First Time Hearing JOHN DENVER - ANNIE'S SONG (REACTION) 

👕My Wife's Store - krizzyskreations.com

One of the most beautiful, romantic songs ever written. Even after more than 40 years listening, I've never tired of it. Thanks for sharing this one!

This is what John Denver was like. His music, most of his songs are so emotional. Love and miss him. RIP

It broke my heart when John Denver died. He was a talented artist and a kind, caring human being, and his "Annie's Song" is one of the most beautiful love songs out there. Give a listen to "Rocky Mountain High" and hear how someone can encounter the divine in nature.

He wrote this song for his wife, in his head, in ten minutes, while out skiing in Colorado. One of the very few "perfect" love songs.

I saw this on a bumper sticker years ago: It's not about finding the right person. It's about being the right person. Amen.

This was the song my mom walked down the aisle to at her wedding, and one of the songs we played at her funeral. 💔 she loved singing John Denver around a bonfire, miss you Mama

He wrote this song for his wife. His voice is truly magical. He makes you feel. Thank you and God bless.

I love John Denver's voice,he had so much emotion in his songs and they were all soothing. "Rocky Mountain High from 1972 is a beautiful ballad. ❤

John Denver is a poet. His words in the song express his deep love for the persons he dearly love. If the melody in this song does not move you, the lyrics will blow you away. The part when the humming comes blended by stringed violin full orchestra-like accompaniment, the feeling is just heavenly.

Just so you know. That song was written on a ski lift in about 10 min. He wrote the song shortly after Annie and John went through a difficult time in their marriage. John plays guitar mainly,also piano.

He’s playing the guitar and singing.

One of the purest male voices I've ever heard.

He and his wife got into an argument and he wrote this on a 15 minute ski lift ride! Super talented guy ♥️

he is the one playing the guitar. he wrote the song to his wife after an argument. beautiful

This song was written in 10 minutes while he was on a ski lift in Aspen Colorado. I had this song played at my wedding, and it still holds true today. It is in my opinion the greatest love song ever written. The man is truly missed.

One of the greatest love songs ever written.

Sunshine on my shoulder and Leaving on a jet plane are two of his greatest. And Rocky mountain high

He's playing. I met him and he is an amazing guitar player and vocalist. Mostly, he was a good person.

John Denver singing is one of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear.

They don't write'm like this anymore! It's definitely a lost art! What a beautiful visual.

Had the privilege to see him in concert in my hometown of cork Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1986 what a voice and such a gentleman I thank god I got to see live in concert love your reaction ❤

“Poems, Prayers, and Promises,” was one of his favorite songs that he wrote.

If you want to hear another great love song by John, the song ‘For You’, written for his second wife, Cassie, is on his ‘wildlife Concert’ album from 1995. This is a live album and showcases how great he was singing live. He even plays the piano on this song. I was blessed to see John in person 16 times over the years and found each of his concerts to be an amazing spiritual experience, with a vibration of unconditional love and compassion he shared with the audiences. I still listen to John’s music every day, to connect with what is really important in life; but in truth, you don’t just listen to John Denver, you experience him with your whole heart and soul. I loved watching your reaction here and I’m sure you will love digging into his amazing catalog of heartfelt songs.

Has to be one of the most romantic songs ever! The sound just fills your ears and your heart at the same time! Loved it!

Such a heartfelt song from John Denver, so beautiful. He also sang with Cass Elliott, the song was called 'I'm leaving on a jet plane' - sadly he died in a plane after that. We all miss him dearly RIP John 💔💔

Along with his voice, the instrumentation is perfection. Those violins!

This song always makes me think of my Grandma. She used to play this song on vinyl every day in the 70s-80s when she cleaned houses. Brings a tear to my eye, miss her so much. Beautiful song.

I grew up in a log cabin in the 70's on 20 acres of woods. My parents played John Denver basically on a loop. I can still sing most of his songs lol. If you want a short one but a good one that almost nobody knows about, check out The Eagle And The Hawk. (Not live, do studio version)

What a fabulous voice....and a great talent that left us too early God Bless!

One of the most beautifull love songs ever written in my opinion ❤

Sunshine on My Shoulders, Back Home Again, Rocky Mountain High, Poems Prayers and Promises, Sweet Surrender, Starwood in Aspen, Eclipse, Paradise, Follow Me, The Eagle and the Hawk, and just so, so many more are some of his songs. They are all wonderful and he is sorely missed. His songs brought peace and love in a time of national turmoil and they are highly relevant today.

Loved this reaction! One of his best songs and one of my favorite. He wrote this for his wife after they had a fight. It came to him as he was on a ski lift. He’s playing the guitar and does in all his songs. One of the most beautiful love songs ever!

Pure Liebe. Gänsehaut auf allen Ebenen❤

There is a song about John Denver's uncle - the song is called Matthew. Beautiful song. John plays acoustic guitar.

I love John Denver so much and this song makes me cry every time I hear it. John Denver was a poet and I highly recommend Rocky Mountain High for more beautiful lyrics. I was lucky enough to experience this kind of love, and before my boyfriend died he used to play it for me. Even now I know he still loves me this way and I still love him and I'm looking forward to seeing him again. 💚

I had tge privilege of seeing John Denver in concert about four times. He’s unique.

31 years, 8 kids, 8 grandchildren and the hubs and I are still solid. Love is beautiful and when you find your soulmate ❤ you are truly blessed.

There’s not a single song of his that isn’t incredible. I travelled a lot a few years ago and his voice was like my best friend on those long drives. God bless him. This will be the first dance song at my wedding. I’ve never heard LOVE described in a more beautiful and accurate way ❤❤

Check out John and Mama Cass singing leaving on a jet plane on the midnight special TV show. They harmonize beautifully together. Also, John was a world class Guitar player.

He played while singing. For his best watch ALL his live songs in the Wildlife Concert. Perfection..

Picture it, America, Summer 1974 and playing on the radio "Annie's Song." Timeless 🤗 ⚾

Hi, I'm from México City, and when a was a child I start seeing John Denver's christmas specials and Muppets shows where he participated in, and I enjoyed his music. And when I heard this song I really love it, even on this days I still enjoying it, and make me cry the beautiful love he profess for her in it

I think this is prettiest song John Denver ever recorded. I got to meet John Denver once, he was the nicest person.

I would like a human being like he was in the bottom of his heart to rule the world in this sad and dark era.

Can you imagine hearing this for the first time as the recipient. As Annie. Goodness.

Devin, I have this on my playlist this is one of the most romantic love songs ever written in my opinion. You must do a song called if by a group called bread yes I said bread like a slice of bread lol

John Denver really gives you the feelies. His voice is so smooth and clear. His lyrics are amazing. I was devastated when he died. It really hit me hard.l. I'm glad you heard this song.

Stunningly beautiful song.

John Denver was, and still remains, a legend.

Beautiful song for his wife and sadly missed also

We all Loved John RIP .I have been married 42 years a life time its a journey .God Bless love your show

That's him playing the guitar....not many realize he was a virtuoso on the twelve string acoustic guitar. I'm so fortunate to have met him after a concert in Cerritos, CA. in 1997 5 months before his untimely death. I got to shake his hand and thank him for changing my life. I grew up in crap hole, Cleveland, Ohio. The river there, the Cuyahoga was so polluted, it caught on fire. Today, Cleveland is rated as one of the top ten dangerous cities in America to live in. I graduated from college and moved west to Boise, Idaho and now live on a ranch high in the Rocky Mountains in a log home. It's almost August 2023 and we will soon be watching the Perseid Meteor showers. High up in the Rockies, there are no city lights to obstruct this Arial phenomena....it's what he wrote about in his masterpiece, ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"I've seen it rain'n fire in the sky." His music changed the trajectory of my life and I've never looked back......again, like in ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"He was born in the summer of his 27th year, comin' home to a place he'd never been before." What a wonderful life that Jesus and John's music have given me....grateful can't describe my feelings.

He wrote this song in 10 minutes on a ski lift in Aspen after an argument with his wife, Annie. An amazing guy. His music changed my life, moving from Ohio to the Rocky Mountains of Idaho in 1980....where my wife and I live in a log home high in the mountains on a 21 acre ranch. I had the pleasure of meeting John back stage in Cerritos, CA 5 months before he tragically passed.....He is missed!!!

This is one of my favourite songs for years. And it probably always will be. It's just too beautiful.

Annie’s Song was written while he took a ski lift to the top of a mountain, in TEN MINUTES! He and Annie had been arguing, and he wrote this masterpiece for her. Check out Rocky Mountain High, Calypso, Take Me Home Country Roads, Sweet Surender, and the infamous Thank God I’m a Country Boy! You will be a permanent convert! ❤️

He was one of the best singers and songwriters ever.

I was fortunate to see John in concert many times. The one that stands out is one he did at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in NYC around 1981/82.

Watch his outdoor special and you can see him sing it live with band. It's wonderful 😊

John Denver simply the best.

Enjoyed your video. This song was my beautiful soul mates and I song. After 20 years together, and the day after our anniversary, my beloved really did die in my arms after a terrible tragedy. My heart is broken, and when I hear this song, the tears flow which I cannot stop. You are so right to treasure every moment you have, because it can be taken away so quickly. Thank for listening to this song. It means a lot to many people. With respect Nathan

"take a whiff of that love..." Well said brother.

John graduated from one of the high school's that I went to but graduated about a decade or so before I did. John was playing and singing.

JOHN DENVER "CALYPSO"...NUFF SAID.

Those strings make u weep With his voice And those words

When he said "let me die in your arms" my heart dropped

It’s such a beautiful song.

They don't write songs like this anymore and that too bad, we could sure use some love being expressed these days.

The part where he sings "let me love you again" refers to his wife and him having just come together again after a turbulent time in their romance. His feelings for her and the landscape around him filled up his senses and he wrote the song in his head on the ski lift going up the mountain. A lot of his songs are about their up and down relationship. "Leaving on a jet plane" is an obvious one. Unfortunately their relationship did not last, but his love songs will last forever.

❤❤I love this song!!!!RIP❤❤❤

His voice is so clear and beautiful. Great reaction.

Perfect pitch , timbre and vibrato , just take it all in !!!! ❤️🥰🤩😢😭

John Denver was amazing, I am so happily married and God is good.

John! John's voice is so soothing! He could calm the savage beast! My all time favorite song is My Sweet Lady. Then Sunshine On My Shoulders. For a lighter side Thank God I'm A Country Boy! John's a good rabbit hole to explore! Great reaction!

An intimate, moving song about married love would probably not fly in popular music today (maybe in country music). John wrote this song after a fight with his then-wife, Annie Martel. To hear a grown man pour out his heart about how much his wife means to him and comparing her to the beauty he finds in nature would get laughed at today, but this was a huge Number One for Denver and people could relate to it.

Thank you! John Denver has been a part of my life, everyday, since 1971. I believe you would love "Rocky Mountain High" and "Sweet Surrender.' I will be out here waiting patiently for your next John Denver reaction. He is worth the wait. God Bless. P.S. His song MATTHEW is a much overlooked, underplayed song that tells of love, friendship, and the bible as the foundation of what gets us through the hardest times.

I was in middle school when my brother’s cancer returned in his bones. He was in his second year of university, and his girlfriend, whom he had been dating since right before his brain cancer diagnosis, was starting university at the same institution. They both returned home to face his treatment. At the time, it was thought he had only months, so they wanted to marry earlier than they were planning, to have as much time together as possible. My brother’s girlfriend was under the age of consent in our state (she graduated high school a year early,) so her parents would have to agree, but my brother and his girlfriend would require their consent anyway. As you can imagine, they consented, so a rushed wedding occurred in the minister’s home. My brother wore his best suit, and his girlfriend had already picked up her wedding gown, so I was in one of the bedrooms with her, helping her get ready. I ended up being her maid of honor that day, since the wedding happened so fast. I walked ahead of her down the hall, to where my brother and minister stood, as Annie’s Song played.

Beautiful tribute to his love Hope you love love you

John played 6 and 12 string guitar, usually 12 string on Annies song, electric guitar, piano, fiddle, mandolin. He mainly played his ccoustic guitars or piano in concert, electric in concert for Johnny B. Good. There is a concert in Japan where plays fiddle on Thank God I'm A Country Boy. Also a TV show he did, JD And The Mountains where John plays mandolin while Itzhak Perlman plays violin (fiddle) on a bluegrass piece. And John takes him fishing lol.

Even if you can't sing Sing this to ur woman And watch her eyes as heart goes into bliss Then hold her for what seems like forever Then thank God for her

I'm 62 years old and I've never had that kind of love And that breaks my heart

He wrote so many beautiful songs but my 2 favorites are "The Wings That Fly Us Home" and "Follow Me".

Somebody's already told you, I'm sure, but he's playing the guitar.

His given name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., in 1943, not in the mountains of Colorado but in Roswell, New Mexico.

That was a love song/ballad.

A glorious song, lovely lyrics! Yes Annie was his wife and they split after this song. I’d be hard pressed to leave a man who wrote this about me!

John wrote Annie's Song in 10 minutes on a ski lift in Aspen. John could play the 6 and 12 string guitar, the electric guitar, the fiddle. John and Annie divorced in1982 but remained good friends. Annie never remarried.

Love John he wrote this after a fight with his wife, pure poetry. You should check out his movie with Goerge Burns " Oh God". Merry Christmas and Enjoy

Devin, I don't know if you were aware of it, but John was actually flying the plane that crashed and killed him. The report was that the plane started having engine trouble and it's always broken my heart what he may have went through. 💔 😪

Thank you. Your reaction is epic.

I miss him.

John Denver was the best❤

I just noticed the words on your shirt. They are at the Y where I do water aerobics. I read them multiple times each class I'm in.

Think of the descriptions, it's lovemaking. ❤

Fantabulous reaction bro ❤

I just love your reactions!! Thanks for doing this special song to those of us that grew up loving John Denver

Devin. Thank you. My wife of 20 years (my love) died in a motor vehicle accident when a drunk driver hit her and killed her and my 5 year old daughter. This was my daughter’s (and soon thereafter my wife and my) favorite song. Just don’t know what to say. Thank you

You would love his duet with Olivia Newton-John called Fly Away.......

a song I requested to be played at my wedding receiption ! I played this to my Liza when she passed away in my arms in 1991...just to let you know cancer stinks brother

I know that Love , it fills my heart every day, from the moment i open my eyes and see my loving wife.
