We all seek "True Love", if we are lucky enough we find it. John made us BELIEVE, that sweet voice of his told us so. I could happen.
NOT always the case. THAT is when WE really find out who we are. Sometimes not a pretty picture. Sad to say. If we are lucky one has children, to see us through.
John always sang of hope & tomorrow. I SO believe him! With sweet bitterness thrown in. That's life! Thank you JD.
I couldn't find the words to break up with a long-time boyfriend...we had found each other after dating a year in HS...I knew he was in love with another woman...and I guess I just didn't want to hold him back...I just didn't have the words....I played THIS for him,.....(The two are married now). I found someone else and we had a little girl and he left me for someone 15 yrs younger....Someday..."Love is Still the Only Dream I Know"
Man, oh Man, John Denver sure good write! Such a sad, yet beautiful lyric with an equally beautiful melody. This might be my favorite song by John Denver.
John Denver's biggest mistake was singing that duet with Domingo. Then the people began to realize what an annoying voice he had. nHe was a nice man . don't get me wrong now
@grimTales1 Yes it was!!! In fact - in Denver's book - (Take Me Home) - he mentions that he was playing (writing) this song in his music room - and Annie overheard it - stuck her head in the room and asked "Is that one for me?"
She had divorce papers served to John - on their 15th wedding anniversary - while he was on a short tour!!!
@Earthlinked But dispite what image he had he wasn't all swetness and light. He took a chainsaw and cut everything in half starting with the maritual bed! So small wonder she divorced him. I llike his music but never cared for the actual person once I saw the facade he lived behind.
@Sladedestiny Actually the story has been embellished - just a bit!!! He cut ONLY the kitchen table in half with a chain saw - because Annie had cut down 2 trees that they planted the day they moved in. And no - he was not all peaches and cream - he was a human - with emotions, fears and sometimes simple poor judgement. And she divorced him - served him divorce papers on their 15th wedding anniversary - she could have waited a week or so!!!!! And you are wrong - Denver was a wonderfl person!
@Earthlinked Thats your opinion which of course you are intittled to.However he was far from being a wonderful person.What sort of person cut's a table in half with a chain saw?Often unstable in his mind and not always nice to be around. The date papers were served makes no difference.He knew the it was coming.
@songbird669 No I didn't do it that way. I made a video using a Movie Making Program. So I uploaded it all together. :) Thank you for the Compliment. :) I hope I could help a little.
@Rainbow4990 Dear Sir: Thanks so much for posting this video as close to 182,000 have now enjoyed it. I have listened at least 100 times. The video is wonderful and this is now my favorite JD song...and that says alot since he is my favorite singer! God bless you for your efforts as they have meant so much to many of us!
love is why i came here in the first place~love is still the reason i must go love is still the only dream i know! never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined it this way!i just don't know you now my heart is broken.you wanted someone else.i married you with true love,to have a family 20 yrs together five where stolen,i wish so much it was not true, but it's what it is,
To think the world thought John was a has been by the time this album came out, but it was as GREAT as anything he ever did and timeless music that will be around long after the latest pop offerings! ... "true love is still, the only dream I know."
when this song came out, i had just separated after 15 years,and i was devestated, i had not felt that empty feeling that knaws at your soul, this song crushed me to the core, but now it doesnt hurt like it once did, i imagine john was in some anquish too. thanks for posting- victoria bc canada
we should all be sensitive what mother nature can offer, it is a gift from a wonderful Creator. if we dont take care of it, it wont be long or as imminent as now that disaster is happening across the globe, and, what more can we offer for the future generation to come. it is very painful to think and see how our planet is immensely and quickly deteriorating. we are all going to suffer the consequence because nobody of us is not found guilty. but we can still do something to SAVE PLANET EARTH.
Thank you Ascaidh, you are so kind......life goes on, but it is hard when you have lost your one true love. John brings out the sadness of the loss, but he also brings out the beauty and joy of life with his beautiful songs like no other. He sings from his heart from his own experiences.
I do agree with you 100% BlueiiiedLady, nobody does it better than John Denver who can interpret a song so beautifully and wonderfully expressed. He has perfected every letter, lyrics in the expression of his music. I listened to them very often and tried to digest and feel the messages of his songs. It is truly awesome and inspirational, and uplifting to the spirit as well.
I come here at night when I am lonely, and watch and listen to John's music and videos. His music is the best medicine when you are down. He left us the same year I lost my husband. Listening to him and playing his cd's helps me get through the evening. I miss them both so much.
We need his music in the UK over here we have shows for CHILDREN that seem to promote destruction of the enviroment aka 'development' so apparently humans can do better than God. WRONG! Destruction of nature is not development it is DESTRUCTION!!!
Amen, sister. I'm a gardener; I've got three and a half acres of sixteen year old blue spruces. I hate how humans have raped the planet. But, there is still hope. We have to band together and make a stand for mother earth. Plant a tree. :)
I knew that we all longed for john, but for now Im really happy that you supported and admired most of my brother songs, I hope that you will continue to love our music heritage.
John Denver loved the natural world and he is lucky that he never lived to see it destroyed by the greed and short sightedness of the super rich who think that they are above the natural world.
I comfort myself only with the knowledge that the children of the stupid rich will die along with the rest of us.
for my Tim,love is why i came here in the first place~love is still the reason i must go love is still the only dream i know! never in my wildest dreams imagined it this way!i just don't know you now hon,being beside you is when i'm most alone, my heart is broken.you wanted someone else.i married you with true love,to have a family twenty five yrs together five where stolen,i wish so much it was not true, but it's what it is,i love you i have to go now with our son,we cant live like this,canwe?
I've listened to John Denver for all of my life. When I bought the "Forever John Denver" box set, I had found a song that tied for favorite song of all times. It used to be solely "Rhymes and Reasons." Now that song and this song tie for my favorite. John Denver's lyrics and voice are timeless.
"And I think my heart is broken, there's an emptiness inside, but I wouldn't try to change you.. love is why I came here in the first place, love is still the only dream I know" -wonderful, oh I liked it(;.
That's what is so special about him, he writes songs you can soooo relate to. Both Perhaps Love and My Sweet Lady are very special to me. I hope you are happy now!
