John Denver Four Strong Winds

From The Album John Denver Forever, John

by Ian Tyson

Four strong winds that blow slowly
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for moving on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Guess I'll go out to Alberta
Weather's good there in the Fall
Got some friends that I can go to workin' for
Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time
But we've been thru that a hundred times or more

Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

If I get there before the snow flies
and if things are going good
You could meet me if I send you down the fare
But by then it would be winter
Nothing much for you to do
And the wind sure blows cold way out there

Four strong winds that blow slowly
Seven seas that run high
All these things that don't change come what may
Now our good times are all gone
And I'm bound for movin' on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
Yes, I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Have never heard John do this song. Very good. The video looks like the area where his plane unfortunately crashed. Yes/No???

@GaryDenverShaw This is a video of the east coast of Ireland. :-)

what can I say !!! you know how much I like both JD and your creations !!!

[catbrush123]

Thank you DC . I was lying on my tummy on a very stoney beach to get some of the shots... Ouch!! :-)

So very haunting. It really does work. There is a sense of loneliness about it all through.

Beautiful and relaxing. Well done. FB

[catbrush123]

You hit the nail on the head FB.. The sense of loneliness is what I tried to capture.

[BlueiiiedLady]

Hi cat, I had forgotten about this song. I guess I had because it did have that sense of loneliness and sadness. It brought tears to my eyes listening to the words and missing my husband so terribly that it hurts. Great job on the video.

i bet john would smile, say something comforting about the present state of the world...the guy seemed to have a sense of balance, kept his eye on what's most important...family, making the most of the present, looking forward to tomorrow, regardless of the tons of negative influences out in the world these days...

Beautiful. Well done, thanks for sharing it. Phil Polson

@BlueiiiedLady

My deepest sympathies for your loss. John Denver's version is (if I may dare say the following: better than the original). Ive been a fan of Neil Young's music for the past 30 yrs...check out "Cortez the Killer" - remember what you had with your husband - the little special things.. that you got used to every day. It sounds like Neil didnt have this half as good as you did. Sounds like you & your husband lived life...many people are playing catch-up.

Take care

Slow enough for a lullaby
