Longer - Dan Fogelberg

I'm really shocked! I found this single of 'Longer' earlier today and while doing research for this blog I found out that Dan Fogelberg died on December 16, 2007. I didn't know this - and it's always a bit of a shock when someone you admire passes away.

Dan Fogelberg has made a couple of outstanding ballads, of which 'Longer' is probably one of his best known ones. It has become a standard on weddings for its highly romantic lyric. Fogelberg himself jokingly described 'Longer' in the liner notes to one of his retrospective albums as 'the song that put me on the elevators.' The single reached number 59 in the UK singles chart.
