My husband of 37 years died in December. I held him in my arms as he took his last breath. I was by his side since his 20th birthday. This song melted me. It’s true. He filled up my senses and he is still loving me. I know I’m loving him.
❤
I welled up reading your comment 😢God Bless you you’re lucky to have had 37 years together 💗
I'm so sorry 🙏🥲❤️
What a love story. So sweet!
🙏 for you and your family and friends.
It's called folk music. He wrote this on a ski lift after he and his wife had an argument.
Thank you for saying what I was going to. Folk. Like Mama's and Papa's, Arlo Guthrie, others in the 60's before psychedelic rock joined into the mix.
Yes. And I love folk music and the singer songwriters that create it.
Then he cheated on her
@@Angel-rq3pi + Still a phenomenal song.
@@Angel-rq3pi Not immediately after writing it
John Denver is a painter but instead of paint he uses words to paint you a picture. It’s beautiful to listen to his words.
a wonderful artist.
Very nicely said.. he sure is ❤❤❤
You are so right.
In his way, better than Dylan in my opinion
Colorado sounds lovely.
You must do what is best for your girls and you.
It’s a crazy world
John D was so popular in the 1970s my fave decade
True Story - in 2005 - two women (strangers) were getting on an elevator in NYC. The elevator was playing a song - and the younger woman said to the older woman - "This is a really lovely song - do you know the name of it?" The older woman replied - "Yes - It's called Annie's Song. John Denver wrote it for me when we were married back in the early 70's."
😲😲😲😲
Wow
😮😮😮❤😮😮😮
And you left him.
@@katsterling8266 John was a huge star. Traveling around the world performing concerts for millions, as well as for environmental efforts, a TV show, a couple of movies. Like most in this type of life, he cheated. A lot. Although I do think he loved Annie deeply.
Annie was his wiife. He said they had an argument so he left to go skiing, he wrote this for her while on the ski lift. The rest is history
And they ended up divorcing not too long after. Still a great song.
He and Annie had a mad fight over his womanizing and heavy partying. He wrote this to get back on her good side, didn't really work. Very good film/biography on him.
@@jameshorton7496 This song was released in 1974. Annie and John divorced in 1982. So it wasn't "not too long after".
@@frankk8018 If you're talking about the movie staring Chad Lowe, take it with a grain of salt. That film was completely inaccurate. They didn't even come close to getting the timeline of events right and his family was apparently quite pissed off about the film. It did not portray him as he really was.
And kids these days can't understand why us Gen X will never accept 'hey shawty, shake your fat ass on my face' as being a romantic love song.
😆😆
indeed 😂
Baby boomers love him as well.
Best comment I've read in a long time 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Annie is his wife. I cry every time I hear this song. it touches my soul. This song is a classic. Blessings to you and yours
Ugh same here I just posted. Something about it just rips my heart open.. I cry every single time! So beautiful .
So sorry for your loss. Sad, yet beautiful and tender.
Annie WAS his wife.
Me too! It always brings me to tears.
John was famous for his environmental activism. One of his loveliest songs is called "Calypso" written about the famed underwater explorer Jacques Cousteau and his ship Calypso.
Love that song!
I love when his voice soars! “Calypso” is gorgeous, but my favorite is “The Eagle and the Hawk.”
You are likely tired of hearing it, but once again, another artist from our generation with no autotune, not lip synching, just playing his guitar and singing with a band backing him up, live. Remembering people like this is why music today does so little for most of our generation--the difference between something cooked from scratch vs a vending machine product.
I was listening to another guy that says most all music is now autotuned. So sad. I think it's wings of pegasus that does the comparisons. He did Willie Nelson and the Highwaymen the other day. Autotuned. Sigh.
@@lisdk1732 Wings of Pegasus may single handedly kill autotune. His comparisons are fantastic. And introducing people to the classic artists, like these reactions do - it shouldn't be much longer before kids want to hear real voices again. Both my teenage nephews are into vinyl record albums and love the old artists. There is hope!
John Denver was America’s troubadour.
John and James Taylor!
Don’t try to over think John Denver and his beautiful delicate vocals. His passion for nature and home resonate with every song. It is simply John Denver full stop.
I say that to many reactioners on YTube. Let the song carry you and don't overanalyze the lyrics. Enjoy the whole work of art....
@@sueprator9314So with you. You feel him in your heart a and soul.❤❤❤❤❤
Folk music, the best. No cursing, no raunchiness, just plain speak from the heart.
Exactly, miss this kind of music❤
If you want to hear his country side listen to “Thank God I’m a Country Boy “. Fun song.
😁Or Grandma's Feather Bed!😃
Oh yes!
@@julieCA58 oh yes!
Absolutely! I was about to suggest the same when I noticed your comment. It's definitely a fun song, too.
BP-Check out the live version of this with his "six million dollar band" from March 22, 1977. There's a suprise for you in there, BP ;-)
He has the clearest projection of his voice. He was a supreme songwriter and musician. It’s too bad he passed the way he did. He is so missed 😢❤RIP John Denver.
Saw John Denver in the 80"s, and when the intermission came in the concert..the band left the stage, and John stayed with his guitar...He sang songs through the break, and then was there when the band came back..finished the 2nd half of the concert.
He spoke and sang during that break time...and it was WONDERFUL!
Wow. That sounds soo good 👍🙏
I remember also seeing him in concert and did exactly that. What a performer.
Chris Isaak...same, in Austin late 90's. Bryan Ferry, same, same. Lindsay Buckingham, first FM tour back together, San Antonio Alamodome.... Never stopped playing his guitar and singing.
Similar experience with his concert except he didn't bother with the guitar. He sang a capella. Despite no flashes, no great light shoe, it was the best concert I have ever been to
@@badplay156 WOW:)
No “Auto tune”. Just pure talent.
Right on
John Denver is folk really, with an occasional foray into country. He’s a national treasure.
This was written by John Denver in 1974 for his wife at that time. He died in a plane crash in 1997.
"Rocky Mountain High" and "Sunshine On My Shoulders" are wonderful songs. They pull on the heartstrings. Also, cannot forget "Leaving On a Jetplane". John Denver was such an amazing singer. Much missed....❤
The song was about his wife.
He was a folk singer! Neither country, rock, or pop would claim him. He didn't need them, he had the fans!!! At 70, I saw him live numerous times and owned all his albums!
I was born in 1965. This song and so many other gems you have reacted to are the soundtrack of my life. I envy you that you are experiencing them for the FIRST TIME! Savor every bit of it. What joy! 🤩
This is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. My Dad loved listening to John Denver so I grew up hearing him constantly in our house. He didn't just have one style - listen to Grandma's Feather Bed for something completely different. John Denver was way ahead of his time. As early as the 1970s he was one of the biggest stars to voice concerns about climate changes, the environment and what we are doing to the planet. RIP JD
I second “Grandma’s Feather Bed” - such a fun song, and everyone always forgets about it !
Yes. And for me it’s, oddly, as emotional as Annie’s Song. I was number 17 of 19 grandchildren. In the 70’s and early 80’s we spend so much time at grandma’s house with the cousins, and we even sang this song a lot. But, obviously, my grandparents were older by the time I came along so I didn’t have them as long. This song always makes me smile.
And I also vote for Grandma, such wonderful memories it brings about my dad 😢
The words spoke to you because John Denver was a fine poet. Poetry speak to your feelings as well as your head.
John Denver’s voice is so clear and his vibrato is unmistakable
The Eagle and the Hawk was a great example of painting a picture with song.
LOVE that song.
I'd forgotten that song. Love it.
Always loved this song
I was in college when this hit and one of the girls that lived on my hall fought the line was "You fill up my senses like a night in the toilet!" She could not figure out why John Denver wood write such a lyric or why we thought that was such a romantic song! Poor child!
We lost John Denver WAY too soon. What a gift he had. We will never know the extraordinary things he might have done had he been permitted to live to be an old man. It's great to watch you discover this amazing talent. Thank you for reacting to him.
The Mandolin is what gives this song it's classical folk sound
"Calypso", "Paradise" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver are all worth a listen.
Agreed, all great tunes!
and on "Calypso", I recommend the video to see the ship which this song is about and the crew- This is the one ( Calypso John Denver Jacques Cousteau )
Forgot about "Calypso" - wonderful song - as said here, about Jacque Cousteau's crew/ship.
Calypso was one of my favorites
Don't forget "Sunshine on My Shoulders."
That is how a man woos a woman. John was a environmentalist a great lyricist musician and performer, he had been playing on the road for 2 decades by this show
Folk Music at its finest
When I met my husband, 46 years ago, he played his guitar and sang me John Denver songs. I fell madly in love with him.
The song Calypso was written in honor of Jacque Cousteau’s oceanic research ship. It’s a beautiful song. Jacque Cousteau was a oceanic researcher and is know for traveling the world studying the wild life of the world’s oceans. Jacque, along with a partner, developed the first open self contained under water breathing apprentice also known was the SCUBA.
Jacques Cousteau invented the AQUALUNG. Aka SCUBA-Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus’.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm really shocked at the music you've never heard!! My head is exploding! John Denver, one of the greatest folk singers ever! If you go down this rabbit hole, fair warning.... you will love his voice forever. I used to put my children to sleep to his greatest hits. Sunshine On My Shoulders worked so well t that my baby fell asleep getting a cast off her leg at a year old. She passed away at 1 year and 17 days. 37 years later it still brings tears, but it's such great song.
Oh I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious little daughter. No words can express the sadness felt in such an event, but you are in my prayers. God bless you always.
@@solitarybee3714 thank you so much. That's very nice of you. I miss her still, but I believe one day I'll see her again. XO
This was my wedding song, it’s so beautiful. Unfortunately I lost my husband to brain cancer last Christmas after 28 years. You’ve managed to have me bawling my eyes out but I still loved it Thankyou
My girlfriend died of brain cancer in June. I feel you😥
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😥💜
I’m so sorry
Sunshine On My Shoulder is another lovely song.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one, so many great tunes.
No matter how many times I hear this...I always tear up.
"CALYPSO" a beautiful song about boats, the sea and dolphins and the lessons they teach us.
If a person ever writes lyrics like this for you, you know it is the "real thing". There are very few love songs that are as vulnerable and as sincere as this.
Or You're My Best Friend
Johns, For You is up there with Annies Song
And then they divorced
@@conniedeshazo3031 Yes 10 years later
@@paulineh4019 and not the only one. He wasn’t a great guy.
Yes, Annie was his wife and he wrote it for her following an argument. After his death, Annie was asked in an interview what her favorite John Denver song was. She said that most people would assume it was Annie's Song, but she said her real favorite was "Perhaps Love." He recorded it as a duet with tenor Placido Domingo. If you really want your heart gently ripped from your chest, you should hear him sing his song "Seasons of the Heart," about their relationship falling apart.
Poems, Prayers and Promises. I LOVE that one
Me too!
One of my favorites!
Love!
John Denver songs you may like: "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", "Take Me Home Country Roads", "Calypso" and "Leaving On a Jet Plane". He plays the fiddle in Thank God I'm a Country Boy.
I might add another suggestion... later in his career, shortly before he died... more mature, more reflective... maybe a bit more melancholy... 'Some Days are Diamonds, Some Days are Stones"
One of the clearest vocalists!!
I love John. He was a military kid too. He was born in Roswell when his father was stationed there. Sunshine on my shoulder is another song with the same type of pace. Looking for something fun from him? Try Grandma's Featherbed. I'm glad you like him.
Since you are now the proud father of two baby girls, I think you should definitely react to Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance". It is just perfect for a girl dad.
Definitely!
That’s a WONDERFUL idea!!!! ❤
This song John wrote for his wife well on a ski trip after a big fight with his wife and when he came back from the trip he had the song of apology for her And it became one of his number one hit songs.
This song always gives me goosebumps like I'm having right now. One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sung. Songs like this will always be around.
John had such talent to write beautiful songs that transcend their time.
John Denver was actually a pilot and died testing out his brand new plane 😥. This song is about his wife and I must admit it’s not my nature to go for something this sweet but, like you, it grabs me. I’m 70 so I grew up with this along with Beatles, etc. He’s just an amazing artist gone too soon. 🌺✌️
This is pure poetic folk music sung by one of the greatest, purest vocal artists ever. IMHO.
John had incredible talents as a lyricist and 12 string guitar player.
He was technically a folk singer,but was mostly celebrated as a country artist. He probably had the purest voice of his generation. It was a great loss when he crashed his plane. He was also an accomplished pilot.
"Thank God I'm a Country Boy" is probably my favorite of his. "Leaving on a Jet Plane" is also a wonderful song,but makes me sad because of how he left us. Great reaction BP, keep it up.
I don’t think you meant it to be funny but you called him an accomplished pilot, right after you said he crashed his plane.🙄
Technically he's right, he was an accomplished pilot. The plane he crashed in was an experimental model that had design flaw. There's a channel on YT that talks about well known failed flights and what caused them. They covered the issue with the plane that failed John Denver. Well worth a watch.
@@hipsville I know! I watch a couple of those channels. I was just teasing him.
I think back in the 60s-70s when he was coming up it was the "Folk Music" scene... he was in the "Chad Mitchell Trio" for awhile...essentially an Vietnam protest group...then went solo and then obviously was a MEGA super star...
He was a huge part of the artists who provided an antidote to a public suffering from too much bad news.
One that was gone too soon. I love his music. What a soul. RIP John Denver. ♥️💖💜
A one of a kind artist. Best concert I ever went to. Three hours. Him, a guitar, in the round, a small venue. Amazing voice. I’m so lucky
Had a similar experience at the Cellar Door in Washington D.C. He was still pretty new so had a light audience. He invited us to stay for the second set. What an experience!
John was a likable guy. He was on TV alot in the 70's and even if you disliked Folk music, you liked him.
He crossed over to acting and had a hit movie or two.
John Denver had the most beautiful voice ❤
His style of music is folk music.
And not only can you hear every word as clear as a bell, it’s all so meaningful it stays with you.
Like you, BP, i lost my mother to cancer. I was 16 years old. As you know, it was devastating. Im 47 now, & it still affects me. I got married when i was 26 and this was our wedding song. Imagine how bitter sweet it was just a couple years ago when i was going thru my mom's record's and discovered "Annie's song" on 45 among the collection. It was like her way of letting me know she's always been there, even thou she's not. 😢😭🥲 Thank you BP. Sometimes we don't realize when we need a good cry. Sending love, always ❤
He flew up to the skies and never came back.
😢
I believe he was solo flying to Catalina and the plane ran out of fuel. So tragic...
Loved this song. It hard not to love any of his music. Every song he sang was so wonderful! RIP 🙏
In my opinion one of the most beautiful songs ever written 💓💓💓💓
Must continue with Denver. So many incredible songs. His voice is pure gold. Rocky Mountain High, Leaving on a Jet Plane, Country Roads, Calypso, Sunshine on My Shoulders, My Sweet Lady, etc etc Annie was his wife. ❤️❤️❤️
John’s wife is Annie. This song in the 70’s, was sung at EVERY wedding!
I've loved John Denver since the early 70s. I was devastated when he died. He was perfection. It still hurts my heart and soul that he left us so young.
That Vibrato is everything.
Nice and subtle, he doesn't over do it thank goodness.
I walked down the Aisle to Annie's Song, in my outdoor wedding, the words are so beautiful and made for that moment.
My uncle sang this song at my outdoor wedding in 1975....
If you want to be blown away by John Denver's voice and if it hasn't been suggested: "Calypso."
The message is very powerful, too.
His real name was Henry John Dutchendorf, Jr.
He hosted the very first MIDNIGHT SPECIAL . It truly was SPECIAL.
This was a love song to his first wife... his career was dedicated to preserving nature with his music before he died
Back in the 60's & 70's it was called folk music. John Denver did an outstanding job of everything he touched. It was always beautiful.
Loved John Denver, RIP 🙏. He died too young. This is one of my favorites that he did... Thank you for playing it. He sang and did the song for his wife Annie
Got to see John
three times in concert. He was perfect, always.
Annie was his wife.
He died so very young, and in one of those ways possibly preventable.
John Denver was a national treasure. Now, you must check out his song Calypso!!
Yes!!! I knew u would love this! It's one of my favorite songs by him! If u end up checking out more, listen to This Old Guitar! He tells a little story before he performs! And yes, this song was written for his first wife, Annie! There's actually a biopic about his life if u want to learn more about him! The movie is called "Take me home : The John Denver Story! Definitely worth a watch!
I just noticed he's playing a 12-string. Damn, what a treasure, lost too soon.
Indifference is actually the opposite of love.
One of the most beautiful love songs ever written ♥️
The studio version is even prettier... he holds his notes out longer and his voice is so pure...it's just magic.
Take Me Home Country Road is played in stadiums in the NFL and other sporting events. Everybody in the stadium sings along and bond together. Gives me chills every time.. So awesome!! ❤❤❤❤
“LET me give my love to you” Thats the difference between a simplistic love song lyric and this masterpiece. The biggest thing we can give to someone is ourselves. She’s so high on his pedestal that he’s asking her IF she will let him give his life to her….
So subtle but profound and deep when it’s broken down.
As always thanks for the great reactions!!!
Give an ear to "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders." Folk rock at its best when John Denver is playing.
John once said this was his favorite John Denver song to write..
GOD took him too soon.😇😭
For 30 years i always cry. THNX
My brothers and I met him. As kids, my brothers did gardening work for him, he was an amazing person. His voice is a sweet and sincere as his personality.
John Denver was the first concert I ever went to. I was 9. My parents took me. I still have the John Denver teddy bear and I'm 57.
I sent you a comment earlier today about this song, and I love that you are listening to this amazing love song!!!! I'm so happy you are enjoying it!! And that was live....
This was at the wildlife concert, he was also a great conservationist. He was a folk singer before everything.
His note holding would make an almost perfect Oscilloscope pattern. Wow!
Was able to see him twice live. Absolutely amazing to hear this with 20,000 people quietly singing along with him.
John Denver had the most relaxing voice and made you feel like going home or being home. America is such a wonderful place to be.
I was in Boston for my 30th birthday in 1997 and ended up at a bar called the Black Rose. They had a live band and John Denver was there. He got on stage and sang a few songs.
When I think of top vocalist, John Dever comes to mind along with the likes of Pavarotti and Roy Orbison. Just an amazing voice. RIP John Denver.
His live rendition of Thank God I’m a country boy is absolutely amazing
The balladeers of folk music are some of my favorites. A couple of the ones my mom introduced me to are: Peter, Paul and Mary and Judy Collins. There are many more those were the beautiful voices that first came to mind. Try 'Send in the Clowns' by Judy and one that John wrote 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' by Peter, Paul and Mary.
Poems, Prayers and Promises... You'll love it.
Nearly 27 years on we miss you John 😢
John wrote this so after he and his wife had just had a terrible argument. He went outside and regretted the whole thing. He sat down and poured his heart out trying to describe to Annie how he really felt about her. He’s literally sharing his soul to her … and us!
Annie was his wife. This hits 🎯 in the feels. YOU adore your wife and babies, this is about deep, ETRNAL LOVE.😊
He is a "Bard," a storyteller, an entertainment with a message.
It is "Folk Music 🎶" and it is a ballad.
"Homegrown Tomatoes 🍅!" Great song.
"Grandma's Feather Bed."
He was an activist for the environment, animals, and sea life.
"CALYPSO," is about his friendship with Jaques Cousteau, Oceanographer, conservationist.
And One of my faves, "HIGHER GROUND!" You will love it.
One of the most crystal clear and pure singing voices of all time
John Denver's music was incredible. When You start listening to his songs and realize that he wrote every single one of them, you will be in awe.
At 69 now I still believe the 70s had the best music of every kind. Still would like a reaction to Lady Sings The Blues by Billie Holiday! Great song and great movie!
