Anyone out there John Denvers fans?

Post Reply New Topic

I have been a fan of his music since the day I was born. I was born in 1975 when he was at his height fame-wise. My mother was a huge fan and had all his albums. She saw him several times in concert. I saw him once when I was 6 at Canada's Wonderland (would have been 1981 Some Days Are Diamonds Tour) but I don't recall any of it unfortunately. My mother stopped listening after 1983's It's About Time when he divorced Annie. I kept listening though. I love his melodies and his lyrics. I love the way he sings about nature and peace. When I'm having a bad day or feeling down his music picks me up again. My goal one day is to see the Rocky Mountains for myself. I was very sad the day he died. My mother started listening to his music again after that. So...anyone else enjoy his music too? Favorite songs?

Mine are:
I'd Rather Be In Colorado
Looking For Space
Farewell Andromeda
I'd Rather Be A Cowboy
This Old Guitar
Leaving On A Jet Plane
Rocky Mountain High
My Sweet Lady
Poems, Prayers and Promises
The Mountain Song
I Want To Live
Singing Skies and Dancing Waters
Shanghai Breezes
Let Us Begin (What Are We Making weapons For?)
Eagle and the Hawk
Whispering Jesse

P.S. did you notice my avatar?

I really like John Denver's music. So beautiful and heartful. I like "Rocky Mt. High" and "Calypso" among others. My husband has a cousin who is schizophrenic and had an obsession with John Denver that was so strong that she threw herself off of a rooftop when he died. Luckily, she lived, but wow.......
I met John Denver at Lake Tahoe in 1981 when he played there. He was a really nice, quiet, friendly person.

I love John Denver. My favourite song has to be 'Annie's Song'.

Dhawal:
I've come across the one before, but not the second. Thanks. Or as John himself would put it at the end of his shows: "Peace my friends. Thank you!"

Mummy of Peanut: That's a good one. My Mom gets a little cynical when it comes to this song. She says how can he still sing it when he divorced her?

Annies Song, a classic, I remember seeing John Denver singing the song on Top of the Pops.
