Had this played at mums funeral a few weeks ago. Her final few weeks were spent in her garden, in the sunshine. No other song was good enough to send mum off 💖
His music paints a picture your inner eye sees......I was so fortunate to meet him 5 months before his untimely passing. He is missed
John wrote this song in Minnesota on a very cold, snowy, cloudy, gloomy day. As usual John turned the miserable day into a Positive experience.
John's greatest passion was flight. He was the son of an Air Force pilot He purchased an experimental plane and was test flying it when it crashed and he died. He was a leading candidate to be the “first civilian in space” on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986.Denver planned to write a song in space, but Christa McAuliffe was chosen instead to be the first teacher in space. He wrote a song about/to her called Flying For Me.
Supposedly, he died in flight but the plane was on autopilot and remained flying on its own for several hours before running out of fuel and crashing.
@@richardvinsen2385 how ironic. He had his own gas supply during the gas crisis. Ran outta gas...I call it karma.
Cappitelli - " Irish girl " 😅😅- thanks for the back story a lot ❤ of newbies didn't know all that most likely . Now I'm gonna boil me up some cappitelli with some marinara 👍🚬🥃
@@richardvinsen2385 The report says differently. He died on impact.
This is one of my favorites from John Denver. Simple, beautiful and raw. R.I.P. John 💕
I’m 16 and this song is what my grandpa would listen to a lot. Eventually I knew it by heart and I’d sing along to it when he put it on. My grandpa passed away in 2013 and everytime I hear this song I think of him. RIP Grandpa, I miss you.
Immaculate vocal performance. This song just makes me so emotional and makes me long for my childhood. What a legend.
Me too. It makes me cry to hear this , Annie's song or Prayers and Promises as my late parents and I shared a love of his music.
Makes me long for them.
One of the purest voices and souls ever on this Earth. His passing was devastating to whole generations, and we cherish his music.
Beautiful reaction to a simply beautiful song. Thank you for letting John Denver's music shine for us today. 🌞
In my teenage years I was seen as something of a nerd for liking John Denver by my hard rocking friends. Today in my late years, I get so much pleasure from seeing young people like Jayvee share the same reaction I had upon hearing John's wonderful voice and music.
Such a sincerely beautiful song. His voice goes right to to your heart.
No grinding electric guitar
No big long drum solo
Like you said, just a man & his acoustic guitar.
There will never be another like him 😔
His voice is so ...pure. Beautiful.
I had the biggest crush on him when I was in junior high school. He came to the Hampton Roads Coliseum in Virginia and a bunch of us went to see him. At the end of the show everyone ran to a door they thought he would be going out of. I don't like crowds so I stayed away. Then I looked to my right and there he was waving at me with a smile. Unfortunately this was before cell phones so I didn't get his picture but it absolutely made my day.
Such a perfectly pretty song; John's tone and pitch range were golden.
So good to see you Jay.
Nothing better than sunshine in the Colorado high country. Thank you John for the gift you left us...
When the world is ready, another John Denver will come along to bring us back to the natural peace, harmony, and beauty of nature. Can you imagine John Denver throwing soup on a priceless piece of art to raise awareness of environmental issues? No, he lifted our spirits and let us soar with him through the mountains and in the sunshine and on the shining sea with Jacques on the Calypso. Ding, ding.
One of two songs played at my mother's funeral (Seasons in the sun was the other). After 43 years, it still breaks me to hear it. Beautiful song.
You will never be forgotten john Denver and your music will live on deneration to deneration. Love you John Denver and you will be miss by many.
Earlier I just listened to his song titled "Poems, Prayers and Promises". He had many beautiful songs I could recommend, but Poems, Prayers and Promises is a great choice I'd suggest right now.
His songs so simply said, sung, and clarity. He had a lovely and unique sound.
This brings back so many memories! My Grandmother bought me a miniature rocking chair when I was 11 that played this tune, I have since given it to one of my grandchildren and passed it on, I have instructed her to pass it on down to her own grandchildren one day and so it continues!
I’m so glad to see you reacting. His voice is so clear and beautiful thank goodness we still have his music.
This is such a great song, perfectly fitted to John's unique voice
"Annie's Song" always gets me.
He loved the outdoors and was a conservationist. He fell in love with Colorado. A beautiful human being. His music is a gift
I agree,really loved him-his music was and is magic! And he wrote it!😊
Spine tingling song, absolutely class
John wrote this song one day, looking out at the rain coming down in Minnesota, this is music at its best, just 3 guys playing 2 acoustic guitars and a bass fiddle. No drums, of any fancy instruments, And of course John's amazing voice. We are blessed to be able to listen to this, take care everyone. Peace. ✌
Like A Sad Song is one of my favorite songs by John Denver
I actually like the rain . Not being out in it and getting wet . But listening to it fall ,especially on a tin roof . Then afterwards to go for walk and smell the air and the scent of the flowers and trees while treading on the damp earth
It’s a beautiful experience.
When it rains everyone is being rained on . So it’s very communal as well .
I love rain and dark days. Do you watch rain ambience channels? I moderate a couple.
@@elysehfm8797 No
John did a great duet called “What Are We Making Weapons For”. It’s still very relevant today.
Unfortunately people don’t learn! The cycle just keeps repeating!
@@wendyryder2708 Too true Wendy.
Love John Denver. Thanks for this, and for continuing your reactions, Sure miss you when you're on hiatus!
That magic in his voice. It's always enough.
John's voice and lyrics were so far ahead of their time. His pure, simple style just reaches out and touches your heart. He sings of things that EVERYONE can relate to.
😢 aw, he was singing about you, you were the sunshine in Papa's life. He was singing to you his baby girl that you are the sunshine gold in his eye look so lovely that's you in his life that it makes him cry😢 you're the sunshine that was on his shoulder always and he's still there as the sunshine on your shoulder
The sun is life.
You defiantly have John's number.
Check him out in a move called, "Oh God"
Love your appreciation for good music, and your sincere reactions! Missed ya, so glad you're back!!
💖
Such a feel-good song. I love that John appreciated nature & the world around us.
"Poems, Prayers, and Promises" is a good one too.
I absolutely love his music. It can take you to many places. I still mourn him. We've lost so many talented singers way too early. Just a fabulous man all the way around.
This song always makes me cry. It's just that beautiful ❤
It makes me very happy to see young folks like you feel the beauty of John Denver's music! Thank you for being you!
Great song! Big fan of John's music & acting career he was such a wholesome talent. Nice to see u JoVaughn! 😀
John Denver was a 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", "Rocky Mountain High", "Annie's Song", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm A Country Boy", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Poems, Prayers & Promises" 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.
Calipso! Jayvaughn, have you heard this masterpiece?
Rest in peace, such a unexpected death with tragic circumstances
I wasn’t sure I could listen to this because this song almost always makes me cry or tear up. I will try to get through it tonight without doing that. Such a beautiful song. Thanks Jay
John Denver had one of, if not THE most purest singing voice ever. Everything he sang, whether it was a love song, a remembrance of days past, humour (Grandma's Feather Bed), or simply the joy of an aspect of life, his voice turned to gold.
I defy anyone to listen to The Eagle and the Hawk and not feel like they themselves are flying.
I saw him in 1986 a few months after the Challenger exploded , He wrote a tribute song for it and sang it , Not a dry eye in the house ! The whole concert was emotional , I think I cried from start to finish ! There was an aura about him that was palpable !
John done so many great songs and that album is one of my favorites! My favorite song is the title song of that album "Poems, Prayers, and Promises!" I am glad to see you again, Jovaughn!
“Back Home Again” is another beautiful song of John’s
Your definitely right there was only one John Denver ☺️❤️it is my happy place that and the beach
Love John love his music love his voice.
I love John Denver. My parents brought me up right listening to his music. I actually bought his greatest hits CD a couple of years ago. I then traded in my car and forgot the CD in the player. Someone got an awesome bonus with the car. I hope they appreciated it.
I also grew up listening to him. My father went to see him at a club in LA before he was famous. Every time I listen to his music it just takes me a way to another place.
@@scm021374 Exactly! I feel like I'm a young child without a care in the world again but with a better appreciation of the music.
Where have you been. I honestly thought you were not going to be back on doing your reactions on You Tube. I just love your reactions and am so glad you are back again. You are one of my favorites. You do your reactions with heart, you really feel it, you are very kind. So so glad to see you here at this forum.
"I'm sorry" "Looking for space" are other good ones
Warms my heart to see you JV thanks for the reaction. I love this song
I’ve never considered him a country singer but rather a folk singer.
Sunshine in this song is a person, not a thing. He's singing about a person whose presence literally gives him light. I can't listen to this song without crying because it reminds me of my twin, who passed away from cancer. Her presence in my life was always warm and sincere and comforting. When I hear this song, I think about how much I miss her. John had a gorgeous voice, so full of emotions that you couldn't help feeling some kind of way when you heard him. Voices like his are once in a lifetime. His guitar playing wasn't too shabby either.
Woohooo, glad you’re back! John Denver had so many hits, a nice mellow vibe.
John Denver was the very first vinyl record I bought at age 11 in 1974! I had just bought a used guitar from a sketchy addict in Oakland for $65 and was teaching myself to play and sing. He’ll always be my first musical love, and this song, along with Rocky Mountain High & Country Roads are very dear to me.
Wonderful that you are turning on younger music lovers to this sweet and gentle genius! RIP John
Glad you are back!! What a beautiful song. John Denver's voice is so pure💕
Just pure joy for the gift of life🌞
Good to have another reaction from you! I missed you!
What a beautiful voice John Denver had. Gone too soon. RIP ❤😢
Hey hey!
@@elysehfm8797 hi, Elyse!!
@@carojayess1723, all good?
@@elysehfm8797 getting better! ☺️
@@carojayess1723, that's good to know. Do more of that! 🤗
I LIke song Sunshine on my Shoulders the Part where he singing about Sunshine on the water looks So lovely. IT Reminds me of Being along the Gulf coast around Pensacola Beach And the Mobile Bay in Mobile.
Glad to see you , you always have great content. Your channel is like sunshine on anyones shoulders. Thanks for the video !
I second that! ❤
Voice of an Angel!
Great Song by a Beautiful Artist he is the sound of Sunshine cause his voice makes me so Happy
What a blessing to have John Denver's music in our lives. May he rest in peace 🙏🕊️
I have not heard this for DECADES! Thanks for the reminder. I love that entire album from his early days. I'm old enough that I got to see him in concert before he was a big star when he was doing college dates in 1969. In part because of his later "Country Roads" song, when my husband and I got married we bought our first house in the woods on a river in the country vs. buying a city or suburban house. Thanks for this! Love your heartfelt reaction.
Spread that joy indeed. Sometimes the simplest images and motifs, if played & sung at the right time, with enough skill & conviction, are just what folks need. John Denver came along at a time when that was certainly true--in the wake of some truly awful collective traumas, many dashed hopes, and much uncertainty about what the present had in store, and what the future could or should be. In the turbulent wake of all that, he sounded a gentle but clarion call to reconnect spiritually & emotionally to the natural world, to find meaning & sustaining beauty there, and that call resonated across a generational divide that had seemed pretty insurmountable at the time. That's probably why he remains such a beloved artist of his era.
This song deserves the praise you gave it!
Your reactions are always fabulous.
He has another great acoustic song called "This old guitar". There is a live version where he tells a little story about his guitar that is really cool.
I love his reactions. He truly listens to the song/lyrics and feels the emotions of the song!
Watch his Gulbert O'Sullivan, Alone again Naturally and you'll be balling
His voice was so pure x
Superb reaction video! Always very happy to see a younger person discovering and enjoying John Denver. He was such an incredible talent. He could communicate with an audience like nobody else I’ve ever seen. It was a gift that not too many in music have. Anyone can sing to an audience, but only a rare few could make you feel like the whole thing was just for you.
The world lost a treasure.
My grandad (a country singer in his day) was listening to this as he passed away which we later played at his funeral 💛
We had this at my mums funeral.. My parents saw him live a fews rimes. They ,like me loved his music.
We had Poems,Prayers and Promises at dad funeral.
Probably why these songs make me cry these days because i long for them to be here listening with me.
@@cjscitcat sorry for your loss with both parents! I lost my father 4 months after my grandad 4 years ago it’s definitely hard! X
Don't close you eyes tonight John Denver
My Daddy sung this to me alot when I was young all the way to the end of his life 💖💔
John had a golden voice. He was very popular in the late 70's. He was good in Oh God!, the movie. So many good songs and gone too soon.
John Denver had one of the most beautiful voices ever. True, pure talent that shone so brightly in the simplest of songs. Gone way to soon. As someone else mentioned, the song was written for the 1972 TV movie “Sunshine” . The movie is based on a true story of a 19 yr girl who had a little girl and then discovered she had bone cancer. The movie was developed using journals she had left for her daughter. Another heartbreakingly beautiful song from this movie is “My Sweet Lady”, made all the more poignant when taken in context (young mother dying of cancer).
John Denver's songs truly had meaning.
Sunshine in the sky makes me high! "Sunshine"&"Country Roads"is my two fav's of J.D.
❤This! Brings back the memories!😊
A stunning song from John, the guitar playing is truly superb, from John and the late great Mike Taylor, in the background is the fantastic Dick Kniss playing the bass fiddle, simply out standing. These 2 guys also contributed to the writing of this song.
True talent being displayed, take a bow John Denver. Great reaction young fellow. 👍
A song that absolutely takes you there
I was 8 years old when this song was released. I love this song it was played all the time in the 70's. So glad to see young people like yourself appreciate all this great music from my generation.
I'm so glad that you are back♡
I thought we'd seen the end of your channel. Like maybe you just did it to make money going through college and now we're moved on. Really glad you're back.♥️
Legend. Gone way to soon. RIP John. Thanks. Great song. AKA Lowrider (Mary).
The sound of my childhood, the heart of the 70s. If you wanna know what if felt like to have lived back then, this song it is.
I think of this song every year when I first feel the heat of the sun on my skin. Timeless classic.
Gosh, I remember this! I was in high school. This was right about the time we were transitioning from the "hippie" out look and before the glam of the 80s. What memories!
so beautiful!!! The Movie was great too.
Song from my childhood… so happy to have him at a young age.
Glad to see you're back!!! 🙂 John Denver's song convey such emotion. I always end in tears 😢
WOW GORGEOUS HEARD THIS ON MY POSTAL ROUND IN MY VAN ONLY LAST WEEK WHEN THE SUN CAME OUT OVER THE SNOW ON THE NEARBY HILLS IT MADE MY DAY .LOVE THE CHANNEL FRIEND 👍🏼
It's the little things that we take so much for granted in life that means soo much when we choose to be present...Ty brother for this
Love watching you react to this beautiful song. So many memories come to me as a little girl when I hear this song. Thank you for sharing. ❤
He has so many great, beautiful, timeless songs.
One of my favorites is _Eagle and the Hawk_
I'd love to hear your reaction to it.
Glad to see you back.😃✌
☺️☀️ I love John Denver and love this song
This was the theme song to a tearjerker of a movie from the early 1970’s about a 23 year old diagnosed with cancer. It was a true story called Sunshine.
I watched that movie when I was an emotional 14 year old....cried and cried. I still remember it and I'm now 57.
