Those were the times they were. In 1976 a guitarist and singer sang Annie’s song at our wedding as my wife was coming down the aisle. I cried then and 48 years later we are still together and much more in love with each other. Thanks John for the memories and your wonderful talent.
We had Annie's song at our wedding too, 1979, we also had I want to live. We had 42 years when i lost my husband, adore that man still. John's wonderful music always brings him closer to me.
He was such a gifted and talented gentleman, I remember him stating I an interview that it took 10 minuets to write the lyrics to Annie’s song in an elevator going to meet up with his new wife n their hotel room such a loss off talent
He died in an aircrash. So this song has more meaning than you can hear. He had to leave much to early but he left back songs that are timeless. Thank you, Mr. Denver!
I saw him in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1983. To this day, this concert is the best one I’ve ever been to. No back up band. No back up singers. Just John and 3 guitars. There is nobody like him and no one who has ever had a more pristine voice.
The world sure has changed since this peaceful man left us. How I wish I could go back to those days when he was with us. Rest in peace to the body of John Denver. I know his spirit lives on somewhere!
I remember leaving for Vietnam at 18 , waiting for my taxi and this song came on the radio and she started crying terribly and I tried to comfort her , telling her I wouldn't be in combat I served 2 tours in the 1first & 25 infantry div. Felt terrible for my dear Mother , my brother before me also served on Nam ! Just a Nam Vet Tom
*You don't hear this music on the radio anymore so I came here to get my younger years back I'm 66 yrs old thanks to everyone that is listening to these oldies but goodies ✨😊*
Songs like this make me sad … only because you don’t hear songs like this anymore.. John Denver was such a great songwriter and singer…. It’s so ironic what he says right before he performs this song. Especially knowing he died in a plane crash …. Rest easy John Denver the world was a better place when you were in it.. 🙏💔🙏💔
What I have always liked about John' songs are that you can hear the words clearly they are not drowned out by the music. So many songs about the importance of love, the environment and the places where we live ‐Alaska, West Virginia, Alberta, Colorado and the simpler lifestyle. Cycled the Us and Canada twice inthe 1980s and a lot of hissongs kept me inspired when days were marked by headwinds or hill climbs or long stetches of relatively uninteresting countryside.
I was born in the streets . Im in a brother-hood . Im a Marine . I always did things in a bad A$$ way . Then i heard of Johns music . I found a new way of facing life right away . His message gave me the strenght to live a happy life . Thank You Mister Denver 😊
Thank YOU! I know, wasn't this man great?? I was sooo lucky to have seen him at Universal Ampitheatre. I made my brother Pete listen to him, to take a little edge off his 60s Marine self- I finally saw it got through, he is part-time forest service in Bend, Oregon! So, thank you, too, John Denver.
Music is a medicine to the soul, I'll be 32 soon, and I'm glad that I grew up listening to this man and many more relevant artists. I feel so connected to an era that I was not even part of, but these types of music are endless, and I'll make sure that my kids grow up listening to them too ❤
I sang this old guitar at a talent show in highschool..I was 17 years old... before I went on stage I had been in the men's bathroom practicing the song and making sure I was in tune...there was a young lady who had slipped into the men's bathroom to just stand behind a wall to listen to me ...I didn't know she was there and when I finished the song she appeared and had tears coming down her cheeks..she said that she was moved by my playing and singing..and that's what I always wanted as a performer was to move people and make them feel alive.. i was driving on my way to work when it was announced that it was indeed John who has died in the plane crash...I pulled off to the side of the road and wept..we all sure miss you John....🎸🎸🎸
It's so sad to think this beautiful soul is no longer with us. What a treasure it would have been to have him with us today. Saw John in Dublin and he was amazing. Ar dheis dé go raibh a anam dílis. Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪.
A TRUE American Legend.....his music....his legacy will endure for a VERY...VERY long time....this man was years ahead of his time....the things John spoke of....sang about and represented are only now being understood....a kind...sincere man....may he always be at peace...🙏
I had to get on a plane while serving in the USAF...leaving my wife and kids behind. It was very hard to fight back the tears. This song captures the essence of what I felt getting on that jet plane.
I love so MANY John Denver songs. I used to play them on the piano back in the day, many moons ago! Ive missed his beautiful voice. I remember the day he died!💔 R.I.P.
When I go on holiday to Thailand, i always play this tune on my last night before I go home, no one can predict the future, but no one will forget John Denver ❤❤
Absolutely perfect….what I wouldn’t pay to see just him and his guitar on the stage again. We were all so blessed to witness John’s God given talents to sing and make beautiful music with the simplest yet most ingenious lyrics.
This beautiful song is also the story of my life. I retired from the U.S. Government as a Federal Air Marshal, after longing more than 5.5 Million Air Miles over six continents. I have seen and experienced so much in my flying time. And , I missed out on so much in regards to my family. I’ll never get that time back, pros and cons of it all. I’m fortunate my children have turned out so well. Some of my co-workers, weren’t as lucky.
Los grandes nunca se van pues su legado perdurara de por vida eso lo tienen los grandes y leyendas y el sr Denver sin duda es uno de ellos muchas gracias por el video saludos desde 🇪🇦💪
In my 20 years as a happily married Field Engineer, 2-week, 4-week or 3-4 months those departures were heart wrenching and very relatable to his song. Glad those days are long done with. We look forward to years before I ever depart like that again, it eventually will come again.
I remember listening to John when I was a teenager. His songs and voice are timeless. So sad He is no longer with us. I love grandma's old Feather bed song. God bless you John 🙌✝️
Hope my first grandson is listening to this when I am long gone to the autumn mist, great memories of the song and my granda growing up in the 70s.R.I.P. Dinny 💙🇮🇪☯️✌️
& Won't it be .... a GREAT BLESSING for *future GENERATIONS to SHARE ❤John Denver's Music & knowing their Ancestors *also had the same privilage ... many years ago ❤
Diesen Song hören, bricht mir das Herz - es waren die besten Jahre damals mit meiner Heidel, die 2022 starb... Wunderschöne Erinnerungen, die nun wieder wach werden.
I always think of this song during deployments. We can never go back to change the past. Military life is definitely hard on each family member. Cherish each person in your life, you never know when you'll be gone.
28 October 2023 Hi Royeby, Thank you for your service and the sacrifices you and others make for our country! Yes, military life is very hard on our families. I don’t think people really understand how difficult it is on the service-members and their loved ones. My dear husband was separated from our family for 7 years during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, until he was medically discharged in 2009. He was not the same man when he came back, (many medical and emotional issues) but I am so thankful we had him for as long as we did… Due to his injuries He finally couldn’t go anymore, and my dear Husband went to be with the LORD in January 2022. 💔 I miss him SO much, and I think about him everyday! If you are reading this please pray for me and our seven children who greatly miss him too, along with so many others who love Him! You are in my prayers, along with our fellow comrades! I was also in the Marines, and I used to cry every time my mom brought me to the airport… This song was extremely emotional for me on many different levels. May God be with you and your loved ones, and all those who are defending “we the people,” who stand for Truth, Justice, and Freedom for All! My heart also goes out to the innocent souls being affected by the wars going on in the world today! It’s so heartbreaking to see the death and destruction! 😭💔I so look forward to the Day, when “death is swallowed up in Victory ,” when the LORD Jesus comes back! Until then, may I, and all those who love the LORD, be a beacon of Light to show others the way to Eternal Life in Heaven with Christ Jesus our LORD! With the love of Christ, C. Read
No, the past can never be changed, how true. We have to accept things what have gone wrong be grateful for the good memories and cherish the time we have thanking the Lord for his blessings 🙏
Thanks for sharing... the great John Denver... I have a portrait of him (on the wall above me) I found for sale in a charity shop... amazingly it was drawn and signed and dated on my birthday in 1980. (I was 30).
@@josephfuller9366a young man that had longer hair, was homeschooled, had a big family, and won The Voice a few years ago. I just can place his name, but he could do folk music very well. His voice was like Johns. Now I have to research his name again.
