Ya pasaron 29 años desde que, en Groenlandia, a Tasiilaq*Angmagssalik* he escuchado gracias a mi amiga Rosa Bianco, hija de Arkaluk y Stella Bianco por la primera vez la canción de John Denver. Nunca puedo olvidar la paz de Angmagssalik, la puesta del sol que solo se escondía atrás de las montañas por aparecer otra vez y otra vez mas por 24 horas.
Cool,when i was just a we lad about 6 years old arond the ending of the vietnam War, the war had taken it's toll on some kid's,losing their dad's most likely,but mom's too,

There will never be another John Denver and definitely will never be a man who can sing like he did. Most beautiful music anyone can ever hear! He is one of a kind and will always be my favorite singer. I only wish I could have seen him live in person singing some of his most beautiful songs (all of them are beautiful)!
@1021Jean Yes in Concert he was Awesome ""AWESOME""" really he was ; saw him the last time he was in OklaHoma City ; a gift from my sweet wife ; It was the best !
this was my mothers favorite song, ill never forget the day i got the call... i was in florida,, she was in wisconsin and she said"son,, its time" she was dieing from cancer and she wanted to hear this song,,, i played it over the phone,,, 2 hours later she passed,,,4 ever luv mom,,, sunshine almost always makes me high,,,mmmwwahh mom
this things this man stood for....the things that he believed in...the things in life he represented and sang and preached about our more meaningful now then ever.....may his message and his music last forever....thank you John for everything you gave us....
The first time I heard this song was on a casset player, in Iraq 1986, now after all these years, I still remember how it felt the first time, as if time never passed at all.
John was my favorite male singer and in some ways still is. Love this song, it was playing all the time my first trip to Florida with my husband. Great memories!
@redfordforpresident belive it or not he wrote it in Northern Minnesota when he lived in edina for a few years during the first part of his first marrige he came to lutsen mn to go skining an was on the ski lift he had a ray of sunshine on his shoulders an could see lake superior the bigest freshwater lake in the US an thought how lovely it was an wrote this song i heard him say this in a inverwiew before he got killed it was on PBS on a show remembering him i live in northern minnesota

Classic <3 the teenagers these days don't appreciate this sort of music; it's pretty sad when u think about it... But to all those who do realize what an inspirational human being John Denver is and was, i cherish u
@ValdemarKjaerulf pretty song. im not having a funeral when i pass. im gonna be cremated and my ashes spred with my dogs ashes in kiabab forest arizona
My favorite John Denver song...I sing this for my mother all the time...and she says this song fits my personality....I would have to agree with mom....and this song makes me think of all the great times we share together. <3
my husband heard me singin this .... he was in a coma... this is a song that the person singing feels better and the person hearing it (even if they can not carry a tune in a basket) will hear the love always so sing it loud proud and ture always!
A dear friend of mine who died of Motor Neurones disease asked for this song at his funeral which was held on a dark December day. As his coffin left the church a ray of sunshine burst through the the window of the church right onto his coffin. The memory of that moment will live with me forever. As the owner of every JD cd ever issued I truly love this music supre nintendo!
...knocking on a closest door at 5am or so on a Sunday morning, a very pretty woman and her children with her answering the door looking so very much like a relative to John Denver but that buck had been struck by a car and it was "please could you call the police for me there's a deer over there trying to get up and it's legs are broken"...en I'm walking back home late gonna make it to my brother's wedding that day!...(with a few rednecks circling in their pickup truck yeah)
I have played this song to my rescue dogs for years when we were happy and also when I had to say goodbye tothem as they crossed the rainbow bridge and it is so very meaningful. thank you for your beautiful music.
How many of all the J.D. fans out there have purchased the superb 5 dvd box set which has been re-mastered and is brilliant. If you live in the U.K. try Amazon.
Why would I lie at the funeral of a dear friend? The song that he is singing is a prayer to non believers, come and stand beside me we can find a better way. (J.D.)
HE WAS THE COUNTRY BOY WHO WOULD PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE, HE WILL BE MISSED BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON.....WHILE STATIONED OUT IN FORT CARSON IN THE 1970'S, HIS MUSIC, A CASE OF COORS, BAG OF GOOD SMOKE, UP IN THE BROADMOORE MTS., AND A COUNTRY GIRL SHOWING UP WAS PLEASING. ONE NIGHT, WHILE WE WERE SNUGGING WE SAW THE FIRE IN THE SKY, JUST BEAUIFUL. i MISS THIS COUNTRY BOY, BUT HIS MUSIC LIVES ON. I THANK HIM DEARLY FOR ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH, I BECAME A MAN THAT NIGHT, GOD BLESS THAT COUNTRY GIRL.
@theycallmeblueyz My parents also sang me his songs to make me to be happy, to help me fall asleep, or to say goodbye before they left. His songs always comforted me and this is the tradition that I am eager to pass to my own children. They will grow up knowing his music and his messages, they will know the love that came from it that shaped my life and helped shape me into the person that I am today.
Amo essa canção desde criança,escutei mais 1.000 vezes e ainda escuto,linda muito linda.Parabéns John Denver fica com DEUS.Essa musica me acompanha desde muito tempo em varios momentos da minha vida.
Esta música me faz relembrar ótimos momentos da minha vida, eu tinha na época 14 anos. Curti muitas paixões. Valeu Jhon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel truly blessed to have seen Jonn live in concert five times including his last ever concert at the Royal Albert Hall in April 1997. I know that this was one of John's favourite places to sing at. He performed this concert entirely on his own without any backing band, and had the audience 'eating out of the palm of his hand'. R.I.P. John.
Growing up, I remember sitting in my dad's car singing this on the way to TJ's Big Boy... of all the songs... this has the fondest memory. John, you were and always will be the sunshine on our world. We are honored to have been blessed with your voice.
I have always loved him from the moment I heard his songs. If I had a blog that I could write for you. I will the blog is utubefavorites.blogspot.com come and read his life story as you listen to his sweat music. thank you john Denver for making me feel this way
This is my lullaby, my mother used to sing this to me every night. I'm still not over the beauty of this song, how sweet and joyful it is. I swear if a guy sang me this song I would just melt <3
Been listening to JD for as long as I can remember, both mum and dad used to play him all the time, it's the sort of thing you just can't let go.... The sort of music for a quiet night in with an open fire. Not the best voice in the world, but music from the heart and that makes a difference. A tragic loss. One of the reasons I'd love to visit Colorado and the Rockies though.
The sun is the giver of all awesome: Just look at Denver's hair. You think it was that beautiful before the aliens invented the sun? I don't think so kiddies.
Goosebumps. And tears of nostalgia to go along with it.....I'm just 23, yet I miss "those" days so much.......a testimony to how much the world has changed.
I ♥ this song! I barely remember the movie it's from "Sunshine". I was quite young when it aired on the tele. I just remember the movie was very sad and very touching and I remember this song from it. Many of you have said how John had feeling and emotion in his singing. I soooo agree. Please check out another musical artist who has emotion/puts his all into his originals and covers. Please search SamuellTV & sub if you like what you hear. Let me know what you think. He's amazing!
Long time back when i was a child there used to be an eye donation campaign in the indian national television..a little blind boy and his father playing beside the river.. and this song playing at the background. And then the camera would focus on the boy's dark glasses and everything would become dark..only the sound of the gurgling water and song of birds would be heard..that time it used to make me shiver to think how would a dark world without any light seem? I wanted to donate my eyes..
This song has never ceased to amaze me..the words are so unbelievably simple yet so eternally beautiful..anyone, anywhere in the world can listen to this and feel the same happiness, warmth and hope flooding over him/her.Golden barley, sunflowers, sparkling waters, green grass, laughter, and ..sunshine..sunshine..sunshine..
A dear friend of mine who died of Motor Neurones disease asked for this song at his funeral which was held on a dark December day. As his coffin left the church a ray of sunshine burst through the the window of the church right onto his coffin. The memory of that moment will live with me forever. As the owner of every JD cd ever issued I truly love this mans music.
Such a bittersweet story! I could tell you of the many years I serched for JD's "Whose Garden Was This" in vain. I tell the story in my blog (I suppose YT doesn't allow me to put the link here). Finally I tracked it in Japan and I ordered it. It arrived the very same day I heard of John Denver's death on the news. October 12 1998. I'll never forget the date.
@RAIN12FORD there are no such things as mistakes or coincidences in anyone's life, all things are meant to be and knowing this as true makes it easier for all of us to 'let go.'
@bhite41 God has a plan for all of us. Sometimes it's hard to accept. I thank God I'm still here every day. God bless. Love John Denver's music sooo much.
John Denver's songs and singing are like looking at a great painting..You can listen to him any time and he creates emotions that move you.

This is my lullaby, my mother used to sing this to me every night. I'm still not over the beauty of this song, how sweet and joyful it is. I swear if a guy sang me this song I would just melt <3

Been listening to JD for as long as I can remember, both mum and dad used to play him all the time, it's the sort of thing you just can't let go.... The sort of music for a quiet night in with an open fire. Not the best voice in the world, but music from the heart and that makes a difference. A tragic loss. One of the reasons I'd love to visit Colorado and the Rockies though.

The sun is the giver of all awesome: Just look at Denver's hair. You think it was that beautiful before the aliens invented the sun? I don't think so kiddies.

I ♥ this song! I barely remember the movie it's from "Sunshine". I was quite young when it aired on the tele. I just remember the movie was very sad and very touching and I remember this song from it. Many of you have said how John had feeling and emotion in his singing. I soooo agree. Please check out another musical artist who has emotion/puts his all into his originals and covers. Please search SamuellTV & sub if you like what you hear. Let me know what you think. He's amazing!

Long time back when i was a child there used to be an eye donation campaign in the indian national television..a little blind boy and his father playing beside the river.. and this song playing at the background. And then the camera would focus on the boy's dark glasses and everything would become dark..only the sound of the gurgling water and song of birds would be heard..that time it used to make me shiver to think how would a dark world without any light seem? I wanted to donate my eyes..

This song has never ceased to amaze me..the words are so unbelievably simple yet so eternally beautiful..anyone, anywhere in the world can listen to this and feel the same happiness, warmth and hope flooding over him/her.Golden barley, sunflowers, sparkling waters, green grass, laughter, and ..sunshine..sunshine..sunshine..

A dear friend of mine who died of Motor Neurones disease asked for this song at his funeral which was held on a dark December day. As his coffin left the church a ray of sunshine burst through the the window of the church right onto his coffin. The memory of that moment will live with me forever. As the owner of every JD cd ever issued I truly love this mans music.

Such a bittersweet story! I could tell you of the many years I serched for JD's "Whose Garden Was This" in vain. I tell the story in my blog (I suppose YT doesn't allow me to put the link here). Finally I tracked it in Japan and I ordered it. It arrived the very same day I heard of John Denver's death on the news. October 12 1998. I'll never forget the date.

@RAIN12FORD there are no such things as mistakes or coincidences in anyone's life, all things are meant to be and knowing this as true makes it easier for all of us to 'let go.'
