Band why lyrics

I love to hear people's back stories on songs that have affected them,even tho' they are heart breaking and not about happiness. Thanx for sharing. General Comment Everyone sings about their mothers. But if I ever write a song, it will be about my father. Not that he was any less influential than my mother, or even that he deserves it less, but I often feel that my dreams are similar to the ones he never attained.

If I ever acheive them myself my most intense hope will be that he understands that it's just as much his accomplishment. It's the father's role to try and make his son better than him. It is the rare instance that both father and son agree that, despite different choices and opinions, this has happened.

And when the son "makes it," the contentment the father feels must be amazing. This is a song about making it, and trying hard to tell Dad that it is his acheivement just as much as yours. General Comment You are right on ballzofsno. Dan is saying that he is who he is because of his father's influence liverdude on June 27, Link.

General Comment one of the best songs about fathers anywhere. General Comment The part of this song that strikes me the most is one of the last parts of the song, "and papa I don't think I said I love you near enough". It strikes a definate cord with me personally because I know from personal experience what it is like being close to a family member and all of the sudden getting the news that they have passed on.

I picked that line from the song specifically becuase it speaks to anyone who has had a lfamily or loved one die and retrospectively feel that they have come short, even if it is only a perception, of showing the true extent of the love and affection that they had for the person.

He has introduced me to so many types of music that I've fallen in love with. For instance, the Beatles, Dan Fogelberg, and so many other types of great classic rock. And sometimes I dont think I appreciate my dad enough.

I think this is great song. I guess ive said that before though. General Comment Wow, mongoosesstalker, that's really sweet. Now that I thought of it, I agree with you. I always appreciate my dad because he provides us with everything. But I never acknowledge him when he influenced me with his music. And we both love The Beatles. They're my passion, and if it wasn't for my dad and his support, I would never have loved REAL music. Oh yeah, I got goosebumps on this.

Especially in the line "a cabinet maker's son". This might not mean a lot to you, but this means a lot to me for my grandfather was a carpenter. And so my father is 'a cabinet maker's son'. Oh yeah, is this song based in reality? Did Dan sang this for his dad? Its purpose is to make it possible to discover which words are most repeated by an artist or band.
