Ik heb deze video gemaakt niet wetende dat Dan Fogelberg enkele dagen later kwam te overlijden. Ik vind het nog steeds zo'n ontzettend mooi nummer, het raakt me zelf ook nog iedere keer.

I can't begin to count the number of times I've played this song and this album over the years in my car driving in the mountains of California and now the Pacific Northwest. Whenever I listen to it, I feel like I am soaring through the air like a bird.

I think this beautiful song is about freedom and how Dan made a choice to follow his dream and passion for music instead of finishing college.

"Now, I'm learning to fly

And this freedom is like

Nothing that I've ever known..."

RIP Dan...

"I've seen the bottom and I've been on top, but mostly I lived in between....."

...and where do you go when you get to the end of your dream?"

Words to live by, Dan. RIP old friend.

peace

This was my theme song when I moved to Switzerland from Florida in 1979. I met Dan the night before his Lauderdale concert in 1984. On invite, I met him by the pool bar the next day with my girlfriend. I lent him my girlfriend for an erotic swim and he upgrade our seats that night to front row middle. He said that he did not play this song in concerts but he did that night and dedicated it to us. He had a peaceful soul and was genuinely interested in people he met. RIP music master.

...Dan now sings from this (netherlands) place that our spirits listens and longs for...

This song was the one that caught my attention with regard to Dan Fogelberg. I am ever so glad it did. It swept me up into the air and carried me to the Netherlands in some way. There was such a softness yet fullness to so much of his music. There was something he seemed to "get" that he put into words and notes and then shared with us. Heavenly wings? Hard to think of him being gone. You think the angels get tired of one of their own being away too long?

@leuv1963 :

Toen dit nummer in 1977 uitgebracht werd, dacht ik dat Dan Fogelberg een nummer over Nederland had gemaakt. Al spoedig bleek het echter om een streek in de Verenigde Staten te gaan...

Desondanks blijft het uiteraard een prachtig lied!

I would like to dedicate this song to my husbands cousin who took his own life a year ago. He was in so much pain when he got divorced and was crying out for help. RIP Dear Dave.

Dan Fogelberg was one of the first singers that I listened to who told a story with the lyrics of his songs... This is the first song of his I ever heard. He inspired me in so many ways. R.I.P. everytime we play one of your songs now, you still live in our hearts forever.

A UK Christmas 2009 when I first ever heard of " Dan Fogelberg" and his songs, and I am now 64 yrs of age. Oh what I have missed all these years. Now I have nearly all his Albums on CDs. He was truly a genius. R.I.P Dan Fogelberg and God Bless to all his love ones........
