Same Old Lang Syne ..by Dan Fogelberg is incredible !!!!
And it’s kind of a Christmas song! Nows the perfect time to react to this!
Seconded! It’s absolutely my favorite song of all time. A must must listen!!!!
Its a true story too. He sid change a couple details to protect her identity. After he died she came forward.
Yes!!
Yes yes yes!!
Guys,
Dan Fogelberg wrote leader of the band in honor and respect for his father who was hospitalized at the time. He finally understood his musical heritage with his father's story. His father did get to hear the song before passing away.😊
Dan Fogelberg was a gift and may he always Rest In Peace.
It was a punch in the gut when i heard he had died. Hurt like John Lennon.
Amen!🥰💐 It's funny how I just mentioned him in a comment on the Ambrosia reaction vid, so I am elated that Jay and Amber finally got around to discovering Dan's music. What a treasure he was/is. I hope u guys continue down this amazing rabbit hole, enjoy! 🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽
Now that you know Dan Fogelberg you have to do Same Auld Lang Syne for New Years Eve!!! It's special too.
@@vincentschmitt7597 Definitely a hit to the gut. He died of prostate cancer. He was touring and wasn't attentive to his medical needs. Unfortunately he found out too late. He could have been saved. To all men, get tested.
@@seanswinton6242 As a prostate cancer survivor I second this suggestion
I absolutely love Dan Fogelberg. My personal favorite of his is "Longer". But another incredible song of his is "Same Old Lang Syne
Song by Dan Fogelberg", plus many more. RIP Dan, you had an incredible impact on many of us!
Omg you reminded me... LONGER!!
This is one of Fogelberg's most personal songs. It's a tribute to his father, Lawrence Fogelberg, who was a band director.
The senior Fogelberg began his musical journey directing high school bands in his home state of Illinois, first in Peoria and then at Pekin. He married Margaret Irvine, a talented singer who directed her sorority chorus, in 1946, and the couple had three children. Dan was the youngest, born in 1951. By this time, his dad was the band director at Bradley University in Peoria, where the family lived. The band would play concerts and perform at basketball and football games; Dan often told a story about his father letting him "conduct" the band when he was four years old, standing in front of his father with a baton while his dad did the job behind him. "It was an amazing feeling," Dan recounted. "It felt both very magical and powerful. And I was fearless."
Fogelberg recorded this for his 1979 album Phoenix, but felt it was too sentimental for the album and didn't release it until 1981 on The Innocent Age. His father died the following year.
When Fogelberg wrote this song, he didn't hear it as a hit, but the song expressed something that many children have trouble articulating: a love for their father. The intimacy of the song actually broadened its appeal, and it became one of his most enduring songs and one that fans would often mention to him as one they connected with.
The line, "Thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go," is a reference to Fogelberg dropping out of college. He attended the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, but decided to leave in the middle of a semester to pursue music - not what most parents want to hear. Fogelberg's father was disappointed, but supported his son's decision, telling Dan to try it for a year. The music thing worked out well: Dan drove to Los Angeles, got a record deal, and became one of the top-selling solo artists of the '70s.
The song concludes with part of a performance by the UCLA Band of the John Philip Sousa march "The Washington Post" arranged by Fogelberg's father.

Thank you for that information. I knew it was about his father, but not the rest.
Thanks for the info. He was a favorite, along with James Taylor, and CSNY. I appreciate this song much more today than I did back in the 70's
Thanks I learned more! Love this song!❤❤❤❤❤
I wonder if his father lived to hear this song?
I was born and raised in Pekin and his father was the band leader when I was at P C H S.
Anytime I think of this song I cry. I grew up in a musical family. My dad sang and played the guitar. He taught me to sing this song when I was just a little girl. Every time he pulled out his guitar, I would beg him to play it while I sang. It became our song. One day several years after he died (he died young) I was coming home from work late at night. I had a sudden longing for my dad and I started weeping as I drove. This song came on the radio. I had not sung it or even thought about it in years - and there it was randomly on the radio. I sang along and still remembered every word. It was a hug from my dad on the other side.
Dan was a great story teller through all of his songs. "Same Auld Lang Syne" really happened and is always played at Christmas time. One of his first hits "Run for the Roses" he was commissioned by the Kentucky Derby to write a song for the upcoming Derby that year. While he lived in south western Colorado in the San Juan mountain's he owned horses. I had the pleasure to see him twice at Red Rocks. RIP Dan you are truly missed.
Run For The Roses has always made me cry in a good way! What a beautiful song!
My two most favorite songs of his. Beautiful!
Commissioned by ABC Sports to write it, not the Derby. Also, Same Old Lang Syne is the title.
Run For The Roses was always one of my favorite songs.
Auld Lang syne always be one of my favs. His voice could never be matched.
One of the greatest and most underrated singer-songwriters, in my opinion. Dan was absolutely amazing live too. If you're gathering suggestions for songs to react to for the holidays, I highly recommend "Same Old Lang Syne" based on a real experience that Dan had one holiday season.
This song is so beautiful and so perfectly produced. Even the horns don’t overwhelm, they are subdued to fit the rest of the song. The lyrics are so powerful and stand out because of the simplicity of the music.
Overwhelming. If only all fathers could be worthy of such a loving tribute and all children capable of expressing it. It's a noble yet likely impossible goal to strive for.
SOOOOOOO glad that you finally got to this national treasure of an artist. ❤
RIP, Dan ❤🙏😪💔💔💔
I saw in an interview that Dan’s father got to see him perform this song before his father passed away
I second Mychal's suggestion of Same Old Lang Syne. Perfect for this time of year, and a true story. Good guitar and lyrics describes every Fogelberg song. And his father did get to hear this become very popular before he passed.
Love Him So Much!! ❤ (R.I.P. Dan 💔💔)
Dan and Richard Marx are two of my favorites. I just buried my father on Wednesday so this song is dear to my heart. Dan has a number of songs to go thru. He will keep you busy!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@italoblu - Thank you. It’s been a tough week.
Dan Fogelberg is almost forgotten but not to those who carry his gift in our hearts. I was fortunate to see Dan live at Madison Square Garden....he was an incredibly gifted performer. Please dive deeper into his catalogue of music....it will bring you joy!
Jay & Amber, only song I remember from him was "The Power of Gold" (with Tim Weisberg). Very good song!
Dan Fogelberg had one of the purest, most sincere voices of all time, and he was a masterful story teller through his thought-provoking lyrics, as captured in this loving and deeply emotional tribute to his father.
Probably one of my all-time favorite love ballads is "Longer", which perfectly embodies the passion of true and undying devotion. Also check out the haunting "Same Old Lang Syne", which poignantly speculates on a nostalgic, "what if" relationship from the past.
Sadly, Dan lost his battle with cancer and was taken far too soon, but the genius and beauty of his music live on.
Thank you so much for listening to this song. I have been requesting Dan Fogelberg for some time now and I am glad you started with "Leader Of The Band", which is my favorite song from him. He is an extremely talented singer and he wrote all of his own songs. He really became popular in the late seventies into the early 80's. Sadly, we lost him in 2007 at an early age but his music will live on forever. One song that never gets mentioned but is one of his best songs is "Missing You". It was released in late 1982.
Thank you playing that song.I just lost my father two weeks ago and playing that song brings back some happy memories 🙁🙁🙁
He's a storyteller who puts it to music. He's one of my favorites.
Same Old Lang Syne by Fogleberg is a MUST this holiday season!
Such a gorgeous and tender song!! Dan Fogelberg said that if he could have only been given one song to write in his life, “Leader of the Band” would have been his choice. He said this song “wrote itself” quickly and he didn’t even intend for it to be recorded, let alone be released as a single. I cannot listen to this song without my eyes puddling up on the last verse. I wish we had thought to play this at our father’s funeral ten years ago - he was a pianist and even led a band for several years.
A song that always make me feel good all over....I used to play this for my Dad whenever we would go out for a ride just hanging out...Miss you Dad...I played it for Dad when he was very sick and the tears were flowing.
Dan Fogelberg was from Peoria IL, this song "Leader Of The Band" was a tribute to his father who was a band director at a high school in Pekin IL and then at Bradley University in Peoria IL.
Another great singer/song writer/musician taken before his time. He was 56 when he succumbed to cancer. I absolutely love his rendition of "Rhythm of the Rain." It's one of those songs that when it's over, you immediately hit the re-play so you can hear it again. Once is never enough.
"Run for the Roses" is another great song. It talks about the horses bred to run in the Kentucky Derby. I get choked up over my own horses whenever I hear it. Such a beautiful song. If you close your eyes when you listen, you can see everything he's talking about. The babies being born to them laying in a field enjoying the sun, having no clue what lies ahead. The sleek, muscular bodies heading down the back stretch to finish, going with everything they can give...such amazing animals horses are.
"There's A Place In The World For A Gambler" and "Lonely in Love" are two more great songs. To me, they are both one of those songs where after you're done listening to it, you just sit there and say, "Wow!"
If you like the blues, then you need to listen to this one, "Road Beneath My Wheels."
His father was a high school band director and his mother was a classically trained pianist. Check out the version of leader of the band from Greetings from the west and what Dan says in the beginning. Sadly Dec. 16 will be the fifteenth anniversary of Dan's passing. May he rest in piece.
This was one of my dad's favorite artists. The night my dad passed away I played this song. This song reminds me of my dad every time I hear it.
It’s the perfect time of year to listen to Same Auld Lang Syne. It’s another personal song from a great storyteller. Always makes me tear up.
Wow, I love this song. The tribute to his father is extraordinary. His father was a teacher and band leader. Somehow Dan (RIP) felt like family. The simplicity of the instrumentation in "Leader of the Band" is perfect for the emotion, and when the brass quintet comes in for a short phrase I feel it all the way to my toes. I was turned on to Dan by a friend way back in 1974 when "Souvenirs" came out. I played "Part of the Plan" over and over. It would be a great one for you to react to. Also, "Same Old Lang Syne" from the album "The Innocent Age" (same album as "Leader of the Band") is one of those songs I heard first while driving, and had to sit in a parking lot until it finished before I could get out of the car.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. You should also listen to his song "Longer." Play it, really listen to it, and then dance to it. You'll fall in love all over again.
Best line of this "velvet thunder of his hands." Beautiful.
I don’t have words to express how much this man’s music means to me. I was blessed to have seen him many times live.
This is such a beautiful song and has always stood out by itself. Another Auld Lang Syne is another amazing ballad of his. Love you guys {{{hugs}}}
Run For The Roses is another classic.
What a treat to hear this song. I also miss my dad as others have said. I haven’t heard this in years but all of the sudden I still remembered all the words to sing along. Thank you once again for making me smile. ☺️
I have always loved Info Dan Fogelberg. One of his lesser-known songs was “windows and walls“ and it always made me pick up the phone and call my grandmother. It breaks my heart every time I hear it as I think of all those older people sitting alone at home staring at the windows and walls.
Such a beautiful ode to his father…. Makes me miss mine as I sit here in a pool of my tears.
The magic of Dan Fogelberg the way his music touched hearts this man, songs that draw so much emotion has an effect on a person his way of touching people with his music his gifts a true master of his craft.
The Dan Fogelberg song that always hits me in the feels is "Same Old Lang Syne". It's a story that I can easily put myself in and is just a beautiful song.
loved him, his voice was just as great in concert back in the 80s.
I have loved this song from childhood. My mom was a super fan and has all his records
An old acoustic classic with killer vocals and harmonies.
Everytime I listen to this great song. I pluck something new from it. This time, I think that the horns were a tribute to his father, because it matches the title, "leader of the band". Maybe a marching band?
This is another reason that I like these reactions. Because, thier comment's shine a new perspective.
Also when it was time for the son to go leave, his father understood, and supported his decision. No guilt trips or head games.
I'm so glad you found Dan Fogelberg... he's a gem among gems. ❤🎶❤
I lost my dad last month at 76, and my mom to cancer in 2012 at 59. I have them to thank for much of my wide range in musical taste; we almost always had music playing somewhere in the house and ALWAYS in the car. I've been working my way through your videos of older tunes and am loving watching you discover music I've loved my whole life. This song is so beautiful, but hits different now that both of my parents are gone.
You've already covered most of my mom's favorites, but my dad loved the instrumentals from the 50s and 60s: Popcorn by Hot Butter, Beep Beep by the Playmates, Tequila by the Champs, Raunchy by Bill Justus, Rebel Rouser by Duane Eddy, Teen Beat by Sandy Nelson, Baby Elephant Walk by Lawrence Welk... so many great tunes :)
FINALLY!!! I've been requesting, no...BEGGING you for the last 5 months to react to Dan! Heck, I've left comments for you almost every week to play this. A few months ago I even sent you a detailed 3-point email of which 3 songs to listen to! THANK YOU! You should next react to 'Same Old Lang Syne'. He wrote this about a chance meeting with his old High School Love on Christmas Eve back in '75. Such a wonderfully talented man like Jim Croce, who was also taken from us too early.
I saw him live in concert and he was simply magnificent.
My millennial children got to listen to Dan on most long car rides. He has been my favorite artist since the 70's. My favorite song by him is The Reach.
I'm so glad you've finally discovered Dan Fogelberg! Go to "Longer", a beautiful and poetic love song. "Same auld lang syne" tells an amazing true story of when he went out on Christmas Eve to get whipped cream for Irish coffee (in Peoria visiting his family) and ran into an old girlfriend.
My favorite Dan Fogelberg song is Same Old Lang Syne. it's the story of running into an ex-lover in a grocery store on Christmas Eve, many years down the road.
Gotta do "Same Old Lang Syne" for your Christmas Eve reactions, since the story within the song
takes place on that day.
He is my favourite singer maybe of all time. I love his voice, it's soothing and feel warm inside.
PLEASE when you start your holiday music reactions try Dan Fogelberg Same Old Lang Syne. Another great storyteller song
Lost my Dad when I was 18. You know at 18 I surely never thought he wouldn’t be there. Today I can say he was funny, talented and could fix anything. You know I never said those things to him. Wish I had. I like to think he knows it now, 50 years later.
The horns in the interludes were played by members of the UCLA Marching Band and were directed by Dan Fogelberg's father. What a tribute to his dad and his dad got to be a part of it.
In studio, Dan played most of the instruments and laid his own harmonies down over his vocals
Most of the harmony is also Dan he would record multiple tracks and do his own harmony. An amazing multi instrumental singer song writer with an amazing voice.
Dan's best song. My dad was a drummer in a country band in the 70s&80s while I was growing up and when I hear music from that era. I remember helping set up his drums and listening to him playing. So many memories.
I love this song. I was visiting my son in Guam and picked it for karaoke. one of the bartenders asked if he could sing it with me as it was special to him and his father. Of course I said yes. Turned out he owned a sunset cruise ship and he had us as his guests on the ship later that week. I think of that time with my son when I hear this song.
"Longer" is another beautiful song of his.
Dan’s music and lyrics were always in sync with the Universe! Still are!❤️
I have always loved this song so much. It makes me cry every single time. I think about my own father. ❤
Thank you Dan, gone fifteen years already, Heaven's gain & the World's loss, sing in peace.
DF was the greatest influence on my singing and playing in 70's and 80's. Totally unique talent! He could paint a picture with his words and melody like no other. I could listen to his harmonising to himself for many hours. Rest in Peace Dan.
Man, this one gets ya. Talk about pouring your soul into something.
This song just made me cry for the first time in well over a year. Maybe even two years.
My dad is gone 30 years and I still tear up when I hear this.
I love this song so much and it always leaves me with a lump in my throat because it’s so beautiful and emotional. Favorite Dan Fogelberg easily but he has so many good songs.
Touches me always and makes me tear up. A wonderful song. 💔
What I really like is the album version of this song because at the very end of it you can faintly hear a brass band playing a bit of a John Phillip Sousa song as the song fades out. I just love that little touch. Dan was such a poet & I just loved how he put words together.
I live this song. I graduated art school in 1984 (which my dad had major reservations about). As a present for letting me follow my dreams, I did a portrait of my dad and framed it with last verse as a thank you.
It’s amazing I haven’t that song in 30 years and I remember it brought tears to my eyes back then and just did again.. one of the best voices good reaction
Saw him live at Red Rocks. Magic night. And songwriting.
He's from where i grew up. A lot of my friends knew him and played in bands with him before he became famous. I never met him. He was famous before I got serious about playing. He had a good reputation around there before he was famous. His dad of course taught music in a local high school hence this song.
I always loved this song when it came out. I was in high school at the time in the early 80s. Haven't heard it in many years. Really made me tear up, as the anniversary of me losing my dad to cancer is coming up on 12/22. It'll be 15 years. I miss him so much. It hasn't gotten any easier. If anything, the more time that goes by the more that I miss him. Thanks for sharing.
“Run For The Roses” another GREAT song…
I'm delighted you have finally discovered this exquisitely talented musician. He wrote epic song after epic song, so many of which just grip you at a soul level. A great way to go next would be with a holiday-themed song, " Another Auld Lang Zine."
Just FYI Dan sang every note and played every instrument on all his albums....RIP Dan!
It was mentioned before and I must suggest Same Old Lang Syne! So gentle, sweet, and sad. Great story telling song that for many of us will almost draw a tear where you feel a memory of your own.
Dan was such a beautiful human... look up the lyrics to "Part of the Plan...."
This is my favorite song of his. He was my crush. I had posters and everything.
That song always make me cry missing my father. To see the new generaliza listening to it gives me hope. Thank you, guys!
I miss my dad too Amber. He's gone for 19 years. This song brings it to me. Sorry that you lost your dad so early Amber.
His "Longer" is a beautiful song.
Always one of my favorite artists. Got to see him do a solo acoustic concert one time--until he was joined for a few numbers by Tim Weisberg since they'd just released their first collaborative effort "Twin Sons of Different Mothers." A true loss when he passed too young.
I love how open you guys are to any and all music. This one is from my childhood. Makes me think of my relationship w my stepdad, may he rip. Thank you so much. ❤❤
My daddy has been gone for 30 years and the pain is always there; even when we are laughing at stories from my childhood.
I wish that my kids remembered him (they were 5 & 6) and that my own grandbabies could have known him.
Thank you so much for this reaction. You definitely made me and many others smile (cry) today. Sooo much from Fogelberg it's hard to choose. But my personal favorites among his radio hits are "Hard To Say"(1981), "Missing You"(1982) and of course "Heart Hotels"(1979).
What a gem beutifull ❤😊
Dan dog Elbert is a wonderful musician, songwriter and storyteller. Another great storyteller is Harry Chapin. He is definitely worth a reaction.
You MUST listen to his song Same Old Lang Syne especially around this time of new year I commented on it last year you will be blown away it is based on his real life. While the live version is good the studio version is better musically and vocally
Dan Fogelberg ....such a great artist!! The innocent age is another awesome song, which comes from the album of the same name, Also from that album is the song " In the passage" He was a great story teller!! Gone to soon😔
Love this song and LOVE “Run for the Roses”!
DF was one of the greats of the singer-songwriter genre and often gets overlooked today. My favorite song of his is "The Last Nail" which I don't think was ever a single, but one you should check out.
Just a wonderful and beautiful song.
He spent his last days in my hometown... A beautiful Island in Maine .. The Reach is where I am from.
OMG, you've made it to DAN!! I barely heard him growing up, but my husband's mother was obsessed. So my husband is a big fan... which now leads to me also being a huge fan now. He has so many great songs.
There is a concert of his on YT called Greetings from the West. The whole thing is amazing, I know you usually only do movie reacts and song reacts, but that concert would be an awesome reaction!
A beautiful tribute to his father.
I had an incredible crush on him! I love all his music!
