To watch y'all is to remember moments of my life. A walk down memory lane. I love watching your reactions to music and artists that are new to you. You're both so respectful and you honor the great music you hear. Thank you.

    A symphony to nature by a man who took pleasure in what God gave.
    He was close to the natives.
    My greatest respect for his life's work.
    I am so sad that He was called home to the Creator on the way to His loved ones.
    Appreciate what nature gives to people. Don't trample on it, respect what has been given to you and treat nature with the dignity that She deserves.
    And you may have a fulfilling life with a clear conscience .
    RIP John Denver , fly high with the Eagles over your Loved Mountains

    I dare the two of you to explore his dark side in yet another of gorgeous songs, "Darcy Farrow". No one will dare to touch this song because 99% of John Denver fans only want to explore John's "light" side. I love John Denvers music. I lived in Denver from 76-80 and every chance the family had, we were up in the Rockies. I do have to say I love the German, Austrian and Swiss Alps just a little bit more (we lived in West Germany for 12 of of my childhood years and vacartioned in the Alps for a week to ten days every summer...

    You should check out John Denver's beautiful ballad called "Annie's Song," which he wrote about his first wife. It went to No. 1 on the U.S. pop charts in 1974. He also had a No. 2 hit in 1975 called "Calypso," a tribute song to French oceanographer-environmentalist-documentarian Jacques Cousteau and his crew aboard the research ship, the Calypso.

    If you want to hear one of his songs that makes you feel like you are on a small ship in the ocean, listen to "Calypso". It is one of my favorites and you will get to hear John yodel. He wrote this song in 1975 as a tribute to Jacques-Yves Cousteau and his research ship, the Calypso. As a kid I never missed a Jacques Cousteau TV special. His respect for the ocean and its sea life was very instructional. Denver and Cousteau became good friends and John even spent some time on one of his voyages. I think the live version from the Wildlife Concert is the best. Please take time to listen. Enjoy!

    John Denver has some wonderful songs, this one is gorgeous, but I still love Country Roads, definitely one of my favourites! Another great song of John Denver's is Annie's Song, written for his wife, in 1974, such a beautiful song, used to hear it everywhere, especially at weddings. Other great songs are Leaving on a Jet Plane (1966) and Sunshine on my Shoulders (1971). Thanks for another great reaction, guys, enjoyed it very much. Wow, not long now until you reach the big 50K! And it will be very well deserved, after all your hard work. Take care now, guys and keep safe. ❤👍

    John Denver was an amazing artist. His vocals soar. He is a story teller. The accoustic guitar takes you on a journey outdoors.
    I would compare how John Denver makes you feel with the way Karen Carpenter brings emotion to her songs.
    Both voices are captivating and can be melancholy.
    I would recommend:
    Thank God I'm A Country Boy
    Annie's Song
    Sunshine On My Shoulders
    Back Home Again
    Fly Away

    Hi Bro"s, great reaction, great song. John worked on that song for a few months, but couldn't find an intro for the song.
    Then one day the great Mike Taylor, one of the best acoustic guitar players in America was in John's band, as lead guitar player, anyway he showed John this fantastic guitar lick, and that is the opening part of the song. So it became the title of his then latest album, Rocky mountain high. Wonderful reaction guys, glad you enjoyed it. 👍

    Really liked and appreciated your reaction guys. I don't know if you are aware of facts that connect Rocky Mountain High and Take Me Home, Country Roads, both of which songs have been elevated to the status of a state songs since John's tragic death in 1997. Take Me Home, Country Roads is now a state song for West Virginia, and Rocky Mountain High is a state song for Colorado. With these two state songs John is now in an exclusive class of only two song writers with two state songs, Steven Foster in the 19th century and John in the 20th!

    Hey, you two...check this out. I was a teenager in the late 70's/early 80's. My music taste back then was so narrow you wouldn't believe it - listening only to a few bands like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and stuff like that. My sister discovered John Denver was coming to the Civic Center for a concert. She got tickets and dragged me there. I really, really didn't want to go. His stuff was just WAY WAY WAY too lame. But I did go. He played the 12, 000 seat arena, in the round. Guess what happened? From the very first chord of the first song he totally owned the room. It was FANTASTIC. Not only did he win my respect and admiration, but he showed me how narrow-minded I was, and I've never forgotten that lesson. What a true, true artist.
    One more to check out? Annie's Song. It's a great one by John Denver.

    You young man are doing a wonderful job. I am so appreciative of the fact that you're taking the time to look back in time. If you look around today, everybody's doing the same thing. Looking the same sounding the same and as you notice in these songs from the 60s 70s, some of them from the 80s. Everybody had their own unique way of singing. They weren't copying each other. They were doing their own unick thing and and you just can't. You can't beat that, and yes, you kids missed out on the 70s, big time, so 70s was really quite a time 80s. He's a more of a time growing up in the 60s. I had to wear white gloves be dressed curtsee. You name it. I had to learn different. Things sewing knitting, embroidery. Cooking because that's how things were for women. I was raised by my grandmother who was born in 19 0 2 and my grandfather. Keep up the good work. Oh, and oh brother where art thou man of sorrow I don't know. I can't remember the name of the people's names. But that's a movie you should watch if you haven't already

    One of the greatest love songs is by John Denver, called "Annie's Song." You guys MUST react to that one. Also, the great "Calypso," which is a true-life song about the oceanic science vessel, the Calypso, captained by the world-famous explorer, Jacque Cousteau, who brought the ocean to the masses through his exciting, popular, tv specials. ❤✌

    I'm so glad you discovered the wonderful music of John Denver. Some of my Denver favorites: "For Baby (for Bobbie)," "Looking for Space," "Matthew," "Goodbye Again," and "This Old Guitar." He also did a great cover of the John Prine tune "Paradise."

    I was waiting for you guys to get back to John Denver! So happy! (Someday, please listen to "This Old Guitar". No one ever reacts to it.... but it's so beautiful, especially when he tells the story at the beginning about losing his guitar.)

    John Denver takes you away, such a voice just so pure, he had several huge songs in the 70s, you guys would really dig Take me Home Country Roads, Annies Song, Calypso are some bangers

    I love how much you both just let the music take you away!! 🥰 John Denver was so special! He was one of the first country to pop crossover artists. I had the pleasure of seeing him live in concert, many years ago. He performed just as you might imagine; very simply, humble and genuine! Even though it was a sold out concert, the moment he began to sing the audience was silent! It felt like he was singing to just me. Beautiful! 🥰❤

    It thrills me that you guys appreciate John Denver so much. When I was in my 20's, nobody was bigger than him. There's no way to explain how loved he was. The day he died, I sobbed like a baby, then made my daughters, 12 & 13, sit down and listen to about every song he ever recorded. His pitch was perfect and clear, he enunciated beautifully, and he was a wonderful guitarist. His songs touched the heart in ways few people could. Try STARWOOD IN ASPEN next. His love for Colorado and nature in general are themes running through his best songs. "Talk to god and listen to the casual reply." Did anyone ever write a better line? You are doing such a great job on your channel.

    Such a great singer and songwriter, one the very best in the golden age of that genre in the 70's. I would strongly suggest you do my personal favorite by him, Annie's Song. It will transform you bros!

    OK, day, 2 going on watching UA-cam fella. John Denver, what a loss Linda ronstad. Just lover you get your doing good. Keep it up and you're letting the music play through. And then you discuss it, which is exactly how it should be done. Thank you again

    I grew up in Colorado and I lived and worked in Aspen Colorado for a while in the 80s and John Denver lived there as well. I saw him filming a Christmas Special tv show in Aspen and got to hear him sing too! It was fun! He is truly missed. Very talented.

    So unique.... The voice and overall sound. Nothing like it. I was born in the mid 70's so my parents played John Denver all the time. Leaving on a Jet plane was always played when my dad would leave on business trips. This is a great song. Love your reactions. Great to hear from a couple European bro's who are intelligent and appreciate good/great music. This is definitely GREAT music.

    Another classic song from John Denver! It is the State song for the state of Colorado! If you like the song of his voice in nostalgia, "Sunshine on my Shoulders" is a great song with amazing accompaniment! "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is another important John Denver song to listen to as it launched his career when Peter, Paul, and Mary covered it! My favorite John Denver song is "Poems, Prayers, and Promises!"

  • @seiraeiramasil2302

    Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (John Denver) was born to sing and fly (he died flying his plane off the Monterey, Califonria coast.) John was raised an Air Force brat! His dad, Lt. Col. Henry John Deutschendorf Sr. was one of America's foremost military test pilots.

    John was simply superb, he has quite a few songs like this.
    His anti-war duet with Russian singer Alexander Gradsky (Sasha) is phenomenal, and still incredibly relevant today. It’s called Let Us Begin (what are we making weapons for). ua-cam.com/video/SxYhqFOaqLA/v-deo.html
    Please react. Thanks 🙏🏻
    P.S. “Annie’s Song” is also something of a masterpiece.

    It's pretty remarkable that one guy recorded two songs that because the official songs of two different states in the USA.
    You should check out "Calypso". It was inspired by the famous oceonigrapher, Jacque Cousteau and his research ship, the Calypso. Back in the 60s and 70s we grew up watching Jacque Cousteau 's TV programs about the wonders of the oceans. (Cousteau invented the SCUBA gear!). Royalties from Denver's song were donated to Cousteau's ocean research, which makes the song even cooler
