Poems, Prayers and Promises JOHN DENVER (with lyrics)

[@danielbuchanan3136]

John was so shy and so down to earth putting every else before his self. Im grateful I got to see him several times and had an amazing conversation along with dinner on the Pacific Trail. and in Aspen as well in LA when he played. at the Greek Theater back in early 80s. RIP John Denver. One love

[@johnboehmer6683]

Wow, if there's anything you would be able, willing to divulge about your conversation with him, I would absolutely be grateful, and love to hear it. Few celebrities were as intriguing as John Denver to me. Men are typically not real complicated, this guy was, or at least seemed to be. Absolutely loved him. It's one thing to hear an interview with a celebrity, when they typically are just saying what they want people to hear to maintain their image, all together different to have a private conversation.

What s Blessing

[@LindaKolb-w1r]

You are so fortunate you were able to see him not once but twice!😘

John enjoyed nature abundantly that he turned it into inspiring songs.

[@sabyasachimitra5719]

John symbolizes the golden period of North American society. His songs, music reflects all the good time that are long past. One of the greatest singers all time humankind gifted with.

[@nbenefiel]

Back in 69, he came to my college as part of a voter’s registration program. Country roads had just become a big hit. He was so kind. He came and talked to all of us. I still have his LPs but I no longer have a record player.

[@sunryse111]

Nice comment, thank you.

[@teresasugden466]

We still have his LPS as well. He was such a great and pleasant person, as well as awesome feel good music

[@sunryse111]

John Denver's work is a tribute to the human-spirit. The more I listen, the more I realize - - - It wasn't about him , , it was about US!

[@sunryse111]

Very true, Douglas. Excellent comment.

[@asia23425]

He said that his songs came from us

[@daryllebeau4333]

Guy was a pothead. Nothing from him contributes to my spirit for damn sure. lol

[@DeltaSilver88]

​@@daryllebeau4333 I don't see what that has to do with anything. He was still a better songwriter than most people today. Many national poets were also "potheads" (including W. B. Yeats and Walt Whitman) and they symbolize the spirits of entire nations... 🤷‍♀

[@maricarol85]

How come you wasted your time coming here then?😂

[@chrisfrombeyond4240]

The world today would have made John quite sad, but man his songs are much needed.

[@sunryse111]

Very true.

[@stefanbohrer]

I have rediscovered the music of John Denver after such a long time since my young days. His music touches my soul and this jewel so precious touches my memories. Thank you my dear unknown friend. RIP you wonderful human being

[@kennethmatthies9789]

25yrs today the world lost John Denver, make you wonder how much more music he would have produced had he lived. RIP John.

[@theresegorski7686]

I’ve always loved this song. But it has special meaning as I just celebrated my 60th birthday.

[@teresasugden466]

Well said! I'm turning this year!!!

[@Frontmanfrg]

Just turned 50 and I “get it” and what it means. Life has been so awesome, and yet there is so much more living to do.

[@1meridional1]

John Denver changed my life. I cannot say that about anyone else. One day I was this Deep South country boy without a plan, then I heard Rocky Mountain High. I headed for Colorado as fast as I could. I eventually settled down, went back to university - first CSU in Fort Collins and then on to graduate at CU in Boulder. Work took me away from Colorado. That was how it had to be. But John Denver and his music pointed a young guy with no direction in at least that direction and "I have to say it now , It's been a good life all in all, it's really fine to have (had) a chance to hang around." My wife and I are about to retire and "hang around" a bit more in my second, spiritual home - not too far from Aspen. Thanks John.

[@sunryse111]

You set your sights and you go for it. Bravo!

[@frankabney5850]

at 66, almost 67, there's a lot of life, love, relationships... time alone, time in Nature alone and with a circle of friends and lovers I recall and live again with vivid memories... this song means more each year as I find myself getting older...

[@sunryse111]

A lovely comment, Frank ... thank you. Stay safe!

[@justtruth8310]

No other musician has ever connected to me like John Denver. He just connects! Love this guy. If ever there was a musician I would have loved to meet, Yes, John Denver. He cuts deep into the soul but being famous took its toll. ya can't get fame and tranquility and a strong marriage. Just can't. God designed it so 2 people would be together most of their waking hours. But I lve his music and meaning and always have. People who leave a mark upon you in life are the ones you know are the real deal. People who live close to your heart and touch you like John has done must be the true parts of life. Some live in the outer circle of my heart and some live in the inner circle. John has always lived in my inner circle. What can I say, he just clicks with me. Love to have met him.

[@sunryse111]

I know exactly how you feel, JT. John was an exceptional human.

[@AnthonyWalsh-e6e]

Such a beautiful song. This was played at both my brothers and my dad's funerals. Can't hear this without shedding a tear

[@justchillinghowaboutyou3174]

Always makes me cry. Beautiful song, reminds me of simpler times

[@mostguitarswins]

Such love and optimism. Thank you John for all the poems and songs. RIP 💓💓💓

[@johnboehmer6683]

This song always makes me think of my older brother who died way too young at age 37 from alcoholism, and always shreds me because of it. It sings of appreciating the simple things in life, which he did. It talks of future plans, which he never got. We all just kept waiting and hoping for him to pull out of his alcoholic mess, to finally get on with realizing the unbelievable potential his life had, the incredible talent God blessed him with, but it wasn't to be.

[@ejikemebenjamin5362]

Anytime I want emotional healings..I always listened to poems, prayers and promises

[@sunryse111]

We all need those healings during this pandemic crisis! Thanks, Ejikeme.

So many great songs and simple truths. ... *Johnny ye left us too soon*. rest in peace, weary warrior. I believe you loved the earth and people, ... but fame and broken relationships took their toll. no doubt about it.

2020 Still Listening on This Song...Anyone?

This was the first record I have ever bought back in 1980. I was 11 years old. and I still find that this song is magic.

John Denver was 53 years old, when he died on October 12, 1997 at the time!!!

[@deborrastrom8559]

He sacrificed his family to help encourage the world 🌎...he missed out on the daily life of his own family & simple pleasures he truely loved soo much. ❤ I just think 🤔 people like him should do recordings close to home on their own time. Still their gifts 🎁 can reach the 🌎. They can Do local things & people go to them & only do TV specials that their own family go to. So Family remains first ! ❤ I never went to a concert of his & never needed to > and he effected my life for the good just the same. All I needed were Records / Dvds/ cds. TV special 1x yrly. ❤ to his kids & other family.

[@SteveBagnall-gh1fu]

So am I.

[@rosethorn2873]

How sweet & important it is to care. About yourself im not a leftover no . God didnt make me a leftover. Not in His image- im not. Love transforms if when we allow it. I hope Johnny knows I genuinely miss him- pray I can be as genuine kind courageous- ask sweet Jesus to do His Will to talking together everyday. No sorrow but braver- obediance- discern in Hope Faith Love- LIGHT in LIFE! Keep no fear in dark theres only LIGHT in good gentler God.

[@gaylewest9349]

Thank you, Shelagh. I had a lovely holiday in Ireland, back in June 1990. We stayed in the village of Fethard near the southern tip of Ireland. Happy memories of when my little son was just two and a half years old.

I always loved this one by John. He's really my husband's favorite artist. All the songs like this are what I like this, Mike likes the "hits". Merry Christmas to you & your family Victor!

[@sunryse111]

Mike has good taste. I am not really into Country music, but I make a huge exception with this artist - I have all his albums and love almost every track. I send you my best wishes for the holiday season too, Karen. I will be away in Scotland for a week, so there will be no uploads here over the Christmas week.

[@kentclark6420]

In the movie about his life, there is a girl who ( I believe told Annie while accidentally coming across her in an elevator), that she was just about to kill herself one day, when she just happened to hear this song on the radio. The song changed her life around and gave her hope. And averted the suicide.
