Loose Ends ~ Dan Fogelberg [ CC ] JMEagle101

After Dan bought the big ranch in Colorado, Dan "Hit a solid wall of writer's block. It remained unbroken for months until the eventual emergence of "Loose Ends", a psychologically dark song that opened the way for the others to follow. Throughout that winter the songs for Netherlands spilled out of him. Unlike those that had come before, these reverberated with haunting vestiges of the classical music he'd adsorbed from his parents. "That winter was like a marvelous dream. Once I broke through the writer's block, I was in ecstasy. Because it was like nothing I'd ever dreamed I could do." (Dan Fogelberg)
I want to dedicate this video to my friend Bobby, who wanted so desperately to put all Dan's music in YouTube. "Loose Ends" is an epic from Dan's "Nether Lands" album (Released 1977), its tasteful guitar work and soaring vocal harmony shows an unusual depth for such a young artist.

Loose Ends

Climbing a mountain in darkness
Stranded alone on the ledge
Every attempt that I make to hold on
Pushes me nearer the edge
Sensing the changes impending
My thoughts are diffused by despair
I feel like I'm swimming straight up underwater
Desperately racing for air
I'm racing for air

(Chorus)
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
Yet, we strike them again and again
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
As the night folds its wings and descends
Exposing the loose ends

Surrounding myself with possessions
I surely have more than I need
I don't know if this is justice hard earned
Or simply a matter of greed
A matter of greed
(Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
