  • Although the song was written about St. Francis by John's friend, Michael Martin Murphy, as John states in the intro, he felt it could've been written by him and that it could be about him.

    This voice is as close to a perfectly tuned instrument as has ever existed. Mis you John. What a gift you were to the universe.

    one of my all time favorite songs sung by JD and by MMM who wrote it. I had thought for years he wrote it, it is very in tune with many of his songs and lyrics. Still grieve his loss all these years later. The world lost more than a talented artist when he passed. He was an advocate for nature, for the animals.

    His voice is purely magnificent. Amazing breath control. Makes me sad he is no longer with us.

    I have to admit I was a closet John Denver fan throughout my life. Never admitted it to my friends, but when alone I would listen to him daily behind closed doors. Gone way too soon.

      I hear you, our family listened to it however, I told one of my friends growing up and she always teased me about it, but I knew she just didn't get it. Her loss.

    I played this song at my brother's funeral last year. Taken from COVID, he was THE biggest JD fan. Just an incredibly lovely song...and to now learn it was was of John's favorite as well....I smile.

    MMM said it was the first paycheck he got for one of his songs; and said lovingly of JD, "There was nobody like him."

      A true passion for what he loved doing the most. Playing for a audience. And yes, you not only hear it you can feel it. JD truly loved to put feeling into his music. A true art. Beautiful.

    People should acknowledge Michael M. Murphy wrote this song appearing on his Geronimo's Cadillac (1972). It was his first song he wrote that he was paid for. It's a good album. Check it out. I wish JD would have mentioned MMM more re this song. Beautiful song....one of his favorites.

      MMM is credited and mentioned in the description. John did mention often in concerts that it was written by MMM. Also John sang harmony on a couple of MMMs songs.

    I don't believe this is 1981. John looks younger than that in this recording. It's one of many of my favorite songs of his. Love him still
    hope to see him in heaven 🙏 ❤
