  • It's just amazing and makes you kind of chuckle when you find out the story behind some of your most favorite songs and how and when they were put together. He figured out the remainder of the song on his way back from skiing. That's one guy that was (and actually still is) one of my most favorite singers of all time. God Bless you, John. You are missed.

  • Thank you John Denver, for all your beautiful songs !!

  • Too bad the Calypso is just a rusted hulk right now. Hope the current owners restore her.

  • The day John died was truly a sad one. This was always my favorite John Denver song and it displays the tremendous vocal range he had.

  • John Denver sang some of the most beautiful songs I ever heard.

  • Hell, I am not a biologist, I'm a propulsion engineer. It would have been an honor to maintain Calypso's engine room. =Stefan=

  • A true artist where have they all gone.

  • An amazing song by John Denver and thank you for singing it Jacques Cousteau is my hero as well he got me intrested in Ocean life by his books and shows Im forever grateful to him and John Denver for there inspiration.

  • Rest In Peace, Good Man, Environmentalist, and my hero

  • what a beautiful soul and ironic he died here in my state near the Monterey Coast a few hours from where I live, I was so shocked when I heard the news on the radio. This is one of his best songs, he has so many but I loved this one cus I have always loved the Ocean. R.I.P. John, you are missed xox

  • Just has the pleasure of finding healing at the Sanctuary in Aspen that they made for John....he will always be an incredible, singer, songwriter, and man. His music touched millions, one of which was me. And he will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

    E.L.R.

  • miss you
