Birds, Words and music by Neil Young, Piano, lead and harmony vocals by Dan Fogelberg.This is a quite heartbreaking cover by Dan Fogelberg of Neil Young's "Birds". The track "Birds" is on Dan Fogelberg's final album Love In Time, which was released on August 13, 2009 -- his 58th Birthday -- approximately two years after his death. He recorded the tunes in his own studio at his home in Colorado before his death and then put the recordings away - to be released after his death. After his death, his wife Jean sent them off to be finished and commercially packaged with a beautiful cover Dan Fogelberg's photo.
(Thank you Jean for such a wonderful piece of Dan's music to share with all of us.)
The last song of the album is dedicated to his wife Jeanie. Listening to someone who knows that he will soon die while singing the refrain 'It's over...it's over' is "unbelievably poignant".
At the end of the song, Dan added the tune of "To the morning" (his first written song in his first album), the end connected to the beginning, what a brilliant idea, it's a full circle, Dan will always in our heart, we thank you for your love gift, we find comfort in your music, may your legacy ever on....
