Product Description

The song "Longer" by Dan Fogelberg, released in 1979 on the *Phoenix* album, is a romantic ballad that became one of his most popular songs and a soft rock classic. Written by Fogelberg, the lyrics of "Longer" are a timeless declaration of love, filled with poetic imagery about the beauty and depth of romantic feelings.

Fogelberg wrote "Longer" while on vacation in Hawaii. He mentioned that the inspiration came one night as he sat on the porch, gazing at the starry sky. With folk influences, the sound is soft and melodic, with a distinctive flugelhorn introduction (a variation of the trumpet), adding a classic and romantic touch to the song.

The lyrics speak of eternal love and devotion, using natural comparisons to convey the vastness and permanence of this feeling. Lines like *"Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean"* and *"Higher than any bird ever flew"* express the idea that love transcends time and life's limitations.

"Longer" achieved success on pop and adult contemporary music charts, solidifying Fogelberg as an important artist of that era. The simplicity and purity of the song continue to resonate with audiences today, being used in weddings and romantic celebrations. The song symbolizes enduring love and the beauty of relationships that stand the test of time.
