Welcome to my channel! This is a music reaction channel. For the longest time, I've loved creating content on the internet. I started off with a gaming channel right here on KZbin, which eventually turned into a Twitch gaming channel, but as time has gone on I've evolved into doing other things on KZbin. For years now I've wanted to create a music channel on KZbin, and recently just figured "why not?", so it’s time to give this a go! Give me any suggestion you have for music reactions, and I will do my best to get around to them. As music has fallen further out of my life, I figured this would be a great time to get reintroduced to music.
If you enjoy this video and my reactions make sure you subscribe to the channel, like the video and comment down below which video you would like to see me react to next.
This is a reaction video used to educate and give my feedback on the song and artists.

In reality, none of the writers of the song came from West Virginia but they started on a song about country roads taking them home and ended up using West Virginia as the state because it sounded right. Thank goodness for West Virginia because it became the state's official song.

John Denver was so special …

Back in the early '70s I hitchhiked around the northwest US for a year or two. A couple days before Christmas, I got a ride to a Des moines truck stop and found a trucker willing to take me to my parents about an hour north. Driving north across the snow-covered fields, stars and a full moon shining this song came on the radio and all I could do was lean my forehead on the icy window. The trucker took me to the front door.

My wife is from West Virginia. I had never been there before, but now I absolutely love the state and the people! They are so proud and so family oriented!!! The state has become such a part of my soul.

I was watching the NFL game in Germany last season. The crowd was singing this song.

'Like a warm blanket' or perhaps a 'down sleeping bag.' The man provided the soundtrack of the backpacking/camping revival of the 70s. Unwittingly helping sell boots, tents, skis, backpacks and down vests.

Rubbing my hands together in glee looking forward to this.

This song was released in 1971 and when I first heard it I just thought of the boys coming home from the war in Vietnam

John Denver was huge in the 70's. His music was inescapable back then and hearing it today takes me back to being a kid listening to the radio with my parents -- "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Rocky Mountain High", "Sunshine on My Shoulders", "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", "Calypso" -- It's easy for me to get nostalgic listening to those songs today. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" comes with the nostalgia baked in. Even when I was a kid I thought the song was already a hundred years old.

@albertscanlon2005

Your so right Shawn with the "warm blanket" analogy.John Denver one of the best singer song-writers there has ever been.

@djt8518

This song is known all around the world

"ROE-duh-DEN-drun" :) According to legend, John was on the same bill as Danoff and Nivert. They played him what they'd worked out of a new song and John instantly said "we need to finish this song now!" and the three of them spent all night rewriting and polishing it. The duo are the backing vocalists on the recording. As for "warm blanket" I alway think of these songs as warm bath songs - you just let the music flow over you like warm water. Another artist of the same era with a similar sound worth checking out is Glen Campbell.

John Denver left this world way too soon. I'd love to hear a reaction to "Sunshine On My Shoulders."

@rk41gator

Ol' John Denver can really take us home, can't he?

I saw John Denver in concert in Houston, in 1973. There were only 3 people on stsge, John Denver, a second guitar player, and an upright bass player. Such a great show! What a voice!
