I'm 20 years old, so I was only six or seven when Dan Seals died, and thus, I didn't really get to hear him during his hayday. But, as I've gotten older, and started to become an enthusiast of old country music, I have grown to be a huge fan of Dan Seals. Great voice, and songs that really get in your feelings. One of the best to do it.....
My mind wonders back into the 80s when I heard this on the radio and I was in tears, I looked over at my dad, hoping he hadn't noticed me crying, but he had big huge tears in his eyes too. ❤ I miss my sweet Dad. Died same year as Dan. He sure was a favorite at our house.
This is the best it gets live and with acoustic only, you can't hide anything like this , you're either good or terrible , maybe new artist should pay attention to what this man could do.... , Dan Seals was a fantastic singer and guitar player and I will miss him and hope that country music remembers him and gives him the credit he so rightly deserves , RIP Dan because I will never forget your contribution to music and country music as a whole...thank you sir... it was a pleasure to hear you on the radio while you were with us and it reminds me of how great you were every time I hear you on the radio after you're passing, bless you and your family
One of my favorite songs. Did not realize that he had passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting Dan in 1988. He was in town doing a benefit concert for Special Olympics. I was part of the stage crew and I talked to him a couple times that day. He was one of the nicest guys I ever met. Rest In Peace, Dan.
1) This Song Reminds Me Of Raising My Daughter Alone Without Her Mom. But, You Know, Looking Back, I Wouldn't Trade The Great Memories We Have Together For The World. 2) Dan's Voice Gives Me Chill Down My Spine.
The name Dan Seals says it all! An amazing man, with an amazing talent. One of my all-time favorite songs, by one of my all-time favorite artists. RIP Dan!
That is so true. I still like country music, but my favorites will always be from the 80’s and early 90’s. Dan Seals is one of my favorites. What a wonderful pure voice he had. This song always makes me tear up😢
I absolutely love this song, and I am so sad that he passed away. Somebody mentioned on another video that they visited his final resting place, and it had no flowers just weeds covering it, broke my heart. But they said they clean it up and left some pretty flowers
Shannon, I was one of those Dads raising a daughter like that but in the early 2000's. Every time I hear this beautiful song by this beautiful man I think of what that stupid woman left behind and gave up to go out to "find her dream". It's 2022 now and she still hasn't found what she was looking for. She already had it all and left it behind. We're better off without her.
I just cannot believe he died! He is one of my favorite musicians. When he was doing the England Dan he was awesome and even switching to country it was just so natural for him. Amazing singer/songwriter/guitarist. The world says Goodbye to yet another legendary artist.
RIP Dan. You were a great talent. There is nothing I love to do more than sing and play my old Hummingbird. Maybe, when it's my time, I can play and sing with you, Dan Fogelburg, Kevin Sharp and many other people that are now with God. Thank you for the many years of great music.
I've always been so impressed how he plays a right-handed 12-string, left-handed and upside down with the strings in their original fretting. (Not reversed) Great cross-picking on his modified chords. Always loved this song and Dan's vocals! 😊
Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 it doesn’t matter where you are in the world, this song can resonate to so many single parents that have had to raise their children. I was one of them. His words are amazing, his voice is so smooth. RIP Dan and how awesome that all these years after you left this world we are still talking about you and you’re changing lives ❤️ with your music.
Dan seals with mark and Jerry. Heavenly combo. It wish thatjerry had played that dobro solo as in the original version of this song. It was so melancholy and beautiful.
I had never been a fan of country music , but since I've gotten hooked on TH-cam I've discovered many county music artists ( from back in the day when country was artful and touching ) such as Steve Goodman , Vince Gill , Arlo Guthrie , Bonnie Raitt , JOHN PRINE , Dan Seals of course , Willie Nelson , Dan Whitley , Kris Kristofferson , Rita Coolidge , Dolly Parton , Lyle Lovett , Conway Twitty , Allan Jackson , Kate Wolf , Jamey Johnson, Glenn Campbell and a host of others I seem to be blocking on right now . Their songs were filled with beautiful and heart-rending stories , had melodies that were really fine and were almost always wonderfully performed and were always respectful and thoughtful that touched deep emotions inside us . What a far cry from the sorry state of country music today - it's more like pop-fluff . Let's hear more of the delightful songs and artists from "yesteryear" which always enriched the listener and made us hunger for more . Go Country ! George Lewis, Sr.
I was trying to learn this song years ago. I was playing it one night when my 2 year old Vizsla ran in from another room and put her head on my shoulder until I finished. I lost her in February. I don't think I'll ever be able to do this song again.
It speaks of love , loss and the deep love of not letting a old friend go just be cause he old and past his time for he has found pure gold in his life with little cassie & old red
Thank you very much sir dan we have all your songs on sd card ,and it plays everyday, when their songs played feels like my burden in my heart lightens. Im a big fan of country songs and proud of it...your songs instill in our hearts.
A friend of mine reminded me today that Dan Seals passed away in 2009. This is one of the best songs he recorded. (I use to play it regularly where I performed) I particularly relate to this being a single dad and a traveling musician. I gave up the quest for "all that glitters" for the pursuit of being a real, stay at home dad when he was born in 2000. Now, I mostly travel the 2 lanes in West Virginia. I have since found the 'real gold,' thanks to my boy.
I became a huge fan after he went solo in the 80's...fell in love with this sweet soul the day I heard "You Still Move me"....I play so many songs from TH-cam nearly every night & let them take me back to the bitter sweet times past....My friends ask why am I in love with so many dead men LOL...I tell them I fell long before they left here....Patrick Swayze, Bobby Hatfield of The Righteous Brothers, Dan Seals & my first love, Danny T....I hope I get to see them again one day.....xoxoxoxo
I have tried that with mine and it is almost impossible ?? I guess if that is the way you learned you would be fine with it. I knew a girl that sang gospel back in'75 that played her guitar the same way. I think maybe Elizabeth Cotten did too?
My god, WHY is it that I "discover" a scrumptious song and singer like this man...and it turns out he is DEAD?!? This song, and the man. are just marvelous and haunting. Thank you so much for the posting, it has gone straight into my favorites.
Absolutely a great song. I'm recent fan coming to the light of such great artists as him! A friend of mine introduced me to these great music!! I was 6yrs old in 91! Haha.. Great stuff!
Saw Luke Bryan tonight at the SA Rodeo....he played this song playing the piano....it was awesome. So good that I had to come home and see Dan Seals sing it too...All-Around Greatness
On this day in 1987 {February 5th} Dan Seals' album "Won't Be Blue Anymore" was certified Gold The album peaked at #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and three tracks from the album reached #1 on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart The #1 singles were; "Meet Me In Montana {for 1 week, featuring Marie Osmond}, "Bop" {for 1 week}, and "Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold)" {for 1 week} Dan Seals passed away on March 25th, 2009 at the age of 61 R.I.P. Mr. Seals...
De la très bonne musique,mon papa aimait l'écouter lorsque nous etions tout petits et l'écoute toujours. Il reste et restera toujours le meilleur....RIP
One of the very best live performances of all time IMO. The feel… the delivery… everything 💯
One the absolute most beautiful and moving songs ever written! 💙
I'm 20 years old, so I was only six or seven when Dan Seals died, and thus, I didn't really get to hear him during his hayday. But, as I've gotten older, and started to become an enthusiast of old country music, I have grown to be a huge fan of Dan Seals. Great voice, and songs that really get in your feelings. One of the best to do it.....
My Mom left me at 1 and this is my song to my Daddy. Not many men raised daughters by themselves in the 70's. I love this song.
God Bless you and your Daddy!
Shannon Brown :'-(
God bless you and your Daddy!!! I have a daughter and she's my girl! I know how your Daddy felt!
Bless you n your daddy...and your momma :(
Teared up reading your comment. I hope life turned out...
My mind wonders back into the 80s when I heard this on the radio and I was in tears, I looked over at my dad, hoping he hadn't noticed me crying, but he had big huge tears in his eyes too. ❤ I miss my sweet Dad. Died same year as Dan. He sure was a favorite at our house.
Is that a coincidence or what? Yur Dad is in heaven right now singing along with Dan! Smile for the two of them..
@@dianereinhart9712 thank you for saying that. That's a beautiful thought. ❤
I lost my wonderful dad in 2009 also ! I miss him each and every day !
That’s a beautiful memory never let that memory go 👍❤️
There should be a movie made about this song.
Well Done Dad.
It takes a great man to raise a child on his own. Well done .
Blessings
Cried like a baby through this masterpiece of a song. Rest in eternal peace Dan !
Gone but not forgotten
Damn right
This is 1 of the few that gets me
This is the best it gets live and with acoustic only, you can't hide anything like this , you're either good or terrible , maybe new artist should pay attention to what this man could do.... , Dan Seals was a fantastic singer and guitar player and I will miss him and hope that country music remembers him and gives him the credit he so rightly deserves , RIP Dan because I will never forget your contribution to music and country music as a whole...thank you sir... it was a pleasure to hear you on the radio while you were with us and it reminds me of how great you were every time I hear you on the radio after you're passing, bless you and your family

My favorite too Dan. Played it many times on juke boxes. RIP.
Wow! With lap steel wizard, Jerry Douglas, and National Flatpicking and Fiddle Champion, Mark O'Connor!
Beautiful!
This is one of my all-time favourites. RIP Mr. Seals. Heaven surely sounds a little sweeter now.
Wow..this is perfection! So moving. In A Quiet Room is one of my favorite records ever. R.I.P. Mr. Seals
1) This Song Reminds Me Of Raising My Daughter Alone Without Her Mom. But, You Know, Looking Back, I Wouldn't Trade The Great Memories We Have Together For The World.
2) Dan's Voice Gives Me Chill Down My Spine.
A Life-story song sung by Dan Seals that reminds us All that glitters in life is not always Gold! Thanks Dan and RIP!
I listened to it endlessly while I worked in the fields as a teen+ in our tractors in the late 80's
The name Dan Seals says it all! An amazing man, with an amazing talent. One of my all-time favorite songs, by one of my all-time favorite artists. RIP Dan!
Back when country music could legitimately make you stop and cry....
I so agree
Yep
New country still makes me cry, just for a different reason 🤣
That is so true. I still like country music, but my favorites will always be from the 80’s and early 90’s. Dan Seals is one of my favorites. What a wonderful pure voice he had. This song always makes me tear up😢
yes back then it could make you cry but now I cry for a different reason...
I absolutely love this song, and I am so sad that he passed away. Somebody mentioned on another video that they visited his final resting place, and it had no flowers just weeds covering it, broke my heart. But they said they clean it up and left some pretty flowers

ONE OF THE BEST UNDERRATED SINGERS OF ALL TIME! RIP MR DAN YOU WAS THE BEST!💜🙏
It proves the old saying, "Anyone can be a mother or father but it takes a special person to be a Mommy or Daddy"...
This song makes me feel the sadness, but also comforts me in knowing that I'm not the only one who's experienced this before.
RIP Dan. You were a great talent. There is nothing I love to do more than sing and play my old Hummingbird. Maybe, when it's my time, I can play and sing with you, Dan Fogelburg, Kevin Sharp and many other people that are now with God. Thank you for the many years of great music.
Saw him live in Florence, AL when I was around 20 yrs old. What I would give to be able to see him again.
Beautiful piece of music. Thanks Dan and Rest in Peace.
He dies? I am sorry to hear this, really.
Dan was at the top of his game on this performance.
Dan Seals have the loveliest voice ❤❤❤
I was driving home from work when i heard this song i love it im a 58 year old factory worker and i had tears on my eyes i gess big boys cry to😢
rest in peace Dan.i tear up every time I hear this song.
The great Dan Seals---RIP DAN
I've always been so impressed how he plays a right-handed 12-string, left-handed and upside down with the strings in their original fretting. (Not reversed) Great cross-picking on his modified chords. Always loved this song and Dan's vocals! 😊
Oh man, I get chills every time I hear this song. Unbelievable. In the top 3 as far as my favorite songs go.
OMG heard this song in 1991 when I was 20 and still studying in a city where country songs are their favorites. I love this guy's voice.

I don't know why, but this song is so emotional for me.
These great songs stay with you for life
I listen to this everyday and it brings me so much sadness in a good way. I could never explain it. Amazing !!
Dan seals with mark and Jerry. Heavenly combo. It wish thatjerry had played that dobro solo as in the original version of this song. It was so melancholy and beautiful.
What a song, Jesus, what a song. From that great era of the early nineties.
It was the late eighties and went to number 1 on the charts.
I had never been a fan of country music , but since I've gotten hooked on TH-cam I've discovered many county music artists ( from back in the day when country was artful and touching ) such as Steve Goodman , Vince Gill , Arlo Guthrie , Bonnie Raitt , JOHN PRINE , Dan Seals of course ,

When I heard Dan passed yesterday, I couldn't go to youtube and watch his stuff. But today I can, it feels good. This is a gem.

Sadness, tears, happiness and peace, i feel all at the same time when i listen to this song.
He was wonderful...the real deal
Thank you very much sir dan we have all your songs on sd card ,and it plays everyday, when their songs played feels like my burden in my heart lightens. Im a big fan of country songs and proud of it...your songs instill in our hearts.
I can remember when I was a girl and this song came out. It use to make me cry every time I heard it. It still does. Wonderful writing.
A friend of mine reminded me today that Dan Seals passed away in 2009. This is one of the best songs he recorded.

Miss you Dan ..
Wow what an amazing singer 😊
Love Dan Seals what a beautiful voice ,RIP DAN
You gotta love a guy who plays guitar left handed with his strings strung right handed, makes you look real hard for the first few times
I have tried that with mine and it is almost impossible ?? I guess if that is the way you learned you would be fine with it. I knew a girl that sang gospel back in'75 that played her guitar the same way. I think maybe Elizabeth Cotten did too?
never get tired of hearing this great song by Dan RIP MATE
WOW.......this is awesome!
country song make me cry all time...
hes one of the best male country singers. We need more talent like this today.
