Dan Fogelberg’s 1979 hit “Longer” is a love ballad for the ages. Now, a father-son duo has brought new life to it in 2026.

Jack, 16, who has level 2 autism, and his dad Eric have been sharing videos of themselves on social media, performing a slew of songs as Jack builds LEGO models. Their unique versions of classic rock, folk, and love songs have touched the hearts of people all over the world.

Most recently, their rendition of Fogelberg’s hit (with Jack singing and Eric accompanying on guitar) went viral.

“Jack is in charge of all music that we learn and [making] videos,” his dad Eric tells Upworthy. “He listens to suggestions from various listeners and friends, but we only do the songs that resonate with Jack.”

@jackanddadmusic Jack is still loving the music of the 70’s. Seems like he is discovering new favorites every day. So here’s a little Dan Fogelberg for you 🎶❤️ 💙 he is building a Simpsons Lego set that he got for Christmas. #jackanddadmusic #coversong #70s #singer #autism ♬ original sound – jackanddadmusic

Jack sings Fogelberg’s ‘Longer’

In the video, Jack is front and center as his dad Eric plucks a guitar behind him. As Jack sings in front of a microphone, he is simultaneously building a Simpsons LEGO set that he received for Christmas.

While his hands are busy, Jack’s sweet voice shines, hitting every high note as he flips through the LEGO instruction manual. His voice is effortless as he sings the song’s first verse:

Longer than there’ve been fishes in the oceanHigher than any bird ever flewLonger than there’ve been stars up in the heavensI’ve been in love with you

In the video’s caption, his dad added: “Jack is still loving the music of the 70’s.”

Jack is clearly a Fogelberg fan, and he posted another video of him singing “Leader of the Band” a couple weeks later.

@jackanddadmusic We listened to “Leader of the Band” on repeat for an entire 30........
