I love this song and all of John Denver's work. He will always be alive in our hearts.

If u fall on the rock? He will save. If the rock falls on u it He will grind u to powder.

Like it ***** stars

[PAXpeaceHEIWA]

この川の中で、山の色、今、心の中に解けてゆく。。。星が照らす­、ライクザflower that shattered the stone.

日本語でのバージョンも信じられないほど美しい。。。

Happy Mother's day! I love this song...thank you for posting it, and I thank JD for shining.

[FarOutJohn]

I think this is one of John's best songs!

maybe this sounds crazy but I want to have this song be played at my funeral!

Maybe more people want this???

I'll bet I'm not the only one

[rizilly]

You are not: Two days ago a young man who went on an excursion in the Judean desert who Fell from a 200 meter cliff was buried.. When the rescue team found his body, the root of a flower called the Chatsav (a flower that blooms only in Israel and only after the long, hot and rainless summer) was tangled in his back pack . The chatsav )(חצב) is called that because the Hebrew word for stone-boring is lachatzov - it is a flower that literally bores it's roots into solid stone.

im singing this in chorus for our concert! lol he looks like that guy from the kelly videos

[tonyhorn]

Johns music is so BEAUTIFUL his songs will live on forever, FAR OUT, JD.

John Denver's versions *are* nice; I've been a fan since "Rhymes..."

But give credit where credit where credit's due:

Those stunning lyrics are by Joe Henry, & that achingly lovely waltz is by John Barlow Jarvis. It's on his sadly out-of-print '88 CD, "Whatever Works" - find it if you can.

At Amazon & iTunes, sample this Jarvis waltz: "Fathers and Sons" (words: Gary Nicholson), from 1993's "Balancing Act."

I'm merely a big fan of this composer/performer; check out his site: johnbarlowjarvis

[mops63]

Yes, I miss him too. The best one go at first.

[Hannahorse715]

what show or concert was this clip from?

[davesnouffer]

Believe it or not, this clip is from The Tonight Show, with Johnnie Carson hosting. There is a clip out there of this same presentation where John chats with Johnnie before going over to sing this beautiful song, with Connie Reeder as backup. One of the best versions of "The Flower that Shattered the Srone" that's available -IMHO.

[KneeltjeKnoedel]

stil, mijn favoriete zanger dit te horen zingen dank je wel voor dit plaatsen, ik heb het zitten vertalen

the Netherland

[cAtKitty47]

One of my favorite songs by John. Is so sensitive and touching. I wish he was still with us. RIP, John.

[windsong1962]

It's not one of my personal favourites, cAtKitty - just a nice song. I wish I had 'Amazon'.........or 'And you Say that the battle is Over'..........or 'I want to live', in a format for Youtube. Maybe Autograph even : 'THIS is my autograph, here in the songs that I sing, here in my laugh and my cry, here in the love that I bring' RIP John

[cAtKitty47]

I have Autograph on cassette tape...that's really old. I have the other two you mention on CD's. I hope you will be posting more videos; I'll be watching.

[windsong1962]

If I find it, I'll post it - someone taking the trouble to post just keeps me digging :-)

John we lost a decade ago - his music should be shared for those who want to hear it, and see it. It's, to me, importsnt that people should. L'Chiem - to life !!!

[Ghost99535]

@windsong1962 This song touched me and many,and John Denver too.
