On this, the 26th Anniversary of his passing, I send the deepest Love and gratitude to John for all that he continues to contribute to my Life. You are forever in my heart ♥️
Thank you for sharing your love and appreciation for John Craig, I know he deeply inspired your life and your shares continue his legacy as well as yours
He became my best friend when i was 13, in the 70’s, i was lonely and suicidal and John Denver’s music brought me peace and comfort. I was blessed to see him in concert in Oregon a month before his passing, it was like spending the evening with an old friend. And now at 60 years old, his music is a happy and comforting memory of my younger days. I love you, John Denver 💖
My memories of John Denver wonderful music as we travelled in our car in 4 hour journeys to a weekend cottage. I filled my bag with spare batteries so we could play th he taped I had done on my much prized Thorn Radio Cassette player. The children loved John Denver as we did and would sing along till they fell asleep. I always find his voice so relaxing and the sincerity of his words made a wonderful peace in my heart. Thank you for all your amazing music over all these years.
I learned to play guitar with a song book of Johm Denvers greatest hits. I was struggling back then too. Music has been my saving grace. I am your same age and Music isn't Music anymore.
Sing loud, sing proud, sing often, my friend. Let his Spirit live on in you soul, your actions and your heart. He is a healing force...We are kindred Spirits, May peace and serenity envelope you
I saw JD in concert in 1972 in Illinois before he was very famous. There were only about 20 people attending. He called us all up on stage and played for a couple of hours , we listened sang along and talked. It was magical. His music changed my life. I cried all day when I learned of his death. He is still a part of my life and has filled it with love and light for all these years.
So well said! I saw him in concert in Edinburgh years and years ago, he was a wonderful, warm and engaging performer, a beautiful voive and wonderful human being. The world and especially the natural world solely miss him!
I ECHO YOUR WORDS 100%~~I CRIED LISTENING, WATCHING AND MISSING THIS MOST RAREST MAN IN THE WORLD...LOVE YOU, JOHN...YOU WERE TAKEN MUCH TOO SOON. BUT I WOULD SAY THAT, IF YOU WERE 100 YEARS OLD! THAT IS HOW MUCH YOU WERE AND STILL ARE SO VALUED AND SO VERY DEEPLY LOVED. ~~BEV~~ VA
I am in my mid 60's and have loved John and his music since my early teens. I was heartbroken when he passed. The world lost an awesome artist that day. At least we still have his music.❤❤
I miss his wise & beautiful music so much. Sure could use it now in this crazy world. Thank God for songs like this that still bring so much meaning & peace. Thank you John❤
I just went to the John Denver Celebration in Aspen, Colorado and visited the memorial park John Denver Sanctuary. It's nice to hear this song today. ❤

This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people.
Sometimes, just sometimes we get a glimpse of what heaven must sound like. That’s what I hear when I listen to John Denver and the beautiful voice. The world was a better place for him having been in it.
I remember the first time I heard this song in 1976 when in came out on the Spirit album. It absolutely overwhelmed me with how beautiful it was. Joe Henry’s words and John’s voice were made for each other. Forward to late 2011. My mom had passed away the year before, and my dad followed her in 2011. I was at the gym a few days after the funeral and had my iPod on listening to music while on the treadmill when this song came on. Ended up running with tears coming down my face, particularly at the crescendo, where John sings, “It’s the fire and the wings that fly us home”. Still get emotional to this day. One of my favorite songs and one I’ve asked to be played when at my funeral (Dust in the Wind is the other song).
JOHN a wonderful human being who flew to the home of Heaven on the wings of an eagle 🦅!! 😢 But FOREVER in our Hearts 💕!! We never alone!! With love ❤️ and peace!! Isa from Italy
Choked me up at .28 when he said "finished in my lifetime". John left us all too soon less than 4 years later in 1997 but left us these precious songs.
I was honored to hear John in concert twice . He was amazing and his voice was so beautiful. Thankfully we can still hear him through his recordings. Rest in peace
John Denver was one the G.O.A.T.- greatest of all time musicians to ever grace this earth! His talent and voice are greatly missed by me and many others as well! R.I.P.💔 ~~12-31-43 - 10-12-97~~
Hi voice was comforting and so smooth...angelic...i listened to him for hours at a time...there was never a song i didnt love.. He is so missed in this world because it was a better place when he was here. God bless you John..your music and you will live on forever
As much as I thought I knew about John before his untimely passage into death, I had not known about this story or song before. With all of John's songs playing for the masses, this one stands out as the most powerful song he ever sang. And then,.....there's his voice that can set your feet upon the earth or lift you above the clouds. At damn near the same time. ❤
I was fortunate to attend LIVE concerts of John Denver, mostly in Indpls, IN. I had a friend who went to CO every summer to help him with his garden project; she was so dedicated to him b/c of his CORE values & who he was as a person. I've heard we're going to get to see him again, soon. As soon as the EVIL has left the planet; John's going to sing to us once again. Glory Hallelujah.
I first heard John Denver in the early 70s. I ABSOLUTELY love his music!. I will never forget my wife waking me to tell about Johns passing!!. His songs tell such BEAUTIFUL stories!!. I sing his songs often!!
So so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ …. Such an amazing singer John Denver was …. I’m sure he’s singing in Heaven today …. What priviledge it will be to see and hear him again in Heaven …. I miss him singing so much 😢😢😢 ….. Fly high John !!!
I was not then, and am not now particularly enamored of folk music . . . except for John Denver. His voice always spoke to my soul, and I still miss him. RIP, John.
I miss you John. You’re voice has comforted me since childhood. Thank you for gracing us all with your life, voice and music. 🎵🎶 Now I know you sing in heaven with my mother. ❣️❣️
Simply Wow, is all I can say. There are so many people that I knew and served with, as well as family members who have passed. Everyone of them flowed through my memories like water in a stream, as I listened to this incredible piece sung by John Denver. RIP
What a performance, what a song. I find solace in his words ~ endless comfort through his music. His powerful voice emits healing on a core level. He's a national treasure and soothing soul.
I miss his talent so much. I saw him perform at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Washington the year before his accident. I had front row seating and he was so good. At the end of the show he was waving to the audience. I waved at him and he waved back. After the show I bought all of his music collection that I could find. I play his music often and I believe he lives on somewhere. He was special!❤
También yo. Podría escucharlo todo el día. Él y Steve Perry lo mejor, sus voces son increíbles!!!!! Nunca me cansó de escucharlos, ambos me emocionan hasta las lágrimas. Q.E.P.D John. Bendiciones para tu vida Steve Perry. 🙏🙏🙏❤🇨🇱
John Denver will live forever with his music and words they are priceless. I grew up listening to John Denver and had the privilege of seeing him in concert at a very young age of 16. Beautiful song.
Those of "2024" please report with a like, those who still listen to this beautiful music. ❤ Spectacular, that is music, I was transported to those unique moments when music was enjoyed both dancing and singing it, there was no that obscenity, that vulgarity, we were happy until they came to destroy our fun thank you so much for this gift this medley of such pleasant memories
I adored John Denver. I was so sad when he died. It is 2024 and I am feeling sad and nostalgic thinking of the people I have lost to death in the past and will in the future. I am creating a mix for myself of grieving songs that I am in the mood to listen to from time to time. This is one day after we lost Toby Keith to Cancer. This is 9 months after losing my mom to dementia. Wow...30 yrs since we lost John Denver. So many people dying from Covid...but none of mine thankfully...but so many did. Life is for the Living...with room for the Grieving that we will all go thru someday too often. Hold your loved ones tight.
Agreed, well said, John's pure sweet voice still moves me like no other. He was just too good for this world, I'll always miss him💔 & always cherish his music as a precious gift💖🤟🏼✌🏼
He was such a special person, so spiritually connected as so many artists have been, as so many who struggled in this world were. Hearing this powerful song with his amazing voice in these days and times of craziness makes me cry. To wish for such love and hope in these turbulent times on this planet is a desperate prayer. May you always experience the love you tried to share with us while you were with us. May Love Always Win!! 😢❤
Can’t believe this beautiful person with such a wonderful talent is no longer with us…..he helped me some turbulent times and I miss his voice and beautiful music so much…❤
I sure miss seeing him singing!! I can't believe it has been over 25 years since he has been gone. He was a remarkable and amazing singer. No one has God given the gift of singing then John Denver!!
I can't say that there are a lot of celebrities/entertainers that I miss, but I really miss John Denver. I remember that I couldn't sleep late one night and sat down on the floor in my bedroom next to my stereo and put on one of his albums. The next day I heard that he had died in that horrifying plane crash. That hurt my soul and still does to this day.
Cannot believe it’s been 26 years. So so sad to lose this talent. Was lucky to see him in concert here in UK, his music is still my first go-to to listen to. Never get tired of his beautiful voice and lyrics x❤
•💟• I am glad for John, that he is with GOD and JESUS. No more of this worlds troubles and trials. I miss him very much. 🎶🎶🎤🎶🎸🎶🎹🎶🎻🎶🎶 🕯 It will be grand when that day comes for all believers to be reunited in love, for eternity. In, GOD'S Good time. We must trust GOD'S plan and timing....and HIS Love for all of us. Until then, keep your eye on the sparrow........and Love. • 💚 🕊 🌿 • •💟•
I have been listening to John Denver since I was in my twenties, I am now in my seventies and I still love him. I have known 🙏Jesus for about 30 years but never heard this song, it's beautiful very appropriate for today ❤
My all-time favorite singer. In the mid-70s, I took guitar lessons. I told the teacher that I didn't want to learn by notes, I wanted to be able to pick & sing John Denver songs. The first I learned was Sunshine On My Shoulders. Sang his songs to guitar & piano for many years. John Denver's songs go straight to my heart, & I sure miss him.
A great ballad song John Denver has a powerful beautiful voice that touches everyone's heart around the world great song writer great guitar player. I miss John Denver's great songs of country his senses humor he was taken from us way to soon of life. I love you John Denver RIP 😎🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🌹🌹❤️❤️😥🏋️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🎸🎸🌹
*John was the first concert that I ever went to. He played with the Starland Vocal Band in the early 70's. This man and his music 🎶 made a HUGE impact on my life as a kid!! I learned a great deal about the importance of nature, the earth, 🌎 our ocean, environment and the simple things in life. I grew up listening to and playing his music 🎶 on my guitar. 🎸 His music 🎶 not only touched my heart, but it touched and spoke to my soul. Every single time that I see an eagle 🦅 I think of John and I knew what a blessing it was to live feet from a nest of eagles 🦅 that returned year after year!!*
@user-zk8iy9ug8m *I have been a fan of John's music 🎶 for over 50+ years. I have been through while traveling but never actually visited Colorado. Hopefully, I will get to visit one day!!*
Somewhere back in the early seventies I heard a little song that would forever change my life, that song was Annie's Song. I was barely 10 years old and didn't really know the love he sang about. What I did know was that for some reason that song, that voice, and that man spoke to my heart. I have been a JD fan since those days. I wept when he and Annie divorced. Someone who feels what he felt in that song...how could they not love each other anymore? Through the years I remained an avid fan. When he died I cried for days, I had lost a family member, and part of my heart. Today, almost 50 years after that first song, I am still a fan of John's music, his voice touches me like no other. I think about what the years would have brought for him , would he have found the peace he seemed to be searching for....we will never know but what we, JD fans know is that his music brought peace to our souls, if only for a little while.
On I miss his beautiful self. Thank God he left us with his beautiful songs and a voice that reaches deep into the soul of all who listen. You will never be forgotten John Denver!
I saw John Denver in concert many years ago. The curtain opened to 3 guitars, 1 piano and John. He held 800 people in the palm of his hand for two hours 30 minutes. I will never forget him. I felt like he was singing to ME. ❤
As a child I had a record collection even Sony would be proud of. Listening to this man on vinyl in my bedroom….nothing could touch my soul like he could. When the moments of trauma and sadness took over, his music soothed my soul. Life can be treacherous but finding the things that feed your soul & heart ❤️ is just a beautiful thing ❤ JD ❤️
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there are some pain I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people
There is not one song of dear John that I don't love but this one in particular always goes to the core of my being 😢 so deeply spiritual .so sad I could not get the piano score for it. God bless him I still miss him so much.
I have loved John Denver as a singer and poet from a very early age. He touches all hearts and cheers and soothes each one. A friend and I used to send each other letters and emails and it was all made up of JD words from songs and cheered us up when we were busy at work or having a bad day. He will always be remembered, but especially today. ❤
