John Denver - Leaving on a Jet Plane

[MrSecondThoughts]

god bless america

[MatsVS]

I for the life of me can't figure out why you'd put pictures of military aircraft in a John Denver video, considering how anti-war he was. Seems tasteless.

Absolutely fantastic song, though.

[stickmantheatre]

why is it that people who sing about planes and flying die in plane crashes like lynyrd skynyrd and john denver

[mediattackrecords]

maybe Love isnt where its at

[TheSKZSKZ]

Great pictures. Could you get a keyboard with a working apostrophe key though? Otherwise, he keeps getting sick and telling people he's ill.

[jwillett5360]

beleave it or not i still get tears in my eyes when i

play john denver songs we use to live in colo springs in the 70s

i miss it so bad there take me home countrys

[jackofalltrades1993]

everyones a big hard man on the youtube comments section.

[moonlighthrills]

shut da fuck up american and anti-american idiots .......u guys are like a pain in the butt neighbor who makes too much noise when you are making live to ur gal ....fucking enjoy da music... its soo romantic ...do u guys know what that is LOL

[jajamachova]

Omfg I love it so much! 

[MrX1pro]

TheProGamerHW Your a fucking fag, america save peoples life so does UK, you nob.

[JSDominos]

@MrX1pro I'm laughing because the USA only fights in countries that have stuff they want. Mostly oil. For every life the hardworking men and women of your American war machine saves, thousands are tossed aside in the gutter by your gouvernment policies.

Progamer's a douche, alright, but he's right.

[redbob13]

@JSDominos No he's not right, but i guess since your the mother fucking commander and chief of the U.S. army you know everything about our war strategies...Mr. President.

[hja1234able]

Progamerhw if you don't like the united states you can get the fuck out

[TheProGamerHW]

Fuck the United States, having wars with many countries.

They don't care people dying, they only care about themselves and money!

[redbob13]

@TheProGamerHW douche...you are indeed a douche. Your lucky this computer screen is holding me back or else i'd kick your ass.

[TheProGamerHW]

@redbob13 Yeah you're some American patriotic shithead!

COME AT ME BRO!

[redbob13]

@TheProGamerHW Just tell me the country you live in and i'll find your ass. BTW i ain't your fuckin bro, dip shit. Oh and i think that your opinions are stupid! Take that you (most likely) socialist piece of shit. Hell Yeah! Free Market System FTW!

[Gregmanrvb]

@TheProGamerHW

its true but its not just the US most governments are like that :(

[MrX1pro]

Going into war in a few days, and my mum found this. Lt Colonel Frasher.

I love you Mum and my GF Alisha. 1253 Ragers

[MrX1pro]

0326 Us Marines!

[gorillabigboy]

Funny ironic thing he sang this song and died in a jet plane weird 

[blackspittle]

@gorillabigboy

He got his inspiration from his love of jet planes perhaps, you sing about things you see everyday....

[cyrus364]

This song holds so many memories.

[NeonCupcake121]

i read most of the comments and i got really sad :S all the people who have to leave the ones the love :( 

[R0YLxKoaTiiK]

im getting shipped out soon and my beautiful girl found this song last night. she starting crying. this song represents alot of military couples. i'll come home for sure to see her smile.

love you heather! 0326 Us Marines

[anewell41]

@R0YLxKoaTiiK Your recon? Where are you stationed?

[R0YLxKoaTiiK]

[NickJC515]

This song hits home for me. I hate being away from home and the girl I love. I'll be home soon Steph. I love you!!! C17 Loadmaster USAF.

[1990xavo]

my girl was sad when i was leaving. there were so many things which i wanted to tell her yet i couldnt. so i played this song to her and i did return with the wedding ring. story of my life from 0:00 to 3:57

[krivas99]

my mom used to sing to this song me every night. She died when i was ten so this song just make me soo happy and lets me remeber all the good times.

[Stephatika]

Was just thinking about 'Armageddon' the one movie that made me cry like a baby. All i can say is I Love love this song!!

[steamingmidget]

i know everyone has herd this but its pretty ironic that he died on a plane

[alittlebohemian]

One week until my relationship becomes long distance. :( Hold me like you'll never let me go. ♥

[nktcx3]

shmily! 

[MsShadow125]

brings me back to my child hood lovely :) sweet memories aw those were the days...........

[cobiafish]

Happy Birthday John, you left us on a plane but are still remembered.

[mightaxe]

Very nice job with the pictures and sllideshow

[19894412]

Glee can sing these songs and do them some justice, but in all honesty, glees versions are like counterfit videos, they just don't match up to the real thing.

[thormohlen1]

Richfield High School. 1969. Every time I hear this song I think of Kay W.

[steamingmidget]

@thormohlen1 know one knows who that is

[brothergigs]

This is a nicely made video, and wonderful song! I have literally listened to it for over an hour straight!

[Charlieroxs13]

I love how this song is in armeggedon

[markcool357]

@Charlieroxs13 yeah me too

[AngelaMaryRusso]

This man made me fall in love with the Tenor voice. 

[agungpambudi72]

i am living on jat plane...

[RenzGonzaga33]

Armageddon <3

[demon784]

The Guard brought me here.

[jimmychange100]

He is the greatest singer ! We miss you ,John ! RIP forever!!!

[sTapleEVA]

he was the original writer, but peter paul and mary made the original song :P

[AlmeroSpy]

love this song so much

[faltenpitt]

the wedding ring picture, can you give the link to download it. Thanks..

[ChickChaseful]

@faltenpitt you could take a screenshot of it then crop out the rest of the youtube website. you can do that by pressing print screen on your keyboard then opening up paint then pasting the image of your screen you just copied, then delete all else but the image you wanted of the wedding ring picture, resize the boarder of the image, via adjusting the pixel rates and viola, you're set! If you need help, I'll do it for you or talk you through it. Merry Christmas.

[faltenpitt]

@ChickChaseful thanks mate, Merry Christmas.. :)

[JugsEzze1997]

december 2011 watched this

[krstian158]

så smuk sang han er den smukkeste i verden !!!!!!!!!!!!

[21ethical]

This is one of the best songs I've heard and will hear in my life

[jfallon34689]

us airways or airtran steals my heart

[coloradofarm]

i may be a republincan but its cool hes a democrat and if youre a great musician as hisself i dont care what political party he is!

[iw32]

Chantal What's her face did a terrible version of this classic.

[samante0490]

This song will stay forever.

[BigAl6ft6]

This song plays over the credits of "The Guard" and, epic fail on my part, I thought it was a cover and not the original song. Gotta say I dig this version more than the more well known Peter, Paul & Mary version.

[MrRammstein7]

This song ruined this song... Terrible.

[TheRicolindo]

thanks john for this song rip



[wilcarr1]

When I hear this song I am 19 again waveing goodbye to my loved ones not knowing if I'll be back again heading to Vietnam as a infantryman. It was the most unhappy time in my life that moment of getting on the plane straining to get once last glance out the window to see my wife and six month old baby girl. 59,916 young boys as myself got on planes and never saw America again alive.

[bellibell88]

@wilcarr1 you just made me cry

[ccfiberglass]

@wilcarr1 I cannot imagine. i hope all ended well. thanks for being the guy that did it anyway.

[kaatje2111]

@wilcarr1 Only those who lived through this can understand (We can only try to imagine). What's so sad is that there are still 'universal soldiers' all over this planet.

Peace to you and your loved ones.

[damiticalanda]

@wilcarr1 You should not forget that besides the round 60'000 US soldiers, also about 1.5 million Vietnamese soldiers and about 4 million Vietnamese civilists have died and still die these days because of long-term effects of Agent Orange and blind shells... USA is just too aggressive, why did they interrupt anyway?

[MultiFroggies]

@wilcarr1 ye i saw it on the news few days ago. they should stop sending people to that arabic country.

[SimplyDitty]

@wilcarr1 Eerah. Sir

[moonlighthrills]

@wilcarr1 man u seriously made me feel so sad for you ...sorry u had to go through all that, i truly am ...please do take care of urself

[mizlk33]

@wilcarr1 Thank you



[roxws17]

@wilcarr1 thank you for your service. it should never go unnoticed

[LiveLife2Love7]

The night I left fiji one of the boys from where we were staying sung this to me, sweetest. thing. ever.... <3

[brayner231]

first song i ever learned on guitar

[jjcardenas1]

112 doesn't leave on a JETPLANE!!

[juliahronn]

but though seriously, kid! get your grammar right ..

[juliahronn]

this song is so good ! :D

[nitram99nitram]

Bloody Great Thank You Very Much

[Bunnahabhain1982]

 How hard is it to spell "you'll" or "I'll" , or use punctuation anywhere near correctly? The lyrics are not that complex!

Great song, awful video.

[Madmoon90]

I will kiss u and smile for u.. whisper at ur ear that I will wait for u until u come back to me.. hold u like I'll never let u go and I meant it. Love u..

[Hydroxoid]

"I am leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again."

The answer is never, because it crashed.

[832existentialiste]

woke up crying to this, this morning. missing someone terribly. :(

[chairface87]

111 people have been left by someone and they did'nt wait for them.

[GabriellaMoss1]

I hated every single minute of this.

[christina1276]

A classic,remember it be played as a kid all the time and even sitting around and singing it as my dad played it on guiter.Good memories!!!!!

[s7aab10]

and crashing :'(

[PanamaRedGonzo]

3 million views and I'm the first to like the video?

[cfj182]

@PanamaRedGonzo 6,071 people liked before you dude.

[PanamaRedGonzo]

@cfj182 Weird that YouTube didn't display any of those Likes when I was on this page before, but I guess that glitch makes more sense than the alternative! lol

[dougsk1]

ramonmon God bless you from America and peace to all. What coountry are you from?

[BASSGUITARGUY666]

seriously i dont want to start an arguement just because some does not like this does not give u a right to hate on them maybe is just the quality of the video maybe the might not like the video it doesnt mean they hate the song

[MrBeans060]

110 people have never been on a jet plane :D

[hiswagata]

gives me goosebumps every time i listen to it..

[elcielollora]

A los que votaron que no les gusta esta cancion lesdigo "Johnny, la gente esta muy loca, what the fuck"

[evilthesaurus]

still listening to this in november 2011

[stillengage]

I am 17 years old. Both my girlfriend and I love John Denver. This is my favorite song of all time, and I even sing it in my time of depression.

In the event of my death, this is the song I would choose to play at my funeral.

R.I.P. John Denver. You left us on your jet plane, and you're not forgotten. Oh, tell George Burns I said 'hi' too. You two were amazing in Oh, God!

[IamOXY1]

thumbs up if yu were watchin armaggedon and yu wanted to the actual song

[isab3142]

I love this song!<3 i be happy!<3

[cowlvr4321]

The crazy/sad thing is John Denver left life in a jet plane

[JamesTilsley1]

ironic that it was a plane that killed him

[musclehead1992]

theres no artist outthere that can match to his voice 18 yrs old here n new music is poop compare to this, when you listen to his voice u feel it down inside because of his voice! hes the best singer ever!!!!

[pigseye1]

Love this song ,made my 9 year old daughter listen to it with me once ,and she now makes me listen to it with her has become our song.

[edchaves]

Who performed it better than Ray Conniff and his orchestra? It´s touching.

[benmary9]

GLEE RUINED THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[Annalein812]

@benmary9 glee ruined EVERY song. ._.

[Avalon1929]

@benmary9 No one is forcing to listen to the Glee version. Seriously, the original is still the same.

[Wurstenmacher]

@benmary9 No they didn't, the song is still here.

[benmary9]

@Wurstenmacher but for the people who listen to the glee version first, they think the song is horrible and they never listen to the FIRST AND BETTER VERSION!

[Mr007Mayur]

@benmary9 I DISAGREE! I listened to the Glee version first. I really loved the Glee version as well as the original version :D

[benmary9]

@Mr007Mayur all right you've got your opinions, i've got my facts :P

[lazerjave]

109 people that did not leave on a jet plane thumbs if agree

BTW! :))

ARMAGEDDON BRINGS ME HERE

[zeddaemon]

I heard John Denver for the first time when my friend sang Annie's Song for a competition.

It was also the first time I cried in public since a long, long time.

Denver rocks people. Amen.

[offal]

ironic really he died in a plane crash.and sad aswell

[iw32]

This song is so beautiful and John Denver who wrote it sings it most movingly.

[sajonasbrothers101]

this is my daddys favorite song.. and I performed this song and dedicated for him.. :)

[TheBheng11]

i have also cover this song i realyrealy love the songs of john denver .. love your video very much it makes me cry when mu husband leave me and he go to dubbai u i like this video

[MrAlbertRiera]

Beautiful song!

[polyforce13]

this is the only song bear grylls can play on the guitar

[0917gva]

A particularly lovely song. One of favorites. This is a beautiful post.

[gazzymodo]

John Denver is/was an American legend. British audiences love his Sunday evening show in the 70s. On visiting the Colorado mnts in '94, i can see why he loved it there so much. Whenever i hear his music it takes me back there. "Leaving" is a Beautiful song, probably the best ever on the subject of saying goodbye to a lover/loved one.

[rulerofyourface]

3DS blog...

[W00Dsey]

I love it when they sing this on armageddon

[Powerman6002]

I want to do a "screamo" cover of this

[MrMookstar]

emo slide show. way to make a good song a furfag fest.

[samheyman09]

why ruin such a beautiful song with such distasteful visuals?? it's painful.

[kingowen11]

i realy like this song it reminds me my pass, the guy who i love.

[musclecarluvr1]

✈Fly High, John. We really miss you here.

Thanks for your dedication and devotion to Nature Preservation.

[lemonhead1256]

[phyrrusvox]

cute tune, so so lyrics, vomit inducing visuals

[KUSHMagnet22]

still waiting

[dewy9uk]

lol i dont think john was referring to a F15 fighter jet though

[iw32]

Early winter blues...

[Neopinky46]

i LOVE this song, but like it better when Chantal Kreviazuk sings it

[francispogi12]

like this if you play in october 2011

[darceeification]

@francispogi12  its not October yet...

[enwilao81]

me hubiera gustado dedicársela a alguien muy especial y por unos días no pude.....

[janisakironmaiden]

ah the irony

[StuON22]

B E A U tiful !!!! this is LOVE !

[abhishekalwaysrocz1]

when i was going to UK for further studies then i sent this link to my EX girlfriend and after listening to this song she came to say a last good bye and when i was leaving then she said that "SHE STILL LOVE ME" and she kissed me. That was the most beautiful moment of my life... But i had to leave as the plane was ready to leave and i was the last passanger to hop in.. Love you john denver you helped me to get my love back...

[JINGCHIANG10]

@abhishekalwaysrocz1 thats so sweet, mate!

[smilesomeoneneedsit]

distance sucks :(

[ktownhero1991]

ohh the irony...

[ramonmon1000]

[RealThugShakur]

[RealThugShakur]

Thumbs up if the movie Armageddon sent u !

[greenvox]

Citrix GoToMeeting should adopt this song in their marketing campaigns.

[stormruston]

Reminds me of every girl I ever knew... The present always becomes the past.

[justinp5960]

RIP

[jeffjulaton]

really nice...even do it's old

[vanhelsing2305]

Dear JD..may you are blessed by the almighty..thank you for giving the world such a beautiful song.....

[SaukaKumagae]

I've been listening to this song on repeat for a while and it just occurred to me that maybe the story is too perfect, maybe he is just telling her this too make her feel better, maybe he won't come back or doesn't know if he'll be able to come back. It feels like what he says is what he wants to happen, but maybe it won't.

I was brought here because i like this song...
