    Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
    Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
    Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
    Sunshine almost always makes me high

    Today is my 28 year old son’s 22nd anniversary since he passed away from cancer, before he went with our Lord I asked him what his favorite song was, and thinking he was going to name a heavy metal song I was surprised to hear him say “ Sunshine on my shoulders”, so I always remember my son when I hear this song and I always listen to it on his anniversary! I miss him so much!

    My wife was battling cancer, on one of her good days, she wanted to go to Disney World, she loved the atmosphere. We got home that evening, I sang this to her as I put her into bed. Three months later she lost her battle and I lost her love. “If I had a day that I could give you, I’d give to you a day just like today”.

      I'm currently battling breast cancer so I understand this. When the good days are there you just want to do what you have wanted to do before you were diagnosed. I have my last chemo next week. Let's pray the MRI is good in a few weeks ahead of my surgery and then radiation. I'm hoping to put all this behind me. I'm sorry your wife lost her battle with whatever cancer she battled. Hope you think of her when you hear this song forever and keep the great memories you made together and they make you happy like the sunshine on your shoulders

      Reminds me of the late Jim Croce's beautiful ballad, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" (Apr 1974), that hit #9. "Sunshine" was John Denver's first #1 at the beginning of that same month. A memorable duo, who both died in airplane crashes. R.I.P. to these unique singer-songwriters!

      It’s great to know more young people are out there listening to this. I’m 46 now. Born in 1977, I was raised on John Denver…The man was literally EVERYWHERE by then. Music, movies (Oh God!), The Muppet Show, even the PMRC hearings with Dee Snider and Frank Zappa to fight censorship in music.
      I’m also an aviation nerd, so it’s neat to know that not only was John a pilot, but his father actually set speed records in the B-58 Hustler bomber decades ago.
      Krispin, if you love this stuff, you might want to check out The Chad Mitchell Trio, Cat Stevens, The Kingston Trio, Bud and Travis, Joe and Eddie (There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight), Jim Croce…there is just SO much incredible music out there that most people your age and mine are totally unaware of. It’s just waiting to be rediscovered!

When I heard this this morning I pictured singing this to my mother as she was dying but I didn't get a chance to do that. I only wished I had. I surely would have. I remember singing this to my daughter when she was little and asleep and feeling so much love for her and I will always think of that along with my childhood when I was growing up and how popular this song was.

      After reading your comment, I went from remembering my old comment and thinking it was funny, to feeling bad, to remembering why I made the comment in the first place.
      Whilst I obviously sympathise with people losing loved ones, especially their children, I find these sorts of comments very strange. I guess people need an outlet or somthing, if you want to look at it in a positive way, but I find the emotional dumping to be a little unsettling. Like, why do feel the need to share your most horrific tragedy with the world, on a forum designed for pointless shitposts. It's kinda cringy, like someone having a mental breakdown in public. I also (cynically I know) can't help but feel a little nagging sensation that these comments are some attempt at getting sympathy points from strangers. I can't know why this woman said what she did. And I kinda hope she's not reading this know because again, I sympathise. However, I reserve the right to make quips on anything, if only to poke fun at the strange ways people choose to express themselves. And note, that's all I did. Just poking fun at a strange type of comment you see from time to time, and deflating it a bit.

    My grandmother is living her final days. As we were saying goodbye one night last week, I noticed the day's last sunlight sneaking through the blinds. Remembering that this is one of her favorite songs, I fired up the video and started singing it to her. She immediately remembered the words and sang along. Knowing that her mind and body were at peace for 5 minutes was a beautiful way to conclude our evening. And while I have decades of wonderful memories, I'll always cherish those blissful 5 minutes. [Addition 22-Jan 2019] Thank you for the kind words in the replies. Just to clarify: she did not die while we were listening to the song, but she did pass away about a month later. She was the most loving person I've ever known.

    This was my grandads favourite song, so we played it at his funeral. He always would be out in the summer painting, making flower beds, just anything out of wood. He loved the sun and the heat. On his last summer, i used to help him stack wood for our wood burner, i knew he wouldn’t be here the next year because of everything his body was failing. He brought out a icecream on an especially hot day and I remember sitting there and eating it. I didnt like the ice cream but i knew it would be a good memory so i ate it and we just sat side by side in the sun. I love him

    Ever since I was a kid, (I'm 61 now), John Denver has run through my veins. We wore what he wore, sang his songs, and it is he that is responsible for my deep love of the high mountains. His music helped shape me into the person I am today. I wish I made the opportunity to tell him to his face... Don Kisling

    I have read a lot of comments on this song, some of which are heartbreaking. Love is the greatest force in humanity. Without it, there is no point to anything. Without love in the world, everything is moot. All the riches of the world are worthless without it. If you have lost your humanity, you have lost everything. Compassion and love for other people is the foundation for our fulfillment in life. This song evokes compassion and the simplicity of life. I also want to say to be kind to strangers. You never know what the impact a few kind words can mean to someone who is troubled. Be a positive force in the world. Kindness is a virtue and it never goes out of style.

I have never heard this song on my own and before today I never heard this song not coming from my dad. Rest in peace my beautiful father. As I am from Germany I just wanted to say:

Faking their death is how celebrities retire .. or for various other reasons, but MANY celebrities fake their death.

      We had vietnam war, the gas embargo, a president who got impeached but in all that we had God pouring down his Spirit on those who love Him what was formally called the Hippi/Jesus movement. Yes times were good

    This song reminds me of growing up in North Carolina during the 1970s ... and riding my bike to Mr Barger's country store while listening to my little red transistor radio that I won at the Rowan County Fair.

      This reminds me of my kindergarten/grade 1 teacher from when I lived in North Carolina. She showed me this song when I was in kindergarten. That was 2011. She is now long time retired. I now live so far from home, being in Canada and being misplaced in time. Thank you for bringing me home, though it's temporary, I am grateful

    We lived on a large stretch of land many years ago. During the summer months, we would bring out those big 70's speakers and set them on the back deck and just blast music. Whenever we put John Denver on, our big Saint Bernard ( no matter where he was) would find his way to that back deck and lie down between those two speakers in total bliss. He would lie there all day if we kept playing John Denver. Music soothes any soul. I miss you my big, beautiful, intelligent, gentle giant. You gave us so much love and joy!!!❤🐶

    I chose this song to walk down the aisle to at my wedding last week. The song is simply perfect and when I said my vows there was sunshine on my shoulders and on the sea as my venue was Tunnels Beaches, Ilfracombe, North Devon. I was high but I didn't cry. John Denvers music has accompanied me through my life but this was the most precious moment xx

      Every time I hear this song it brings me back to my youth. I wish there was a way to go back and live it all over again. No internet. 3 channels on TV. Our parents would have had to tie us down with ropes in order to prevent us from going outside to play regardless of the weather. The days of innocence. Great memories. And this song puts me in that happy place when I hear it now.

    This is one of our favorite to our Hero! Army Dad! We lost him too soon, miss him dearly, undeniable memories of our Dad , caring, loving, tender heart and always looking out for us and everyone! I miss him dearly and tears come down my cheeks to whisper to him, if I have one more moment together to see him making a s laugh,!-and telling us , to look at how he’s making bullets for his guns, and always telling us about his cowboy adventures!!!! He as my sunshine in my shoulders…. He made me cry… just to tell him how much I love him…. Daddy…. I’ll see you soon in heaven as gods blessings are wrapping his arms around you for when we will be with you again!!! I love you dad!!!! Gods blessings on you and to everyone who loves you daddy!!
