  • On this date in 1974 {Jan. 26th} 'Sunshine On My Shoulders' entered the Billboard's Top 100 chart, eventually it peaked at No. 1 {for 1 week} and spent a total of 18 weeks in the Top 100. John Denver's next released also peaked at No. 1 {Annie's Song}...

  • RIP Joe Paterno, you'll be greatly missed here in Happy Valley. Your legacy lives on! Enjoy the good life up there : )

  • @frazierfraaage listen...Joe Paterno turned a blind eye to the fact that Sandusky was raping little black boys from troubled homes. Real men would have beaten the living shit out of their "friend" if he was caught sodomizing vulnerable children. Paterno has a lot to explain before he enters those pearly gates. Pride is a deadly sin for a reason. I wonder if any of the kids Sandusky raped will be able to sing this song with pure happiness.

  • 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.

    Gracias por subir este video...Thanks

  • if the sun was on your shoulders, wouldn't it be hot as fuck?

  • If you ever dislike this video you are just being mean to the people that love this song and wished that they could hear it for ever! If you liked this video than you are not selfish but a very nice person that is truly human!

  • The age of innocence is over my friends!

  • this song just takes me back to a much happier time in my life and great memories that were made with my friends and that special lady that will always have a place in my heart

  • Why does a song like this which is so lovely, eminently joyful and uplifting just makes me want to cry buckets? Is it for all those precious moments gone but yet remembered? Or is it because I am nearer the end than the beginning? Whatever, it is such a beautiful, beautiful song.

  • 11th of the 11th month of year 2011 i listened to this, and thought, where did music like this go?

  • John Denver is my forever favorite country singer...I love you so much!

  • many wont remember this but this song goes with a movie from the 1970s called Sunshine was an awesome show about a little girl and her mother who was very sick.. i have looked on ebay an can find it no where..awesome movie and song..

  • I heard this song on the radio yesterday. Its one of those songs you kno your whole life, but you only here it once in a blue moon. It made think of my grandmother, she died in July '11. I miss her so much. R.I.P. Grandma. I love you so much.

  • @AnObsoleteMan I know just what you mean. Some song you've hear a million times can all of a sudden seem so haunting, especially after the death of a loved one. Sorry for your loss. My grandma died a year ago, and it's still quite a shock.

  • There is so much feeling in John Denver's songs. You can feel the emotion.

  • Beautiful

  • This song brings back memories for me of the Spring of 1974. March and April specifically. The long hard Winter over with. The freshness of the flowers and sunny blue skies in my area. Remember hearing this song often on the radios in the early Spring of 1974. Lord so many things still seemed so innocent and simpler back then for me personally in the early to mid 1970s.

  • Nice!  Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!

  • For years never never cared much for this JD song and grealty Loved others. But over the years this grew on me. I LOVE it now. D*MN....this man had some pipes and this song displays them to the fullest!!!! If you like JD, get his Rocky Mountian Collection cd set.

  • I love you mom, and I miss you so much

  • Im dedicating this song to my dear friend Aja. Love you girly. xox

  • @JRyanBrooks101 But at least 17 hundred people appreciate the light of day.

  • This is a tribute to my dad. I was no age when he introduced me to John Denver. This was his favourite and mine. He's no longer with me but i just have to hear the music and i feel he is beside me. When you lose someone who is your world music is the best comfort. I love you dad and miss you every day. Now and always.................

  • @dllh2012 My mother used to sing this to me as a child. She always called me her "Sunshine".  Sometimes, even through all the bad times that I had with her, I can still listen to this song and remember the good times. Peace, Mom!

  • @dllh2012 i remember the song as a small boy......In India's national TV it used to be shown with a similar montage of pictures but those pictures were of a father and his small son going out on a fishing trip and having a great time.....it was so beautiful and mesmerising that I remember it even now

  • the guitar track on this is so good, listen to how he picks and weavers those notes

  • me encanta esta cancion ojala y tuviese sibtitulos en español

  • To the 19 individuals who voted against this song as a dislike, you will never in your lifetime ever see a singer that did what this man did for our enviroment. He sang some of the most beautiful music ever made.

  • (':

    

  • im 14 and i hate how people chose to listen to lady gaga over this

  • I like this song.

  • so simple and simply beautiful and timeless

  • Whoops, I meant -3. Not -3. Srry darn typos!

  • I'm Only 13 but, when I was really little I listened to this song to fall asleep. Aside from that it makes me feel good bcuz my dads mom; my grandma, enjoyed John Denver. And she died long b4 I was ever born, so it makes me think of her, and I feel close to someone I've never physically met-3

  • I love this song. It brings back memories of time spent in the outdoors with my now deceased son.

  • 19 idiotas não gostaram do vídeo. Devem ser fãs de hip hop ou outras porcarias.

  • What! No autotune? No drum machine? No sythisizer? No "Rent a Homie" like Pitbull or 'Lil Wayne" rapping inbetween the verses. This would never get played on today's Top 40 radio!

  • John Denver was more than an artist, his music is poetry, and unlike the majority of artist today, he was actually quiet accomplished on the guitar. Life is too short, i really enjoy his music.

  • John's always been a great inspiration to me... When he was big he wasn't my #1 favorite, yet up there amongst my favorites... As I get older I realize what a gift he was.

  • Opps i forgot to say, The movie is basically about a diary she wrote to her child, with her advise about life !

  • this song is the soundtrack of a movie called SUNSHINE it was the true story of a 25yr old girl who was dying of cancer she was happily married and had a 5yr old daughter The movie is basically about her advice to her child about what to expect when her little girl went thru life at 10, 15 & 20yrs old ...... and beyond ! , Great movie and Great mother to her child (i saw the movie when i was a kid it made me cry so tragic I hope her kid turned out ok ..im sure she did )

  • Simplicity and pureness is enough to fill my heart, this song does just that. Thank you

  • I like this song....feel like peace in this world.....

  • Love this song. It always makes me cry. It was used in a 1974 movie called 'Sunshine ' about a women that is dying of cancer and she has a baby girl and makes tapes to her for when she is older and she won't be around. Gets me even after all these years.

  • This was the song I picked for the father daughter dance at my wedding. Makes tears come to my eyes every time I listen to it!

  • ugghh i had to listen to this in music class. worst 5 min of my lifeee!

  • @kks10101 i guess you are just ignorant then

  • @nick44495 no, it wasnt the song that was bad, it was my friend who just had to sing along with it. ( hes a horrible singer )

  • @kks10101 hehehe ok my bad. :)

  • @nick44495 its kool(:

  • @kks10101 I dont think you understand real music. Wait till you're get you own little revelation and you will know that "Sunshine on my shoulders" is sugar for the heart

  • @96mathias96 thanks for ur opinion, but i dont think i need u to tell me what i think. but thanks anyways

  • @kks10101 In the real world, sunshine on you shoulder ain't nothin' more than sunburn!

  • @Alikah1 ohh i kno the feeling

  • Wonderfullllllllll Song 

  • John Denver's clear tenor vocals and folksy-country pop style brimmed with sincerity and optimism. His songs are hymns about the glories of nature and the depths of human relationships. He wrote thoughtful songs of simpler pleasures and wide-eyed wonder about the people and this planet we call Home. .
  • Having a rough year this song still makes me happy. So does Cee LO Green's "FORGET YOU"

  • This beautiful song can't help but to cheer you up. I have had the loss of a loved one to deal with as well as some personal problems and it just makes me feel like a human again.

  • I lost the love of my life and soulmate 2 years ago in June. Last year in June I lost my Mom. Two months before she passed I had to put my 15 year old male Pomeranian to sleep. I'm struggling to find work, driving a 22 year old car thats about to die on me, soon I won't have a home either due to it belonged to my Mom and is in foreclosure. Somedays I don't feel like even getting up out of bed. But music and songs like this still help me to see the sun does still rise, and life goes on!!

  • I see this song telling the story of a man who sees the World as a blind man but feels the warmth of the sun in his soul. Feel and remember the words to this song for as you grow older you too will feel the warmth of the Sun

  • in the middle of all the chaos and confusion these days, there's nothing like a comforting song like this..as long as the sun still rises and i wake up to see it, everything will be fine. one day the Son of God will rise, and i KNOW everything will be okay =)

  • (cont) this song, I really feel all right. I still have my great-uncle, though he uses an iron lung and hasn't said a word to me in years. . .but all just floats away :)))<3<3<3

  • Every single person I had ever met dissapeared one day and left me to myself. . .years later I figured out that there had been a strange nuclear reaction to the particles in the air that day and they had grown mutations and were taken by the government. . .one day, my fifth brother escaped, but he was stabbed to death by a homeless man on the way home. . .eventually I found my dog, but he was just like a big, slimy limp of flesh, wriggling around all day. . .but when I listen to ( cont)

  • good times!!!

  • 17 people like rain.

  • my grandma and i used to listen to this and this song was playing when she died of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease rip grandma rama

  • This was my first John Denver song that I was aware of as a young lad! I knew I had to get to the music store and get this song, but landed up getting his greatest hits! I was hooked for life! This song brings so much joy and peace to my soul! John, I'm so sorry I never got to to see you live as you were one in billion! An absolutely inspiring man who could play and sing so brilliantly! Peace, BobbyK

  • My mom would sing this to me as a kid. I would always throw a fit and never want to go to bed but...When the singing started I drifted into the heaviest sleep I could imagine. This nearly brings tears to my eyes, it is indeed a beautiful song.
