Misheard Lyrics Story:

"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.)

Song Parody Fragments:

"Leader Of The Band"

Better Lyrics:

The Leader of the band has died
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

Nonsensical Lyrics:

"Hearts and Crafts"

The Nonsensical Lyrics:

And I asked if you still considered love an art
And you said No I think it's more a craft
And I just turned and laughed
I just had to turn and laugh.

Why They're Nonsensical:

The feeling is mutual, Dan.

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.
