I spent my life and career working for the US National Park Service as a Ranger. These places do exist. I have seen them. Please protect the wilderness, we lose more every day.
I have retired now, and my wife of 50 years and together found our own peace.
7:39 There are so many powers determined to destroy this world for a few bucks. Right now a copper mine is being proposed right next to the boundary waters wilderness area in Minnesota 😢. One of my favorite places I've ever been. I go there for a week or two every summer. It sets your heart free. On e they pollute it with that mine you can't bring it back. And the rich guy that owns the mine? What does he care? There is a bad fight coming. The wealthy and powerful need to be reigned in. French Revolution style if necessary 😊
Thank you! I've long enjoyed the National Parks and Forests in California. A couple years back, I took a cross country camping trip with my teenage daughter. We vistited Mono Lake, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon, Sam Houston, Smokey Moutain and Rocky Moutain National parks , plus various state and county parks. Enjoy your retirement. We have a beautiful country. I'm glad I got to enjoy more of it with my daughter. Scorpions, Big Horn sheep, Bears, Alligators, Moose, snakes, frogs, mosquitoes, and big spiders. I love our National Parks.
Yes sir. Will do. Thank you very much!
Watching you today from Denver, Colorado. John Denver and his music are American treasures. I think he is extra special to us in the mountains and high plains.
You bet, 'cause RMH is our State Song! 😁
Hello from Parker, just south of the city :)
I was born i 1960. John is how i feel about america
Denver was a great songwriter, vocalist, guitarist and environmental activist. He is greatly missed.
This song by John was about himself. 15 years ago i left New England on Atlantic coast with my two black lab dogs and went to Rocky Mountains for three months and just explored the beauty. My wife encouraged me to finally take the steps and go. Those two beautiful dogs are gone now but the memories are fresh as if were yesterday. Now i have a Siberian husky and she and i explore the White Mountains of New Hampshire making new discoveries and memories., John Denver accompanied us every step of the way to this very moment.
i have made several, multiple several, hikes and camping excursions into various national parks. the thing that i most remember is a sign i saw as we went into the grand canyon for an 8 day hike down into, then along the river, and then back out of the canyon. that sign said.... "take nothing but memories.... leave nothing but footprints." words to live by.
Hi from America. Colorado is beautiful. God put me in Michigan. A Michigan is also so beautiful. William s
What a beautiful state and John Denvers voice is amazing 😊
Grandmas Feather Bed....Thank God im a Country boy!!! John Denver treasures!
He loved and appreciated natural beauty everywhere on earth. Singing about your own backyard is where you start.
I've been to Colorado, and the Rocky Mountain High is a real thing. Such a beautiful song, and I enjoyed your réaction.
What you were saying about the US having everything is very correct, especially when it comes to scenery etc. Many people from other nations wonder why most Americans do not travel to other countries etc...we just do not need to. We have every form of scenery etc you can ask for right here in America, beautiful forests, gorgeous mountains, deserts, plains, tropical areas you name it we have it right here in America. Even people who love travelling to the huge cities we have those all over and the small rural towns and farming areas for people who like that.
At the age of 27 John Denver wrote this song "Rocky Mountain High in (1972)." It's about his rebirth when he came upon the State of Colorado in the US. What he saw was the beautiful Rocky Mountain Ranges, Lakes, Rivers, Streams and Abundant Wildlife and Fauna. He later would make Colorado his home for the rest of his life until his passing in 1997. You cannot go wrong going down the Rabbitt Hole that is the late great Singer/Songwriter John Denver. Great reaction as always. I am an empath just like your wonderful husband. Peace and love to you both.
Mountain lakes like that are truly amazing. They are crystal clear. You can see through the water 20-30 feet out. On a trip with my wife and daughter swam in one and the water could be drank right from the lake. So many beautiful places
I've literally been around the world, and there are so many wonderful places and things to see--and from my experience, the vast majority of people are welcoming and beautiful. I'm now living in Colorado for the third time in my life and it is as beautiful as the late great Mr. John Denver portrays it in this song. I would gladly host anyone who would wish to share God's beauty in this amazing place if they would agree to do the same in their home country as I'm sure I was be just as amazed at the beauty of their homeland.
John Denver wrote most of the songs he ever recorded. He did write this one. He became popular in the 70s and early 80s. But I tell you the music from the 1970s was the best ever and very eclectic
My favorite Denver song! John was often referred to as "a song's best friend," and he truly was! Thanks for this one guys, great job!✌️❤️
You should listen to his “Sunshine on my shoulder”…..beautiful!
The rockies are a must see if you ever make it here seeing pikes peek from the garden of the gods is a sight you will never forget and take the drive up pikes peek highway it's awe inspiring
The golden rule among educated campers & hikers is, "Anything you can carry in full, you can carry out empty".
And shoot sasquatch?
I grew up listening to John Denver. He was my first concert @ Red Rocks. I go camping a lot in Colorado in the Rockies, I always have John's song in my head.
I've done a lot of hiking in some of these pictures. John really captured the essence in this song.
I forgot also if you want a great love song you must lesson to John Denver singing ( Annie's Song )
John Denver did so much beautiful music. Loved him. So talented. Gone too soon sadly 😢
Oh God! a 1977 movie starring John Denver and George Burns is also worth looking at. I believe that you would enjoy it.
Great song , and describes many people feeling about the outdoors. Very peaceful. Love it.
"Take Me Home, Country Roads'' is just as powerful and emotional, if not, more than this.
Be well.
This one gets me every time the more i hear it the more i love Its pure Joy to the ears
Imagine John in concert and 10,000+ fans/friends singing along. It was incredible.
I love John Denver so much. My mom listened to him a lot when I was a kid and some of my earliest memories are of singing along with his beautiful voice.
angelagraves865-Me too.Loved him and his songs ❤
I'm fron Oklahoma. My first sight of the Rockies came several hours before I knew I was seeing mountains not a bank of clouds. They're a bit scary from up top looking down. It's is truly beautiful.
I like to walk. I make it a practice to pick up trash along the way. I was raised to be helpful. I also hope if someone notices maybe they'll start doing the same.
I have listened to this song for over 50 years and it is as fresh as the first time. His beautiful voice and beautiful idea of coming home.
Also, listen to The Eagle and The Hawk. Very short, very specific and personal.
The Eagle and the Hawk is amazing. Very John Denver.
@@nightmary
So spirited. So alive. You know that it was based on something John personally saw.
This is a great reaction to a song like this. Makes you take a good look at your priorities. I would also recommend " Country Roads" by John Denver. 👍
John Denver was a treasure. You might like his song "Take Me Home Countrry Roads." 🙂
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it, but, Denver wasn't John's real last name. He loved Colorado so much he adopted Denver as his last name. He also has the distinction of having 2 songs as state songs in America. 'Take Me Home, Country Roads', is the state song for West Virginia, and the one you just listened too is Colorado's. BTW - I love your heartfelt reactions.
It's weird seeing so many of these places with my own eyes, living right next to it all. I've always taken it for granted.
On Mothers Day i think 1991 John Denver showed up as a surprise to his mother at the church i attended because his mom went to the church. The whole church got a surprise performance!! What a great mothers day!!! What a beautiful soul!!
I am an American truck driver and having been in 48 states I have seen some amazing sites. I also have seen some amazing eye sores. I have memories that I hope will never fade and some that I wish would. I have seen the amber waves of grain and the deep scars of mining pits. If you ever come to America look me up in Tennessee and I’ll show you some southern hospitality.
It’s not a place, or a thing, or an idea that bequeaths us serenity, but the grace of choosing acceptance in each and every moment. Wildness both beautiful and fierce.
Yes, I really love his music too. It just reaches into your soul. Another song I really love is "Poems, prayers and promises". Strangely, not many people have reacted to it but those who have, have been deeply touched. Please consider reviewing this song at some time in the future, I would love to see what you think of it.
John Denver was born as Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. but took the performing name, John Denver due to his love for the Rocky Mountains. Denver is the largest city in Colorado.
You entered the rabbit hole. Now keep going! John Denver recorded SO many beautiful songs that you will just love. Please continue on this journey.
I was born in 1958 in Denver Colorado and grew up listing to John my older sister loved him after he wrote this song I became a fan! RIP my sweet lovely Sister I will always love you and will always remember the love you had for John!
John Denver was a talented entertainer, singer, song writer mainly from the 70's.The baby boomer generation were able to hear his songs and enjoy them as they came out hit after hit.Colorado is a beautiful state.Tennessee also has beautiful mountains.
John Denver went to High School here in Fort Worth, Texas. His dad was stationed here in the Airforce.
If you two ever come to America you can stay at my house with my wife and I. I will give you a tour of the great State of Texas.
You two are my favorite reactors.
America has some of the ugliest and the most beautiful places. Of course, Europe also has some of the most amazing scenery also. I lived in the mountains for several years, off grid, back in the early 80's and I share John's love for nature and dedication to being an environmentalist. These photos are absolutely stunning. We do miss John and his lovely voice.
Beautiful song! John Denver was a gifted singer songwriter & actor. He had so many great hits in the 70's-80's. Some of his signature songs were "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Fly Away", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Annie's Song", "Calypso", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" 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.
Hearing this took me back to better times. So glad you enjoyed it, too. Thank you for this one.
You have to check out John Denver live in his ( The Wildlife Concert ) he does all his songs ! It is a great concert I think you will love it !! Take care you guys are great !!
His songs, In A Grand Way, Eclipse & Mathew among others will touch you with the music & lyrics & story telling.
Great reaction.
God bless guys.
Both meanings of 'high' are appropriate for John Denver (AND Colorado LOL) Beautiful voice, beautiful song. I moved to the state a few years after my 27th year. Still here 40 yrs later.
This is the music of my life thank you for showing some love to America
Colorado is beautiful having visited there many times. I live in a part of the USA called New England where we have mountains, Forrest, fields, and the Ocean and the four seasons. America is a beautiful country
Nice reaction and review
Great reaction as always! I remember hearing this song when I was young and enjoying the images it created in my mind. Moved to the suburbs of Denver Colorado in 1983. Once I saw the majestic Rocky Mountains I new I found my new home. Love you both.......wish you were my neighbors!
one of his great songs is "Mathew"
John Denver makes you feel like that Sunshine is always on your shoulders
He is tremendously missed. Such an American treasure❤️
The first time I saw an eagle fly it not only took my breath away it made me cry, I live in Colorado and I'm able to go to the mountains whenever I want, it's somewhere that makes you feel closer to God and gives you absolute peace and serenity!! This song is our state song, its played a lot here!!
Nice one, and great observations. John Denver always gets you going that way.
One of my all-time favorite songs. Also, I wish you two were my neighbors!
I recommend John Denver and Plácido Domingo "Perhaps Love". One of the most beautiful Love Songs!
I am new to your channel, but another environmental song, written about Hawaii, is BIG YELLOW TAXI by Joni Mitchell, another American Treasure. It is short and lighthearted, but one of the first environmental songs I remember.
You guys are so awesome, I can see the joy music brings you and its wonderful .
I love John Denver…and I love you two so much! Thanks for posting this!
Lots of love from the state of Utah, USA. 15:25
Other songs - Poems , Prayers , Promises. Eagle and The Hawk. Country Roads Take Me Home. There's probably more that I can't think of right now - but you can't go wrong with any of his songs.
All his songs come from his travels and experiences.
You have already found your peace, you simply need look no further than one another - everything you need is right there.
Oh my goodness! I hope you DO come visit! If you fly to a nearby airport, I'll join the other throngs of fans that will be sure to greet you.
NOOOOO!!!!! if you're going to do John Denver, you H A V E to do "Hi Calypso" ! That song always make my heart swell, but cry at the same time. And such a beautiful video starring the legend, Jacques Cousteau of course 🙏🙏🙏
By your reaction I can tell that you are both beautiful people. Great job.
I LOVE HIM!!!! HE HAS WRITTEN SO MANY DIFFERENT SONGS TRY THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY BOY NEXT PLEASE!!!!!!
Any John Denver songs are worth spending the time listening to the poetry and his amazing music.
I saw John Denver at Red Rocks Amphitheater outside of Denver in the early 1970's, and at The Grand Teton Music Festival in Jackson, Wyoming in 2001.
An amazing talent. I still listen to his vinyls - 50 years later.
nothing like growing up in the country...have lived in cities bu... back in more or less country again now...well very small town. . . good old song...nice song to sleep into Andrei 😅
Love John Denver and your reaction. When you stop three and a half minutes into it - the shot is of Milford Sound in New Zealand!
There are a few places in America, like Colorado, where people just visit and never leave, becoming captivated by the beauty of them. Stories like this are actually quite common here.
I lived in Romania for a while and married a Romanian Woman. I think Romania is a very beautiful Country. Foarte Frumos.
Do you lovely people feel blessed?I'm sure you do, you have soul & big,big hearts.Bless you.
Truth, Beauty & Goidness always touch the heart somehow.
Oddly in America which is so diverse in its beauty from Coasts to Great Lakes, Mountains, deserts & plains we often look at Europe with the old architecture, the Alps, Austria, Switzerland, the Provence, and rural Poland, Romania, ect seems like heaven to us(me at keast). Cheers. Hope you get outside to enjoy & maybe visit the U.S. some day. Have a glass of wine at a vineyard aling the Finger Lakes in the Autum. Salute!
So beautiful, light up!
I’m just finding you on CZcams
John Denver was a MASSIVE believer in protecting our environment. He was a great musician as well. Thank you for noticing this - I wish more Americans would.
I listened to every word of commentary
Please come to our country when you can. I would love to visit yours as well - Romania?
Wow, thank you! We would love to visit! And you are very welcome in Romania 💚
Finding yourself in nature is what it's all about. Everywhere you are, you can find this kind of stuff. I live in the USA, and I've been in some amazing places here; but I've also seen some amazingly beautiful places in Europe, Asia, and Africa. I also agree with you regarding people leaving rubbish everywhere. My wife and I walk in a park half a KM from our house, and twice a week I bring a bag to pick up the trash that people are too lazy to put into the available bins.
rocky mountains are incredible ..! he captured the view and viewpoint perfectly!
John Denver was not only a musician but a great poet . Listen to Anne's song
Great artist, so many wonderful songs. As for the photos, some shown are of places in the Canadian Rockies, I see Moraine Lake Alberta for sure :) Great reaction video.
The lake in the picture is Mirror Lake in Colorado. It's very real. I love living here. Please listen to John Denver's song Poems Prayers and Promises.
Talked to God, and listened to the casual reply. ......much love to the Merchants of Alba.❤
I drove to Colorado through Texas and New Mexico about 18 months ago. Let me tell you. It's real! I was blown away.
This is one of my all time favorite songs, beautifully written, beautifully sung and the music carries you along on a cloud imagining you are walking with him in the forest. I feel this way about forest… I love your reactions they are pure and honest like this song!!!
John Denver's career in the 1970s coincided with the first environmental movement in the U.S. We passed laws to protect the air and water from pollution and to safeguard endangered wildlife. There was a massive popular movement to stop littering across the country. The schools began to comprehensively teach ecology and environmental sciences. Since then, some of these advances have been eroded, but I grew up during this time -- a time when Americans realized how beautiful our country is and how fragile that beauty is unless we take care of it.
Hi guys, you dropped off my radar. Great reaction, and how lovely that you've recreated to one of my favourite John Denver songs. You're so right, in that this song speaks to your heart in finding that peaceful place inside you. Love the banter.
7:08 That's Mount Rainier National Park near Seattle and I have been hiking there since the mid 1960's.
Wot a beautiful song with such a real heart felt meaning
I noticed that at least a few of the pictures were of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada.
Really like the song by Van Morrison called into the mystic. Then Morrison is an Irish blues singer. Plays quite a few instruments the piano, a guitar the saxophone. And he writes most of the songs he records but listen to van Morris
He felt the Soul of a stolen nature land
After John's divorce from 1st wife Annie, he went through a metamorphosis, and looked deeply into himself, emerging the person we've come to know before his death. The Rocky mountains were his "life" and dedicated most of his time to protecting until his death.
I’m from Denver too I’m glad I came across you reaction page it’s nice to see what you feel about American music Colorado is one of the beautiful places on earth if you get a chance check out any videos of artist playing at red rocks amphitheater you will never find a better place to see a concert it should be on everybody’s bucket list
The first picture you stopped at is of Pike's Peak, I think. You're right. There's so many beautiful places in the U. S. A.
Yes, Colorado is truly beautiful, and so is my home of almost 45 years here in Alaska! That said, I just happen to know that Romania has a lot of natural beauty as well! Make sure to celebrate the beauty around you and hopefully one day you will get to visit some of the natural beauty in North America! Always enjoy your reactions....cheers!
