I love this song. It makes me want to cry, although I don't know why. It just seems so sad whenever I hear it. I love John Denver's music and listen to it so much I have most of it memorized. So sad how he died, one of the greatest musicians ever, no one can beat him.

To live in the hearts of those you have left behind - is to never die!! But when my time comes - I can only hope that I am doing something I really love to do - like flying!!! Then again, my first question to JD will be "WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST FILL UP THE DAMN GAS TANKS?!!!"

"It seems that the mind runs wild when you're all alone." Truest statement I've ever came across

I started listening to John Denver as a teen. It made me start thinking about, noticing & appreciating the simple, most beautiful aspects of life that I was so selfishly taking for granted. I honestly believe his music changed the course of my life. I hated that he died as well as the implications that he failed to properly fuel his aircraft. A little bit of research & the truth is so clear. Thanx for posting.

@Earthlinked I never believed it myself, but my thoughts were: Oh my god, how?? No, I don´t believe it...News reporters say what ever they like and they don´t think about his family and friends or fans... I am so happy to hear that he will never be forgotten this man was the most wonderful singer ever. My husband is a very huge fan too, and he will be happy to read what you just wrote. Thanks man.

@Louisefalk78 The cornorers final report found no alcohol or drugs in his body. There were many incorrect news reports - one reported the accident was a suicide - becasue he could not get a recording contract. (RCA and SONY/BMG were offering millions to get him under contract - his last album the "The WildLife Concert" was a double LP - (by SONY/BMG) - and sold over 5,000,000 copies!) His brother, Ron, said "Anyone that thinks that John Denver committed suicide - has their head up their ass!"

@Earthlinked You are right we will never know, I was horrified when I heard the news telling that he went flying in his airplane with alcohol in his blood. I know in my heart that whatever happened he will fill our hearts and souls with his wonderful music. Bless his soul.....

@Louisefalk78 ANd THAT is the million $ question: Why did this pilot with over 2400 hours of flying - take off in an airplane he was NOT famaliar with - that had half empty tanks? He had $2400 cash in his pocket!! When he called for the airport to "ready" his airplane - they asked if they should fill the tanks. Denver answered "No"! (this was recorded)!!! He knew to never leave without full gas tanks? Why he took off flying with half full gas tanks - we will never know!!!! He knew better!!

[Louisefalk78]

@Earthlinked I know but it´s still kinda sad. But again if you fly fill the tanks..... But he died doing what he loved and that´s a fine thought

[Earthlinked]

@Louisefalk78 He went there to fly his new airplane - period! He also told Clint Eastwood (his new next door neighbor) that he would "buzz" his house when he got his new airplane in the air!!!
