Lyrics:
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high (in Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (in Colorado)

I got divorced at 27 and after several months of trying to figure my life out I took John's advice. I took a week off of work and hiked eight of Colorado's beautiful 14ers. I saw fire rain, I looked down on silver clouds below me, and I made a lot of awesome mountain friends. The man that I am today was born on that trip. My wife and kids are very grateful for the effect that this song had on me. Thank you Mr. Denver.
Hello how are you doing?
I have a similar story, being married and divorced 2x by 26 and I got a clue. The rest of my life has been fantastic. Going away and figuring yourself out is number one. We could probably have far fewer issues in this world if we worked on peoples issues
@@bhvgcfx459 The last line is so true . I implement in my own life
Good for you man cheers 👍
Why is every guy in the US named either Brad, Brandon or Peyton?
The World is a sadder place without this man. I imagine the songs we missed with his passing.
Sure is great we got the ones we do while he was here
his beutiful ,soul,music,is forever beutiful. He is in your heart always ,remember.
agreed
@Idiot Dodger accident, I'm sure.
But sad, sad for us..
@@SeigeOutdoors thank goodness
Everyone who reads this, we don't know each other and probably never will but I wish you all the best in life and all the luck in the world 💖
You to my friend. Amen
Same to you buddy
Right back at ya ❤
❤ALL THE GOOD LUCK IN THE WORLD❤RIGHT? IVE HAD MORE THEN ENOUGH BAD LUCK😢!!!! ❤GOD ❤BLESS ❤YOU❤AMEN❤!!!!!
I'm not American, but this song makes me proud to be American.
Lol
Long live a free America
What a wonderful thing to say.
I'm not ashamed to admit I damn near cry every time I hear John Denver.
I’m not crying you are 😭😅😂
You're not alone brother
Why would you be ashamed? I mean this is legend
This music was a huge part of my childhood, and I when I feel lost, I listen to the music of my past to remember where I came from... Music is the best gift my father has ever given me😊
yep me too
I'm a Brit who's never left Europe but John Denver makes me miss America.
Then I guess you'll have to make a trip to Colorado some day. I have never been to Colorado, but I would love to go there. I did go to West Virginia and lived there, and John Denver sang about it, as well:)
John Denver makes Americans who live in America miss America.

@@Bazza5000 make sure you pick the right part of Colorado I went there expecting alpine mountains but in Denver it’s more like desert land
I heard John Denver as a kid,and I'm still listening to him,and I'm 58
64 now ....same
Still at 70. Awsome, true and soulful.
Same!
@richardwilley5754 same here. My mum and my best friends' mum both loved John Denver and my friend (nearly 50 years on and we're still friends) and I love him too. I remember seeing him in concert when I was 7. Even at that age I loved him.
Grew up on it.... 44 now
I'm 27, I lost my job taking care of my kids instead of working. I have two beautiful twin baby boys. I had a dispute with my wife, now I'm homeless in Texas. I'm saving to go back. All I have is my truck, some clothes, and my dog's ashes. I got a thousand miles ahead of me soon. Wish me luck, boys. I'm going to see those mountains again.
Stay focussed on what is important sir. You have better days ahead. Life has a habit of sorting itself out.
@jamesgilhooly8922 still homeless, but I made it back to Colorado.
Hang in there, I was homeless in my twenties. I'm 62 now with a nice home and a great wife of 30 years. It's hard but you can turn it around. 👍🏻🇺🇲
Guys I made it back to CO and have a place. Never give up hope on yourself. Have humility and grace, Good things will find you. If you read this, I hope the best for you.
@@jackpotawhiskey614 🙏🙏🙏
What the world needs now more than ever is John Denver.
Yes I wish he was still alive😢
Ed Sheridan is probably close. However, John had so much life experience, better complete song writer as well as musician who understood chords subtleties and harmonies in his prime from 73-76 than Ed. But Ed had more guts to push the barriers of various genres than John who wanted to stay safe.
YESSSSSSS
John Denver, Jim Croce and Steve Irwin and this world would be beautiful again.
thats rigth
The more I listen to John Denver the more I realize that the world needs more of his music and LESS of nightly news.
spot on
right? Fox, cnn ALL OF THEM are killing our souls and making us hate each other. We were never like this before all that came to be.
he needs more music but he cant make more because he died i think
Amen brother
Agreed!!
it always amazes me when people say americans don't have culture. im american and live in europe, but i miss this feeling so much.
Best music in the world
The American people and culture are good and misunderstood.
Your politicians both Blue and Red for decades now have just robbed your beautiful country of almost everything. So sad really.
As a European I'd say don't listen too much to Europeans thinking too highly of themselves. I love American culture! America's problems are always under the world's magnifying glass and European newspapers for example love that, because it sells. But f*ck em, if I had my youth back I'd be leaving on a jet plane right now.
As a german-russian i have to say that i think citiziens get blamed too much for everything. There are a lot of people around the world that are very nice and some which are not. People tend to forget that and rather target an entire country. Ignoring the politics, I think the americans have created many great things from physical inventions to digital media.
For you young kids, no drums no bass, no auto tune, just some guitar and a steel, and a great talented singer/ songwriter
There is bass on this recording!!! Listen close and you will hear the beautiful bass!!
Regardless...rhythmic strumming drives the song
One man. One guitar. One microphone. Stand & deliver
No technology. No shortcuts!

He sung at my brothers wedding in 1994 at a Ski Resort in Boulder Colorado (My brothers wife's family had money and connections) and he was a man unlike many. He spent the entire day with us and it's a day I will never forget. He sang for us off and on for almost 10 hours into the evening. He returned the next day to go skiing with the wedding party as well.
Jesus loves u
Wonderful! ❤️
Wow!
You were blessed
Oh wow . That's awesome.. A memory to last forever! Lucky you!
" He was born in the summer of his 27th year, going home to a place he'd never been before". HOLY CRAP, what a line
I turned 27 in April 30th... And a week later my gf told my she is pregnant. Well, I'm going home to a place I'd never been before. And I am happy about it
Found out about DMT.
This line can speak to so many. I'm about to turn 27 this summer and buy my first house.. coming home to a place I never been before
Yep,quite agree.
Talk to God and listen to the casual reply........I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
What beautiful music!! They don't make music like this anymore.
Yeah, this was back when people needed to have talent in order to be famous and weren’t overratedly obsessed with using music for lame, political purposes.
Lana del rey does and she mentioned this singer in her song the grants
They Do Look Closer, U Just Have To Hunt Those Songs
I'm Korean and I'm 27 years old. Are the Rocky Mountains as beautiful as Mr. Denver sings about? It makes me want to go there.
Driving in the Western and Northwestern part of the United States is stunning .. his words in this song are so true, I hope you get to experience it .. 🙋♀️ 😊
I know what you mean-l’ve never been to the Rocky Mountains myself,but from what l’ve heard,they’re quite impressive.
Absolutely
Rocky Mountains are beautiful, as I lived in Breckenridge and Telluride in the 70s. Absolutely wonderful, and growing up with this song, and hearing it over and over again here in Switzerland, makes me totally proud to know what he was singing about.
Please go on UA-cam and watch some videos. It's so vast and the natural beauty just humbles your soul.
It's tough for kids today to understand what John Denver was to American culture in the 70s. The man was everywhere doing everything. Singing, songwriting, acting, producing, and he was pretty much universally loved, even by people who weren't fans of his kind of music.
I understand ._.
It's hard for elderly generations to understand how much John Denver's "Country Road" contributed to Gen Z meme culture.
@@HTV-2_Hypersonic_Glide_Vehicle I'm of the "elderly generation" and I dig John Denver. I cried when I heard he crashed into the Sea. Thank goodness the Mrs' and I attended his performance in the town I live in.
Sadly I was born to late to hear him sing
@@luckybrown2773 me too
i drove alone one night to see him in concert, wow he sure gave you more than your moneys worth, he was a warm man, like a friend.
Sad too say I was never able too see him in concert but real happy you was. Beautiful music from a beautiful man. I do mean inside beauty.
Give us more details about that night.
A true legend... country road...take me home...my wish during these tough times not seeing my loved ones in the UK for over 2 years and losing my beloved younger brother has been hard ...but music like this has been a great comfort...bless you all ...keep the faith 💞
@@paulineschmidhofer1602 Music is salve and poetry a balm , for the afflictions of this world when things go wrong - keep the faith , my sister 🙂
@@conniemcdonald1357Talk with God and listen to the casual reply.*
I was fortunate enough to have met John Denver twice. He sang me through some hard teenage years. I will always love him.
My mother was buried yesterday and for some reason, this morning, this song came to mind out of the blue. There was no reason for it - it wasn't one of her favourites, she didn't particularly like or dislike John Denver, nor do I, but the song kept looping in my head and wouldn't leave me alone.
Listening to the song started the tears again. There's something about John Denver's pure voice and solitary guitar accompaniment that reminds me so much of my mother's character- how she loved family, nature, embraced her faith. She was my rock and I feel adrift right now
I’m sorry for your loss. Hold yourself tightly and believe
That is such a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing. Your mother is with you forever in your heart and mind. I hope this brings you joy.
It hurts but heads up. Music is so emotive and for me sometimes you gotta turn it off . Rocky mountain high is a superb song but very melancholic.
My husband was killed on the job in 1979 at almost 27 yrs old. In Tucson. I buried him in Colorado where his family lived and we both loved. The first several lines of this song fit perfectly. We had a funeral in Tucson and I took my stereo and 8 track of this song and played it. Most didn't understand but my husband and I did. He was going home to God. We both loved John Denver and so did his mother.
It'll get easier with the passage of time honey. The breakdowns will lessen, and you'll smile again. Have faith, just like your mama did. ❤
he isnt dead, he is just travelling on country roads to the rocky mountains
right!!! take some more lsd!!

In an interview he was asked about spirituality or religion and I believe he said something along the lines of “I am never closer to god than I am right here in this seat.” Implying he was either always very close to god or he himself is god. I choose to believe the latter is the truth.
John Denver was so squeaky clean, that he was able to sing, "and everybody's high..." and still make it to primetime radio in the '70s.
I was born in 1965 and grew up with this great music. Nothing can replace the music from the 60's 70's and 80's.
I was born in 2005 and i couldnt agree more
makes me wish i didnt live in this stupid generation of people. the hippies ruined this country. I wish i was born before the 40s
Me,too bud. April 65. God bless
@@stevephillips8469 thank you. ive started smoking at 15 so i dont have to deal with stupidity. its a fun way to die really. enjoyable
Same here, Jim! June '65
Opening song to my 87 year old grandma's funeral. One of her favorite songs.
Its my request to have it played at my own. Im 53 so hopefully it wont be for awhile but its in my will.
I'm sure she enjoyed it.
I am turning 27 in 3 days. And this song has new meaning for me. I was born in Colorado. Every time i see those mountains I know I’d be a poor man if I never saw an eagle fly. And I’m glad I’ve lived through all the hardships to see those eagles fly.
I am as emotional now at 61 as I was at 13 , when I hear his music . Thank you, John Denver . ☀️You are pure sunshine ♥️🦅☀️
Yah.......I feel like SHEDDING HEALING DROPS OF DIAMONDS FROM THE LOOKING GLASS OF MY SPIRIT in this moment.
We are blessed
You sure has lived a lot of experiences 🤔 I very much like to hear them someday
Thank you for this comment, Suzanne.
I feel much the same way ✌️💕
With God
A man I took care of the last 5 years and I would listen to this CD daily. He just passed away this morning. Fly high Mr. B 💔😭
Sorry for your loss, Mo.
The only ones allowed into heaven are those who have confessed their sins to Jesus, asked Him to forgive them and for Him to save them and come into their lives. Put your faith in Jesus, He loves you. You must have a close relationship with Him to go to heaven, being a nice person isn't enough.
😥
I'm sorry honey
im sorry for your loss
Life would be a mistake without Music and Music would be incomplete with John Denver.
This is a song that I can listen to all day. Pure gold.
The 70s were very special
I believe there's a 10 hr loop video of it here on UA-cam 😂❤
As a native Coloradan, I can’t help but smile like mad whenever I hear John’s voice.
not a local but lived in denver last year. saw his shrine in redrocks. lots of energy around this music
Ayy another brother from Colorado
Yea great song but he's from New Mexico
I lived up west of Denver for a little while in the mountains but from Baton Rouge Louisiana and always listened to his stuff my parents like his stuff..
An Appalachian who has always cherished his Music and Talent!
His ashes were scattered in Rocky Mountains.
@Alice Nield Yea I heard the impact of hitting the water dismembered his body.
As it should be
Really?
@@taylortripp8598 So, on a clear day you can see parts of Denver from that location?
@Alice Nield He didn't die in a jet crash. He died flying an experimental prop plane.
Love to listen to John Denver because I connect with my twin brother who left this earthy side at the age of 24 . I’m now 72 And miss him every day …
For my money, the greatest song ever written.
For some reason, your comment made me cry.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JOHN DENVER
Unfortunately if John Denver was around today,he wouldn't stand a chance.
How aweful

ya, because today having talent is a bad thing

R.I.P.: John Denver.
He may be dead, but his music will live forever in our hearts!
I always like to here John Denver songs got some great hits one thing for sure he will always be with us through his music
@Trevor Newton what an accomplishment, what did you get out of saying that?
Or atleast live on through you tube...
Amen to that
Jiltedin2007 we will alway remember him 😔
This man had a soul he didn't sell it you can hear it and feel it. Rest in peace John you were one of the few good ones ,I hope I'll see up in home day.
Amen
I wish he had wrote a song about my island. The island sits on the equator.
My grandmother home is on a mountain. I visited her as a young man. I thought my home in New York City was spectacular with lights.
Then I saw the lights of god, in the Caribbean. Looking up at the billions of stars against the jet black of the universe could only be correctly described by John Denver. Gods work is truly amazing!
You write it then, you have the power.
I was 12 yrs old in 1978 and heard he was in the bar at the Howard Johnson’s we were staying at in Rapid so I immediately went in to say hi. He was so kind and sweet. We talked for about 20 minutes about everything you can think of and he bought me a lemonade. Fly high my friend. 😘
You must be referring to Rapid City SD, and the Howard Johnson's off Lacrosse Street near I-90. I know it well.
@dawn
reading that made me smile huge
This was my grandfathers favorite song. He passed yesterday, November 23,2018 at 2:45 Mountain Time. In Englewood Co
My condolences
Jay Clover I sorry for your loss. 😔
Leonard T.Hoffman he did. Thank you ❤️
Jay Clover I : He had very good taste in music! I'm so sorry for your loss. We may be strangers, but the pain that comes from a loved one passing away is a bond we all share. For that reason, I hope you don't find me too forward in extending all my sympathies, a hug 🤗 and love ❤️. I wish for you fond memories to carry with you always, wisdom he passed on to you that you may pass on to others in his honor & for time to ease & heal your pain. 💞
Sincerest condolences ~Jenny
Jennifer Boyd thank you Jenny! ❤️
this song is dedicated to my boyfriend, of two years. We started long distance a year ago, when he had to move to Colorado. I got to visit him only once. and every time I hear this song, I can’t help but remember all of the memories we made in Denver. Alex if your seeing this you are my rock and thank you for never giving up on us. ❤️
70s in Miami
Still together?
One of the best songs ever written.
It was a sunny afternoon in 1974..I was an 8 year old boy playing with my lovely grandpapa in the verandah..the radio was on..we were listening this very song and were happily playing...today, after years and years, I am listening to this very song sitting alone in the very same verandah..I see the sunshine and remember the happy times I spent with my grandpa...I miss you..
That's a great memory!
@@wendellthornton8887 oh ya it is...Thank you..!
Damn can't. Add to that
You'll see him again.
That's the beauty of music, and to me, especially John Denver's music. It will absolutely transport you back in time to the most beautiful memories, treasured moments of your life, that maybe didn't seem like much at the time, but now have deep meaning. John is truly missed. The soundtrack of my childhood, growing up in the foothills of the Rockies.
thank you for sharing your beautiful memory.

IKR This song reminds me of a SAINT of a woman, she was a force of nature that would strum this song along with Country Roads at Borders in Waldorf MD faithfully once a month on Open Mic night. Dora Bankins-Bush. She was a lawyer, a devout Catholic, the first Black Woman to attend the Naval Academy, an EXCELLENT mother and aunt, a guiding force in the life of so many, and the BIGGEST John Denver fan in the world. Truly a heart of gold (she loved herself some Neil too, lol) RIP Dora
R.I.P to the people of Flight 108! (if ykyk) also what a great song love me some John denver
I remember when this song came out. It's a masterpiece the way it still touches my soul. My husband has passed, and many wonderful people we'd meet camping, driving for days down the coast, people were more friendly and down to earth. When I hear kids say it's 2023, I say I know, and I feel bad for you.
Yes, John Denver was a true nature lover also. I think of his songs when hiking.
Same here!
This makes me so nostalgic for a life I've never lived and probably never will.
Your statement is so strong, beautiful, and prophetic all at once. Thank you for putting life in perspective in 2018.
In one side i wish that i wa sborn near this time with a aware mind but on the ither hand i woukd have been dead before any great technological envancements
I’m so glad to hear that I’m not the only person who feels this way. I love 70s music. It takes me back to a place I’ve never been. Heart sickness for simpler times.
I guess we are destined to live and die as city slickers.Unless you want it real bad,it won't happen.
@@leslie4046 I know what you mean--I feel that "heart sickness", too. But those times weren't really simpler. The, um, *complex* end of Vietnam, the Watergate scandal, the Arab oil embargo, inflation--the '70s were "the best and worst of times" in a way other times since then weren't. The difference is that (despite prevailing narratives) we still generally thought things would work out in the end. (And by "working out in the end", I don't mean Reagan, much less Trump.) *That*, to me, is what lots of '70s music symbolizes. (I'm still waiting, but it doesn't look good. It'll work out for somebody, but maybe not me.)
I can’t listen to this song without crying. My mother passed away at the end of March. She played this and many other John Denver songs when I was growing up. I miss her Today is my first Mother’s Day without her.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss I lost my mom 2012. It gets easier but you never forget them.
It's a tough time..may GOD gives u the strength ❤️
I am so sorry, Shanta. I hope time helps heal part of your pain. There is nothing like losing a parent. I am in the same boat. I cry every time I listen to this song because it was my late mom’s favorite.
I'm so sorry 😔..
Chin up, I know it's hard, but you will see her again one day. 🤗
Go Stars!!!!
We all need some rocky mountain high it's a beautiful song
He just sings about pure and natural things, he makes you feel the places and ppl he sings about, you can’t listen to him without feeling the music in your heart. Rest In Peace John.
P.S. My ex wife’s friend was at an airport lounge waiting on her plane when JD walked in saw she had a guitar and started talking with her, he showed her some chords and actually played her guitar. He didn’t have to do that but that’s who he was.
My nephew Rhett moved to Denver from Tampa and I told him to sing Rocky Mountain High as he crossed the Colorado Border. We still miss John Denver.❤
@@gailscott262 awe that’s cool, I hope he did it. 😊
Legend
Timeless vocals, pure and natural ✨
no he doesnt
Who’s still listening to amazing John Denver in 2024?
Me too!
Me and my boys age 5 & 8 keeping Johns music alive
A buddy and i hit Colorado on a hiking binge in may. Col. Nat. Monument by grand junction, Aspen, Vail. rocky mt nat park. Saw a memorial for John with lyrics of rocky mountain high and catch myself singing it when hiking back east. Miss it, as i know that there still is COUNTLESS places still to view!
my daughter and I
I'll listen to John Denver for the rest of my life and do it very proudly!
Great song.
RIP John.
Yes
This to me is the most beautiful, heartfelt song ever. I can’t listen to it without thinking about the people I’ve hurt and let down in my life, and the need to reach out to every single one to say I’m so very sorry, would you please forgive me. It also causes me to forgive anyone that has hurt me or let me down.
We are all human and make bad mistakes. But if Jesus can forgive a sinner like me, I can forgive anyone who has wronged me. Thank you Lord for this wonderful song.
He may have had a wonderful voice, and was a great guitar player, but his best skill and asset was optimism. He talked about love and appreciation for life and nature, when the world really needed it, and thankfully his music remains. We lost a friend, but we keep the memory.
Jimmy James that was a beautiful statement.
Beautifully said. He is missed.
Well said
This song is keeping me happy through the pandemic. I’m looking foreword to summer when hopefully it will be safe to visit the mountains again
AMEN
Dear John. You would never understand our country today. You passed in a golden time. Golden because of you. I love this song.
Hello, how are you doing?
RIP John Denver (December 31, 1943 - October 12, 1997), aged 53
You will be remembered as a legend.
One of the deepest songs you'll ever hear. A true brother of humanity.
I live in Europe. My dream is to travel in USA. I want to see from near the Mississipi river, the Great Lakes and Rocky Mountains.
Chris G.k .... Add on the Grand Canyon and Giant Redwoods.
Chris if I Where u, I would go to Montana, I went there in July of last summer & when we landed I was speechless on how it looked so beautiful, w/ the Rocky Mountains & the clear blue water. Pictures don’t do justice....
I respect totally the Colorado natural beauties. But when i listen that song i imagine some places who i want to visit in USA. My thoughts -and the comments belong to me .
it really isnt that amazing of a place. So many better destinations you could travel...but if you must see those places. Go for it. dont let anything stand in your way
There is plenty of good places, plenty of bad as well. For a place to be good you have to have ties to it. Experiences that make the place mean something. Colorado is not that place for me. It is a barren rocky place that holds little feelings. The rocks are cold and unforgiving. Don't say something is the only good thing if there is anyone that could see that as false. Next time give a reason why it is the only good place. Don't just say that it is.
That way you do not come off as rude or hostile.
Anybody in favor of making this Colorado's official song
C. Curry It already is one of Colorado’s official state songs.
When your dumb, UA-cam-comment-tier idea has actually already written into law.
Wish granted;)
It is lmfao
Well, duh, it already is! The airport in Denver even has an exhibit to the memory of John Denver.
Colorado state song should be Rocky Mountain High . A beautiful song for beautiful mountains.
One of the most talented, and a voice to die for...never be another one like him.
And he did
Everybody gangsta till this starts playing at the airport
Shit
Oh heck nah
Oof
@Davide Oliva lmao
Final Destination reference
It doesn't matter how you got here, you deserve to enjoy this song as much as I do, welcome everyone...
This is the kind of wholesome comment that is missing from UA-cam. Thanks.
Amen
I just appreciate that more and more people are listening to this kind of music.
beautifully said about a beautiful guy - thanks. . .
At 27 I got busted dealing drugs, i know, stupid. After dealing with all that i took off to see my grandparents who lived in Ft Collins Colorado. I usually took I80 through Wyoming then dropped into Collins but this time i went through I70 for the first time, WOW! This song touches me as its such an accurate reflection of my life, a new beginning and in a place that i feel at home. I now ride these mountains a few times a year on 2 wheels taking in the sights and smells and I always seem to see new beauty in those mountains and relive "coming home" each time. Thanks John for the music, may you RIP.
Good luck man!
John's life was simply cut way too short. Thank goodness for the remaining times I can enjoy forever like this one.
Yeah
Pay no attention to how many dislikes this song has. That my friends is their loss. Instead enjoy this wonderful, sweet, pure, heartfelt music that this awesome man has blessed us with.
+Adrian Miller The people who hit the dislike button thought it was the same thing as the like button. They got too caught up in the music.
+Adrian Miller the likes far out weigh the dislikes. I'm one of the likes. I've always loved his music
wow you are right, who would dislike great music
+Adrian Miller you got that right..
+Adrian Miller awesome meaning. words and soul. If you are into One direction, Beiber than your demented mental function has to fire those neurons and inevitable down-vote this song you cant help yourself and neither can anyone else help you. Maybe one day just maybe it will come to you.
How can you not like this song? such an amazing song, can feel the rocky mountains and cool air blowing every-time i hear this sweet tune
Are you Swedish-American?
Me, too! Those mountains will always be in my heart!
좋아요
only time seen mountains from airplane, whats it like sking on those big mountains?
yes
With this song i remember my first trip to Denver Colorado with my sister on 2022, we rent a car and drove to winter park, the mountains views are more than beatiful it was on december and the snow gave the mountains an extra beatiful view. im glad and thankful with god for the opportunity to know the beauty of many other places with my sister.
Yes they are .don't let man change those Rockies for your generation.keep it protected.
He was so refreshingly dorky and unconcerned about being "cool". It's hard to imagine a performer like him getting any traction in the 21st century.
That is true
While I see what you mean, real talent and drive to tour and you will get traction. Most people who have the cool thing down, don't have half the talent or timelessness of John Denver.
He was such a decent guy and people back then responded to just plain decency. Sad that is no longer the case.
I think you are wrong. Talent like this would rise to the top of any time period.
Except for the whole wife-strangling part.
But aside from his cheating and domestic abuse, he was definitely a pioneer when it comes to environmentalism.
When I heard his song "Calypso" at the age of nine, it made me want to be a marine biologist.
The most beautiful music ever created or will ever be created came from this man.
This man.
This man's songs are the solution to world peace.
I don't know about anyone else, but his songs always make me happy and feel calm.
just like john lennon and he died too
Dont forgot God he can give you peace that surpasses all.
He was a folk singer but incorporated country into his music
forget the rap crap and heavy metal,this is where its at..
Hear Imagine - John Lennon...
We did not need antidepressants back then. We had all these great songs that made you feel better.
Brooke Hanley Yes cause I can't listen to this song now...
Best UA-cam comment I ever read
And you know, actual friends around a real campfire to support you. Not just impersonal discussions on social media websites.
My husband died two years ago. We drove OTR for FedEx. Although our route back to MN from CA did NOT take us through I-70, he looked at me and said, "I don't like driving through the mountains, but I will do this for you! You will NEVER FORGET what you see!" and true to his word, he did...and the majesty is so beautiful of those mountains!!! RIP, Robbie, always and forever, I love you...I have not forgotten.
RIP also, John Denver...and thank you.
@@dianebaum91 OMG this song takes me back to a better time a wan in my life. Where is that time machine? LOL there are those day"s I need the music, and on the other days, I need the lyrics!!
Ypur story is so beautiful. My dad moved to Colorado from Florida in 1977. Thank you john. I grew up in the Colorado mountains because of you. Love your music John because of this song.
I live here with my hubby now
When you have never met him but he still feels like your homie.
John was an asshole...if you really knew him
@@danarosesturgeon then why listen to him?
@@sootymode3453 you dont listen to spesific music because who it's composer/writer was as a person, you listen to it because it make you feel something. even hitler was a painter, and if you'll see something that he paint without knowing it, you still might appriciate the art. because its art, and it make you feel things, and it has nothing to do with who the person behind the art is.
@@eranhagai9291 I agree with you because Mozart was an alcoholic and yet his masterpieces of the piano were created by him alone. You don't judge a singer, instrument player, or musician or anyone else by their personality or at all because what they did was what they wanted to do and they did it to their very best and so if you can hear or see the emotion in what they did that is enough proof of how hard they tried and that is what you should judge by, did they try and put emotion into what they did.
Dallas Stars are blaring this out of their locker room after beating the Avs in Game 6 in double overtime lol
Music knows no time. Good is good.
leaving for Colorado in 3 days. This song will be played constantly
Cheers from Colorado.
Thanks man, leaving today!
+Isaac Ross. hello
I left Colorado almost 10 years ago.... and I still miss the mountains, the snow, all that color on the fall.... I know how you feel....
It's dry as fuck here
Frank Sinatra once said John Denver had the most amazing voice he had heard.
That's a lot coming from Frank Sinatra. I agree as well.
He did have an amazing voice. Right up there with Karen Carpenter.
Frank also said John D was a songs best friend.
John Denver's songs - particularly Rocky Mountain High and Country Roads - still bring tears to my eyes. I lived in Vail, CO for a number of years and these songs were ANTHEMS. Whenever one of these songs would come on, wherever it was being played, everyone within earshot, and I mean EVERYONE, would sing along. It was a different time back then, but it was not so long ago. Sometimes, they'd be played from a speaker at a shop, into the street. To be with people singing his music walking down the street, with such feeling..... incomparable. What happened to us?
Hello 👋 how are you doing today
Well said@😢
No one can afford Vail anymore. That's part of it. Who wants to see Gates, Bezos and Musk singing Rocky Mountain High anyway.
It was another world wasn't it pam, unfortunately
Absolutely! I live near Estes Park Colorado, same happens there!
You press play on your Walkman, and walk out of the Denver International Airport baggage claim onto the taxi deck. You see the shades of morning light on the mountains far away, and sit on a bench and listen and cry. It is quite some time before you decide to get in a taxi.
I met him in Aspen. He was a very special man to me.....still is. Sometimes I can hear him singing, and laughing. He comforts me.
+Laurie Marinelli Oh yeah....Thank You John. It's nice seeing ya.
+Laurie Marinelli u met him?
Yes I did. He was such a gentle spirit...
Laurie Marinelli ya
+Laurie Marinelli , the real deal he was, eviromentalist an loved nature an all animals
“He lost a friend but kept the memory.”
We all have lost a friend named John Denver. We will always remember you for you beautiful music.
Love you John thank you for being you. Rest in peace. You will be missed
Hi Caryn how are you?
Me and my dad and two uncles would going fishing during the spring and summer months and listened to 79's and 80's music my oldest uncle died in November 2007 and my other uncle died only 4 months later I still listen to old 70s and 80's music.
As a man of color who landed on this song by accident, I am shocked as to what I've been missing...so beautiful.
I am a man of color too, white and I have listened to this since I heard it on the radio when it was new. Welcome to the world of JD!!!
I couldn't give these comments enough Likes...

It's some very poetic music. With actual instruments. Definitely good stuff, man
music knows no race brother,what is beautiful remains beautiful to us all.
RIP the wonderful John Denver. At least we have the music.
I will never forget seeing him in concert in Seattle. A big highlight of my life.
Hello!!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan? Have a great day... Stay Safe
I was born at the right time. Music was great and I experienced every generation. Now I'm old and things get sad. My body aches and life lost it's magic. I listen to the music I love so much. My mind drifts to times .I was young and enjoyed living. And I give myself a hugs and a sigh. Feel sad for those that missed the greatest times.
Hi Cj how are youv
@@morrisd7135 I'm good thank you.
@@CJ-hc9ud good to know so where do you live And how is the weather condition over there?
Well said. I loved the sixties and seventies music. It really did help make me who I became. But I also am glad to live now when so much music is available - like bollywood and k-pop. We really have experienced so much incredible music of life.
Happines.i will pray for you
What a great man, he will never be forgotten
What a unique, pure, clean, uplifting voice. More proof that America does NOT suck. He is also a very gifted acoustic guitar player. John did not lip sync during live concerts
@Edward Martinez Why are you bringing politics to a peaceful song. Fuck you man.
@@owenwilkinson3949 Exactly.
@Edward Martinez my prayers for your downtrodden spirit.
The USA doesn’t suck. The scum called non-John Denver listeners haven’t listened to John and they need their fix. They just don’t know that
those who don't yet understand what a fabulous guitar player John Denver was, should just try to play one of his songs!
One of a kind, a great American!
This is a precious gift. Thank you John.
My dad killed himself May first 2022. I played this at his memorial. I said. " I'm feeling a whole lot of ways all at the same time, but I do know my dad really fucking liked John Denver."
He would have liked that.
Miss you dad. Wish I'd been able to talk to you one last time.
Hi Owen how are you?
My condolences for losing your dad.
Wonder why this was overshadowed by Country Roads, it's as equally good
I just don't get it.
What a great man, he will never be forgotten
Copied comment
Country Roads got popular lately cuz of the memes
They're both popular
Country roads has more of story closer to emotions of going back home and the music flows
Fallout 76 and memes
Had to look after 2 of my granddaughters recently 5 and 7, they normally listen to all the modern stuff that I can't stand. They were colouring in their books and I put this song on, within 10 sec they stopped what they were doing and came and sat next to me and list without saying a word. At the end the 7 year old said " oh poppy I really like that song can you play it again" brought a tear to my eye, haha good music never dies.
I’m a ginger but damn that touched my soul
There's something just about this song that gets in your soul that made me cry I'm listening to this right now I live in Arizona it reminds me of being a small child 1971.
@@rougeyfoog243 what soul?
real legend
Made my day honestly :)
John was in a class all by himself.
2:33- If that’s not lyricism to perfection, I don’t know what it is.
My God... I still listen to this song over and over all these years later...
@keith James.
Listening to this Brilliant
Masterpiece 🙏💪🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶
To think Mr Denver would be 73 this year if he had lived and probably would have still be preforming too. Great artist who died before his time.
this comment made me cry!
+Hannah Phillips I was driving along Silas Creek Parkway in Winston-Salem when the news came over the radio of the tragic loss of this great performer. It hit me hard, thinking that all we would have was what he had already done.
So true, he was taken from us too soon !!!
He died when he was 80 not 73 my dad knew him
+Natasha FGN he died at age 53 and if he had lived he would be 73, he died in a aeroplane crash
The lyrics alone...this song is just poetry.
Simply, and perfectly said
