This video is precious as it is John and his guitar. Many of his recordings were "over processed" with symphonies, etc. Sometimes just hearing the musician alone gives a better sense of his music and songs. Thanks for posting this one. Of all his songs, this one was an inspiration that came to him, rather than a song he wrote (according to John) and I believe it. Thanks. Mary

This is absolutely beautiful. I just find his singing mesmerizing. I know he was never regarded as the coolest kid on the block... But I don't think he gave a damn. And in the end, that is the coolest way to be of all. He did so much for the enviroment... and awoke my young mind to the beauty of nature. I'm so grateful to him. I agree with what someone else wrote about it being just him and the guitar. Very happy I found this.

When you watch someone do, what they were meant to do by their creator, you can't help but be moved. I truly believe that is what made John so popular around the world.

The lyrics in this song were very prophetic in my opinion...for example : "Though the cities start to crumble...& The towers fall around us......The Sun is slowly fading...and it's colder than the sea...it is written from the desert to the mountains...they shall lead us, by the hand & by the heart...& they will comfort you and me..."~ The children shall teach us to be free!!! They are the promise of the future and the blessing of today.

Rhymes and Reasons is my absolute favourite John Denver song. It is an extremely beautiful song. It still saddens me to think of how he passed away, way before his time. His talent was incredible & people from all over the world know & love his music. For me - I will always listen to John's music. I knew the area where his plane went down in the Monterey Peninsula at Pacific Grove, California. It is a truely beautiful area and John loved to fly. Whenever I go to Monterey I think of this.
