Song From Half Mountain ~ Dan Fogelberg

"Written on my first trip through Colorado. I was broke, alone, and full of dreams. Climbed the mountain. Found the bottle. Finished it when I got to California." (Dan Fogelberg)
* Dan Fogelberg ~ Song From Half Mountain from his album "Souvenirs" (Released 1974)

Song From Half Mountain ~ Dan Fogelberg (Lyrics)

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging
Now my soul is young
In a moment it will be aging
And high above the pines I wrote several lines
And left them in a bottle for you to find

Now the dream is rising
In a moment it will be past
This breath is my first
It will all too soon be my last
And on a windy coast I made several toasts
To you and me and the sea and no one heard

Now the wind is still
In a moment it will be raging
Now my soul is young
In a moment it will be aging
And high above the pines I wrote several lines
And left them in a bottle for you to find

Magical ! One of your best yet,JM. You've captured Dan's lyrics perfectly. A short composition by Dan which manages to say so much - and you've provided the images to match - brilliant. 100+ stars for this one!! Thank you.

@Sandandthefoam Thank you for your favorite, I can see Dan as a visionary from the lyrics he wrote. I started working on this video like 2 months ago, then I was busy and kind of left it there at half mountain, I am glad with the encouragement from Chuck, I finally finish it and upload to promote Dan's Memorial Garden dedication @ Riverfront Park, Peorial IL. August 28, 2010.

I started listening to DF when i was 17 his music really helped me get through some tough days and nights. i learned to play his music on the guitar, when i would sing this song people would just stop and listen, still all these years later it's so beautiful. It's sad how the generation of today will never know what really great music is.

I grew up in Colorado (Pikes Peak region)...

Dan is as much a part of my life there as the memories of growing up in "GODs LAND"

Beautiful Video as all your others...

Thx... *S*
