it crushes the blood in your heart.

Actually Guys, Dan was astute at the business end of music also. To say this is a difinitive or really good version of this song indicates that your ears may be swayed to easily by your heart. This take is a dragging, off key, dirge. You know it when you listen to the original. It is every performers fear, fucking up a great song when you don't feel well, "In the groove", or "feel the spook" as Neil Young describes it.

@gregmpalumbo Because it's all about the all mighty dollar anymore Greg. Dan wrote from the depths of his soul, he wasn't in it for the money. He was told his double album The Innocent Age was a bad idea, but it was something he needed to do. It went double platinum. I'll always believe Dan's success had to do with not only his talent, but his soul was pure and he knew what was important. If you listen to his words you'll know his faith was very strong.
