- "Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold" Sung by Dan Seals
Saw your picture on a poster in a cafe out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweetheart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind
Chorus:
But, Oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh, the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
Well Old Red, he's getting older
And last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Casey, she's still growing
And she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all

I'd Really Love To See You Tonight (Acoustic re-release of his previous hit as England Dan & John Ford Coley) (1995)
I was 20 years old and at the Montana State Fair. It was at sunset in the rodeo arena with mountains surrounding us. The most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen as Dan Seals sang this song. One of the most beautiful memories of my life.
I envy you that.
Perhaps you are confusing some county fair.... but, the Montana State Fair is held in Billings. No mountains anywhere within site.
@@Frieghtliner1975 wow geography major are you? Must be a good “heavy hauler”!! Skid steer, maybe a backhoe on that 24 foot “heavy haul” trailer huh
@Shane Woods . Born and raised in Montana. So yeah, I know the state. Weird how my profession and where I grew up triggered you. Let me guess... your boyfriend has a crush on a local trucker ?
@@Frieghtliner1975 uhhhhh let me think about this for a min……..let’s see, 2 tours in Iraq and 2 tours in Afghanistan with the United States Army, held a cdl since 1992 and have hauled heavy equipment and flatbed while I was stateside since then. No not triggered and no boyfriend, same wife for 24 years and 2 sons as well. One wants to drive a truck for a living but you are the reason I’m trying to tell him to stay away from MY profession. I appreciate your reply and the way you judged right off the bat, makes me happy that me and many many others actually stayed away from our family for 2-3 years at a time for those fine people such as yourself. Be safe driver keep the rubber side down
My dad died in an industrial accident when I was seven and my brother was four. My poor mom was do sick. She had cancer. She struggled making 35.00 cents an hour to raise us. I was baby sitter because we couldn't afford one. She lived to see and hold my two boys when they were babies. I'll never forget all her sacrifices. I love you, Mom!
My band had the honor of opening for Dan for two shows in Eureka and Redding California. He was the nicest man I got to sit and talk to him for about after sound check. I’ll never forget him.
Your father was more than a milk farmer he was a stand up man. Never lose sight of the man who loves you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Only real country music fans know who ole Danny seals is!!!
Only the real old country fans:)
@@marksneddeker6818 Dan Seals used to be England Dan with John Ford Coley. He's great.
Or Rodriguez
@@marksneddeker6818 Hey, I'm not THAT old.lol
My dad raised us 6 kids after my mom left him My daddy was a milk farmer worked long hours but he was always there for us I lost my daddy in 2002 and I missed him everyday
They just don't make them like we used to
Respect your Dad.
Sorry for your loss.
He must have been one hellavu daddy,God speed.
Bless your daddy.
The first time I heard this song I started crying so hard I had to pull off the road. I have six daughters. Their worthless mother left us. The youngest was six weeks old when she left. That was a long time ago. With God's help we made it.
Im so sorry
How a mom could leave her kids don't know how she could do that I two sons I would never leave them
She’s missing out. Prayers to you all!
My dad was gone but not may his chosre he died when I was 12 from cancer
@@sylasdouglas6599 stfu no one cares
As a single father of a daughter who is now 10 years old this song really hits home.Shes starting to ask more questions about her mother.I never bad mouth her mother in front of her but its so hard to hold it in.
💗
Hang in there buddy, you will be paid back the day you walk your little girl down the aisle.
You are a better man for that. I have two daughters and truly the best thing we can do as fathers is to set a good example for them, so they know what a good man is when its time for them to choose. Stay strong Dad, being a father is not for the weak.
Oh I understand my friend. Mine are 18 and 17 now. Eventually they figure things out. You have to say it. Daughters are precious. I've been crying all week because of graduation this weekend. I can't let go its so hard. Treasure every minute.
Deep breathe Dad it's about her still ❤ you are a good man.
This song was popular when I was younger, but the song took on new meaning for me as a single father of a little girl. When it comes to women, "all that glitters is not gold." Never have truer words been spoken.
You are right, but men too. Not all men are/could be amazing husbands and fathers. My father is the perfect example of this. 22 years of marriage (now my mom is leaving him) and 20 years as a parent, and he is still mean, abusive and sexist. I'm better off without him.
You, instead, seem like an amazing man and dad, and I'm sure your daughter is happy to have you.
@@LucyQ-ew6zp oh definitely. Lots of terrible parents out there. People should have to complete some sort of class or something before they're allowed to procreate.
Kid across the rode from me has 2 moms as parents and the one whose the more motherly wasnt even born a woman I don't think. The "father" one had surgery to be a guy (like up top reduction surgery) and he, she, her what TF ever, looks like a lil pretty @ss flat chested college chick still.
Talk about needing classes to procreate. They need thorough mental evaluations before just my couple can adopt.
I feel for that lil boy and he keeps coming cross the road talking to me wanting to play catch lol. I put him up a basketball goal I fixed up out the trash. It's kinda like nature has him gravitating towards a real man and boyish things if you feel me.
I can tell he prolly gets picked at in school cause he gets off the bus looking all sad n sht.
Its gonna be hard for the lil fella when he gets older but hopefully tictok and social media in general, don't end up brainwashing him like his weirdo parents. They pushing that crap on lil kids and it ain't right.
To me if someone wants to be gay or whatever they call all that stuff then just be gay or be no sex or two sexes if ya want, just leave the God blessed little kids out of it til they mature.
And ny teacher that wants to throw a fit on tictok cause they can't tell a little 5 year old about their sex life, outta be removed from it just schools but society in general. They can have all the fun they want in prison. Them long term felons in there would appreciate it too.
Edit): I didn't mean to go off and write a whole book there and I'm sorry if I offend anybody that reads this but what I said is the truth and whoever the weirdo big city latte liberal is that reads this and report me, You know I'm right on what I said.
Prolly be some new York overpaid weakling that thinks since he got surgery that his tits can produce milk now and he can have periods too.
#morementalhealthcheckups
I raised my daughters after their mom left us. I feel your pain. And your joy.
@@dyackman That actually is rather a good idea!
Completely under-rated 80's Country music artist
no kidding. he was an unused talent for sure.
Agreed
I got to see him twice in concert. Loved it.
Bro you got that right. This is one of those songs that you actually feel what he's singing. I don't know the backstory but I'm willing to bet that this song was based off a personal experience of his. Ain't know way you just write this, this way, outta just creativity if you understand what I mean.
Oh man, I got to agree 100% on this...he sang out some hits when competing against many many other greats in the 80s.
All you single dad's out there with little girls keep it up. You are her entire world. My mom left when I was 3 and my dad did a hell of a job raising 2 little girls by himself. Lord knows it couldn't have been easy for him but he did it❤❤❤
I cry every time I hear this song. At 27 I suddenly found myself a single father with 2 young children 5/6 boy/girl. If you asked her I'm sure she would have said she was a good mother and loved them but her actions always said different. They were always an after thought to her. In the end so was I. They're grown now yet despite everything sometimes at night I can still feel her body next to me.
😞
I kne men that were abandoned by the mother of their children and raised them on their own - the mothers never returned - make that four men - incredibly sad - but the fathers and the children made out okay - hats off to all of you that have suffered this profound tragedy.
Wow, I can see why this song is so special to you.
Your life is the same as the song. Despite everything deep inside, you still love her, and that's ok.
Thanks for sharing your story with us.
My daddy raised me after my mom died , this song has always got to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry about that
I hope you still have your precious daddy. Don't you know your momma would be so proud of him. God bless you, honey.
@@sharonhall6951 you have a beautiful heart Sharon I wish I can get to meet you❤
My daughters call me daddy, your comment truly touched my heart. Anytime you are in rough patch your ma has her hand on your shoulder, but I'm sure you know that already. God bless you and your daddy.
I'm sorry for ur loss my prayers are with you
Named my daughter Casey because of this song.
Even if you never liked country music, it’s almost impossible to listen to this song and not be moved. Dan Seals is/was an amazing gem.
i learned most people in america at least dont know pain or loss. that is why so many seek drama out, on tv and in their personal lives. women especialy love to create drama....
My wife took a job in the city 3 hrs away. She lived down there all week and came home for the weekend. I took care of our two boys and worked a 40 hour per week job. She eventually met someone else down there and quit coming home on weekends. I made excuses for her to the boys. They don't know the heart break I still feel. But they've grown up and are two fine men. Miss you Dan. The world was a better place with you in it.
All you single fathers raising your beloved children alone understand this; there will never be a bigger or better example in your childrens' lives of a stand up, loving and caring person than you. How you loved them enough to bust your behind to keep them safe and happy will always be deeply remembered. Not just in their hearts but in their souls. Your imprint on those hearts and souls will make our country and world better by what you so selflessly did. The word "hero" is thrown around a lot now days but you, single dads, are the true heros in our midst. May G.od in heaven bless you and your children now and in the life beyond.
AMEN, thank you.
I raised my 4 kids alone. This song hits a nerve that I sometimes think is long dead. Me and my 3 adult sons are best friends I will always have my Special Needs daughter living with me. The years of struggling on my own cuz my ex wanted a different life were well worth it
Great songs, which of his songs would you say is your most favorite ?
❤ for all the single dads who are raising their children. May God almighty bless and keep you in all his ways 😊
And the single Moms! It's just as hard for them. Great parents come in both genders. So do deadbeats.
This song is everything that is missing in music today!
Still one of my favorites Dan Seals is still one of my favorite county artists. I saw him in concert in 1994. But he sadly passed away from cancer. R.I.P. Dan your music will live in the hearts of your fans
Dan gave us live and his music and then his father called him.. Beautiful Angel. Dan Seals your music will live on
I used to think this was just a song based on a kinda cute, very sad but ultimately make believe scenario. I guess not being married and having no kids and also living a somewhat sheltered life I took for granted that mothers didn’t abandon their children. After reading comments from a lot of men going through this had opened my eyes. God bless you strong single dads raising kids by yourselves, you are men of honor, doing right by your child regardless of the circumstances.
love reading the comments on good country music and seeing that there are still good folks out there
I lost my wife and three children with something that glitters
Yep yep
God bless you
I'm not normally an emotional guy, but this song gets me every time..
Dill Chives same
Me too
You have a beautiful heart
Me too
Same here
God Bless Dan Seals. He is immortal as long as his music touches the hearts of others.
He sure did. I remember listening to his music on the radio and tv. I saw him in person at a concert he had here in Hutchison Kansas back in 1994
This song is the one that made me fall in love with country music.
❤️ so much truth in your statement.
One of the greatest songs of all time, in my opinion!
PRECISELY
Totally does
Awsome
And it is the truth! Dan knew a good song when he heard it. He died way before his time.
In mine too brother!
God Bless him!😔My dad is 93,I’m so lucky to still have him!❤️
You are vey lucky dear ,I wish my dad was still alive too
I RAISED MY DAUGHTER WHEN MY X THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITH OUT US. THIS SONG CAME OUT ABOUT THAT TIME .STILL MESSES ME UP EVERY TIME IT COMES ON.
Single father of two beautiful daughters for the same reason as yours, and I'll be damned if we didn't pull it off in blue ribbon style. Yes, this song does mess with my head too, but the past no longer matters for any of us, we have each other and our futures, and five grand children to keep us busy as hell; Best of wishes my friend.
steven hewitt I'm proud of the dads that stood up and took care of their children when the moms abandon them
Patrick Reamy I'm not in that situation but it messes me up also
Patrick Reamy
God Bless You.
We need more dads like u man god bless u 😢🙏🏻
Love the honest pain of this song. Our Old Red died today at age 31.
I'm sorry to hear that Bro.
Mark & Judy Meadows sorry for that I am going through the process of my favorite horse
Like so many, i raised my 2 sons and daughter after she left us. Now im grandpa, kids call me everyday, we always end our calls with i love you. Yep she lost out on so much treasure. Love you kids.
Omg....Just Beautiful!! God Bless you and your family.!✝️
This song has a special place in my heart. I was the guy who kept my precious baby. I only saw glittering gold every day we were together. amen.........I prayed to God about it and he told me to raise Sam not to hate her mom, but to love her. we all have heartaches......Peace........God bless good country music. The story of our lives.....
driverain2 i love it so much

Just pure country. Seems those days are gone forever
I bawl my eyes out every time I hear this song. Especially now since a couple weeks ago, my Penelope had to get put down at the age of 20. I have had her since I was almost two. I'm almost 22 now. My heart is completely broken for my horse. She was a beautiful Palomino. I'm almost 22 and was raised on this kind of music. Not that crap in today's world. This music is what my children WILL be raised on as well. Love it. ❤
Ron Watson Thanks Ron! It's been a hard couple months but I'm coping now better than I was. it's hard losing a pet you've had for quite a long time. It sucks man.
Ron Watson awww you might have made me cry again, but this time it's not sad tears. Thank you for lifting my spirits Ron. I appreciate it. 💙
jjj023 You are definitely right about that one. I just wish our pets were able to live as long as us. Haha. I'm just so glad she's not in anymore pain. Seeing her struggle to walk was just as heartbreaking as letting her go. So knowing that she isn't hurting anymore helps me cope with it better. On the plus side, I just got another Palomino almost 2 weeks ago and her name is Charlotte. She's 4, looks almost exactly like my Penelope, and I Couldn't be happier.❤
I have a palimno had him seence I was 4 I'm now 12
Losing a pet is the worst, I'm glad you have a new horse! The new horse can't replace the one that passed, but it is the next animal that needs you....
One of my favourite country song. Who is still listening? April 2020 from Arusha Tanzania

I met the man when he played at the newly opened Willies Nightlife in Houston, It was my turn to play backstage bartender, honestly, I didn't look forward to it, the gig was catering to the band and making no tip money. I was so surprised at how genuine this guy was, I asked him if I could get him something to drink, we have soda, juice, beer, liquor....he said get us a beer. I said I cant drink on the job but I'll get you one, he looked at me and said "what! are they gonna fire you for drinking a beer with me! He never drank that beer, He asked me what was my favorite song by him and I said "my old yellow car" even though "everything that glitter..." was his biggest hit and LOA was his current one. He watched me drink mine and I got him some OJ before he went on stage and made a comment about me while he was singing he sang that song and gave me a nod when he sang it, an awesome man he was concerned about the people who took care of him
bill hargrave Man that's amazing! A heart as big as his voice!
Great story
That's cool Bill.
met him in Jamestown ND
talk to him after the show. great guy
Being a strong man has more to do with how tightly you hold up those around
you than it is about how hard you can hit someone.
Being a bold man has more to do with how soft your heart can be to those who love
you than it does with how tough you appear on the outside.
Being a man has everything to with love and nothing to do with hate.
Thanks for sharing that story. Sounds like he was a good man!
I could never even imagine leaving my children. Luckily, I married a woman who feels the same.
Such a sad but SO beautiful song. I'm glad I was around during the 80's, what a great era in music.
The best for country ❤
Not sure I ever heard a singer CRY a song like this one. Chills.. up and down.. right now.. chills!
Hello Denise 👋
Hello Denise how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
When I first heard this my wife had just died of breast cancer, I had a house full of teenagers, 7 kids, 5 have a College education 2 have PHD’s.
For me, an old guy trying to play country.
This song is the most beautiful and saddest in heart wrenching song ever written. Glad you're all not here to see an old man cry
Saw Dan Seals perform on 3 occasions, loved every second! RIP, Dan. Your missed.
I literally cry every time listen to this. gawdddd. crying in public currently
Hello friend, how are you doing today??
My hat off to all dads. Whether alone or not! Thank you for being shining examples of good men. Miss my dad with every breath!!
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
One of the best country songs ever written!!
Hello Tanya how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Hi beautiful Tanya. Good morning🌞😘 it's nice to meet you here. I hope your night was pretty good?
I had never read the comments on videos much in the past , I do try to read a few nowadays,
My wife left me and my two girls after 20 years of marriage,
They were elementary school age,
We had just had the utilities put in before the house was done,
She was nonexistant in our lives for 10 years,
Just enough to cause some trouble,
I thank God she just went away for the kids sake
I asked the girls what they wanted to keep, the horses or the new place, we couldn't afford both at the time, they said the horses,
So , as a ranching and rodeo family, we were able to keep their best friends,
That first few years was tough, I watched my mother struggle as a widow when I was 12 ,
As a born again Christian, I must say a person understands that Jesus Christ is really all we have.
As several others have commented, we made it , I have two best friends, both are ladies with a backbone of iron,
Psalms 3:3
I've been raised by a single father. I turn 18 this year and I can't imagine where I'd be without him. Dad, if you see this comment, it's Orrin and I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for everything.
Dont wait for him to see this. Walk right up and tell him ... tmrw is never promised
@@franka8888 Amen to that..
For me, this is the quintessence of country music. Lovely song.
This song hits so much harder when you're a single dad raising a little girl
This song touch my soul😢 Wonderful country song... i love the USA ❤ Greetings from germany
Ja stimmt.
Grüsse aus Deutschland
Pure truth. I was 16 when the song came out, still just as beautiful of a song today!
I miss country music 🎶 can't tell me people wouldn't love this today this junk out now is awful no talent crap , old school country will never die in my heart ♥ long live country like this
Moparmainiac I have heard , and my ears bleed and heart breaks. However there are memories, and, Some Memories just Wont Die😊
+Alchemie Helms the country music out today isn't junk, it just caters to a different audience, which is unfortunately what the masses seem to want today, pity since I also think they're missing out on great music like this. It just a soothing, feel good nostalgia to it. :)
+Alchemie Helms okay, now what song is this , on the tip of my tongue - some memories just won't die?
Ellie Larocque song by, Marty Robins, some memories just won't die , its an awesome classic country song:)
+J Bsea like a country pop music
Beautiful song with many lovely lyrics. "For everything you win there's something lost." Reminds me of Merle Haggard's "Holding Things Together" in content.
I have loved this song since i was a little kid, and even now, 25 years later (give or take a few), it still has the same power as it did then. Some songs, truly are timeless, and for me, this is one of them. Thanks for the upload.
God Bless the time having Dan Seals.he was one of a kind..
RIP. Dan you are missed.
Bawling my eyes out in 2024, sent to my dad. Always loved this song and going through some feelings when I looked it up today. 😭❤️
One of the last great country songs cut; before country music died! The pop they try to pass off as country today is S&^T!
Scott Burger Saw a tee-shirt the other day that described this perfectly. "I'm not getting old. Your music really does suck."
Scott Burger not just pop they are putting rap into country also
nedyost63 its corporate country, what the record producers want, not whats from the heart.
Honestly I kinda feel bad for some of today's singers. I hear some of their stories, and they're not like the songs they sing. I get the feeling that those guys want to put out some traditional Country, but it's gotta be in the Bro Country format for them to make any money out of it. Sad, but true.
Luke combs is pretty talented
I repeat this.
I wasn't there in the 80s. I was born in 1994, but the 80s is by far the best musical generation....
Who's listening in to this classic in 2021?
Same bro! :)
I was born in 1993 but I love 80s music. Best musical generation for sure.
I sure was around in the 80's and it was an awesome musical generation. You're spot on.
2022
The 80s is country gold in my book. Late 70s cosmic cowboy stuff is great too
it's hard for a single father of 2 daughters. ...when their mom is worthless. ...but they still miss her...I don't have all the answers growing girls ask....but I'm trying. ..they are my world.
great job dad!!
You will do fine, my daughter is going through the same. Just the other way around. God Bless.
you got this dad!
So sorry Wayne, hope you are doing well my friend. Songs like this always helped me, and I hope it helps you too.
Don't over think it!!! They will always have you and you will always have them!!
You cross my mind everyday! I love my girls and miss them all dearly!
SUPERB singing & the little Girl is soo adorable!
Fortunately I was able to raise my four daughters in an intact home. Their Mom and I were both "stayers" through thick and thin. And, believe me, there was plenty of thin. Yet, I have lived out the sad sentiment in this song repeated in the lives of my girls and the worthless men who have darkened their lives from time to time. This sword cuts both ways. I'm sure I don't have to remind many of you of this. Wish I could write songs like this!
I definitely understand where you are coming from brother.
Whatever dream they are chasing I guarantee before they fall asleep they think about what they left and what an empty feeling it must be., God Bless single mothers and fathers , it’s the hardest most rewarding job there is
One of the very few songs to ever make me cry.
tears are rolling down my face....quietly....silently...
I'm so glad I stumbled across this one on YT. I heard it many years ago on the radio but never knew the title. I just took a chance, clicked on the button, and there it was, the song I remembered. Lovely, bittersweet story of a guy who can never really forget or forgive.
It's amazing how you can go without hearing a song for twenty years and remember every word when you hear it again... ❤
My dad shared this song with me when I was a young tight. I’m now 15 and I have and will forever love this song. ❤
I raised my niece and followed the rodeo circuit. I cried like a baby when I heard this song..
This is real country music, not the teen-pop that floods the radio these days. If you hear a song and it makes you think of horses or mountains or rodeos or dry flat land for 600 miles to Denver then you have yourself a country song and a treasure.
This song rips at your soul. So powerful!
Dan was truly amazing, this song takes me back to a better place and simpler time, miss it so!
I cut onions right about the time he sings" last Saturday he stumbled."
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
My lord, I haven't heard this in years. I remember this song in the car with my Mom. Now, they say they don't like country music, but this and Willie's Blue Eyes are some of my best memories...country is everything really.
Hello friend, how are you doing today??
people who listen to this must have a heart of gold
I had forgotten about this song. It's so beautiful . Dan Seals at his best !
1986
Shirley D ONE OF THE MOST UNDER RATED SINGERS AND SONGWRITERS ....EVER.
One of the most poignant and relevant songs of our time!! How very cleverly written!
A beautiful song that can pierce the heart!
This song is why my name is kasey and ironically it was just me and my dad growing up this songs hits the heartstrings
I was named after this song as well. It’s funny though my dad named me after this song but my mom is the one that was always there. He was too but he did things that a husband/father shouldn’t. So I turn it around and sing it to him instead of my mom.
God Bless you guys.
One of the 80s best. Country music today just straight out sucks, pardon my language.
Those were the real emotional heart felt golden years of country.
Seals really could hit your heart. It's funny, my music collection has bands like Disturbed, Godsmack, Chevelle... but yet I still keep the real heart felt stuff like Dan, Ronnie, and Willie close by. That's the real heart felt emotional music and will always have a place for me.
no need to shine when u have peace of mind
Hello friend, how are you doing today?
What a song! Dan Seals was a true treasure.
I've never understood how a mother leaves her baby.....my son is raising his daughter I'm very proud of him.
RIP Dan Seals ----------I'm not really a C & W kind of guy, but oh how I loved this man's music , when he was with John Ford Coley, & later, on hos own. Good guy, great voice & music. ---------------------MJL, 76 y/o
My Dad raised us while my mom restarted her life without us this song reminds me of her .
rest in peace dan. we miss u so much
Shout out to Bob McDill for co-writing this song with Dan Seals. Beautiful stuff!
Another good classic.... I have not heard these in so long.... Thanks for posting these song..now I'm older I understand these song
Hello friend, how are you doing today??
This is the story of my life.. my mom raised me alone. RIP great man!
Fantastic song and the video is beautiful.I was so lucky to see Dan here in concert in England a few years ago.R.I.P Dan along with all the other great country stars who went far before their time.x
I love the whistling at the end. I love the whole song but the whistling at the end is a perfect touch.
My daughter's first Pony was named red he's almost 23 now every time I hear this song I think of all the shows and county fairs that I went to with my daughter
Great memories of great Texans. Dan Seals (born in McCamey, TX) was given the nickname "England" by his older brother James (born in Sidney, TX) because as a kid, Dan liked the Beatles so much that he affected an English accent for a while.
Dan's first huge success was as half the duo England Dan and John Ford Coley (born in Dallas, TX) with hits "I'd Really Like to See You Tonight", "Nights Are Forever Without You", "What's Forever For", etc.
Jim, of course, had his own hits as half the duo Seals and Crofts (born in Cisco, TX) with songs "Diamond Girl", "We May Never Pass This Way Again", "I'll Play for You", "Summer Breeze", etc.
Dan's father, Danny Seals, had performed with Bob Wills and Ernest Tubb, so as an older performer, he returned to his country roots.
I knew them from the family visits to Erath County, Texas, where they would visit another country legend, cousin Johnny Duncan (born in Dublin, TX) who later had hits including "Come a Little Bit Closer", "She Can Put Her Shoes Under My Bed Anytime", "Thinkin' Of A Rendezvous", "It Couldn't Have Been Any Better", "Montana", etc.
Great memories, great music, great people!
One of my all time favorite songs. Wish country music was still like this today
The part where he talks about Ole Red just gets me. I just lost an old animal recently and I had to experience that situation :(
+Big Tex I understand. It just tears my heart out to lose a faithful animal. Most people don't know how important or how meaningful they are. I love my animals, they are my livelihood and i protect them.
try listening to feed Jake buy the Pirates of Mississippi
+Big Tex yes animals hold a big part in my hart sorry for your loss
If you can get through that without tearing up,you have no soul.
It's been over 40 years since I lost my beloved Julie. She was the most precious dog I've ever known and the part about Ole Red gets me every time.
My Mother left when I was young. This song tears me up...however, I cherish this song...
Lee Lee for the first time I heard this song i'm fill so different I love this song
yep, half a life time later the truth does not change and am drawn to it like a moth to the flame though you know its going to hurt uk
Sorry
i miss you grandfather. :)
His legacy lives on, Sweetheart. Through you, his music, and the lives he touched. I hope you realize how special of a man he was--even to those who didn't know him personally. Sending you love from Georgia...
My deepest overdue heartfelt condolences to you.....I grew up on his music and it takes me back to a time when everything was new and exciting. Music like that keeps me alive :)
He made some amazing songs that will continue to touch hearts for years to come.
so does the world
u know 2018 he still lives threw u and his fans and music ....god bless u
I like the way the slide show at the end fades from the woman to the girl. Good job. One of Dan's best songs.
NO ONE's music has ever affected my heart like Dan Seals.
I am amazed that there has been so much music this inspirational from one man.
What has become of decency in music ?
Unapologetic vulgarity now takes center stage as the world descends into materialism.
God help us all.
Very touching song
What a heart breaker. This is when music was really music
Still one of the best of its kind. Anyone from 2020?
