"Yellowstone (Coming Home)" by John Denver
This is a unique mix of the available elements of John Denver's last song, "Yellowstone (Coming Home)." The first verse was written and videotaped during a trip down the Colorado River, the second verse was completed later on the same trip and videotaped by a campfire; and the third and final verse was completed and recorded after the trip, as a demo at John's home. This video combines all of these elements to create a more complete version of the song. To smooth out some of the transitions, I altered the pitch of one segment, added a touch of equalization in some spots, and sprinkled in a little reverb and double-tracking in one or two areas. The goal was to create one cohesive performance, but it's hard to do with such different sounding tapes.

    I think part of this was filmed on a rafting trip down the Colorado River. Can you imagine being in that group, just by happenstance? What a trip!

    Almost like he knew... I can't imagine how he would feel today if he were alive. With corporate and personal lasciviousness at an all time high. My Dad was born the same year as John Denver and I constantly have to help my dad understand what's going on when he doesn't understand the wickedness the world has come to. There are many things I simply don't tell him because he's better off not knowing.

    This is the perfect send off song for John Denver. He was in his element singing about the things he loved most once again, nature and all her glory. That section between 0:43 and 1:43 is just so bittersweet, sitting out in nature with his kids playing what would be his very last song around a campfire, he must have been elated and this being one of the last memory his kids would have of him, just wow...So surreal. R.I.P John, thanks for the music.

  • @randalcolucci6833
    @randalcolucci6833 3 роки тому

    It's a shame this was never recorded in a high end studio but in his home studio. Still, a beautiful tribute to my favorite singer-songwriter....yet he was so much more than that. A complicated and quite conflicted man, he cared, I believe too much for issues he badly wanted to change. Yet, in the end, he realized he was, as are we all in our modern world, inextricably linked with the problems we so surely want to solve. Suffering from bipolar disorder (imho as a physician), he self medicated w alcohol which never leads to a good outcome. I believe he was a spiritual man and I hope he is finally at peace and he is finally home.
