![John Denver / The Wings That Fly Us Home [09/21/1993]](/img/n.gif)
John Denver was my late husband most favourite singer and he played him constantly on Utube and CD's in the car. Since his death a year ago I have constantly played his music and it has been a comfort and helped me to feel closer to him. His words are beautiful and I have come to the realisation there weas noboby else like him. Linda Martin
Linda...all of us who shared and loved Denver's music share a common bond in our appreciation of his talent.
@@jeffklayman2072 Ron requested that "The Wings that Fly Is Home" be played at his funeral. I had never heard of it and the words are so beautiful
Love John Denver. He was one of God‘s gifts to us all.
We are very fortunate we can listen to John's beautiful songs. He was a unique and an amazing talent. Sleep well John and thank u for ur beautiful music. ❤❤❤
He was never given the credit he deserved for his guitar playing skills. One of the best.
Saw John do this at Red Rock will never forget the crowd dead silent till the last note fell then a standing ovation. Chills on chills.🙏
It's a very rare talent to bring thousands of people to a standstill. To hang on every note and be immersed in the beauty of the music. JD was blessed with a voice that cut right through to your heart and soul. I was fortunate enough to see him in concert a number of times.
My God.... how beautiful. I'm 65 now and this song brought me to tears... Been loving John and his music for SO MANY years since the early 70's...
John didn't write this, but his version is awesome
He lives on in each of us who loves John...❤❤❤ forever JD
❤💯
I listen to his music nearly daily. He was a good man.
Yup! CD in my car now! Hit play as soon as I get in!
One day I may be able to listen to this without crying- but I doubt it (and hope not) !!!❤😢
Have been a fan since 1969. I was driving home & heard this song on the radio about the Rocky Mountains, which I have always loved! Couldn’t wait to get home & tell my hubby I heard this guy on the radio singing about the Rocky Mountains! Have all his recorded songs! Saw him perform in Tulsa twice & met him! Used his music for staff meetings at the camp which we directed. I’ve been to Aspen & I’m thankful for his heart, for his generosity, & for his music! Nothing like it before or since!
I've been a JD fan since he started (in fact John's dad was my dad's commanding officer at Carswell Air Force Base back in the early '60's) but I have NEVER heard him sing this one. What a hidden gem.
John you stole my heart many years ago. Still love you and cherish your music. Rest in peace my hero
😢 John will never be forgotten.
His soft voice has touched many lives and still continues to do even though he's physically gone. oh, dear john, such a blessed soul.
One of the songs my dad used to sing and play on his guitar... he taught me to play when I was in my early teens. We both would sing and play together. He left us September 2017 at 93... miss you Daddy....
Such pain and sorrow in each note and phrase. Would that he was with us, appreciated for what his music meant to so many ~
Beautiful voice & beautiful song! They both will live forever in American legend.
The talent of John Denver will not soon be seen again. Relish what he left us.
These comments are tender and beautiful. JD can still touch us and brought out the best parts.
This reminds me of my parent's leaving Earth.
I really miss him.He was a great singer. I am a Colorado native.
This is so tender and young and innocent brings tears to my eyes.
Love John denver and his voice is beautiful. Gone to soon. 😢
I saw John Denver when he came to Australia, his concert was the best ever I have ever been too..really miss him .💕
Loving this beautiful song on this evening with John Denver...……….His voice is oh so soothing...…...
Ahh but this is beautiful... Really tugs at the heartstrings. Can only be John Denver... Great heartfelt interpretation... Unforgettable!
Awsome song… i have played this song over and over its such a well written song that just brings u back to the 80’s
John Denver was a very
Sensitive man. I love his music, it's always relevant & relaxing. Love you John!
Beautiful song, thank u John.
I have never heard John Denver sing this. Just beautiful!
I think of myself (ok…I know I’m not the only one, but I really believe this) as John’s biggest fan, but I’ve never heard this either! Is it from an album? Clearly I missed something. 😅
In any case, John, I’ll miss and love you forever. 🌹🙏🏻❤️☮️
I came to John's version from Tom Paxton - the songwriter.
@@patriciapalmer3899 Look up John Denver Skip Weshner on TH-cam, it is from a radio show you can listen to on here for free!
RIP John Denver... beautiful songs... beautiful man♥️💐
Such passion and emotion in his sweet voice....
One the most beautiful American songs ever written.
This is a hymn to every failed relationship.
Gone but never forgotten. Love remains always in the heart
I've just found this, he could sing and play anything. What a human being. RIP...
Thank you for this.....
Beautiful, so many fond memories from the '70's. RIP John, always in my mind.

The true vibes of John Denver and his music -- sincere, always the sadness, a search for prolonged happiness that he never found, long lasting.
John Denver now really understands a HKUST graduate namely Chow Man Kuen Tracy....... wherefore and why?John Wenver
Great song and voice John Denver forever........Wonderful photos...God Bless and RIP my friend..3/29/20
You left us, John, with no sign of farewell but there was more than a trace left behind!! Bless you. ❤️
He will always be remembered for his gentle mellow songs.rest in peace John.
Beautiful music. I miss that man!
Will always love and miss him
John Denver sang like an angel. How fortunate for all he touch with his music. Thanks Caroline for spreading the joy.
amen..
John left us to early
He was undoubtedly a gift to mankind. He did bring sunshine on our shoulders.
Yes, he truly did. Nicely put.
John was and is the greatest singer of this generation. I loved him, his music and the life he lived. It was just so short. His music is a gift that always gives. He has shaped many memories in my life, my first boyfriend and I discovered him together. He passed in 2005. This so reminds me of him. His name is John too. Love you John both of you.
Beauty of moments spent with heartfelt music like this.....nostalgic bliss.
Wow! As a huge John Denver fan, I have never heard this before.
I have not heard it either
Wow! Love John Denver......miss him sooo much...RIP
Me too !
Me too 🙏🏼💕
I wonder if Tom Paxton ever thought this many people would cover this song. Beautiful.
Love this. Such a sweet sad song in his young voice.
I'm 12 and I love John Denver
Richard Crookston Glad you like John Denver, he was a very good musician and a great man.
Beautiful!
My dad used to sing this to me when i was young…him and his guitar… ohhh how i wish i could have 2 more days or even hours…i love u dad
Denver is like Karen Carpenter and a few other singers who have preciously unique voices that impart a personal stamp to whatever they sing. This isn't 'better' than the Tom Paxton original, it is lovely because it is John Denver's voice singing it.
Thank you for sharing John Denver singing...we lost him too soon
Beautiful pictures......Handsome man, John Denver...Love. Love.,,Love…..Beauiful song...
What a beautiful rendition of that beautiful song. I have always loved John singing folk songs - he was a true minstrel. Thanks for sharing.
John Denver is a legend. Thank you for your voice and performances. I'm going to give a great big cry now cos I loved you and your beautiful voice.
I am crying, so beautiful
Such a great song! It's no wonder so many great artists wanted to do it!
I read Neil Diamond wishes he wrote it. I like Neil's version, but prefer Tom Paxton's original and this one by John D.
@@idratherbeinwdwI first heard a version of this song by Jose Feliciano. I was blown away! Yes, Tom Paxton's version is the best.
Such innocence and tender joy!
Thanks John
Happy Birthday John. Most beautiful rendition of this gorgeous tune. RIP Angel.
I sure miss John and his spirit....a very sensitive and thoughtful man who did so many wonderful things for this world.
amen.....
So lovely...never heard him sing this before. Miss him so much.
Great Tom Paxton song. John does it proud.
John you were my hero and still to this day your loved by so many were are you when we need you now with your special mind your projects are needed now more then ever I love you ❤ gone but not forever forgotten. 💯❤️💜🙏

I forget what a talent he was and then I stumble on this.I miss John Denver. God blest you
WOW WOW WOW!! - What a great find for a song I know so well and never heard John sing. Same as so many that I thought I heard all his songs. Almost like a new song, well at least it is for me. Miss you John, the world is so less beautiful without you.
he soothes my soul
thank you tom for writing this song,its for john and annie god bless them both xx
Never heard John sing this before,,,it's awesome!
+Dan King Very glad you had enjoyed this beautiful song
Dan, I agree. I've never heard John sing like this before because he usually sings a song much better.
Neither have i. But i wonder if he ever made a song that went no where. Everything his voice touches is beautiful.
Denver believed in Spirit and completely in the Native American Legend.
candy nichols & et al;
It always really surprised me, despite the blonde hair, that John's ethnic background was totally Germanic - if you compare his facial features to those of many of Native American heritage, you'll note the high, prominent cheekbones, the close-set eyes, the squared jaw, somewhat thin lips... those soulfully-deep chestnut eyes... Man! Change the hair color and skintone, you'd be hard-pressed to get any closer!
No, sadly, I don't believe that John was a Christian (born-again, etc.). He certainly did honor his son Zak's part-Native heritage, as well as daughter Anna Kate's Asian heritage.
That said, I know from his own words that he -did- believe in a Divine Being, ie:God, just not in religion or the tenets of any particular Christian denomination (although he had attended Presbyterian churches from time to time and his Mennonite ancestors certainly had an influence on him as well). He saw religion and religious practices (in the main) as ways of dividing people from each other and, as anyone knows, John was all about unity and bridging (or even breaking down) those barriers.
He spoke often of his lifelong, intensely spiritual relationship with the natural world; referring to various things as being his/our "mother", "father", "brother", "sister"; and his sense of family with all people, all living beings, everywhere.
He firmly believed that by going beyond those "artificial" barriers - of ethnicity, religion, political and philosophical ideologies, etc. - that people all around the world could overcome all of that and, by working together, eliminate the scourges of hunger, war and destruction of the natural environment. His belief in these ideals came from a place deep within, a place he could only really share through his music & with his audiences; compared to his difficulties in his interpersonal communication with those closest to him.
John Denver is the epitome of the artistic "great soul", ever fated to be held in such great esteem by the masses, who struggled so mightily to express his feelings to those most dear to him but often failed in that, miserably.
***Sorry for long reply - I tend to get that way when talking about El Mæstro!
It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
As I lie in my bed every morning
Without you, without you
Each song in my heart dies aborning
Without you, without you
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
You've got reasons a-plenty for going
This I know, this I know
For the weeds have been steadily growing
Please don't go, please don't go
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you much better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
Are you going away with no word of farewell
Will there be not a trace left behind
I could have loved you much better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind
to become reacquainted--- with the music of John Denver and Peter Paul and Mary--- is to Return to Forever--- to glimpse the Everlasting--- and tearfully so.
Just love this - thanks for sharing it. I sure miss JD...
Hauntingly remarkable.
Great song its good love it,
Perfectly perfect!
From Bandersnatch Coffeehouse, Denison University, Granville, Ohio, 15th March 1969 and from The Skip Weshner Show, KRHM-FM, Los Angeles, California, 23rd March 1970. John never recorded it. Enjoy the event at the Pacific Grove!!! -- Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video.
I’ve just listened to John sing this hauntingly beautiful song for the very first time and I’m crying uncontrollably, thank you for sharing 💓
Yes his voice sounds younger here..he.always had such a range and strong vocal quality ..so beautiful and tender.
Bella canción. Maravillosa la voz de Jhon Denver.
This is haunting
Just beautiful
Thanks, glad you have enjoyed my video.
So sad John Denver left us way too soon.
True.
Was just delving into that idea last night. RIP.
As Dan King commented, I also had never heard John sing this song. It's a song I have loved for a long time and John does a beautiful heartfelt cover. Vocals are just outstanding and so much feeling put into the way he sings it and lovely arrangement.
GRANDE BRANO ,JOHN SEMPRE IL MIGLIORE. DA ASTI UN SALUTO!
