    Lyrics:
    Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
    Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
    Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
    Sunshine almost always makes me high

    I called my son “sunshine” because of this song. My son passed away 10 years ago, there is never a day goes by without thinking of him, I miss him very much.

    It's so strange, but whenever I hear John Denver and his guitar, I swear I can smell fresh air, snow and pine trees. I like lots of different artists but no one else has given me this effect. Love his music.

      Maybe you (and @Patrick Ganz ) have a kind of clairsentience? I do too and seeing stories and news on TV makes me smell different corresponding smells before I know it. It’s very odd and a «gift» that makes no sense and has no use… SMH! ☺️

      Such a pure and beautiful song reflects the softer days of our lives. I wish my grandchildren could have just a little piece of the sweet life we all had in the 70s before our world had gotten so evil and mean. Breaks my heart they can't walk where we have.

    I had three brothers, the youngest (Mike) with Down Syndrome. Brother number two passed away this January 2023. Today my brother Mike came home singing this song. I played it for him and he sang along (of course only the few words he knows). At the end he told me that he loved me and said he missed his brother very much. I had not been able to cry, hearing Mike sing this song . . . the tears came like a river, meanwhile Mike holding me and assuring me that everything will be okay.

    I will never forget being at Disneyland on a hot day in a long serpentine line for one of the rides. Ten year old me in 1971 was feeling cranky. All of a sudden, a hippy in the line somewhere, with an Afro and a tenor voice in the line started singing “Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy….” That caused a lot of us to smile, and made standing in line seems shorter. it changed my attitude. I always think of that experience want to hear this song.

      It seems that because people are having to be home, and isolated, God has given us all this opportunity to find comfort and joy by listening to beautiful songs.. and actually taking time to really appreciate the true beauty they bring to our soul.

      Many songs don't sound as good live as they do in the studio because in the studio, they have ideal acoustics and are able to blend in music as well as do many takes until the recording is just right. This version of "Sunshine On My Shoulders" is better than any studio version. Love the flute. It was the highlight of "The Wildlife Concert" set of songs he did.

    Back in the 70’s I was a teenager wondering about where my life was going to take me, I listened to John, Simon ad Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Jame Taylor and the like. John’s songs always made me wonder what the world was like outside the Midwest, I dreamed of Colorado picturing in my mind what it would be like to live there. Because of a John I made it my life’s goal and 40 years later my beautiful wife and my two wonderful Children made it, we live in the mountains and John’s music is a big reason why. His music is timeless and changed who I was and am as a person. God bless John and thank you for being a part of the man I became.

    This song is so beautiful. When I first heard this masterpiece on the radio while I was driving to the country about 3 yrs ago. The sun was beaming through the trees onto the landscape, and to have this song come was just so right. I just had to come on YT to check out a live performance with John singing it. I was so richly rewarded by John’s wonderful live performance. John seems so peaceful and relaxed. The lyrics are simple but profound too. And the audience I can see is really into John’s performance, and they’re feeling it. John; gone to soon, but his beautiful legacy of his music will live on for generations to enjoy. RIP John Denver. 🙏🏾🇺🇸

Proof of the gifts and blessings we each are given, I could certainly see John’s gift. He had the whole mountain with people sitting on the beautiful green slopes there, feeling the peace that his voice brought. There will never be another one like him. I miss him very much.

    This world suffered a great loss when John passed. Such a gentle, kind soul. His music touches my heart in a way that only a few can. I wish he were still with us, I miss him.

    I lost my wife and daughter three years ago in a plane accident. My daughter who was 20 at the time learned to love and appreciate John like I did. I was able to introduce her to his music and she loved listening to him. Some evenings (like tonight), I sit here and play 6-8 of his songs and the tears simply flow. Who knows, maybe she has a chance to hear him play now. Love my sweet Rae and my wife Andrea.

    This song, always brings me joy when I am down. I love sitting on the dock listening to this song and the sun shining on my face and all the beautiful birds flying over me and around me. And the sun on the lakes and rivers are beautiful.

    I had the honor of seeing John 4 times throughout his amazing career, the first time in 1974 and the last time in 1994, less than two years before his passing. His influence on my Life, from taking the est Training, to loving the mountains, to becoming a professional musician myself, is something that continues to this very day. I Love you and I thank you John; you are forever in my heart. 🎶

    One of my favorite songs growing up. Times were so simply then. A day of sunshine was all we needed to bring a smile to a face. A good feeling. A safe feeling. Now with all the high tech out there many are still not satisfied. Be safe.

      Underrated? He was up there with ABBA, Olivia Newton John, Glen Campbell, and the Carpenters for crying out loud! Hardly underrated!

    Tbh I hadn't ever heard this song until 2 weeks ago, when I was sat organising my dad's funeral with my stepmother. It's such a lovely song, I can see why he loved it so much, there's still quite a wait for the actual funeral and I know I'm going to sob when I hear it. Jan. 2025

    I saw him in Sydney at the absolutely packed Entertainment Centre. The concert was called
    “A Man and his Guitar” he was totally solo. The most magic concert I’ve ever seen. You could have heard a pin drop. Love and miss him 🙏❤️

    I found my little 3-month-old daughter staring at me so quietly with tears in her eyes when I first sang this song to her, what a touching moment. She refused to listen to this song afterward, I guess it was too much feeling for a baby to understand.

    I lay next to my father as he passed ,then after giving him thanks for being such a great daddy I had this song come to me and I had to sing it to my daddy , I didn’t understand it but I had to sing it out loud , so I did I was surprised I knew all the lyrics my voice was beautiful, then I kissed my daddy on the forehead and told him I love him and I will miss him . My daughter came in and I told her about the song I had to sing I told her I was amazed I knew all the lyrics and I sang it beautifully she look on her phone at the lyrics sunshine on my shoulders and said mom I know the answer , it wasn’t you singing the song. It was grandpa singing the song to you. Ahhhh I cried and said yes it had to been. 💜
