GA Russell Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 My sister has asked me who did a song (I'm pretty sure it was a hit in the 70s) whose last line was "I'll be in love with you." I'm pretty weak on 70s music, and I thought someone here would know. As I recall, the singer has a fairly high voice, and I would call the song soft rock, maybe 70s folk rock. My sister says that the melody goes: g ed efgagecd g ed efgaba g ed efgagecd gfe(flat) dc Thanks! Quote
rachel Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 (edited) Dan Fogelberg's "Longer Than" Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you. Stronger than any mountain cathedral Truer than any tree ever grew Deeper than any forest primeval I am in love with you. I'll bring fires in the winters You'll send showers in the springs Well fly through the falls and summers With love on our wings. Through the years as the fire starts to mellow Burning lines in the book of our lives Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow I'll be in love with you. Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean Higher than any bird ever flew Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens I've been in love with you I am in love with you..

GA Russell Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 Thanks Rachel! I suggested to my sister that it might be Dan Fogelberg, but the name Longer Than doesn't mean anything to me. I googled his greatest hits albums, and none of the titles were familiar. I'll let my sister know. Quote
rachel Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) That song is burned in my psyche. Chalk it up to the romantic angst of my teens in 1982. The guy who broke my heart turned out to be a total dick, and he's now fat with hair like Larry Fine and a hundred kids and a naggy wife. I think I win. Edited February 15, 2008 by rachel Quote

In the 1982 you should have dated a guy with these brand new Lps in his lousy hole at the college, like me # Big Science - Laurie Anderson # Combat Rock - The Clash # Music for a New Society – John Cale # Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen # Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel # Pornography - The Cure # Rough Diamonds - Bad Company # The Tunes of Two Cities - The Residents # Under the Big Black Sun - X # Talking Heads - The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads # David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust: The Motion Picture Quote
rachel Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) Oh, indeed! I love most of those lps you mention--especially The Clash and Talking Heads. (but no way my father would let me near a college boy... ) I never liked Fogelberg's song; it was just *everywhere* back then to the point of nausea. Edited February 15, 2008 by rachel Quote

Alec Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 I think the song she is looking for is the Livingston Taylor song I WILL BE IN LOVE WITH YOU Livingston Taylor ©Morgan Creek Music/Solid Smash Music (ASCAP) - All Rights Reserved I don't know what words to say But when I see you I know they'll come They'll be words that finally say How much I've needed someone Just one look and then I'll hear those sweet words pour on in, I will be in love with you, I'll be in love with you. I don't know how lonesome I have been I live that way day to day, But I long to ask myself How did I ever live that way? Just one smile from you, A million others will not do. I will be in love with you, I'll be in love with you. I don't know how to be soft I've become hard just to survive But I long to become gentle Gentleness brings love alive. Take these two strong hands Soften them darling understand I will be in love with you, I'll be in love with you. I will be in love with you, I'll be in love with you. Quote

GA Russell Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Posted February 17, 2008 First time I've seen "Porcupine" listed for hair. Is that real or a gag? Quote
Ron S Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 First time I've seen "Porcupine" listed for hair. Is that real or a gag? Well, let's see: the expiration date on the driver license (1/24/75) happens to be the same date as Larry's death. Is it a gag? Or was the California DMV just amazingly prescient? Quote
Ron S Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) By the say, here's what Larry looked like in real life when he wasn't stoogin' out: Edited February 17, 2008 by Ron S Quote
