Re: The Official Dan Fogelberg Thread

I reallly like Phoenix.

I had a copy of Phoenix on LP, Fever, but for some reason I sold it long ago. Other than that omission I still have them all up through The Innocent Age, plus his later High Country Snows. Oh, and the Twin Sons project, which has a few great songs on it, while the rest sound like slightly cheesy film music, IMO.

Re: The Official Dan Fogelberg Thread

Nice intro, Craig in Indy...well done.

Big Dan Fogelberg fan here too. It's a shame we lost him a few years ago. Great songwriter and performer.

My favorite albums are ''Souvenirs'' (1974) and ''Phoenix'' (1980). I highly recommend both these albums, if you wanted to check out Dan Fogelberg's music.

I always liked Fogelberg's music in the 70's, and I love his Souveniers album. "As The Raven Flies" is my favorite song, and I always thought the guitar solo (such as it was) sounded a little Joe Walshy. Now I know for sure!

Excellent tune...



As The Raven Flies

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies

She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you,
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you.

Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you.

Lonely, lonely
You know she's only
No good for you.

I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies.

Played Souvenirs twice the last couple of days, very laid back and good stuff. I don't live on metal/hard rock alone and Dan Fogelberg fills that niche admirably.

Thanks Dave.:tup:

You betcha, pal. That album really resonates with me when I'm in a reflective mood and am in need of calming music, which is not very often.

I'm glad you can appreciate it, too. Do you have any favorite songs from the album yet?

Curiously enough, "Morning Sky" popped up on my Shuffle as I was mowing the lawn Monday evening. I hadn't listened to it in quite a while. Very nice.

Re: The Official Dan Fogelberg Thread

Thought I'd give this a bump, I heard a song of his on the radio a couple days ago, and it wasn't bad... Definitely not the reaction I remember having to his music in the past:heheh:
What would be a good album of his to start with? Possibly the most energetic of his material?:gritnhumb
