Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high

John Denver was a gift to humanity and a talented beautiful soul indeed. He is sorely missed 😢. Rip John. Gone but never forgotten.

Was singing his song today while out in sunshine in TN; beautiful day!

[@fj9460-lr]

Today is my 28 year old son’s 22nd anniversary since he passed away from cancer, before he went with our Lord I asked him what his favorite song was, and thinking he was going to name a heavy metal song I was surprised to hear him say “ Sunshine on my shoulders”, so I always remember my son when I hear this song and I always listen to it on his anniversary! I miss him so much!

Still doesn't make it any easier. Thank you for sharing such a special memory. Your momma must have been a good one.

I sing this to my son every night before bed

[@kevinwoodruff321]

My wife was battling cancer, on one of her good days, she wanted to go to Disney World, she loved the atmosphere. We got home that evening, I sang this to her as I put her into bed. Three months later she lost her battle and I lost her love. “If I had a day that I could give you, I’d give to you a day just like today”.

[@p34piper]

I'm currently battling breast cancer so I understand this. When the good days are there you just want to do what you have wanted to do before you were diagnosed. I have my last chemo next week. Let's pray the MRI is good in a few weeks ahead of my surgery and then radiation. I'm hoping to put all this behind me. I'm sorry your wife lost her battle with whatever cancer she battled. Hope you think of her when you hear this song forever and keep the great memories you made together and they make you happy like the sunshine on your shoulders

This was my grandads favourite song, so we played it at his funeral. He always would be out in the summer painting, making flower beds, just anything out of wood. He loved the sun and the heat. On his last summer, i used to help him stack wood for our wood burner, i knew he wouldn’t be here the next year because of everything his body was failing. He brought out a icecream on an especially hot day and I remember sitting there and eating it. I didnt like the ice cream but i knew it would be a good memory so i ate it and we just sat side by side in the sun. I love him

[@freeguy77]

Reminds me of the late Jim Croce's beautiful ballad, "I'll Have to Say I Love You in a Song" (Apr 1974), that hit #9. "Sunshine" was John Denver's first #1 at the beginning of that same month. A memorable duo, who both died in airplane crashes. R.I.P. to these unique singer-songwriters!

My grandmother is living her final days. As we were saying goodbye one night last week, I noticed the day's last sunlight sneaking through the blinds. Remembering that this is one of her favorite songs, I fired up the video and started singing it to her. She immediately remembered the words and sang along. Knowing that her mind and body were at peace for 5 minutes was a beautiful way to conclude our evening. And while I have decades of wonderful memories, I'll always cherish those blissful 5 minutes. [Addition 22-Jan 2019] Thank you for the kind words in the replies. Just to clarify: she did not die while we were listening to the song, but she did pass away about a month later. She was the most loving person I've ever known.

KZbin comment sections, the best place to honor the dead.

[@jumpingspider7105]

NotCarsonDaily After reading your comment, I went from remembering my old comment and thinking it was funny, to feeling bad, to remembering why I made the comment in the first place. Whilst I obviously sympathise with people losing loved ones, especially their children, I find these sorts of comments very strange. I guess people need an outlet or somthing, if you want to look at it in a positive way, but I find the emotional dumping to be a little unsettling. Like, why do feel the need to share your most horrific tragedy with the world, on a forum designed for pointless shitposts. It's kinda cringy, like someone having a mental breakdown in public. I also (cynically I know) can't help but feel a little nagging sensation that these comments are some attempt at getting sympathy points from strangers. I can't know why this woman said what she did. And I kinda hope she's not reading this know because again, I sympathise. However, I reserve the right to make quips on anything, if only to poke fun at the strange ways people choose to express themselves. And note, that's all I did. Just poking fun at a strange type of comment you see from time to time, and deflating it a bit.

[@FloridaManMatty]

It’s great to know more young people are out there listening to this. I’m 46 now. Born in 1977, I was raised on John Denver…The man was literally EVERYWHERE by then. Music, movies (Oh God!), The Muppet Show, even the PMRC hearings with Dee Snider and Frank Zappa to fight censorship in music. I’m also an aviation nerd, so it’s neat to know that not only was John a pilot, but his father actually set speed records in the B-58 Hustler bomber decades ago. Krispin, if you love this stuff, you might want to check out The Chad Mitchell Trio, Cat Stevens, The Kingston Trio, Bud and Travis, Joe and Eddie (There’s a Meetin’ Here Tonight), Jim Croce…there is just SO much incredible music out there that most people your age and mine are totally unaware of. It’s just waiting to be rediscovered!

John's "death" was a freemason hoax. Many celebrities fake their deaths. The freemasons love to "kill off" their puppets by their song lyrics ...

Faking their death is how celebrities retire .. or for various other reasons, but MANY celebrities fake their death.

When I was a baby, I was extremely ill. I was in the hospital for two weeks. My mom told me that she would come visit me 20 hours a day, those other four hours she went home to shower and then she would come right back. She told me that one day, she was coming home from the hospital to take a shower. She entered my room, saw my empty baby crib, and started crying. I don’t know when this happened, either on the way home or when she was home, but this song started playing on the radio. I (obviously) survived, and according to my mom, a nurse told her that it was a miracle I lived.
