I was at the University of Colorado and heard this song...never can forget it or hear it and not think of falling in love for the first time...the magical experience of being young, vibrant ....
One of the purest tenor voices I’ve ever heard. Couple that with thought-provoking music and you have a very rare combination. Sadly, he never got the level of recognition he deserved in his lifetime and his passing was largely unnoticed in the music world. At least TH-cam is exposing his music to a new generation who, perhaps, will eventually have the maturity to understand what Fogelberg created.
From my hometown. I actually wrote an article for a local press about Dan. The cool kids went to Bergan High School, where his father was the leader of the band. I went to Richwoods years later, and the tact that our two schools comingled meant something. The first time I ever heard real music was Netherlands blasting through a room with open windows. in downtown Peoria. I felt the breeze and I knew something had awakened in me!~
Love Dan Fogelberg. Voice. Words, talent with guitar and piano outstanding. Wish he were here. He's bout my age, would love to see his live concert. Maybe in heaven
blows my mind and in tears every time I hear this song.. The first song I ever heard of Dan's in 1975. There will never, ever be another artist like Dan.
What's even sadder, and pure genius, is his very last song "Birds" fades out with the same intro tone that this song fades in on. "Birds" is him saying goodbye to all of his fans, and this song says " morning is coming, you can't stop it, so enjoy it". When I played Birds and then immediately played To The Morning, I couldn't help but just cry and mourn his passing. RIP Dan.
Dan never needs a band to back him up.. He locks into the soul and just performs from the heart. I love this album, as much as it didn't get good reviews when it came out it is top of many Fogelberg's fan list. I listened to this song with my ear buds one late afternoon at Grand Teton's national park camping along don't remember what lake it was. Laying against a small hill in tall grass waving in the summer breeze the sun was setting across the full view of the peak's of the grand and the sisters. As beams of the sun spilled across the lake like fingers and onto the field. This song I couldn't have timed it more perfectly (By just chance no doubt) from beginning to end as the piano faded out the sun disappeared behind the mountain.. I simply cried with joy and goosebumps and remember thinking in my head to myself, "this was my personal epiphany of being where I was suppose to be at that time and place". That doesn't happen very often but when it does it brings a sense of peace that no matter what life brings you it will be OK. No artist has this touch of peoples souls anymore, it just sounds done before or plastic with no feeling music today. I am blessed to have grown up during this era of pureness in music. Rest in the peace you brought to all of us Dan, you deserve it.
My go-to music when I'm pondering life; Where I've been, what I've done, family, friends, years gone by. I'm so glad a dear friend turned me on to Dan's music back in the 70's. I've been a fan ever since and own all his albums. Dan's influences, musical parents, books read, time spent learning instruments and honing his craft makes for a great songwriter and singer. He didn't have to wear heavy makeup, costumes, pyrotechnics, wild attire or eat strange creatures on stage to draw a crowd. His talent alone drew them to drive for miles and await his turn on the stage. There won't be another like him for awhile. Love ya, bro
The story he told was that he was at his mother's house in Colorado in 1970 when he was on summer break as a 18 yr. old and wrote this on the piano there. Doesn't really matter, it's still a phenomenal song....
The story I heard was that he was on summer break from college at his mother's house in Colorado in 1970 when he was 18 years old. He said it was the first time he wrote a proper song on piano, one of his best for sure. Regardless which version is true it's still a phenomenal song....
The version I heard was that he was on summer break from college in 1970 at his mother's house in Colorado when he wrote this classic on her piano. He has said it's the first time he wrote a proper song on the piano and it's just simply heavenly. Whatever version is right it is a masterpiece....
Dan Fogelberg’s music is timeless. One of the best concerts in my life was seeing him in Houston in the summer of 1986 in the 15th row at The Summit with an amazing band and a chance to experience his guitar skills in person. The poignancy and emotion in some of the songs he’d written about his divorce were also moving. Dan Fogelberg left us way too soon, his music lives on.
His music is like no other. When he plays the piano, always know its Dan F. What a special style. And than there is his voice. I could listen to him for the rest of my life. His songs and especially this one will be played at my celebration of life.
Homefree.......the album that made me fall in love with this man and his music. Dans music has been my best friend throughout so many parts of my lifetime. Saw him 17 times live and it hurts so badly to know that I’ll never see him again. RIP Dan. You are never forgotten. The intro to this song brings back so many memories. So thankful that a friend in Music Lit brought this album in one day and said “take a listen.” It changed my life.
Perfect for my Sunday morning. Thank you...it actually is cloudy and warm here in the heartland this morning. Dan is the reason I play piano...and guitar. His inspiration has lasted over 40 years in my life, and will thank God forever for Dan’s life and all DF accomplished on Earth. ....that modulation to Dm at the chorus still breaks my heart...after all these years.
I noticed that, too. His live stuff was just as good as the studio version. A sign of true talent. He didn't need his songs to be " polished" by studio magic.
There are no words to describe Dan's talent....I miss him so much. I bought one of his Albums at Kmart, I begged my mom for Souveniers because he looked like a Native American to me. His music and legend will live on.
Thanks for sharing this vintage piece of video. Wow, what an artist Dan was. He sounds so great here. Certainly in his prime. I understand he wrote this when he was 18. Amazing. He is truly missed.
Yeah, Imagine ...he just sat down at His mothers house & calmly whipped this song out ...at the age of 18! In my opinion, perhaps his most beautiful, inspirational & soul touching songs of all time. Wow.. what a gifted man!....In Our Creators memory I'm sure. RIP..until you rise again.
I bought this album the summer before I started high school . My ‘cool’ older cousins introduced it to me. I remember putting it on my stereo when I got up that first day of high school morning - the dopamine thrill of such an important day in my life! I will never forget it.🤗 Thanks, Dan...wore out two albums until cassette tapes came out, LOL.😜
I first heard his song, “Souvenirs” over the radio in the Fall of ‘74. I become a lifelong fan. Saw him at his solo acoustic best in Louisville in the 80’s. His lyrics, musical notes, and voice continue to bless this ole’ 60-something gal to this day. It’s a rare combination when a lyricist can do it all so perfectly, that is compose, play, and sing. Dan does it best!
I wonder what it was like That Morning. That captured Dan's heart and soul. He was always so insightful about his subject matter. We all hope for mornings because they usually bring a certain peace and a end to a stressful night. A glorious time a stillness that sets the tone for the other waking hours. Dan TY
You read all the comments on this string and truly feel the impact of this man. Dan's music is somewhat like the Bible of Living & Life, having to read and re-read his lyrics many times over ones lifetime. With each reading you connect deeper and deeper to the man and realize his poetic talent was so deep and meaningful. To have him back if just for a day in our lives asking him questions on his inspirations for the songs, their meanings that came from his mind, imagination and experiences. I am proud to say I was blessed to have had this man's music raise me during my early years of life, knowing every word to every song until life catches up and you kinda just sort of move on to other things. One thing is for certain though, you can always "go back home" and Dan's music definitely brings me back home to my childhood and adolescence, a more innocent age so to speak. I predict if I have music playing on my last days of life on earth that I will be playing this mans music and gift to our world.
His live performance is breathetakingly beautiful this music man well there are just no words to describe what this song means to me with every note and every word it tells the story of my heat
I can usually play an artist after listening to them on the piano. I could NEVER duplicate Dan's compositions. I don't know why exactly. Probably because he is so dynamic in his piano pieces. To me, he will always be the elusive artist, that I only sit back and just enjoy his music.
Junior year of college, I had to pull an all nighter and then was listening to this song as the sun came up. Those moments of youth never come again but at least we had them once.
I listened to this album the first day of high school. I will never forget getting ready to this beautiful music - the dopamine rush on an important day for a high school freshman. Damn, I am grateful to have had the BEST music ever written for my generation. Even my son - a professional DJ, says so.😎✌🏽🇺🇸
OMG, I miss this man so much. What exactly did he say at the beginning, "Dedicated to all the people who still get up before noon"? So Dan. If that wasn't what he said, please clear me up. I've always loved this song because it's so soothing. In the morning we need things like this. I trust that he's making so many souls joyous with his music in heaven. We'll always love you, Dan!
miss him,miss this song more than ever...love is not in our oxygen anymore..those days are gone..men like him do not exist any longer.his frequency,his pureness will 4-ever live in my heart..recall was so sad,bc we had no cures for how he passed away.worse now..
O how I love his music. My first concert. Hershey Park opened for Eagles original line up. Superb musician and a ridiculous blues guitar player. I Frankie and the 👽 This first album is ☀☀☀☀☀⚡⚡
I’ve lost so many friends from back then Gave them all up for a fool So sorry all my friends!! Life is better now 22 yrs down the road single and straight
I got turned on to his "Homefree" album in 1978 and I would play this song over and over and over on the record player. Back when you had to actually manually pick up the arm.
J.D. Treadway:::: It was but this was his debut album, so it doesn't sound as planed as Nether Lands. That's what gives it that innocence and purity of not knowing. It didn't appeal to the critics at the time but to his fans it worked. Today it's one of the top three.
Netherlands is another one that I am especially fond of. But then you consider "Tucson Arizona ( Gazette), and it's Spanish guitar, or "Scarecrows Dream". It's like trying to pick a favorite out a whole bucket of gold! 😂
I know right??? I'm trying to replace albums that have gone missing. ( I think my kids took them 😂 because they love his music too) but it's getting hard to find.
Never will be over this crush I've had on Dan Fogelberg since my teen age years. I miss you ❤
❤❤
One of the greatest musicians of all time. A unique treasure.
I was at the University of Colorado and heard this song...never can forget it or hear it and not think of falling in love for the first time...the magical experience of being young, vibrant ....
A phenomenal musician and song writer! Believe it or not his guitar skills are out of this world.
Oh I Believe!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎵🎶

Dan Fogelberg
This song always puts me in a dreamy state. The first song on his very first album, and it's totally timeless.
My friend Patty Sneed (RIP - She passed away May 21,2022) introduced me to the music of Dan Fogelberg in 1975 when she put the album Captured Angel on the turntable for me to listen to at her mother's house in Gilbert, Arizona otherwise I would probably never have heard of Dan my favorite singer/songwriter. I wrote this poem for Dan in July 2000 and when I went to see him in concert at Humphrey's By The Bay that month I had it framed, and the stage manager put it in Dan's dressing room and I asked one of the band members after the concert if Dan took it with him when he left and he said yes.
A Poem For Dan Fogelberg
Once again I return to another world … A world only known to poets...
Inadequacy fills my soul… To eulogize the living…
The legacy we think we know… To paint on this page my feelings…
How can one, where does one begin… He commands the poets’ pen…
Cloaks our spirit with his verse… At what cost, at what cost…
His yearning for love forever fills the inkwell… But does the fire fuel the fire…
Does his mistress, the empty page, keep him from redemption…
If so, forget the sirens beckoning and take love…
His song, our song, the song of countless hearts since God’s first breath…
And we’ve been blessed by this, his curse and gift…
His songs make us cry, his tears write his song… For how long, for how long…
Would we trade his music, to set his heart forever free…
To love without restraint, or would one Judas him for a song…
Could I write what he feels when the door is left open…
As he awakens and turns to find only the empty page…
I will try to fill some space for him this time…
How many times must rose petals dry… Falling one by one to the floor…
How many times will hearts shatter… Yet return for the pain once more…
When will the love that is captured… Not change and need to be freed…
When will the need to feel love be fulfilled… Who will fulfill that need…
So now my painting ends… We’ve never met, but we are friends…
From myself and other fans… Thanks again… Thanks again…

That's the first album of his that I bought! The whole record is a gem. I have many of its songs on mp3 now.

We will never see another one like him. So much talent.
No, there will never be another such as Dan Fogleberg. I miss him so much. Rest in peace Dan, you are still cherished. Hopefully forever.

Yes, in heaven. ❤️
UMMMM ..... Who the hell can give this song/performance a thumbs down??? WTF. Dan Fogelberg was one of the GREATS!
blows my mind and in tears every time I hear this song.. The first song I ever heard of Dan's in 1975. There will never, ever be another artist like Dan.
I keep hoping.
I saw him in 1975 at the tower theater in Philly he was amazing. A real individual. The music lives on ✌
What's even sadder, and pure genius, is his very last song "Birds" fades out with the same intro tone that this song fades in on.

(very well said!) He's been my favorite singer/songwriter since I first heard this album in the mid-70's.
The Phoenix Tour ...Russ Kinkel and Ken Pasarelli
I’m going to the Grand Tetons in June and might do the same exact thing! ♥️♥️♥️
@@harrisfoster1066 Russ Kunkle was my neighbor. My girlfriend dated his brother...All I knew of Russ was that he was always on tour!
I miss him soooo much❤❤❤
One of my all time favorite DF songs.. the man was so underrated..
Mine too!
You can say that again! So talented.
Since you asked is my 2nd fav
This song blows me away everytime I listen to it. So damn beautiful. Maybe to love is not so strange.
I have been in Love with this man since I was a young girl. He is perfection to me.
What a marvellous music! Dan portrayed to the morning full of good vibes though at times it's unclear what lies ahead.

Dan wrote this in his home in Peoria on his family's piano....he was 16 years old ! Simply amazing. Thanks for the truly wonderful music. RIP brother.

My god what I would give if he were still here and I could go see him again. I saw him 5 times. Dan was a very special human being.
My Word He Was!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
My parents introduced this song to me when I was young in the 80s.
I only began to truly appreciate it in the past 10 years.
My mom loves folk music.
Too beautiful for words. Sometimes a soul just leaves so much magic. Love him forever.
Dan,thank you for leaving us your music when you passed..🍻
I had no idea there was video out there! What a blessing. I still miss his music so damn much
Me too!
A very good friend turned me onto Captured Angel and Homefree albums. My life was never the same. Genius creative artist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of his loveliest songs-rest In peace, Dan
Every bit as good as a studio cut . As close to.perfect as you can get

This song is so beautiful i cant explain how much it means to me ❤❤❤❤
Stunning

Thanks for sharing this beautiful clip. This is one of my favorite Dan's works. It brings tears to watch this clip. Really miss you, Dan.
It's still amazing. Thank You Dan.
Man, he was really good at live performance. I have loved his studio work for a long time.
He helped me thru college I the 70's. And then met him in Boulder. From one Ilinoisian to another. You were the best!
Missed. Tremendous talent.
A fan since 1976.....
His live performance is breathetakingly beautiful this music man well there are just no words to describe what this song means to me with every note and every word it tells the story of my heat
His songs sound better now than ever....
Kent Vaughan ...yes they are timeless! Such a beautiful song...come on morning!
Also because the noise they call music today is pure crap....

Comparing any singer/songwriter with Dan Fogelberg would be unfair t. He was in a class of his own. A league of one, a league of his own.

Gosh, this is part of music history, thank you posting, k
I am eternally in love with Dan's music.
There is s recording of Dan this song at a small venue when he attended college at the the University of Illinois in 1970.
Loved all his songs! Such a loss of talent! Could listen to him forever!!!
Left my jaw on the floor....Miss you SO DAN❤❤❤❤❤
Genius.
Dan was my all time favorite. Loved seeing him in concert.

Oh, he was age 56. RIP...
@@denisehoward177 I meant my husband, not Dan
How lovely. ❤️
His talent was so BIG! He piano lesson from age 6-10 and quit because he didn’t like them. Then he taught himself to play guitar. Just incredible!❤️💔
I miss him still
Beautiful
Intellectual musician
This is wonderful. Thanks for posting.
This song is included in the album released at the age of 21.
I love both this version and the studio arrangement…. But this is 100% Dan and is thus quite phenomenally unique
I’ve lost so many friends from back then
Gave them all up for a fool
So sorry all my friends!!
Life is better now 22 yrs down the road single and straight
Thank you for uploading this masterpiece. You have superb taste in music :)
And yet this astonishing artisan gets continually overlooked and ignored by The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ! Why for Gods sake ?
I said : Dan Fogelberg.♪... Dan.♫ . . . ► • a real artist • a true genius ! ► el Beat.♪
My favorite!!
I got turned on to his "Homefree" album in 1978 and I would play this song over and over and over on the record player. Back when you had to actually manually pick up the arm.
Welcome to the best generation of music, boo-boo. Get a pair of Bose turtle shell earphones to listen - transported to Heaven.😇
Special very special
What a beautiful soul!
This song was only surpassed perhaps by Nether Lands
J.D. Treadway:::: It was but this was his debut album, so it doesn't sound as planed as Nether Lands.
That's what gives it that innocence and purity of not knowing. It didn't appeal to the critics at the time but to his fans it worked. Today it's one of the top three.
My two personal favorites.
Netherlands is another one that I am especially fond of. But then you consider "Tucson Arizona ( Gazette), and it's Spanish guitar, or "Scarecrows Dream". It's like trying to pick a favorite out a whole bucket of gold! 😂
where has music gone?
I know right??? I'm trying to replace albums that have gone missing. ( I think my kids took them 😂 because they love his music too) but it's getting hard to find.
First thing in my mind at 5:15 am this morn as I awake....
