"The Reach"
Misheard Lyrics: It's May and it's autumn
The birches have just begun turning. Original Lyrics: It's Maine and it's autumn
The birches have just begun turning. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Brett M. Smith It didn't even occur to me that it would be a little difficult to be May and autumn at the same time, at least here in the USA. It wasn't until I created the "Ever On Dan ~ Fogelberg" web site/fan forum (at http://everon.info) and was chatting with one of the fans that I was corrected. Maine is where Dan lives part of the year, and he was writing about the life there. The other part of the year, he resides on a 610 acre ranch in Colorado...at least until it sells. (Selling price: 17.5 million dollars, pocket change.) |

The Leader of the band has died
And his body's getting cold
His blood run all over his instrument
And his body's getting cold
His blood run all over his instrument
Original Lyrics:
The Leader of the band is tired
And his eyes growing cold
His blood runs through my instrument
And his eyes growing cold
His blood runs through my instrument

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Stars"
The Lyrics: Far too many stars have fell on me
Why: Every time I hear this lyric, I cringe. "Have fell" is simply poor grammar, Dan. Either "far too many stars fell on me" (past tense) or "far too many stars have fallen on me" (present perfect tense) would have been correct, but "have fell" is a bastardization of theses two tenses that any second or third grader could catch.
