How fortunate to have lived at a time when God bestowed the most beautiful human into our collective hearts and spirits. John represents the very best of humanity and one can't help but believe he was divinely inspired and even Heaven would pause and bow to his spirit. John was infinitely more than the creator of beautiful music and lyrics that touched the fabric of our hearts, he sowed the seeds of truth and brought awareness to issues many of us were impervious. John entertained large audiences where there was such a love and respect, you could feel the positive energy that permeated the entire auditorium. His presence alone is like non other I've experienced in my 64 years, everyone felt inspired and so joyful that his beautiful music was only a means to an end to bring this presence of peace and a sustaining change within our hearts. I doubt there will ever be another John Denver and as I look back upon my life, how blessed to have lived during the most magical moments of life due too the nexus of John's life and the incredible sustaining transformation in the lives of millions. God's Infinite and Eternal Peace John! Bobby
Bob, what a wonderful and sentimental summary of what I too experienced through John's music. I was just starting high school when JD got his big break and I was captivated at the emotion he was able to bring to life through his songs. I waited with anticipation for his albums to be released and I had them all. The world lost a gentle soul when he passed away at such a relatively young age.
@@RichD22554 Thank you so much, Rich, for your kind response. You and I indeed share an affinity, and I can't think of anything I love more than playing the acoustic guitar and playing and singing John's songs. John's close family member and I recorded Late Winter, Early Spring, and I will post it here on CZcams along with some other songs I play fingerstyle. Rich, thank you, my brother, and I always wish you God's Peace! Bobby
so many of my friends could not understand my affection for John Denver,,,but I said listen to his lyrics and listen to his voice..different, but wonderful.. his love for nature, people, and his lyrics tell how he feels about life, nature, and love.
I had the same feeling, we JD fans are as different as JD was and we understand his words because we listen to them, so many people would not even hear his words and even if they did they would not feel the way JD fans do. Hard to explain but that is the way I see it. The depth of meaning, the depth of feeling and above all the transparent honesty in his songs together with music to die for.
"And I need you to know that I'm always here for you, any day, any night, any time..." All that real love is, captured in just one line...that was John's magic.
Its been over 15years since you left us john,but i tell you you will never be forgotten,you touched so many people the best singer and song writer every we all miss you john.
John wrote the most incredible, unique love songs, espeically for Annie. I don't think he ever got over her. Thanks for keeping his music and spirit alive. I cherish his music and the life he lived.
Thank you for the memories 1972 it all began your songs became my diary of my life we move so much five kids no dad your music got me through so much if I hear a song I know exactly what I was doing and were I was living laughter and tears breakups and lost of loved ones and the birth of my son. Thank you for getting me through with your music rest in peace you songs are in my mind and heart and soul.
The thought of you brings back so many memories, suddenly i,m transported back to the day i met a very special man, who is sadly no longer with us, thank you John Denver, i miss you xxx
Yep. Prob still loved Annie so much. Real love never ends. It may have to sit in the background if someone ends it but it doesnt mean the one left stopped loving.
I was a kid when John Denver passed on to his next journey, but my own children find comfort in his voice and music. He was an angel. A protector and lover of the land. I have nothing but respect for that man.
It´s a verry nice Song. I love this Song so much. I love all songs of John Denver. If I see him and hear his voice, I beginn to dream and forget all around me. I never forget him. GOD BLESS YOU JOHN
Imagine having him as a teacher!!! I´ll realy missing him! I realy want to be close to play like him! And have the positive thoughts he had! What a human beinge, what a loss! I´ll always rember you john Denver
A simple and yet so touching song with the unforgettable John Denver ! When ever I‘m looking for clarity in my life, this song is there for me !! Thank you John, may be you sing with the angels now. 😍
How lucky we are to have these musical treasures to enjoy from John's heart.Ty sir u touch our souls it makes for warm smiles!!! Being in love is so human ,we need it, the ups and downs are hard at times but loving another makes us whole,we are then complete. 🙏
Such a beautiful song, delivered as only John Denver could present it. Hearing this, we recall his talent and say "Thanks John... It's nice to enjoy this Thought Of You."
Love this beautiful song. love can feel painful. we may long for the loved one-- sometimes held apart - just out of reach. People don't have to be actual physical lovers to feel that longing. As close friends, They may never touch each other -yet hearts may be at times very close.
what a wonderful song. It reminds me of all the things I learned about myself through John's songs. He put so much into each and every song. If you listened carefully you could hear so many emotions coming through.
Man. we really lost something when he passed on. I've never heard this song before now. And I'm a pretty big fan. I just have this hunch he never fell out of love with Ann, listening to his songs.
I was very touched by your comment Irene. You are an amazing woman. I agree with you that true love never ends and JD would agree as well. As he sang, “I don’t believe that true love ever ends.” Unfortunately, our loved ones can hurt us more than anyone else can. However, they have their agency to make their own decisions. To forgive someone after they’ve wronged or hurt you so deeply, as you’ve described, is a form of godliness. Stay strong! Know that God is with you and will make things right by you in the future.
My husband&I started attending John's concerts WAYBACK-1967! We had just moved 2 MN 4 my husband 2 start grad school.JD did a Benefit 4 a student gymnast who was inj aft a school competition& became a quadraplegic We moved a lot but SAW him every year wherever we were-MN,VA,CA,DC,FL till he died but never heard him do this song till now. Prob a good thing or I would have jumped on stage 2 kidnap him.It is perfectly John-bittersweet! I can't believe he left us16 yrs ago tomorrow.RIP in our
An amazingly deep and soulful song. That is what made John such an amazing song writer/entertainer. He was so completely polished and some how made everyone feel like he was singing JUST to them.. He was one in a million
I cannot agree more with Bob J. I was but 12 when I learned Rocky Mountain High on the 6 string acoustic guitar. Some 50+ years later - I still love to pick his songs... I have Bobby McGhee to thank for teaching me the song too - no kidding on the name - but a good, solid friend - we both on a journey in our lives that brought us together - long enough for me to learn to play this on a vintage Yamaha FG-175 - Thanks Bobby...
wooow, i love this song very much, i love all songs of john denver, i never forget him, he is deep inside my heart. if i see him on video or hear his voice, i begann to dream. JOHN I NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!! THE THOUGHT OF YOU!!!!!!!!
Ditto, perfect in every way the man and the voice John denver so unique the most beautiful man in the universe he makes me happy when I see him and hear him , but sad because he is not hear to tell him how much I love and miss him love always and in my heart for ever Paula xxxxxxxxxx
Aloha John Denver and chiphead12 !!! Thanks for posting this love song "The Thought Of You." I love how you sing !!! Your songs touch my heart and soul !!! A grateful fan, Robert S.J. Hu August 20, 2020.
I miss him so, he saved me so many times and I wish I knew what else was to come as he had so much more to write and so much more to do. We will never know. Thank you John.
I had my favorite place-prob Wolf Trap in Vienna,VA (even though it was THE LastPlace we saw him-JULY1997. Just mos b4 his TRAGIC accident.We did NOT have tickets because we were going 2B away.When our plans changed, I called my husb@work&told him 2 meet me@Wolf Trap.He said 'we couldn't get ticketsREMEBER? &we tried!By the time he arrived,I knew every scalper even if it was quite illegal 4 them.My husb was a BIT UPSET-I didn't care,I HAD 2C John THAT night!Tx GOD 4 MY MIRACLE & BESTseats EVER!
A very beautiful song. First recorded on John's 1983 album "It's About Time." The album had some very beautiful songs. Fortunately, a search will show some good bargains on CDs of this album,
@aplacetohideaway ...i love this song tooo so much..love jd...but this one sure always touches the heart so much, doesnt it?..i wish they had this one at karaoke but they dont..didnt realize what a jd mood i was in ...again.......til i heard this on ur channel!..letssee i thought iwas still in a don williams mood ...now bmaybe its jd again..lol! unfortunately so many of his best are not at karaoke, the ones i know the best..like this one!..u got grreat taste ! hope u have a merry xmas Sharron!
@LeeMadeLee I know a song ,a phrase,or even a smell ,can bring back memories to us all. But, I hope that this beautiful song, brings back happy memories to you. Let your tears fall freely, I'm sure your husband wants to be with you, as much as you want to be with him, until you meet again. :) Keep listening to John, he was a great poet, musician and storyteller.I always think of him as a comfort blanket. No matter how low I feel, I can always find a song to cheer me up and make me smile :)

. . . ‘Another’… is e x a c t l y just ‘what’ he is NOT singing about.
Beautiful sad love song, so much love and so much pain!!! Thanks for sharing. RIP John
Que falta faz um cantor com essa voz nos dias de hoje? Emoção total a flor da pele.
A beautiful song and a beautiful man.
Another awesome song sung beautifully by John,Poet/Singer/Songwriter/Humanatarian/Environmentalist.I Love him always will!
Such a beautiful song, delivered as only John Denver could present it. Hearing this, we recall his talent and say "Thanks John... It's nice to enjoy this Thought Of You."
❤️ he was a blessing and a gift. Gone way to soon.
Most Genuine, Singer Song Writer.
Love this beautiful song. love can feel painful. we may long for the loved one-- sometimes held apart - just out of reach. People don't have to be actual physical lovers to feel that longing. As close friends, They may never touch each other -yet hearts may be at times very close.
Not only did he write beautiful love songs to Annie while they were together but separated /divorced as well. She's one lucky lady.
I didn't know that. Seriously, what a lucky woman!
I do not think he wrote this for Annie, but maybe!
what a wonderful song. It reminds me of all the things I learned about myself through John's songs. He put so much into each and every song. If you listened carefully you could hear so many emotions coming through.
Man. we really lost something when he passed on. I've never heard this song before now. And I'm a pretty big fan.
I just have this hunch he never fell out of love with Ann, listening to his songs.
I don't think Annie completely fell out of love with John either.
I was very touched by your comment Irene. You are an amazing woman. I agree with you that true love never ends and JD would agree as well. As he sang, “I don’t believe that true love ever ends.” Unfortunately, our loved ones can hurt us more than anyone else can. However, they have their agency to make their own decisions. To forgive someone after they’ve wronged or hurt you so deeply, as you’ve described, is a form of godliness.
Stay strong! Know that God is with you and will make things right by you in the future.
I gave my heart to John Denver when I was 16 years' old, and I never really got it back!
+Snowy I was 10 and that was beautiful, how you put that!
I grew up with him since birth,we was going to be married dec97but he passed away in Oct,I've never been the same
he kept it

I love this song so much!!!! I love JD's sincerity and humbleness, does so much singing from his soul.
this was wonderful..just John and his guitar...my favorite way to see him perform....
An amazingly deep and soulful song. That is what made John such an amazing song writer/entertainer. He was so completely polished and some how made everyone feel like he was singing JUST to them.. He was one in a million
Brian Smith ...and a million in one!
His songs touched ones soul in a way very few things in life can
the lyrics it brings tears to my eyes
i havent cried for years
but now i do
Describe God in one word, " Denny"...this man is a pure soul and genius..
I had not heard this before....what a beautiful song!!!!! OH how talented JD was!!!! Miss him so much!
I cannot agree more with Bob J. I was but 12 when I learned Rocky Mountain High on the 6 string acoustic guitar. Some 50+ years later - I still love to pick his songs...

This song reminds me of my first love. Still miss him today.
He was the kindest, most gentle guy I've ever known.
And he died quite young, trying to save a girl that was falling off his balcony. Well done, Ken!
His memory, songs remains in the heart of everyone

The thought of you ~~~~~~~~~~~
@InaudibleSnow Fully agree with you. JD always sang what he felt. Right from the heart.
A very beautiful song. First recorded on John's 1983 album "It's About Time." The album had some very beautiful songs. Fortunately, a search will show some good bargains on CDs of this album,
Doesn't it seem that they would rerelease that if folks are willing to pay so much for it
@@lorettaschaefer6652 I did find a CD version on ebay. Very reasonable price too.
Safe in your arms love you ❤
he met cassie in 1986
this was recorded in london's victoria apollo theater and, was shown in 1982
Pure beauty
miss him so
@aplacetohideaway ...i love this song tooo so much..love jd...but this one sure always touches the heart so much, doesnt it?..i wish they had this one at karaoke but they dont..didnt realize what a jd mood i was in ...again.......til i heard this on ur channel!..letssee i thought iwas still in a don williams mood ...now bmaybe its jd again..lol! unfortunately so many of his best are not at karaoke, the ones i know the best..like this one!..u got grreat taste ! hope u have a merry xmas Sharron!
love this...but I love all of his songs...
Learn it by EAR!!! Put a capo on the second fret - then a simple G - C - D and probably an A at the bridge! Listen to it and learn it that way!!
We loyal fans loved Johns amazing vocals but obviously God wanted him to join his choir of Angels, our loss is heavens gain 😪😪😪
luv this song so much...no words
I looooooooooooooooooooooove this video
i love this song
cette voix charme mes oreilles et m'apaise
recently released DVD ?? what where how : love JD
