  • Politics aside... West Virginia is really one of the most beautiful places I have seen within The United States (other than Colorado). The people are real and friendly and the views will take your breath away! From her trains full of fresh coal to coming out of her mountain tunnels to see drops of hundereds of feet it is awe inspiring!

    And leave your nocturnal proclivities to yourself next time.

  • @number1covers Hello internet troll, how are you today?

  • @rudetexan This guy is obviously just jealous of the fact that I'm in a kick ass band. Hey obnoxious cowboy, my advice is that you stop leaving messages on youtube and use that time to practice. Then some day you might be able to play as good as we do. Go ahead now git goin, Broke Back.

  • @number1covers I don't even want to be in a band, i've already signed up to the navy... i'll be doing more intresting things

  • This song was 40 years ago no.8 in the world charts #john #denver

  • RIP John Denver

  • Fat City was John's backup band and was the two other singers in the video; Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert (who was married to Bill Danoff at the time. They met in Washington DC at a club called the Cellar Door. After the gig they went back to Bill and Taffy's apartment and wrote "Take Me Home, Country Roads". It made John Denver a major star in the USA.

  • Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr. (JOHN DENVER), You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten and you will always be FAR OUT!

  • First time I heard this was in a music book back in 5th grade. Was In love with the song ever since

  • Were,nt Bill and Taffy half of The Starlight Vocal Group?

  • @johnny10301968 Yes, but I believe the name was the Starland Vocal Band, a quartet that consisted of Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, along with Jon Carroll and Margot Chapman. They had a summer TV series in 1977, which was a flop but gave a young comedian from Indiana his first national exposure-David Letterman.

  • Beograd,Srbija

  • @simmo303 wow man u say that like your the only 1 on earth that knows that

  • Great song - great harmony. I always used to replace West Virginia with Pennsylvania...close enough in proximity and syllables haha.

  • i tear up whenever i see him perform. I saw him live at the mountains of New Hampshire, I think Loon Mountain. He did a 3 hour show with maybe one 5 min break. A true talent and a true gentleman. He is sorely missed.

  • This is REAL talent singing an excellent song. John Denver was also a true gentleman.

    As a speaker I delivered a speech a few days after he passed. The title? "The Man who gave me song."

  • Meine Kindergruppe kann das perfekt singen , wenn ich dazu Gitarre spiele. So sind Eihockeykids im Sommerlager bei richtiger Pflege und Anleitung!!!!!!

  • If this doesn't put you in a good mood...!

  • Alle meine Erinnerungen drehen sich um sie

    Miner’s Lady, eine Fremde für das blaue Wasser

    Dunkel und staubig in den Himmel gezeichnet

    Das neblige Gefühl von Mondschein, eine Träne ist in meinem Auge

    Landstraßen, bringt mich nach Hause

    Zu dem Platz zu dem ich gehöre

    West Virginia, Mutter der Berge

    Bringt mich nach Hause, Landstraßen

  • It is a fantastic song! And here is the German lyrics: Dem Himmel nahe, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Das Leben ist alt dort, älter als die Bäume Jünger als die Berge, wehend wie eine Brise Landstraßen, bringt mich nach Hause Zu dem Platz zu dem ich gehöre West Virginia, Mutter der Berge Bringt mich nach Hause, Landstraßen
  • @iliketoplayxiv just like me except i'm already 17 xd

  • I'm 16 and like this kind of music more than Rihanna or Justin Bieber !

  • @iLikeToPlayXIV justin bieber just plain gay... rihanna owns f000l

  • The lyrics in this song should be actually say "Almost Heaven, western Virginia" because the stuff he sings about is almost entirely located in Virginia, not WEST Virginia the state.

  • i remember this song when i was little good song john

  • the lyrics are awesome they should so redo this song that chick who sings "if i die young" should do it.

  • GOSTO MUITO DESSA MUSICA...

  • Although terribly incorrect in geography, I've seen it break many a man into tears, but no wonder, one of the best songs ever sung in this land.

  • @Dennizjoon

  • @mannyfreak

    nee...Musik hören alle aber dafür das du in diesem Alter schon Musikgeschmack beweist und die heutige Musikindustrie es (noch) nicht geschafft hat dich einzulullen mit Gaga,Bobbo,Diddy und wie sie alle heißen...

  • @coolbatek

    Achso meinst du das, ok.

    Ja da bin ich ehrlich gesagt auch froh *g*

    Im Bus hören sie alle mit ihren Handys diese neue Musik die mir nun gar nicht zusagt.

    Ich meine es gibt auch ein paar aktuelle Lieder die ich mal, und die Band Whomadewho finde ich auch gut, da bestonders das Lied gigantische Stahlgiganten...

    Aber sonst, bei mir läuft fast nur das alte... gute Sachen halt ;-)

    Achja, und ich heiße mennyfreak ;-)

    Gruß

  • Ich liebe das weil ich bin ein Bergmann und ein Wanderer

  • ist das der alte super rlt zeichen?

  • @mannyfreak

    na dann - meinen Respekt....und...weiter so ;-)

  • @coolbatek

    Wofür denn Respekt?

    Das ich Musik höre?

    *g* Sry das ich dich nicht ganr Verstehe.

    Gruß

  • Lyrics...?
