Rocky Mountain High: John Denver

[skimask3]

Puts life in good perspective. Great song.



[DBCBoy618]

When I hear this I think of Final Destination lol

[tigerhack01]

Meraviglioso...:-)

[Northernstar9370]

I remember in 1989 I went to Colorado with my folks and i had this song on tape. I listened to it as we were flying in over the mountains and I will never forget it. An awsome song by an awsome guy. This song will forever be one of my favorites.

[Lagerfeld2008]

yeah i knew it, this guy is of German ancestry,

sad that he didnt used his real last name "Deutschendorf"

[BULLTRONHERO]

@Lagerfeld2008 for real?

[ThePeanutbutterbunny]

I remember being on road trips with my family and all the way my parents were playing John Denver. Now I ask myself... why am I here

[gamoVW]

The first time I saw a bald eagle changed my life forever. Right when I spotted it I thought of the line "I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly" and I teared up. It's the simple things in life that mean the most, not money or social status. R.I.P John...you are truly missed.

[Goodash21]

That John Denver is full of shit, man!!

No just kidding, he is great.

[gobigpoker]

@Goodash21 Dumb and dumber!!!

[holmstedt74]

what the fuck are you saying moron john denver was a very good singer songwriter if you have something against him im gonna kick your ass real hard he is the best

[jedimaster8691]

@Goodash21 lol @ Dumb and Dumber!! I love that movie!! and I love John Denver!!

[Chrisgodoflard]

I want to get really high off of the Codorado Rocky Mountain High, must go....AH!

[Chrisgodoflard]

Getting high off the mountain.

[sparklerocks]

Thank you for that John Denver, How appropriate your name IS John DENVER, I miss the new songs you would sing.

[TheWiskers1]

What a great artist... Rest in peace John.

[OrchidTigress1]

Justin Bieber is the future, and this man was the past! Boy, did we have some good music!

[nelisadaly]

@OrchidTigress1 Great performers, songwriters, singers and actors like Mr. "all in one" John Denver could never be "the past". While there are people who remember him and honor his memory watching his videos and listening to his music, he will live on. I hope we can say this things about the young Bieber in the future.

[OrchidTigress1]

@nelisadaly Past, meaning his music was literally in the past. Nothing meant by it otherwise, gorgeous music! I have always admired John Denver!

[travis102030]

@OrchidTigress1 justin bieber sucks

[Chrisgodoflard]

@OrchidTigress1 Dude, justin bieber stoll his haircut. Plus, he only sings love songs (mostly), and doesn't even right his own music.

[OrchidTigress1]

@Chrisgodoflard that would be stole his haircut and write his music.

I don't care for Justin Bieber, but I am am from the awful disco era is why I discriminate against anything pop!

[ScopedOutRaven]

Justin Bieber has his talent...John had his..for me..John was a magician. My Daughters luv Justin . I luv John and his Tunes tho.

[OatCakes101]

Amazing artist.

[AndysCoolStuff]

Watching a great John Denver video, look to the right and see "plane crash caught on tape". Not cool, YouTube

[MrBrandon3344]

john denver= john lennon=elton john

[zacherybaldwin3]

Lloyd christmas" that john denver is full of shit man". good song though.

[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

Google: Snowy Mountain New York.

Look for the mountain view which shows the lake.

[tanman32123]

@MrBlueSkyMrNight No.



[MrBlueSkyMrNight]

Years ago, I made my first mountain hike (up Snowy Mountain, NY

yeah not the Rockies...lol) but it had a beautiful view of the

surrounding forests and a lake down below. But that night, on that

mountain top, I had a dream that it was day time again and I was

looking down again at that beautiful view. And then I turned to look

next to me and there is John Denver smiling. He stepped over to me

and took off his glasses and put them on me. Without a word he was

saying - now you understand.

[321frootloops]

Luv how this song is playin evry time someone dies in final destination :)

[lopz2557]

And you wonder why some people will protect this with their life

God bless our country our way of life and above all our troops

[raisinpower]

I came here because of final destination...I returned here because John Denver is amazing :D

[gagabytis]

essa musica aparece 3 vezes no filme "Premonição"

[MariahChats]

My mother knew John Denver, my whole family did. My mom had named me after the song "They call the wind Mariah" Now my mother died, and I never met her.

[dddunsky]

epic boss



[paleo99]

Unlike the music stars of today he wasn't molded at some boy band studio somewhere. He had raw talent.

[MsCharlieken]

great song!

[Thorsten000]

I HATE THE MUSIC TODAY !!!! I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE IN THE 60s AND 70s !!! THAT WAS MUSIC !!!!!

[Chrisgodoflard]

No one can sing like him today, not even Justin Bieber (take that bitch)!

[dpramirez66]

I miss being home in colorado :(

[seligitbelldayagomez]

Colorado is WONDERFUL! I love the Rockey Mountains! this was my FAVORITE song when a kid!

[DantesGirlMayCry]

I agree there will only be one John Denver.

[MoffettLD]

Missed as much as I miss Ft.Collins, Colo best song !

[rusty67ful]

Great singer of songs. Is truly missed.

[flaviuskenneth]

ilikehishaircut:)..WAITWHERETH­ESPACEBAR???

[LavadaTreasauy433]

so I`m good looking babe

[berrygirl964]

Lord, what a song... and Lord, how I miss this man. RIP John.

[kRaZyBoY1990]

Final Destination!!!

[darkhorsefive]

If you here such a wonderful song, you want to hold your girl tenderly close and wish time could stand still

[Sammybizness]

Listening to this your transported to the Rockies. Love you John.

[deniro999]

a work of eternal genius....this song and all his work will be listened to forvever. like all geniuses he made it look effortless and easy and because of this his genius is under rated. well not by me and his millions of fans

if there is an afterlife and if you are able to hear or words john denver. thank you for sharing your gifts so generously and effortlessly. the rocky mountains of colorado will forever echo your spirit

[ShesButch]

My grandma used to play a John Denver cassette to help us fall asleep. So he was part of my childhood :)

[SSShitstorm]

This man sounds better live than any pop idol now at their autotuned best.

[ratsnacage1]

I live There.... Thank YOU!!! John!!!!!!!!!

[kezie666666]

[1976athletico]

Years before when CDs werent there I had a cassette of Rocky Mountain Christmas of John Denver. I used to hear those songs and sleep in under the christmas tree, I still remember those x-mases. I hve never been to US but I could imagine those wonderful aspen christmases that John was singing about, what a wonderful heart John has. John Denver certainly left a big void in music world which I wonder anybody can ever fill.

[TheTreetop1988]

@1976athletico aspen is one of the most beautiful places in the world fo sho

[northface9]

what is there to dislike about this?

[1021Jean]

To those 79 dislikes of this song, you have no ear for good music and maybe no ears at all. I feel sorry for you!

[xXTheVoyagerXx]

wish I could've seen him live....

[Allison2234able]

sad he died i would of went to a concert of his!

[1021Jean]

I lived near the Rocky Mountains and each time I looked at them I would think of this song and John singing Rocky Mountain High and it really fits the feeling you get when you see these beautiful maountains!!! Thanks John for bringing nature to us in songs!!

[19TommyT74]

best bowl cut ever!!!

[ColonelHate]

"I expected the rocky mountains to be a whole lot rockier, yeah that John Denver is full of shit!"

[Pulaski4x4]

@ColonelHate -- They are you just have to know where to look -- Oh yeah, and get your big fat rearend out of the SUV and find out what legs are good for.

[ColonelHate]

@Pulaski4x4 I was quoting a line from dumb and dumber... 

[Pulaski4x4]

@ColonelHate -- Sorry they're not on my watch list (which is a lot shorter than Nixon's). The advice about leaving the SUV behind is still good though if you really want to see the Rockies. ttfn

[sickballs95]

if i become a famous musician im never going on a airplane

[BuzzSmithUSN]

How could anyone even mention Justin bieber when talking of talent, teen idols come and go, singer songwriters like John Denver, James Taylor, Neil Diamond, Carly Simon, Carroll King...Justin who? lol

[manygate10]

@BuzzSmithUSN Agree!

[frenchexperience]

@BuzzSmithUSN i know what you mean but Bieber is the teeny sex symbol smooth-skinned boy-boy that the business men need to attack the little girls with dad's wallets. It's simply that. You would find it hard to market goods to that demographic on the back of John Denver. Anachronisms Buzz.

[BeastReview]

@frenchexperience Yes Bieber may be a money maker, but thats all he will ever be, he will never be respected like this great artist John Denver is in 50 years.

[lacore1988]

@BuzzSmithUSN Yet again the top comment has justin in it, GO DIE

[frankenstrat25]

@BuzzSmithUSN exactly these guys write songs that will last throughout the ages though forgotten by my generation the mainstream shit of today will write stuff that will last throughout the teen years and then fade away.

[yupitzmeagian]

this dude is amazing he shal be rememberd r.i.p john denver!

[JFAcoustic]

78 people are high in another way. I find it impossible not to like John Denver.

[Silaness11]

We lost a great singer, songwriter and man the day he died......RIP John

[ricktunmer]

Waylon,Cash.,Denver,Dylan sing about life as you see it from your front door but have been forgotten by ravers who care about nothing

[germanvigilante]

John was, is and will always be amazing. You can sit round a campfire and play only JD songs all night. At the end of the night, everyone has sung at least one song with you, and someone has sung with you at each song.

[TheIluminati63]

poor john private pilot and booze dont mix

[MrMoviecritic2011]

Hate a country trip in 04 with my dad and we drove threw Colorado and all we song was Rocky Mountain High I continue to nag him again and again it was just a good song.......... I have my respects for the old days and I apologies for the teenage generation today were just nothing but shit holes who accuse music songs like such greats like John Denver it makes me angry.

[suto50]

Love living in the Colorado Rockies, Wouldn't want to be anywhere else

[middlefingerpuppet]

I might usually listen to the hardest of rock and the heaviest of metal but one of my all time faves musician is John Denver.

[Biscuit3536]

I don't think many people realize just exactly how great of a guitarist he really was, this guy played chords that were more like chemicals. Just love his music..

[kittycat4014]

I gew up in Colorado Springs ,Colorado in the 70's when John was the biggest thing ever. I haven't listened to him in a while and ever time i do it just reminds me of what a great artist he was. he deserved every good thing he earned. I hope he is happy where he is.....all the best to him and his....mobetterbass@yahoo.com

[48snowbird]

Love these Rocky Mountain Highs, many winters now- so like the music - going on and on~

[Eternalsummersong]

I LOVE his music. To bad he dies so young.

[Wheeloffate]

75 persons died along with the flight 180. nuff said.

[fauxbay2]

@Wheeloffate nuff heard... from you

[gunnerglory]

this song was written by Justin Bieber right??? Why can't Denver write his own original material instead of stealing other peoples lyrics????

[Eternalsummersong]

@gunnerglory: Justin Bieber could NEVER write something this good!

[Eternalsummersong]

@SeducedBySirius: You said~~~~"Just Bieber could never write anything full stop hahaha"~~~~

No shit sherlock or should I call you captain obvious. >_>

Also you should write a FULL sentence full of what exactly?

[LWAL63]

@gunnerglory how the hell can John Denver steel this song beofre the world knew who justin bieber was and john denver died way before bieber was famous you fucking moron

[gunnerglory]

@LWAL63 Bieber wrote this when he was visiting Colorado, that's what he said in a message to my Beeber fan club, Justin Bieber would never lie. Then Denver goes off and steals the lyrics.

[LWAL63]

@gunnerglory this song was made in 1973 whay before bieber was even born hell before i was born so justin bieber is a lying bitch

[gunnerglory]

@LWAL63 How could it be on You Tube if it was made in 1973???? You tube wasn't even around until like 2003 or something, so you are a lying bitch. Beeber wrote this song and this Denver guy stole the lyrics.

[LWAL63]

@gunnerglory the song was made in 1973

[LWAL63]

@gunnerglory and denver died in 1997 at that time bieber would be 3 years old so there is no way bieber wrote this song you are fucking retard

[gunnerglory]

@LWAL63 You are so dumb. Justin Beeber wrote this song. Just like baby baby baby, I'm surprised he didn't steal the lyrics to Baby Baby Baby, Denver is a lying stealing son of a bitch, stealing classic lyrics from Justin beber. Beebers father actually wrote the lyrics to many Beatles lyrics too, in an interview John Lennon says it so obviosuly great lyrics run in the Beeber blood. Beebers father pretty much wrote I am the Walrus and She loves you

[LWAL63]

@gunnerglory how can he write this song before he was born that is impossible

[MrDakns]

@LWAL63 He's singing about himself, after deciding to live in Colorado,in 1970.

He was born in 1943.

And this a TV truncated version of a great song.

[LWAL63]

@MrDakns tell that to the moron who thinks justin bieber wrote this song

[MrDakns]

@LWAL63 How many believe that J B wrote it anyway? And this TV truncated version still has a lot left to be desired.

[LWAL63]

@MrDakns true

[Coleaptera]

@gunnerglory John Denver really did write the song Rocky Mountain High, back in the 70s. Justin Beiber could never do that, even if he had the same talent. He is not old enough. Movies can last for a very long time, even decades. It can also be converted from an older medium (like LP) to a newer medium (like CD). If it was recorded before, it can find it's way into modern websites. I don't mean to brag, but I have seen plenty of stuff on You Tube that is 30-50 years old.

[bekindunlimited]

simply one of the greatest artists of all time......his music is what I call real.....pure uncomplicated soulful......almost all have a meaning or message of some kind or another,,,music that makes you think and imagine..places you may never have been [like me } but through Johns music you can so clearly imagine...i loved him as a young boy and i love and miss him and his music today

[terra274]

Thanks for the inspiration to pick up a guitar all those years ago.......your music is timeless and your message of conservation will live on...not in vein i hope........i would love to see the rockies one day it looks like the most amazing place on earth..thanks John........

[mickbogshole]

I fell in love with John Denver's soulful music way back when I was just 17. His songs are a delight to listen to and inspirational. I appreciate many types of music, from the Sex Pistols to Led Zeppelin, from Classical to reggae, but have always appreciated a talent such as JD, who could sing a great song with just his crisp, sincere voice and his guitar. A special human being who cared and dedicated himself to the environment - bless you John. RIP.

[1976anabelle]

i grew up listening to john denver and the first time i heard his soulful voice i instantly fell in love with him and his music.he was an inspiration to me and still is..he will always be my top favorite musician.i just feel sad,hes gone too soon but he will alwalys be in my heart...

[djburgy]

How beautiful! I've always loved John Denver. His music is so inspirational!

[Ali27R]

What a gift he was, is, to the world. I cried when he died. Gone way too soon.

thank you for this post.

[Th3aterN3rd]

thank you for putting this up!!!! it was the best birthday present I could ever get today. I hope to thank this man in heaven someay for all the joy he has brought to my life on earth. Love when he giggles in the middle of a song...shows you how much he loved what he did!

[planatlaw]

Like John, I moved to Colorado in the summer of my 27th year. Although I started out in Aspen, I never felt it was home for me. I have lived in Cripple Creek, Crested Butte and even Denver. Now, I live in Pagosa Springs, and it is here I will stay for the duration. My wife died of cancer last year and is buried here, and that alone will keep me here.

[floydage1]

This my friends is MUSIC!!!! Miss you John, you're the reason I picked up a guitar.

[MsIlovebleach]

@wifesacouger Come on over, be my guest, but you should listen to his full length version with this missing verse, referring to a friend killed in a road accident, in it first!

[leelaws]

I remember my parents had a John Denver album when I was a kid. My Dad used to play it a lot! I never really thought about it or listened at the time. 30 years later and I understand why they played it all the time, the man is absolutely amazing! What a tragedy he died!

[JEG679]

Don't listen to everbody else. He's singing about becoming a Born-again Christian when he was 27.

[JonasBrothersPlay]

LOVE JOHN DENVER!!!!!! ♥ R.I.P John Denver! Love His Songs

[1bol390]

@JonasBrothersPlay Thank you ! So many are missing so much! : )

[Hunkola]

John Denver was so white and nerdy ---- but kinda cool

[dnp562]

Is he singing about a guy coming home from war ?

[MrDakns]

@dnp562 Nope. He is singing about himself, moving to Colorado from Roswel, New Mexico.

[becris45]

Its a beautiful day for a walk on the trail

[tgilly1000]

i love how he just sings about the easy times and how life was soo laid back

[wifesacouger]

Damn, this was LIVE with NO processors or mikes except for that on the floor, AMAZING VOCALS, clean and tight NOTHING like today, sadly there is hardly any

talent today that comes close to the performers of the 60's and 70s....'

[MrDakns]

@wifesacouger And they say that he got crazy once

and he tried to touch the Sun

and he lost a friend

but kept his memories.

No mikes,but something is missing in this in this short TV junk.

[meheybooboo]

wow! Great video!! He has and always will be one of my favorites! Pure talent!

[hickshaus]

I don't consider this country music... I really don't like country music but I LOVE John Denver. His music is just good!!

[piemanbob33]

nope. this and all of country music sucks

[busteroo7]

@piemanbob33 tell us how ya really feel lol

[goldenman83]

I believe music like this is real. take away the electronics from todays Singers and I think the artist you have left will be countable on 2 hands. John had a voice that came from heart and soul and was a true gift from god. I love this older music where you can hear the talent they have and not just wonder if its computer/electronic altered.

[gairid]

I love you John...I thank you for how you influenced my younger years and how, years after your tragic death, I am still in your thrall. Bless you,

[Carolannwisconsin]

he deserves at least 100.000.000 views . love this guy , so real. i need friends on youtube. do you love real music of the good old days?

[justinian1962]

@Carolannwisconsin I started listening to JD before I was 10 years old...I knew talent and old fashioned decency when I saw it, then and now! Glad to share it with a friend!

[kwakirima]

love old school.i can be your friend on you tube.pkirima@yahoo.co.uk

[carson3210]

@Carolannwisconsin

Who could not like JD's terrific music, lifestyle, spirituality and wholesomeness?

[52wbending52]

HEY EVERYONE!!!!!!

If you want this kind of music 2 once again come back to the 21 century read this; we can change this world! We can show the world how much we miss these masterpieces! If we start getting everyone to listen 2 this kind of music Lady Gaga + all the others will go out of business then Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Journey, Styx, + many others will once again rule the world of music! If we all wear the old style of clothing we like + listen to our music WE CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!

[hickshaus]

@52wbending52 There's room for Lady Gaga in this group... she has talent!

[VoodatheJuggalo]

@hickshaus

She's a 2000's pop singer so she doesn't fit in the list.

[2JOHNNYT]

@hickshaus she's a thieving 1/2 talent who swipes from others for satan, wears sunglasses cause she's bow wow, and meat dresses to garner the attention her half talent does not deserve. DISS'D AND DISMISSED

[52wbending52]

what talent! A song from the soul put into everyone's soul!

[52wbending52]

Whoa! I just came across my mom's old John Denver album THANKS MOM!!!! NOW WHERE'S YOUR AMERICA ALBUM?!?!

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

'During the 1980s, Denver was critical of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Administration, but he remained active in his campaign against hunger, for which Reagan awarded Denver the Presidential World Without Hunger Award in 1985.[8] Denver's criticism of the conservative politics of the 1980s was expressed in his autobiographical folk-rock ballad "Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For)."

wiki

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

'Political activismDenver became outspoken in politics in the mid-1970s. In 1976, he campaigned for Jimmy Carter, who became a close friend and ally. Denver was a supporter of the Democratic Party and of a number of charitable causes for the environmental movement, the homeless, the poor, the hungry, and the African AIDS crisis.'

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

'He founded the charitable Windstar Foundation in 1976, to promote sustainable living. His dismay at the Chernobyl disaster led to precedent-setting concerts in parts of communist Asia and Europe.[8]'
