#JohnDenver #TakeMeHomeCountryRoads #TheWildlifeConcert
Lyrics:
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.
West Virginia, mountain momma, take me home, country roads.

*I always enjoy country music but when I meet my parents in law I totally fell in love with this style of music. now they aren’t here anymore. First my mother in law 8 months ago got a message from God and one week ago my father in law got the same message. They are in better hands in better place. Country music is my only ways to bring them back to me. Thank you Mavis and Jim. I love you both forever for teaching me another way to enjoy life and love! 😢💖✨*

Yes, we already know that the lyrics of this song are about West Virginia but we don't care about that.

[@tomcarpenter2421]

I grew up in a really tough neighbourhood in the seventies and eighties. Crime, violence, drugs, poverty, handicapped mother, father a criminal, always in jail. Everyday was really tough to get by. Growing up like that you could not help but to get always in trouble and into fights just to stand your ground. However, when I first listened to this song by coincidence I was 12 years old and it suddenly filled me with so much peace that I got addicted to listening to this song. I clearly remember laying on my bed as a kid in the runned down housing project with fungus coming through the wall, listening to this song over and over again just to destress. The calmness and happiness I experienced listening to this song was like a pure miracle to me. Of course as a tough kid I would not openly admit to listening to that kind of music. Only my best friend at that time knew and he had a great voice and he liked J D too. So whenever we met or when we were on our way to school I asked him to sing that song for me. The same experience I had with Poems , Prayers and Promises and many other J D songs. Years later I made it out of the ghetto and accomplished a good education and a honest and honourable life. Maybe just because of these songs. RIP John Denver, I would have loved to tell you this story in person.

Im out of Bass kilter, but we are having our first rehearsal tomorrow, and the drummer and other guitar player ive never met! Anyway i feel ya Tom.

Music is a gift from our Creator! Jesus is the reason for our existence..... for all things were made by Him and for Him. He lived a perfect life (without sin) and then died on a cross. Three days later He arose from the dead. He is coming back soon. If you believe this.....then you will be saved and go to Heaven some day (instead of Hell). It is God's amazing gift to us sinners. You just need to repent of your sins and ask Jesus to be LORD & Saviour.

The days in the country where I spent my vacations in winter and summer, rural roads and mountains silhouetted by reddish sunsets are associated with my early childhood. During my youth I discovered that his songs and his music softened my nostalgia because somehow I also felt included.

@@prestonsmith9824 Preston - John Denver was in a country music class all by himself. He sang about things familiar to everyone and expressed feelings that most have had during their lifetimes. He had a simplicity to him that identified with the majority of the people with no regard to age, whether you were male/female, poor or rich, etc. There are a whole lot of really good country musicians out there still: Toby Keith is one of my favorites. Shame that Kenny Rogers has gone on to a better place as well. Have a nice night.
