Me

O yes I am ❤

I had the privilege of knowing him when I lived in Aspen 45 years ago.

Here...

indeed. i miss him so much, and would have loved to have seen what he could do the rest of his life. I saw him in concert in an outdoor amphitheater in California in 1984. He was somewhat sad, as he shared about his divorce from Annie. I was surprised he could get through singing Annie's Song. I'll never forget that concert. What a beautiful man.

Sweet. Sorry for your losses. Beautiful song. ❤

For you, always ❤

I wish I knew what Mr. Denver was singing here but I’m deaf & sadly there’s no closed captions provided!

@@DippyHippie Just to look in your eyes again Just to lay in your arms Just to be the first one always there for you Just to live in your laughter Just to sing in your heart Just to be everyone of your dreams come true Just to sit by your window Just to touch in the night Just to offer a prayer each day for you Just to long for your kisses Just to dream of your sighs Just to know that I'd give my life for you For you, for the rest of my life For you, all the best of my life For you alone, only for you Just to wake up each morning Just to you by my side Just to know that you're never really far away Just a reason for living Just to say, "I adore" Just to know that you're here in my heart to stay For you for, the rest of my life For you all, the best of my life For you alone, only for you Just the words of a love song Just the beat of my heart Just the pledge of my life, my love, for you

Yes!! I so agree with this...when a performer can have such a simple song and bring you into his performance then its so special..This one does that..Also when the younger version of the Bee Gees singing "In the Morning" does the same..The simpler days when music was music..Thank goodness for you tube!

I was a senior in college at CU when he died, and I will never forget hearing the news. I grew up on his music, and listen to him every day.

I cant understand why he left so soon. There was so much for him to give. I really miss him😢😢

Such a beautiful song sung so beautifully. Rog. Pacific sunset records.

Maybe they didn't get any further than Annie's song which is a shame as this song shows what an amazing singer he was and a talented pianist also. Rog.pacific sunset records.

His voice touches my soul. Gwad, I miss this talented, environmentalist, poet! The world lost a great one…

That would certainly have been a privilege to have known the great man. Such a talented Singer Songwriter. That stunning voice of his is amazing, and from what i can gather a wonderful person also, such a shame he was taken away from this world so young

SO LUCKY…….MY HERO.

You were truly blessed 🙌

He was cute i know that much, we never had the privilege of meeting him., I wonder which woman this song was about? because he had many women , that is the reason he and Annie broke up.

Although I never met him, as you say, he was so exceptional, so PURE, his voice so pitch PERFECT - I can feel the truth & warmth of your words...& deeply agree.

Yes!

No doubt.

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

So many of my favourites are the least known ones. Still listen to his albums.

Hello Judith, how're you doing today...!

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

My favorite concerts ever! x 2.

He wrote this for his 2nd wife. She left him to. Not long after singing this song, he died in the plane crash. So sad 💔

Love this song.

Isn't this the most beautiful song ever sung? By one of the best singers, writers, activist for equality; in this country.❤

@@mogulledge7095 It IS sad, we lost an immensely gifted songwriter and singer. The only consolation I can feel is that he packed a heck of a lot into his brief life.

I miss Dad so much 😭😭😭 Pains.💔💔💔😭😭💔💔😭😭😭

Angel voice ❤️🙏

This song touches my soul

His voice and talent was heavenly anointed.

True. Great song,great voice

WELL SAID !!

Should've learned from momma how to spell correctly, bawling.

G. J. M. Stupid comment

Feel the same way. I never appreciated his music until I was older, and he - unfotunately - passed away. Now I understand the beauty, simplicity but majesty of his music!! Superb!! 👍

@@Chukartramp ❣️ SHAME ON YOU, COULD HAVE JUST WROTE TO HER HOW TO SPELL IT CORRECTLY, DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE THE MEAN THING!! Also Sad! You are a mean Person that think they are Perfect!!!

Visit his Memorial Garden in Aspen Colorado. It's a beautiful, humbling experience. Loved JD for his music and his efforts to make this world a better place for all.😢❤

I so agree

Amen to everything you wrote.

Johns songs are so heart felt and full of so much meaning between two people

He did like to call himself a 'western singer'

🕊 ❤️ 🔔

My wife and I saw him at the Waikiki Shell in 1987, great concert at a great venue

I loved him so but something tells me that he was much better at singing about love than actually living it out.

John Denver sadly passed in October 1997.

He was a true talent

@Conrad in Hawaii ....John died in 1997...NOT 1994 !

First concert I went to with my husband when we were dating in 1975...been married 48 years and still listen to John Denver

😢😢😢😢

I am almost sure about this, that in one interview he said that what he had was a gift. and he knew it. He was aware of that. I miss him like anything. I took my parents in the early 90's to see his Christmas concert on Long Island. My father was a VERY discriminating person. He stood up and cheered at the concert's end. because whatever he did, it was quality. He knew his concerts were geared toward being perfect. He was truly the steward of a "gift" from God. But---his broken heart was his own stupid fault. He didn't have to cheat, and cheat, and cheat......on Annie. He didn't have to do that. but he was an imperfect human, as we all are. God Bless.

@@annasteffiesolenick9732 Well, according to his book, he "had to". Throughout the book, he comes up with various explanations for his behavior. After sheepishly admitting that there had been "innocent amours" before, he cited the emptiness of a hotel suite after a concert as a reason for indulging his "romantic inclinations". The next time, it was because he had been seduced, by Jerry Weintraub's secretary, for example. Then he seems to have a need to compensate for some emptiness in his life with hedonism on tour, which includes drinking champagne and picking up women. Then, steering toward the end of his marriage with Annie, he has a semi-serious affair ("more than hello and goodbye") and makes it sound like he was looking out for someone who values him more. By the time he is frustrated in his marriage with Cassie, it sounds like: If you are doing it, I'm doing it to. -- To put it in his own words: "Sometimes you have to be more true to yourself than to your partner in order to keep the relationship healthy. Is there a gene for mutual deceit?" I'm glad that he didn't pursue a career in marriage counseling. Well, I wasn't born yesterday, I know how men are wired. While it's true that they think with their pricks (I never met an exception), they also have a masochistic side. They are drawn toward women who treat them like shit.

Lucky and blessed to have seen JOHN in person during an outdoor concert in Park City, CO Love his songs and music He was an awesome singer. May God bless him in heaven.

@@annasteffiesolenick9732 Please don't judge remember she married him Knowing what his job was and wouldn't travel with him he was alone so there is two sides to every story

What can one say absolutely brilliant his music will live on with in us and to share.

YES HE WAS.....😢🙏💞💫🌟

@Louise Mcilwaine Yes, I miss him so much 😭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@Louise Mcilwaine Feel exactly the same. Just listened to this song again and crying my eyes out! Saw him in concert in Glasgow. What an absolutely wonderful evening. Listen to him often, never forgotten.

I think this may be my favorite John Denver song. It's breathtaking.

Hello Margaret, how're you doing!!!

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

Best concert I have ever been to

Everyday i listen to his songs, he's my favorite until now!

Me too! I will never stop listening to his music. ❤

Yes! Perhaps Love is a little sadder though. My husband sang this to me at our wedding--today he e-mailed this to me to remind me. I'll admit, I forget sometimes how lucky I am!

Agreed🙏🏻

Indeed!!!!

Yes

Yes!

I still do hearing his voice

Breakingbreak Heart

We ALL cried, Frances. He was a treasure.

I too cried when John Denver died, I loved and still love his music. Forever in my heart.. All the way from Africa-kenya

Me too and I don't mind admitting it. Rog. Pacific sunset records.

My friend just introduced this to me. We have not met yet but we share music and I am so touched by these words. Never heard this one growing up with J Denver.

He Wrote this song for his last wife Cassandra.

Wow! well said......a loyal fan

It's one of his best I believe. Powerful.

Me too. Can't believe I didn't hear this one. Annie's Song was my go to song for feelings but now this is on my playlist.

Me 2!

He wrote it later in life, 1988 I believe and performed it for the first time at the bicentennial celebration of Australia's founding.

He was one of my favorites singers. Jst found out last nite frm UKposts. Thank you.

Soooooo wish I'd managed to see him perform live. He was my mum's favourite singer and absolutely one of mine. His songs never fail to move me.

Miss him so much. Angel voice

Love him so much

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

He was decapitated upon impact and died instantly. So sad. He was only 53 years old.

Blessings to you both Mollie!!

We have been together since May 1968, wife and love this song

Agree. What a beautiful song this is.

My 50th Anniversary is 12/16. I have wanted to sing FOR YOU to my bride for many years. I thank God I’ll be able to do it like JD. I love your tribute. Thank you. GMV

Amazing,pulls on my heart strings...x

Amazing...pullson Lynne art strings...

Agree with you!

Nice words

I sang this song at a wedding in Connecticut, and I was let go from the band the following week. It wasn’t that I sang it so well ( I did my best to do this song justice), but it was the attention that it took away from the other Egos in the band. Lol. Haven’t sung the song since that day, but it’s such a beautiful wedding or love song!

@@bobmcnelis3648 Well I hope You sing the song agian, people are so cruel it's 😢 Sad how Cruel they are Bless You for singing it.

Happy 25th Anniversary a bit early! My husband and I married 6-1-96 ~ we’re right there with you 🙋🏻‍♀️

Indeed, even me, his voice and the impressive acoustics of his piano and violins drives my emotion into an overwhelming passion of his music.

The most beautiful love song with so much love.

Perfection. Yes. That's it. Not many achieve that mark. This did. Thank you for saying it.

Oh John you left us too soon. Whose gonna make more sensical and beautiful music for us like the way you do? Thanks John for the unselfish talent shared we'll continue listening to you.

Yes@

Pam Benningfield 2020 😥 loved him so much. Never get tired of listening to his music. He was the best.

2020 and he is my favorite singer of all time. I was supposed to see him the year he died. I still feel such a loss.

Wonderful!! My name is Zachary, son of John Denver, I know you are shocked to get a text from me 😊I want you to be calm, sincerely this is my official UKposts. He must have passed away but was loved by many across the globe. Feel free to write to me, tell me how his music has kept you going. I love you. Happy new Year lover of JD. 💕💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m here in 2021!

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

I beg to differ; I believe John's voice was better than Elvis'. He has a greater range and uses it. I always felt that Elvis was holding back when he sung. He had a bigger voice than he usually showed.

You have great taste in music.

I. love. that. song

What a charming story. Thank you for sharing.

Keenan Warner It IS!

If it isn't it's a close second. Thanks for all the wonderful memories John. God bless and rest in piece.

Yes

It is!

Exquisite indeed. I like to think that as he sang this his thoughts were of Annie. Such a beautiful voice.

I don't know who you are but i wud like to sympathise with you on the passing of your partner. Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪.

I hear you my friend...Love..Love..Love 1/11/20

yesssssss

Totally agree

I agree with that completely. I have been a huge fan of his since I was 7. Over 50 years. Do the math. I did not hear this song until about 7 years ago. It is my favorite love song. His voice continued to improve as he aged. This song really highlights some of those improved strengths. RIP. I will miss him until I pass.

Yes, yes, yes!

My Mum loves this ... and JD.... it was played at my Dad's funeral earlier this year..... (I hate COVID)....

Great songs are like those we truly love. They are always in our hearts and memories.

@@KAF128 💔 I'm so very sorry for your Loss , Bless You ❣️

In some of his performances of "For You," John says he's not much of a pianist but he chose it especially for this song. I think it makes it that much more exceptional.

I may be mistaken - he speaks to his limited piano skills in this performance of “Perhaps Love”: music.ukposts.info/have/v-deo/aqN1ZY5ufKlirY0.html&si=I1dA_b9s_iMF_sjx

Bernadette Sikiotis My husband and I danced to this at our wedding, too! Twenty-four years...

Our daughter is getting married in 4 weeks (July 2019) and she's walking down the aisle to this song........it's beautiful and timeless. Missing his songs, style and grace in this present day.........happy for UKposts!

My husband and I have been married 20 years also and we had a friend of my daughter's sing this while we signed the register. It still brings tears to my eyes as I remember the most wonderful day of my life....

This was also my wedding song on the 13/10/1990 and then John Denver leaving us on our wedding anniversary 7 years later RIP John such a great artist and songwriter

@@darrendavis8699 I am from the UK ,He is truly missed if you have problems i put John on I know it sounds strange but his music relaxis me .

I was definitely the only one I knew that had pictures of John Denver hanging in my dorm room. It was 1992.

Hello, Marie, How are you doing?

Simple Music can make you sing. a Simple hug can make you feel better, Simple things can make you happy, i hope my Simple Hello makes you smile..

see my take on it all below. men!!!! sorry creatures sometimes LOL. I said below that I brought my parents to his Christmas concert on Long Island in the 90's. my Dad had the best time---and he was NOT easy to please. He (John) said somethiing once about "the type of concert we give...." meaning----he worked very, very hard at quality. and it sure showed. He brought joy to so many. and it will never be possible to replace him. RIP

Maybe because he was an abusive alcoholic and cheat? He also wrote Annie's song and was cheating on her. I still love his work and his talent, but realize he, like so many other talents, was a real person with real issues.

@@gmfutube No one is perfect. His exes did well out off his money he looked after them all ,he did the hard work touring etc & the exes sat by the pool sunbathing & spending his dosh, come to think of it they were all as guilty as him for cheating, & one of them only used him to further her career, never no smoke without fire, i'm not surprised he turned to drink forget all the bickering about him &just enjoy his voice. Have a great day. :)

@@mightymo3044 Gee, I had no idea he was a twat, I just liked his music, never really followed him.

@@gmfutube if he truly was in love with me and just me, personally I wouldn't care if he screwed around with other women. As long as he didn't have a close relationship with them, I'd be fine with it. One night stands wouldn't bother me much, especially if he wasn't very close to her and never saw her again.

NOPE !!

@@stevemann3080 why do you use all caps

@@RealWalterWhite123 EASIER TO SEE FOR US BLIND FOLK MATE.

@@stevemann3080 That's Fair Enough, I Wish More People Knew About John Denver.

@@RealWalterWhite123 HE WAS "DEFINITELY" NOT PLAYED ENOUGH ON AIR AND LOTS OF PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS LAME !! LITTLE DO THEY KNOW !! HIM AND GLEN CAMPBELL ARE MY 2 FAVES FOR COUNTRY MALE ARTISTS !! AND I GOT TO SEE EM BOTH LIVE IN THE 80s.

100% CORRECT !!

just to think if we as a whole how inspiring it would be to have his veiw on peace ,it would be a beautiful place to live ,too much hate,too little peace we need more of him in this world

I so agree....beautiful
