John Denver Rhymes and Reasons

[@stevensnyder1133]

When I was 3, the trajectory of my life changed - I came to Colorado on vacation for the first time. When I was 6, the trajectory was galvanized by seeing John Denver in concert. When I was 18, I learned how to play guitar. At 33, I finally moved to Colorado to live in the mountains.

[@debrapaulino918]

❤ He did that. Fills you with it.

[@gerryf.217]

Always preferred to hear him sing acoustically rather than with an orchestra. His voice was so pure. Sure do miss him.

[@scottclifford5594]

Hello 👋 Gerry. How are you doing ? Hope are you fine. Im Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from . You seem like a real country girl

[@YankeeFiddler13850]

He didn't need anything more than a guitar.

[@gregduke7889]

"Though the cities start to crumble, and the towers fall around us..." Prophetic lyrics, for sure.

[@jackkilman8726]

I have to admit that I usually prefer edgier artists with more bite to their music, but when my mind is in turmoil, It is John Denver's music that calms my thoughts and helps me find my center again. His songs cut to the heart of the things that truly matter: love for ourselves, for each other, and for the world we live in.

[@jnwd1723]

Jack..what a thoughtful thing to say :-)

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

Same here. Thank you. Especially this song...

[@janewillis6052]

Ditto Jack Kilman, when the world is a deep black hole and you're swirling in it's depths, nothing lifts the spirit like John's music imo

[@hellectahkwamboka5640]

Well put

[@Guy1105Fawkes]

Oh how right you are. I'm 28, and I'm Italian. I am still to be able to listen to some of John's songs without tearing up. He sure knew how to get to the right strings inside a human being, and play them with the same skill he played his guitar with.

[@gloriasapp5468]

One of my favorite songs of his. His voice just touches your soul! Such a loss!🥲

[@RobReepArt]

Some of the greatest lyrics ever written.

[@helenmary4869]

Agree with you,Rob!

[@grumpybuzzard7131]

[@janewillis6052]

We have never needed to find a better way more than we do now, I miss JD so very much, thank God we have his wonderful musical legacy to uplift us. He is one of the greatest loves of my life and I thank God for him

[@lwmustmarch]

Feeling so sad about the chaos going on right now in our country. I turned to John Denver to get my mind off the turmoil. I heard this song and melted inside. The lyrics give me hope.

[@PUNYAPUJITHAWiJETUNGE]

There's a promise for future. Let's save the world. The kids needs to be save. Don't end the world.

[@wl1073]

was born and raised on his music. what a great loss.

[@AdrianoFreitas-z9z]

Currently we need more musicians and songs like that. We still miss you, John!

[@stevenleeroyk9189]

Had the incredible privledge of meeting John and Annie back in 1976 in Aspen..incredible man...incredible music..

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

That is Denver s masterpiece.

[@BigfistJP]

I was in college when I first heard the song, and I have never forgotten it more than 50 years later.

[@sarapinsky315]

One of my favorite of John's songs. It's just beautiful. I also miss him and always will.

[@celsov4321]

[@yeosoonheng9722]

Just a classic masterpiece and evergreen from the one n only ,the late John Denver.

[@maricarol85]

"For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers. Their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day." JD, you did the same thing for us--your laughter and your loveliness could clear our cloudy days. Oh how we miss you and your loveliness in our lives!

All the sonhos of John Denver are precious i have One photo of my love John Denver and i adore the photo

[@scottclifford5594]

Hello 👋 Ana. How are you doing ? Hope are you fine. Im Scott Clifford and am from Denver Colorado, where are you from . You seem like a real country girl

[@irodify1]

John said he started writing this song in the shower. I believe him. The song gives me a feeling of awe, of mysticism and magic. There are no stoppages, words flow as effortlessly as the river, so clear and aware and sure of it's course. It is my favorite song. Mountains, rainbows and flowers-to not lose sight of their beauty and remember and keep feeling joy, innocent joy, even as divisions, infighting threaten to tarnish relationship with nature & the good we can find in one another.

[@stephensmith24]

Beautiful words I hope you write songs or poetry, if not you should. John would be proud. Thank you, peace be with you and far out!!🙏🙏

[@irodify1]

Yes I do write poetry/verses and appreciate a well written line in a song. Thank you for the encouragement. I don't know if John would be proud- I would have liked to share my poems with him. I could tell he loved to sing and share stories, feelings with listeners. The hope for a more peaceful world is something JD truly believed in and something people are still striving for, finding strength in the music, to carry out this vision.

[@irodify1]

I don't have many friends but I will definitely keep writing. I enjoy listening to this kind of music. It is magical when a song has "flow," many songwriters say it is a gift and it is! Peace to you too and again many thanks 😊

[@stephensmith24]

@@irodify1 If you like John Denver's lyrics, have you listened to Nick Drake, Jackson C Frank or John Prine? Keep writing and you don't get many true friends in life🙏

[@irodify1]

I have listened to the artists you mentioned. I find their songs sad but cathartic at the same time. I imagine you write and sing songs too? I agree with you about friends and appreciate the few that I have. Stay safe & may music be with you.

[@MikeEirman]

My favorite of John's music, we all need to listen carefully

[@rozarioglenpatrick1802]
