Lyrics:
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

[@gloriakourounis1718]

It# 1965 again and I think of Tony when I listen to this song, who called me to ask if I wanted to go to the NY Port Authority to see him off to Duluth and say goodby. He said he'd pick me up at 5 but he never came. I had him paged at the PA but he never answered. We had a short but wonderful romance and I think of him a lot. I suppose he got sent to Nam...he never came back...never saw him again...but I will always remember him.

My Grandma was 26, married with 3 kids, when John Denver released this song. Three years later my mom was born. My grandma would feel overwhelmed that the fact that she had 4 kids before the age of 30, and things could get stressful. She would use this song to relieve her stress. Forward 56 years (now 2020) when I play Leaving on a jet plan or country roads on my phone, she goes into this place of happiness, and knows all the lyrics, and so she sings her heart out. I feel when the time comes that my grandma leaves this earth, she will be singing this on her way up to the gates to meet the heavenly father. #JohnDenverLegend.

[@pizzagirl1766]

I am 14 years old. It's 2020. During the pandemic. I was having a horribly depressing time, what with online school and lack of communication with people other than my family. Lying on my bed, I was thinking of a thousand things when I unconsciously started humming this song so I searched it up. I don't know why but I knew every single lyrics of this song. I know about John Denver and I've heard his songs before but to be honest I don't remember why exactly I know about him, considering this dude was popular about 50 years ago and I am a Gen Z kid. However, when I started listening to this song tonight, I felt myself tearing up because it was so beautiful and I felt like I was trying to remember some lost memory from the past, from my childhood but I just couldn't remember what memory exactly led me to thinking of this song... I know no one is probably going to read this, considering no one's ever liked my comment before but just felt like mentioning anyways.

[@alexandrahaiat9131]

He told his manager if he were to die he would want die flying his plane, and he did. His first wife Annie never wanted to come on the road with him because she was a recluse and didn’t like all the energy of concerts and people. All he ever wanted was for her to come with him. She divorced him after he had a road affair because he couldn’t fathom the loneliness. He always loved her though even up until his death. He would send her thousands of roses every year on her birthday to her apartment in Aspen. Even with his second wife and little girl, he never didn’t make time for her. He was a beautiful person and I hope he is flying high looking down and feeling through all the nature he loved so much.

[@tehee-]

It's a shame he was supposedly a nasty drunk and sawed their marital bed with a chainsaw. I think John was a wonderful man, but he was just like all of us. (Check wikipedia)

[@CanadianAvian]

Yeah, but it's also a shame that he died. He wasn't even supposed to be flying, as the FAA revoked his certifications, not to mention the fact that the way the fuel selector and gauge were positioned in a way that the pilot could not reach them during stable flight. The right tank was at about half capacity, the left a quarter. He was offered a refueling, of which he turned down because of his short flight time. There's just so many factors in his death that could be so easily avoided, and it really is a shame. Stick to Cessnas, kids.

[@CanadianAvian]

Oh yeah, shortly after his death and others, the FAA required manufacturers to position all absolutely necessary gauges and controls in easily reachable locations, including the fuel selector and gauge. So, the FAA was a little bit late on that one.

[@ErrorUsernotfound-ol6ff]

@@CanadianAvian it was shortly when he crashed his porsche in a tree in 1992 when he was drunk they found out and revoked his certifications because they were worried that he would be drunk and crash his plane and pass away

[@nickynicks_]

@Disgruntled Pelican Yes it is immoral. But loneliness was not the excuse, it was his reason. Though loneliness is a terrible thing, he still committed an immoral act towards his wife, and loneliness was the cause. But I don't think that makes him an immoral man, although, he did have his vices as a drunk. I don't know much about his second marriage, but hopefully he became a better husband with his little girl. Nonetheless, he was a great musician and his songs evoke happiness and virtue, even if Denver himself was not a completely virtuous man. We remember him for what he made us feel with his eternal music, not for his mortal flaws.

I met John Denver in the 1970,s at Sydney airport at the TAA terminal while he was on tour, spoke to him for about 15 mins (took some photos), with my girlfriend and sister, he was really gracious and pleasant. We found that we had a couple of things in common - same birthday and we had both studied Architecture (I was a 2nd year student) He was very popular in Australia at that time and all his shows were sold out. I took my Father to his Sydney Sports-ground show and it was excellent. A 3 hour concert, including The Sydney Symphony Orchestra, He found common ground with a lot of people through his music.

I was lucky enough to have a dad who showed me all the good songs of the 50s 60s and 70s and 80s he was born in 1967 I’m 17 now and he’s still showing me all this good music a lot of kids are not lucky enough to have a appreciation for old music and it saddens me

I haven’t cried or felt genuine emotion in damn near 5 years, but John denver seems to make feel something, not quite sure what, but it’s something I haven’t felt in a long time.

[@nenenpiezasingente4760]

“ I don’t when I’ll be back again…” It was so meaningful! He’s always in our hearts. Forever loved.🙏❤️🙏

[@qwave1322]

Such a sweet and pure soul. Too good for this world. I hope he is in a better place.

[@thetwitchywitchy]

It's crazy how I literally havent heard this song in many many years, but the lyrics flood back to me and its like I had just sang it just the other day. I love John Denver

[@cptnemo224]

My parents gifted me this particular album on my twelfth birthday. I distinctly remember that this song was the first one on the first CD (there were two discs).As a pilot now, I still get the goosebumps when this track comes on. Way back in '97 as a four year old child, I recall receiving the news of his death on the news ticker. But I didn't know who he was and what the world lost on that fateful day. Mr. Denver, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This song has seen me through toughest of times, in both grief and joy. I wish you were here. With Love from India.

[@thomashermjimmy4426]

Wow that's really nice 😊👍

[@paulineschmidhofer1602]

Your grandmother has great taste...as my grandmother did...I'm a grandma now but will never forget this song when I first heard it so many years ago....bless you..I was 16 then..and I did go and left everything behind ...now all I want is to go back home... much love and respect to the great John Denver who inspired me with his music

[@sisleymichael]

Such a clear, pure voice. He made folk music cool again! We need another John Denver these days.

[@OldManRiver54]

Seeing all the Takamori shippers raiding the comment section right now is so weirdly heartwarming for me. I grew up with John Denver music my whole life, and seeing all the Hololive people come in here giving old John some much deserved appreciation is like seeing an intersection between my childhood and my adulthood. Here's hoping that the phoenix's heartfelt cover of this song will lead at least a few people to discovering even more music from Denver.

[@fikradas]

Pretty sure the vtuber crowd did already pay John plenty of respect given the Senzawa/Gura/Country Roads situation.

[@andyjo7838]

No, I'm just a Mori addict. This became apparent when she did a Japanese stream this morning. Me, not knowing a substantial amount of the language, decided to watch it anyways. ... I understood three words. Rain, tanoshi and flower.

[@astuteanansi4935]

Appreciate the kind response. A lot of the time when such a raid happens, people who knew of the song prior will tell the newcomers to shove off and stop spamming instead

[@flamedoku2514]

borgwir I guess that may be one way to put it, but I don't really consider it just hippie music. I wasn't around (not even close) when the hippie age was in its prime, so I couldn't say, but I really do like his music!

Our unit sung this song as we were on the tarmac in Ft. Hood back in 2005, I was still a kid at 32 and wore my feelings on my sleeve then.

[@user-ht4gb2fw4e]

+Retired Warrior ..November 11th is tomorrow. Honor to you and unit, and the others who made the sacrifice for nation. Theres no "Glory" though. Only the tragic respect for everyone from Bunker Hill, to Antietam, right through to Guadalcanal and Tarawa, Khe San, Faluja, and on goes the sad list of loss and courage................ps: My grand pa was in a Belgian trench in 1917. He saw what the big rats do. He saw humans sucked into the mud. He made it though. Mortar wound in the ankle, bullet wound under the left ear. But it was a different world. A shred of decency existed. They really did sing with Germans at Christmas in some places. But then officers would chase everyone back to theyre positions. But at least there was that brief light of humanity.

His music has the same effect on me becausewhen I would go to my grandparents house my grandfather would always play country and western on the radio. He passed away in 2015 I was 11 at the time and John Denver songs and the song “in the shadow of the valley” remind me of him I miss him so much

[@tomrennick5130]

*I greatly enjoy John Denver's songs and he only got better as he got older. His song, "Calypso" is one of my favorites. All that said, Denver's song, "Leaving On A Jet Plane" brings back the 1960's as few songs of that era can. Even so, and I must confess, Mary Travers rendition of this song (lead singer for "Peter, Paul, & Mary") is the quintessential version. She imbues it with the pathos that Denver clearly intended, but that only her voice could evoke. That said, thank you, John, for writing this. You wrote it from the heart, and it shows.*
