So underrated! When he stepped into country music from pop he had made huge impact with many country radio hits . I wasn't aware that he hadn't been inducted already. I'm really shocked by that.
@Robert Collett Fully agree. This song is so beautiful, so romantic and sad at the ssme tome. Dan Seals may no longer be with us but his songs will live on forever.
You are so right!... if you ever liked T. Graham Brown give his album "BARE BONES" a listen.. he did this to many of his hits. It's a somewhat newer album, relatively speaking, it's all acoustic and 3 part harmony.. it blew me away too!
Probably one of the most iconic ballads in the 70 's. It is a gem. I heard this probably when I had just turned 8 years old. Even 50 years later I had this song in mind today. A feel good song
Even though Dan Seals didn't write this song, you would have thought he did given how much emotion he sings it with. Truly heartfelt. RIP, Dan Seals. You were one of the best.
I'm not trying to be a "know it all", but Dan Seals (and a lot of others - musicians, my friends, etc.) sing the lyrics "there's a warm wind blowing the stars around" but the actual lyrics is "there's a warm wind blowing , the stars are out." I used to think it was "warm wind blowing the stars around " myself. Anyway - it doesn't matter. Just thought I'd point that out.
Good ears. They might be alternating....same syllable count. Anyway, here in Canada it's a typical November day with the cold wind blowing the clouds around. Cheers!
So I just came to my mind today, just walking in my neighborhood in New York City feeling the warm wind. Then I remembered that single line, “there’s a warm wind, blowing the stars around.”
He and John Ford Coley did an amazing job with the original version of this song in the mid-70s; I remember growing up a fan of England Dan (and John Ford Coley), and also as a fan of Dan Seals and then realizing Danny was the same person. He always did such an amazing job with this and his other classics. I can't believe it's been 11 years -- I miss his voice so, so much.
I met John Ford Coley several years ago, and deeply regret that I never got to meet Dan before he died. He had such a fantastic voice, and by all accounts he was kind and humble.
I was in Nashville this past Thanksgiving and upstairs at Tootsie's was a young up and coming want to be musician. At one of his breaks he came out for tips and to get requests. I said anything Dan seals except Bop. This supposed musician looked at me with a jackass grin and said "who the heck is Dan Seals" I said you need to study your genre because he is the best singer and songwriter to ever grace this planet.
Not saying the people in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame don't deserve it? But they haven't been about inducting people based off their dues to the industry for some years now! And it's pathetic and disrespectful if you ask me! It's all about ratings, they should be ashamed of their selves
My buddy and I met Dan Seals in the early 80's at 'The Backdoor' at an Open Mic night at San Diego State University. We played a couple songs, and he came up and introduced himself as "New England Dan". He was very nice to us. Then he proceeded to play several of his hits, left handed fingerstyle on a standard 12 string. Blew us all away. Loved that guy.
I think this is more beautiful and he had wiser delivery, with all respect to the original. Maybe it's the childhood comforting nostalgia talking for me but well yeah
Dan Seals did a wonderful job with this song, he's got a gifted talent and a wonderful voice, I can't get over this song with him singing it, I'm glad he did. I'm sad he passed away, he would have kept on singing, no matter what. :)
I always listen to both versions of this song. I love both versions but there's something about this one that just tugs at my heart strings. If only......*sigh*. Life goes on, people move on, but if only I could see him tonight.
2020 This song seems to just melt cares away Im sorry Dan Seals is no longer with us Can you just imagine how much more rich his voice would have been Jenny 💖💕😎
I was literally in pre-school when this tune came out, and I loved it then. This acoustic version comes off as genuine and heartfelt. Thanks for a great song.
I love this song by both of them but Dan is blowing me away with this version. RIP Dan, both you and your brother who just recently left us were both great singers and left a wonderful legacy.
I imagine this song playing at the end of a documentary made for the wonderful duo England Dan and John Ford Coley. John Ford Coley kneeling by his grave in Tennessee resting that hat upon his grave before slowly fading into darkness.
😢😢😢😢. I can't help but tears, everytime that i saw, heard this song. it makes life uplift & remove something inside my heart. That it makes me at ease.. What a wonderful song from a very inspiring music man. Rest in peace Mr. Dan Seals.
You know, Being born in the early 70s I had all kind of music from Country to R&B to POP to Soft rock..etc.. These Groups were in their most touching to me. I always look back at videos of these groups and England Dan and John Ford Coley have always had their special place in my heart when I take all the 70's music in one glorious musical pile.. Most groups do break up and I believe that his desire to pursue country music was a matter of personal creativity. And listening to this country version of his former hit was just as touching as the original. I love them both. I miss the sounds of the 70's.. Even disco *blushes* RIP (February 8, 1948 - March 25, 2009)
I completely agree. when we did the video, the record label gave me that CD and said, "make him look like the cover" we did our best to imitate the warmth of the photo in the video lighting. thanks for watching and joining the conversation
For some unknown reason, this song takes me to a specific street back in my college days. I see the tall trees along the street, the gentle night breeze is swaying the branches revealing the starry sky. The street lights confirm that the street is empty. So smooth, quite nostalgic
@@scottpowell5605 You are so right Frankie Valli My Eyes Adored You If i was to tell that story it would be censored Im a 61 yr old Granny now but hey i wasnt always Jenny 😘
still loving this song (march 8, 2019) eventhough i was born in 1985. 😊 'Stay at home and watch tv --- Netflix or Iflix 😍 Thank you for the music . RIP Dan Seals.
This was the first CD I ever actually listened to, we had just got a stereo with a CD player. I want to say 1994-1995. Back when my mom and I lived in alberta my mom worked at a hotel and dan seals stayed there, and he gave my mom this CD. She still has it. It brings tears to me when I hear it
dan Seals was my favorite singer! I fell in love with his voice when heard "Love is the answer".I cried when I heard he passed away!😢😢😢
Dan Seals had an even more succesful career when he went back to his country roots.
He lived 2 doors down from me in the 70s when I was a kid. His son and I used to play together.
Who is this ? Dan's son asking.
@@jimjwseals7392Your dad is a true legend my friend!
Dan Seals deserves to be in the country music Hall Of Fame!
I agree- thanks for watching and commenting
I agree with you.

Not many musicians can absolutely blow you away with a creative cover of one of their own songs.
That is a great comment and I couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment
Have you listened to Mason William's "Classical Gas"? The arrangement in 1968 had horns, then in 1970 he made an acoustic version. Both are great!
Cheers!
You are so right!... if you ever liked T. Graham Brown give his album "BARE BONES" a listen.. he did this to many of his hits. It's a somewhat newer album, relatively speaking, it's all acoustic and 3 part harmony.. it blew me away too!
As good as Clapton's acoustic version of Layla from his Unplugged album.
God how much I miss this guy. One of the most underrated singers ever. What a voice 💔🎶
Probably one of the most iconic ballads in the 70 's. It is a gem. I heard this probably when I had just turned 8 years old. Even 50 years later I had this song in mind today. A feel good song
There are not that many songs that are as relevant today as they were 50 years ago. He was one-of-a-kind. thanks for watching and commenting
Of course I love the original best. But that voice. It gives me chills. This has always been one of my favorite songs. It really touches the heart.
@@marycoffey4961So true! What a beautiful song. And what wonderful memories it brings back!
Even though Dan Seals didn't write this song, you would have thought he did given how much emotion he sings it with. Truly heartfelt. RIP, Dan Seals. You were one of the best.
"There's a warm wind blowing the stars around" ...lyrical magic.

Beautiful version. I’ll always love the original, but this intimate acoustic approach is perfect by Dan.
He also recorded the original version together with John Ford Coley.
He and John Ford Coley did an amazing job with the original version of this song in the mid-70s; I remember growing up a fan of England Dan (and John Ford Coley), and also as a fan of Dan Seals and then realizing Danny was the same person.

I was a fan too. It was great to get to work with him on this video- thanks for watching and commenting
im his fan too from Philippines .... missed you Dan .... thanks to all the songs you've shared with us..RIP
I agree with you. He’s an amazing singer!❤️

I said you need to study your genre because he is the best singer and songwriter to ever grace this planet.
Miss you dad, I wish I can see you tonight. I guess I have to move on. 😔🥲
Beautiful song. Tell your girl how much you love her, before these lyrics apply to you.
I can listen to Dan Seals forever❤️🌹
Amen to that Lorraine A voice like melted chocolate Jenny 💖💕😎
so do i lorrainne...
He was go great. thank you for watching and commenting.
look up his song STILL REELING
Great singer ignored by rock n roll and songwriter hall of fame..
Not saying the people in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame don't deserve it? But they haven't been about inducting people based off their dues to the industry for some years now! And it's pathetic and disrespectful if you ask me! It's all about ratings, they should be ashamed of their selves
I think he deserves to be in the SWHOF as well. thanks for watching.

That sounds like a great night. Thanks for watching.
Jim Seals 's brother
Such a nice, a relatable song. This is how people communicate in real life.
I still think singing with John made this song so much better.
He does absolute justice to this classic song. Beautiful.
He DID write it, ya know?? :) cheers!
Actually, no, he didn’t. It was written by Parker McGee. Cheers!
Touching base with old friends, old loves, makes life so fulfilling. Thank you, brother Dan, for another great song. R.I.P., my friend!
What a great song. Thanks for watching and commenting.
. . .and such a nice guy. thanks for watching and commenting
He seems like he was such a nice guy.
One of my all time favorite artists. Left this earth too early.
This song takes me right back to the 70s. ❤️
Beautiful Dan, I love this version better then the original, your voice was beautiful, R.I.P.
I cant believe its the same man England Dan and Dan Seals just found that out now
I like both versions.
Naa
I think I like it better than the original too. Thank you for watching and remembering.
He was so talented it was an easy transition R.I.P. 😔
One of my Favorite Songs of All Time.. no matter what version.
I don't think I could ever decide if I like the original or this version better. Both are amazing. R.I.P
So much talent was in him. Such a big loss. Nights are forever without him.
Wow, I love this slower "half cover" of this 70s classic. RIP Dan :(
I miss the 70's .. I miss your voice Dan. Your version of this song is so heartfelt :'(
RIP "England Dan" Seals . You will be missed
This guy has been such a part of my life for so long.. he's amazing
I think this is more beautiful and he had wiser delivery, with all respect to the original. Maybe it's the childhood comforting nostalgia talking for me but well yeah
Ah England Dan. Left us way way to soon rip
Dan Seals did a wonderful job with this song, he's got a gifted talent and a wonderful voice, I can't get over this song with him singing it, I'm glad he did. I'm sad he passed away, he would have kept on singing, no matter what. :)

RIP, Dan Seals -------------love this song even more when you sing it alone.
I always listen to both versions of this song. I love both versions but there's something about this one that just tugs at my heart strings. If only......*sigh*. Life goes on, people move on, but if only I could see him tonight.
I was a big fan before I got the chance to work with him. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Jacque. ** Wow-The most powerful thing in your comments was what you didn't say- but merely implied by the sigh**
Oh my God, what a beautiful hoarseness of his voice ! Really, he is a singer in every sense of the word.👍🌹🥰
even the acoustic guitar sounds pretty
I got chills. This was gorgeous.
Thank you, sir! It's one of my favorites. I enjoyed directing the video. Dan was great.
Dan Seals, Steve Wariner, Earl Thomas Conley. My favourites 💪🏼
Ti ho scoperto tardi caro Dan!Dio ti abbia in gloria...😪😇😇😇😇😇💘💘💘💘
My God, he was great.
What a beautiful voice. This song takes me back to high school in the 70s when he first released it with John Ford Coley. ❤❤❤😢
2019 and this is still good
2020 This song seems to just melt cares away Im sorry Dan Seals is no longer with us Can you just imagine how much more rich his voice would have been Jenny 💖💕😎
I agree with that! thanks for watching and posting
Always thought EDJFC were musical gods. They had a great sound and many radio hits.
I’d like YOU to change our lives.
I was literally in pre-school when this tune came out, and I loved it then. This acoustic version comes off as genuine and heartfelt. Thanks for a great song.
But I am almost here (Jack). 🥰Change my life, come on, don't ask always if you are allowed to, that makes me crazy 🤪// Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful song. Love this version. I was lucky enough to see him twice in performance at small venues. Ha had an amazing and moving voice.
He was great, and he had such a tender spirit. A real joy to be around. thanks for watching and commenting
She recommended me this song at night and I really liked how she give a small guesses
Old is GOLD ❤️
I absolutely like his version of this song. 👍
He is the original artist of the original song.
Rip Dan. Seals. Thanks for the great music.
I love this song by both of them but Dan is blowing me away with this version. RIP Dan, both you and your brother who just recently left us were both great singers and left a wonderful legacy.
Well he also sang the original with John Ford Coley.
So remember this song in high school. 1973 i believe
RIP Dan Seal. I love this song. From Perú.
The one and only Dan Seals. My daily PRAYER to U… Thanks for the music…
**My favorite 70's song-really takes you back**
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

He could sing almost as well as Glenn Campbell ...
Listening to Dan all the way from Ghana (Africa) makes night
Love it❤❤❤❤
one of those songs i consider better than the original...
Great job love it
England Dan & John Ford Coley were magical together. Then someone meddled in their business and broke them up.
2019 anyone?
Spending day listening to Dan Seals and Paul Davis

Greetings n best wishes to you from Germany🖐🙂
I always talk to my husband before we married and we snuggled to listen to this. Oh now he crooning other songs now after together almost 4 years.
Ahhhh…the memories. ❤️
Dan has an amazing voice.
For some unknown reason, this song takes me to a specific street back in my college days. I see the tall trees along the street, the gentle night breeze is swaying the branches revealing the starry sky. The street lights confirm that the street is empty. So smooth, quite nostalgic
Ain't it funny how a melody
can bring back a memory
