John Denver- Farewell Andromeda (Welcome to My Morning)

[attilaclark]

I wonder if he changed his name to Denver or just a strange coincidence.

[qantas40]

@attilaclark

Yes he did. his real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr

[zequelll]

everytime i hear this song i think of the girl from the north i met named Sandy and how pleasant she was.

@Noeladishi - SPIRIT - Apollo taught me to rhyme

Orpheus taught me to play

Andromeda cast down her sign

And vega lights my way

[dimiballas]

@olrdad This comment is incredible!!

[jeansNchucks]

JOHN DENVER UR D BEST COUNTRY FOLK SINGER!

UR SONGS WILL ALWAYS BE PLAYED AND REMEMBERED....

[medtrans9]

I love both the original right here and the Evening with John Denver version.

[stephen614]

It is the original...it sounds exactly like JD! I just played the record on my stereo...a first in a long time!

[SgtGuNshot]

this isnt the original , it dosent even sound like its John singing

[1bol390]

I believe the same Artist who did this cover also did the awesome inside cover of "I want to live" (Mark English)

[DullMirror]

Wunderbar!

[flickerbrightly]

Agreed, and to me the key to this song really is "I made it just this way..." Its about each of us choosing every day to see the beauty. John was good at that.

[scentmuse]

in spite of every destructive, hurtful thing we've done, it sounds to me like, if the earth could sing a song, she might have sung this for us. imagine gaia doin' that and john, naturally, her emissary. 'and it pleases me to have you here for just a little while'. does anyone know just how alive our earth mother is? the nice thing about a song with meaningful lyrics is everyone gets to interpret it however it please them.

[nixthetiger]

I always loved the artwork on the Farewell Andromeda LP cover. Kind of miss that. Sing, Henry.

[marksoutof10]

OK, admit it: How many people arriving at this page of search results were looking for the Monty Python skit?

[Melda31]

lol ok ok I admit it :P

[marksoutof10]

Oh, get a sense of humour, you miserable fuckers who marked my comment down. It wasn't meant to be taken that seriously!

[21599cinderella]

Hello marksoutof10. I think folk are fed up and do get upset that JD was a target of people who thought they could get a cheap 'laugh' at his expense! Although, I have'nt actually watched the Monty Python skit properly it does ring a bell! JD transcends on many levels and music is a very personal issue for a lot of people! This is no way an attack on you or anything, really! I have a good sense of humour too! xXx

[45btb]

you made me smile!

[dwmzmm]

The version Denver sang in "An Evening With

John Denver" album is also excellent. I also

like the song following this one in the same

album "Berkley Woman."

[any1020]

Welcome to my morning, welcome to my day I'm the one responsible, I made it just this way  To make myself some pictures, see what they might bring I think I made it perfectly, I wouldn't change a thing

[jmldspt]

Great song and great artist! What's there more to say? John Denver was the voice of the inner self of many millions of people. For me, simply the best and irreplaceable for sure.

[nixthetiger]

jmldspt: "..the voice of the inner self of many millions..." that is beautifully said. This is one of my favorite JD albums. I particularly like "Lady's Chains." John Denver helped me find a musical and poetic identity. (Ever since 1972). Peace.

[Noeladishi]

@jmldspt Hey, do you happen to know a name of a John Denver song. You seem like a big fan, I just cant remember the name of it. If I remember well hes naming greek gods through it, 'morphius thought me to rhyme' maybe a lyric from it, I just cant remember it

[jmldspt]

@Noeladishi Could it be "Calypso"?

[BadMediCynInc22]

shame he died. . .one of the best singers and song-writers of ALL TIME!

[jwhaler82]

@BadMediCynInc22 Agreed. And this song is proof of that.

[lmtpf]

Ever since I first heard this song, I imagined he was describing a wedding day!

[jahjahcarr]

Wouldn't have thought of that, that's great!

[jahjahcarr]

This is a reply to the person who said that it reminded them of a wedding, very cool, I wouldn't have thought of that.

Jah Bless
