John Denver, DonMclean, Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor - FOLK COUNTRY SONGS

[@MayaDeyala]

Thanks so much for the lyrics. Now I can pass on this video to kids in my family who are learning English. This is how I taught myself. Singing beautiful songs by Air supply, Chicago, the Beatles, The Bee Gees and so many others growing up from the 70’s and up . I even went back on time learning songs from when I wasn’t yet born. Grrrrrrrreat lyrics ! One learns more than just the language or the history of one country … one learns about life.

[@valerieclark826]

You are absolutely right 😊 Music is also a universal language and teaches us so many things.

Words are essential to a song. And if the poeta is good He can evoke feelings to make you feel joy ,sadness, compassion, revolt, all the feelings. And if the musicians are on the same wavelenght, it's the tongue of angels (or devils...they also have their function)

Amazing that people from every state in the US consider this a song about America, and about them, not just West Virginia.

[@peterhansmuijzenbergvanden5956]

I am listening to "California Dreamin'" at the moment. Did it maybe escape you're notice that this is a series of Folk Country Roads, rather than a single song? But, "Country Roads" is not about West Virginia, but about traveling there. In a way, it could play in 48 states. Obviously, going there can't be about West Virginia, and country roads excludes Hawaii. But the other 48 states can be the starting points of going to West Virginia.

[@JohnBullard]

@@peterhansmuijzenbergvanden5956 Here in Texas, we call that bullshit. There is no "series" of country road songs, there are thousands of them that were each written to surpass the others for profit. Most of the artists never knew each other and created their songs to be played on albums of their songs, as they were produced. I listened to these songs when they were new. And of course it's not about West Virginia, John Denver only describes the beauty of that state, and sings the name of that state, and only that state, several times in several ways in that song, so it couldn't possibly be about getting back to West Virginia. Country Roads is played at sporting events all over the US and tens of thousands of people at each event sing the song together. They consider it their song, I didn't say I did. Read carefully, how can you misread one sentence so badly? I'm always glad to provide an opportunity, even unintentionally, for someone to show how smart they are. You're welcome.

[@alpinealpine2793]

People all over the world are touched and lifted by the song.

[@JohnBullard]

@@alpinealpine2793 That's right, because the underlying theme of the song is going home to the place where one grew up, and that's why it has a world- wide appeal.

Classic old songs like these thru the 60's to 80's helped me live life. I am a lonely 74 yr old man who grew up in a loveless home. The sadness, is that we were a largish family, yet cruel remarks and derision lurked in the shadows always. It broke me then and the memories still do now. Thanks for that wonderful music.

[@I-B-OUTLAW-IV]

So sorry to hear Bushy, I can relate. Got charges pending for assault on sister. Sadly she has no idea, witnesses report she attacked me with a metal candle holder splitting my lip and adding further damages... I tried to help her after several falls. She states the bruises are due to my assault :( it never happenned... in fact I was standing in front of officers while she continued to threaten to have me arrested.. Like you I think we are one F***ed up disfunctional family... nobody talks to each other in our last days so to speak. sister in her 50's with 2 stints in heart,. other sister late 50's with recent stroke blamed on everybody else. Older .Brother 70's livin off anyone who will give him extra cash...More tactics to cause havoc and heartache whenever they can...Meanwhile my Parents home is going to hell after 4 yrs no repairs, no interest except to try and make it harder for me to purchase...My opinion. cant wait to leave the province and disappear... 9 kids I hear from 1,I need, I'm Broke, I need meds, I need I need I need... meanwhile hey look at the new toaster oven we bought! look at the new microwave we bought. look at the new I phone 11 we got for the kid, I won at the casino again Woohoo??? :( : ( :( never ending sorrow.. got a son changed his name, just got out of jail.. .thinks I'm gonna not talk to him cuz he's abandoned me since 2007?? Time to take a moment for us Bushy! look away, and enjoy the last years of our life. we deserve it ^5 Man... wishin you all the best...

@@LAVirgo67maybe the USA grew too fast. Maybe as a country we weren’t ready to be the world’s leader. The country took on much more than we were ready for after WWII. We were young and full of ourselves, got too big for our britches. The leaders thought that after Hiroshima nobody would question or oppose us. The leaders immediately jumped into Korea and then Vietnam. But even Vietnam wasn’t enough to prove to a lot of people that the USA needed to cool our heels. So, here we are.
