The greatest love song ever made. And John was an amazing singer.RIP John🌹❤️❤️❤️…!!!

@DanielFrost21 Год назад

One of the greatest love songs ever written. So many amazing lines

@Eyes-of-Horus Год назад

Sadly, the the reality is that the love didn't last very long. Almost from the beginning of Denver's marriage to Annie he was involved in incessant affairs. After years of that she finally divorced him.

@SpikeMatthews Год назад

Nah. THE best.

@penderyn8794 Год назад

Written for his wife Annie and it was lovingly played at his daughters wedding. He had long since passed but his song made him present.

Funny how the most beautiful love songs were written/sung by those truly in love.

@justafreethinker Год назад

That is, and always will be, one of the greatest love songs of all time from my favorite musician of all time. Once belittled by the music industry, John has had the last laugh. Finally he is getting the respect he deserves from the newest reactors, from this generation, and I couldn't be happier that the young people of today are realizing the timeless songwriting and singing of John Denver. RIP John, you are truly missed!

Like a storm in the desert ...what a line

@jamesferris4573 Год назад

John Denver wrote this song to his wife Annie after the couple had had an argument. They lived in Aspen Colorado and John went skiing after the argument to cool off. The song was written by John while he was on the ski lift and he sang it to her when he returned home. This is the story that Annie told on a show about John Denver"s life and career.

@mikemiller3069 Год назад

John Denver's ex-wife, Annie was from Minnesota and her parents owned a restaurant near where I went to college. I went there for a sorority event with a girl who invited me. About storms in the desert; while they may be dangerous (flash flooding, etc.) while they happen, the desert blooms beautifully after the storm.

@magiminiland1140 Год назад

There is a video of an open-air concert he gave in Ireland. When he got to this song, he sang it in Gaelic from memory.

@paulineh4019 7 месяцев назад

John also sang Annies Song in about 7 or 8 other languages, in the countries he was performing in. Including Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Welsh, and I've forgotten the others. Amazingly talented and connected person.

@donnamoskowitz4978 Год назад

I'm crying! Because we lost a true artist when John passed. Your reaction and comments were wonderful! He was a naturalist, love for this planet and the people! I was on vacation in Aspen and visited his memorial garden. So tranquil and simplistic. His quotes were etched into large rocks throughout the garden. Some people just lying in the grass. Some lying on blankets. Some with their dogs! Just being still and enjoying nature! Thank you so much for sharing!!! Love from Texas!

@glennastadler2523 Год назад

His first wife Annie has helped to commerate John's life & songs by making a Park in Colorado where you can see & hear songs done by John.

This song is the biggest hit in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 people just loved it

@Manolo0528 Год назад

The song was written for his 1st wife as pretty much everybody as said. John & Annie divorced because “too young & fame came too fast for them to handle it” or “being on the road pulled them apart” according to them. John’s 2nd marriage was a short-lived disaster despite the the fact that it produced a child (John’s 3rd child- the other 2 were adoptees with Annie).

@smg85051 Год назад

I saw John Denver in concert at Arizona State University in 1977; No Smoking Of ANY KIND was one of the first things he said to the audience. It was still a great concert.

@georgefry5334 Год назад

I believe that the story goes that he wrote this song for Annie after they had a major argument and he was on a ski lift in Aspen. He wrote this in about 10 minutes.

@timhelgeson7453 Год назад

The Wildlife Concert is absolutely amazing. I can watch it over and over again. Miss John tremendously!

@stephenhanft1226 Год назад

"Annie's Song" is one of John Denver's very best songs. It was written for his first wife, Annie. As Momma Gap would say, "Beautiful Love Song". Surprising, this is not Annie's favorite John Denver song. In an interview, she admitted that her favorite John Denver song is "Perhaps Love". You should react to that song next. You'll love it.

@generationgapreacts Год назад

Great idea Stephen!

@jericoba Год назад

That is a great recommendation. It's another amazing song by him.

@llanitedave Год назад

"Perhaps Love" is my favorite song of his as well. Never a big hit, but great art is not always commercial.

@mnomadvfx Год назад

Ironically both songs use a comparison between love and the ocean, albeit in different ways - with Perhaps Love delving into a greater, less romantic, more wholistic appraisal of love. That being said it was made to be performed with Placido Domingo as it is on the studio track, I don't think it could sound right live.

@mnomadvfx Год назад

@@llanitedave Point of fact the greatest art is seldom truly commercial, or 'pop' in the music sense.

@Anton-ss1in Год назад

The best concert I ever went to, 3 hours straight and he never took a break. The band took 4 breaks while John just sat , played and talked.

@daveyboy8088 Год назад

The ONLY concert I've ever been is John Denver in 1992? in Boise, Idaho. Wow! 3 hrs easy with the Hell's Canyon quartet (classical quartet) playing in the interlude. He chatted us up during the breaks!

@richardwhite2344 Год назад

John Denver could not be more missed!!! Such a one and only!!

@victoryak86 6 месяцев назад

Well said. Such a gorgeous voice and singular song writer. I wish he were still here.

@tsch38301 Год назад

Ha ha, he says after the interlude "sing with me" and not a peep from anyone. They just want to hear his golden voice. I've heard this song a thousand times and it's one if the few songs I won't sing with just to hear his voice and passion for his wife Annie. What a loss when he left us. The angels gather around in heaven to listen to JD sing. RIP.

@user-xn7no8do8b 3 месяца назад

Actually we did sing along. He was using a highly directional mic so the audience singing was suppressed.

@j0hnn13K Год назад

"The man with the golden voice" that says it all.

@kermitcook8498 Год назад

❤❤❤ This is my favorite waltz. John wrote this for Annie after they had a fight to win her back. It worked for a while, and then she remembered why they didn't always get along. Sad. LEAVING ON A JET PLANE, made famous by Peter Paul and Mary, is my next favorite. Thanks for listening.

John Denver was a singer-songwriter & actor. He had so many great hits in the 70's-80's. Some of his signature songs were "Rocky Mountain High", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm A Country Boy", "Sunshine On My Shoulders", "Grandma's Feather Bed" etc. John appeared in several films & television specials during the 70's-80's, including the 1977 hit "Oh, God!", in which he starred alongside George Burns. Please react to Home Free's version of "Take Me Home Country Roads". It is one of the best covers of this song. They also do a fun version of "Thank God I'm A Country Boy".

John Denver’s wife Annie was from St. Peter, Mn. my birthplace & literally just down the Highway from where we live. I just love his (distinctive) voice….💗 I’m getting chill bumps listening to this song again!!!

@stretch4872 Год назад

I first heard this as a teenager. I built my dreams around finding a woman that could evoke the emotion in me that he pours into this song. It destroyed me when I read about his divorce. I thought after these lyrics and those to "Annie's Other Song", if they can't make it what chance do I have.

@Titus-as-the-Roman Год назад

Thanks! Out-of-the-Box Talent that will never be equaled, Sir just had one too many Demons. Have you heard his song "Calypso", Jacques Cousteau and his research team on the Calypso invited John Denver out an excursion and John, in appreciation put his talented Writing Skills to test, came up with MY Favorite John Denver Song. *- Me after seriously trying a romantic type locker opening (You have No idea how much courage I had to dig way down and find just to do this), what I thought was a nice photo card of Roses just hanging there, approaching her locker between classes, she jumped out and closed the locker door, looked up, saw me grinning and then punched me in the chest as hard as she could muster, stomping off mumbling something about staying out of her business. ????????????

Another song I highly suggest is "Calypso". It's about Jaques Couteau's exploration ship. They had a tight bond through wildlife conservation. Jaques also custom made a diving mask for John with eyeglass lenses so he could see better while diving.

You two need to react to his song Calypso. It is a tribute to Jacques Cousteau's and his ship Calypso. He had a show back in the 70's The Undersea World of Jaques Cousteau. Before there was the Discovery Channel, we old folks had this.

Momma gap…this is a “beautiful love song” with such romantic lyrics and an incredible vocal too ..one you definitely have to check out 😊 Baby gap…you said it doesn’t get any more romantic than Annie’s song but you haven’t heard For You..the lyrics to this for me are the ultimate in a love song and speak of total unconditional love and devotion..in my opinion, possibly and probably the best love song ever written. it would be interesting to see which you think is the more romantic of the two😊.
