    Lyrics
    Some kind of message comes through to you
    Some kind of message comes through
    And it says to you
    Love when you can
    Cry when you have to
    Be who you must
    That's a part of the plan
    Await your arrival
    With simple survival and
    #DanFogelberg #PartofthePlan #GreetingsfromtheWest

    My music teacher at Woodruff High was so proud of Dan. She retired in my Senior year, a year or so after this song was on the radio. I think Dan was that one student that validated her whole career. RIP Mrs. Lauterbach. RIP Dan.

    Back in 1974, this song introduced me to Dan and set me on the journey to adding all his albums to my collection. Saw him live once and it's still one of the best concerts I've ever been to. What an amazing musician, song writer and wordsmith.

    I went to see Dan in concert once and there was a warm up band first. They came out in run down outfits and they all had funky outfits and pencil thin mustaches. They Played funk, blues and good old rock and roll. When Dan and band came out, we all realized that they were the warm up band in disguise.

      We just do not see and hear music of the calibre and incredible songwriting ability like we have here from the late ,great Dan Fogelberg ? There are not too many musicians/ songwriters of his consistency with brilliant lyrics and songcraft . He really was a special talent and human being .I still don't fully believe Dan got the proper recognition and respect from his peers that he deserved and earned outright ? It is happening now though ...slowly but surely . Best wishes from Scotland .

    "There is no Eden or heavenly gates?" Think again. There is a God who loves you and made us in his image. He loved us enough to take on human form and die so that we could be with him forever. We are not perfect, but He is able to perfect us.

    • @donaldvogel6626
      @donaldvogel6626 Před 4 lety

      In my own interpretation, I choose to correlate Dan’s verse to a similar set of lyrics by Jackson Browne; “Better bring your own redemption when you come to the Barricades of Heaven....” Not a denial of the Spiritual, but guidance to find it along one’s way. I suppose one could see similar thoughts in the lyrics of the Grateful Dead’s Ripple” as well, sort of a “Gnostic” approach to Salvation rather than a strict “by the book” literal religious path.

  • @bcbennet1
    @bcbennet1 Před 2 lety +2

    Excellent music...very poor choice of lyrics at the end...when he denies that "there is no Eden, or heavenly gates"--atheism/denial of Christianity is a fool's errand...not to mention a denial of his entire thesis to the song...since if God does not exist, not only is life meaningless with no plan, but a cruel, absurdity (which is clearly not the case).
