This is a man who knew about the human spirit, and could flat out sing. I can't imagine there could be anyone who can match this level of singing in a hundred lifetimes.
Such a beautiful song and tribute to love...she does not look happy in this video. I'm happy that Annie made sure John's estate was given to his 3 children - a good woman and mother would do that. John seems to always be looking for love - he truly found it in Annie, but I also know sometimes troubled marriages can't always start over again, sometimes patterns get repeated too many times and it takes its toll on the relationship and one ultimately ends it. John was a happy, positive role model to all of us in the simple ways he loved life and our world. May be all learn something from him, his songs, his message. Let his life make the difference he hoped for. God bless you always John, we love and miss you!!
wow. her reaction is nothing like mine would be. i realize i dont know her, but if my husband were to write that song and sing that to me, i would be crying my eyes out. that song is incredibly beautiful and its my very first time hearing it, and i thought i heard all of his songs! John Denver was and is still a very prolific song writer, there will never be another John Denver. his passion when singing was unmatched. oh how i miss seeing him.
This is our wedding song. I listen to John's music almost daily. A part of me died with him. I'm an entertainer, and I'm doing my best to keep his music alive. I,too, will be a "johndenverfan4ever'!
I wish l had been the lady John sang this song to what an honour and a privilege I would have reacted in a more loving and at tentative way than his wife did she seemed so cold and unfeeling he deserved so much love admiration he is the most loving , compassionate, kindest man in the world and I will love him now and for ever will never be forgotten rip you beautiful man with the most perfect pitch voice the best in the world.paula xxx
for almost 40 yrs I have listened to John's voice; I sang his words in my head when I was so scared or angry. He got me thro some lonely nights and brightened up my days . Ilost almost all of my comrades bar three out of hundreds! The rest; just tossed aside ,J ohn's music sometimes makes me melencholy but his lyrics pull me up by my bootstraps!!! Miss u John!! .
I love John Denver! He was my first concert as a young girl. I was so suprised I'd never heard this beautiful song. This is the song I walked down the isle to become the wife of my beloved!
Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕
will always remember John and his music. WE lost a great, great humanitarian / songwriter / singer and environmentalist too soon. May you always fly high and may you never be forgotten...............
I love this song and I love John Denver's music. As I was listening this evening, all I could feel was my husband's love for me. He used to tell me so many of the same comments. For some strange reason, the song had a powerful effect on me ... more so than usual. John Denver truly was a man ahead of the times ... he actually felt what he sang and his feelings are passed on to the listener of his music. What a gift he had!
This amazing, beautiful song sums up the love I have for my wife. We have known each other 50 years and been married for 37 of them and my love and devotion for her grows stronger every day. I love you darling, please always love me. Thank you, John. RIP.
💕🙏🏼💕💕💕Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
I can feel the same way. I too lost my wife a short while ago and it was our favorite song. It says all you can say to your wife and now that she is gone I admit that I cry every time I hear the song. " big boys don't cry?" Well, I do.
This is one of my fav John D. songs.. It brings me tears - a lot of tears. John's music and lyrics have touched my life in so, so many ways. I will play his music and watch his videos forever. Happy New Year John, in that wonderful place in Heaven where I know you are.
He wrote beautiful love songs for his wives... I think actually living with him was not always easy... a moody, depressed man, and I mean no disrespect... artists are often mercurial creatures.......does not detract from the beauty of the song...thank you for posting this beauty....
You're absolutely right Rebecca. Was lucky enough to have spent some time with him, on a vacation in Alaska, 1990 or 91. I'm old. Lol. I don't know why us artists are affected this way. I was very troubled at his death. He was a hard drinker, but he was friendly and gave you his time. It seemed to me he wouldn't let anyone love him. Sad.
I agree, not easy to live with. Partners of these artistic geniuses if they're going to stay with them, probably need to accept that they will always be no.2 to their work, accept the moodiness and even sacrifice their own ambitions. Maybe worth it in some cases, like for JD, when you see what they produce for posterity.
John denver was an angel, i sang one of his songs when my fiance and i were having our engagement party.... Next year we will get married and JD belongs to our hearts. So I will learn to play guitar and do one or two of johns songs... John did not die , because his songs are here to stay..... Well casandra looked like she didn´t give a shit...... I just saw an interview with john, so humble so honest and so warm... JD you are truly missed from the bottom of my heart
That's not really fair. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of her, but John was by far no angel. It really surprised me how strongly I felt for Annie (and hence Cassie & Jessie) with having to face the abuse he doled out. I had no idea. Annie was much classier (IMHO) in handling it, but you never know how you'll react in a similar situation - your husband walking around with a chain saw cutting down everything he saw in the house??
So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "didn't give a s#!t" ? Y'all need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" Comments like these disgrace yourself, your family, your family's name long before those you seek to sully, including John. YES. Hello? When you seek to sully a man's wife, no matter posthumously, you seek to sully him. So, John is not here to stand up to this trash, but I am. I stand for John and his lovely wife, Cassandra, whom do not deserve the tripe comments here, comments of jealousy and selfishness. Don't see it? Well take 5, as in 5 years apparently necessary to grow up from the Nay-Sayer Lets-Bring-Everyone-Else-Down Club. Yup, that your club. Hello? SICK. Enough already. Don't like it? Tough, like I said: GO HOME! All of y'all nay sayers need to GO HOME. I am here to stand up for John and tell you: Keep your garbage to yourselves. Don't spread trash around when you don't know.... That's right. You don't know. You don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW a swinging thing.
I'm trying to imagine!!! Free of all judgement (please) this is amazing stuff we are blessed with!! There is only one of this amazing artist ~enjoy the magic!!!

I'm converting this song to play on my Guitar and will be playing this to my new Wife on our wedding day next June! :) I just hope I can sing it without starting to cry She has No Idea its coming

How sad and yet beautiful, This woman was a manipulator she took an kind, driven, loving man and manipulated and tricked him with her youth, her allure and she helped destroy him..he was one of the greatist environmentalists this Earth has ever known... ironically she looked a lot like ANNIE didn't she.. you see John was in LOVE with LOve itself, it fueled his music, his passions it was his inspiration and he trusted... John How I know your spirit is with us always LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!
I know this was a year ago BUT wonder if your still out there? I too have been a John Denver follower and fan all my life, he has been a part of my soul forever ever where I go and exist, in my good times and bad times..I love the outdoors so passionately and I often sing and share Johns songs as much as I can just shared WHose Garden WAS THIS, and Blue Skies and dancing waters...he was sooo gifted...
I hate to agree with you. I met her 3 years ago at an event and though it was ALL about John getting his star in Hollywood, she was fully disconnected. Very nice pesron, but this was about John and his fans... A great song I WISH I had written.

I'm a Michael Jackson fan. I love this song though. I grew up hearing Johns music my parents had his stuff on record and played it allot and Peter Paul & Mary. They now have his albums on tape and cd. My best friend Sonia is a John Denver fan. in fact her nickname is Mis John Denver. John Denver and Michael Jackson have both Gone to soon. Both were great humanitarians and wanted to make the world a better place.
I attended BOTH High School (FtWorth, TX) & college, (Texas Tech) with John. And sang with him as well as a group of we in FW before he grauduated. Annie was sitting i an audience at one concert and their "eyes met"....he rround out who she was, her contact, and wrote her she attended 2nd concert where they met. John was told early in their marriage he would 99% not father a child. Divorce happened cause they "grew apart".......when Peter,Paul, Mary recorded his "Leaving On A Jet Plane"....the rest is Denver history )(John "Dutch-n-dorf.' He was high demand and concerts, tv shows, etc....Annie stayed in Aspen ...to "hold down the fort"......sometimes did travel; w/him. But his concert schedule was sometimes too much, just too much. Married 14-15 yrs, divorced. He was w/freinds Sydney Australia...an Cassy w/friends in an nighclub where she pefomed (no I am not crazy about her voice and I have sung all my life)....he joked in an interview that one week after they married Cassy was pregnant and he was "far out" cause of "miracles do happen" dear John believed. But not so. Jesse, daughter has Mom'[s red hair (dominant over John's blonde hair)....from all Ive been told.......Cassy treated John HORRIBLY. For me who konew him o have a crazy fun perfonality......and yes sometimes depressson but that was caused by spousal disagreements and him gone too long when career demands were so high. but when John walked in to the club where Casssy sat duriong a break.......she was asked.."do youNKNOW wjo THAT is?"....."NO".....she was told. and she said "she had heard of him.'" For his HS/college singig goup we were FRIENDS.....now I wish tha short gal with MY 12 string.....then he got his after playing mine and oh .......was he terrfiic.......always....I still have mine. IT is 60ys old. got iot when I was 13, now am 73 and NO way would I part w/it. It is SO heavy I cannot play any longer....torn vocal chords =s I cannot sing but almost daily I continue to listen to THE most prolific song writer ever in my life.....EVER. It is 2020.....and my post is @ 5 yrs behind...but after listenng today and reading posts just wanted to say a few insights into this wonderful PERSON who did NOT deserve anything BUT LOVE from wives..........yes I look back on it......and gee.....I wish I had been more than a "little sister in our singning group."

I'm an old guy and whenever I recolect John Denver, I think of Annie. So If John decided to sing about his new wife, I cannot go along with that. Beautiful song but those nights listening to all the songs, only Annie will do as a mate to john in my view. We all make mistakes.

Hello? Some folks are raised to believe not to express an abundance of intimacy in public. As well, Cassandra is demure. So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "sad" ? Y'all need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" I lower myself to the level of your comment to stand up for John and Cassandra. Most folks will ignore the disgusting comments. I am not gong to do that because enough is ENOUGH. No one needs to read this tripe. Rather, y'all making the tripe need to read this: GO HOME! Comments like these disgrace yourself, your family, your family's name long before those you seek to sully, including John. YES. Hello?

What the hell?After his death,she was about the money, how sad....with no will,everything was in probate,his foundation and his kids and properties, 1st wife, kids have controll thru attorneys

one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.. but i hope the scenes are more on the haapy pictures and birghter days.. the setting is so gloomy here.. i might die of loneliness with this music and the gloomy scene in the background lol
The whole story of those two is pretty sad. .He was too deep and maybe a little too serious for her IMHO and she was nice ( only met her once ) but just a very different kind of spirit to what he truly needed. yet his music lives on and forever. that is what counts.
SO true! couldnt agree more. he did seem so deep and more in love than her, with him...shame. i often wonder if she ever listens to this song, and thinks of him and how much he loved her, enough so, to write this beautiful song? i wonder....
@@cheezit50 She didn't look very enthusiastic sitting next to him, and let him do all the talking. He seemed to keep jiggling her to get some kind of response.
Beautiful song. too bad he married a gold-digger that treated him so badly. John's two divorces broke his heart, ... but not his spirit. surely he had his flaws, ... but he SHOULD have had a woman the would stand by him and stay with him. it was one of the things he wanted most. I think he truly experienced divorce as a kind of personal hell.
Len Hummel He was gone for upwards of 8 months a year touring. It's hard to hold a family together when you're not there for years and you cheat on your wife while you're away. . She did stand by him, until she realized she deserved better. Shrug.
Yeah, Annie had to deal with the same thing. I really think a lot of her and how she handled things. But when your husband is gone, as you said, so many months of the year and then comes home and get S-faced every night and starting fights, it wears a person down. No matter how much you love them. I love JD's songs and him as a person, I love hearing Annie talk about him too. Life's no luxury ride no matter where on the spectrum you're at.
John was a great song writer and singer but he was also an alcoholic and when drunk, which was often, turned into a beligerent monster. He was charged with DUI, lost his pilots license as a result of drinking and in fact was flying illegally when he crashed.

debbie delraso They were divorced four years before he died, his estate went to his kids. Although I'm sure she finds a way to get money out of her daughter.

For You was for my girlfriend when Kayla and I argue, and fight together this is her other song. My Mom met John Denver when she was working at Hardees (Carl's Jr.) in Pueblo. My heart was broken when my girlfriend yelled at me.
@blzdiva Glad you told off on that golddigging biotch. It broke my heart when he married her because I knew what she was then. You could just tell. And I have heard that the little girl Jesse Belle does not belong to John. If that is true, what goes around comes around, and she will pay in spades. What a waste of time for John. She took custody of little JB and made her come out here to California, so I had read, and thus he searched for quicker ways to get here. I died a little the day he did.

All I know is if you play guitar you don't just start playing Johns songs, Somewhat complex use of cords that most people finds cords that easier to play or different arrangements.
After seeing this video, it is no wonder they divorced. If i was John i would have sent her the papers after the filming of this... Nothing but a cold fish.
Dont judge Cassie by this video, what you see is shyness, met her one year at Tamworth when we were singing at Harvey World Travel, a really nice lady....!
+01talentjudge ..... i am sure she is nice to some people. She strikes me as the type of person who is nice to the percentage of the public who are successful, but wouldn't give the time of day to a street person etc.. if so .... not my style
I felt the same way when I saw this. I'm guessing she didn't want to run into marriage like he did. I was at their 3rd wedding anniversary. You could tell she loved him very much. Nothing like this at all. In fact, you would have thought the roles exactly the opposite. John, ...and this is my experienced opinion only,.... was a victim of schizo-affective disorder, capped with alcholism. I attended the anniversary and mini concert in the lodge at Rainbow King Lodge, Illiamna, AK. 1991.
Interesting to read your observation about their 3rd Anniversary DJ Hess. According to a Woman's Day magazine article I have here, they split on October 16th, 1991, which is 3 years and 2 months after they were married and 2 months after your observation. According to the article, John threw Cassie out of the house and changed all of the locks which would back up your observation that he actually was not happy with her on their anniversary. He says in his book "she made a fool of me up and down the valley", so he obviously had or felt he had reason to be angry at her. It is interesting that you thought she acted loving to him on their 3rd Anniversary though, I wonder if she was acting for the benefit of those in attendance? She surely had to know that things weren't right between them because she said in an interview that they hadn't been able to communicate and were just leaving notes for each other around the house. The one thing we do all know for sure is that both of his wives have expressed their love for him after he died and that is a testament to the man he was. He might not have been easy to live with but both wives saw him for the good man he was.

I can find out for you. I'll ask my friend Sonia and get back to you. She knows allot about John Denver she's that big a fan. i could tell you about things on Michael Jackson though if you asked me One thing I do know about John is he and Elton John were close friends like brothers. I'll get back to you.
Cassy (as she spells it) cited in an article done in 1993 that John pursued the divorce from her. It was alleged, by John, that she ran around on him and made a fool of him (though Cassy states it was b/c John could not handle her "independent nature"). And that 'their' daughter was not actually John's biological daughter, but rather was sired by someone else. It was well-known that John was sterile (John was the one whom let that information become public) and that is why he and Annie adopted their two children. John refused to get a DNA test with regard to the daughter 'with' Cassy, so I have an inkling he did not want to receive some unhappy news if he had done one. Sad all the way around, IMHO. :( Does not diminish this stunningly gorgeous song though. John was THE BEST at creating stirring love songs. So much depth, passion, and beauty in that lovely man. I miss him greatly. I always will. You live on in my heart, John.
I love John Denver and his great gifts as a composer and singer as well as everyone but I lament the fact that he let alcohol take hold of his life. It was this that destroyed his two marriages due to the violent person he became when drinking. I've seen this in my own family. What a genius we lost. Let this be a lesson to all of us of what can happen to all of us when we surrender ourselves to drinking excessively.
@awriter4theman Seriously???? Do not judge...... she made John happy. No matter what you read or think you know, please don't post things like this on a site that is for honoring John.... Just my opinion...
Annie and John divorced due to his drinking and abusive nature is what I have read. Like you I wanted to know what happened to what seemed like an incredible love...... See a couple of my posts above. Like many women, she thought she could love him enough to change him.
Suenette Edwards I'm not really sure that's true. I don't think John was a big drinker when he was married to Annie. It was more the constant travel and his career that pulled them apart. From what I have read it was during his break up from Cassie that his drinking escalated. But even she said sfter his death that he was not an alcoholic. These things are never one dimensional. He could never have worked as hard as he did and achieved so much if his drinking was that bad. In his own words he went through "a dark night of the soul" after his relationship with Cassie broke down and that was when he had his DUI's. He was not drinking when he died, he had sorted himself out. Both wives still loved him when he died. He was a good man who had an extraordinary life with all the pressures that come with that.
Agreed. So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "didn't give a s#!t" ? Those making these comments need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" I lower myself to their level to stand up for John and Cassandra.

Her face tells all , we don't need to always know some one , their actions speak volumes, of cource john loved her but its obviously not returned , if she loved him at all then it wasn't a drop to how much he loved her , to have this most beautiful heavenly song written for you by anyone most of all your husband is incredible the lyrics were obviously felt when penned this man knew how to love thats true he is/was love personafied.

This is a man who knew about the human spirit, and could flat out sing. I can't imagine there could be anyone who can match this level of singing in a hundred lifetimes.
"She made a fool of me from one end of the valley to the other" is a quote that is on Wikipedia.
She didn't love him. In all videos i saw, she had a same cold face expression, until smilling
How so? I know more about Annie than Cassie. Thank you.
Such a beautiful song and tribute to love...she does not look happy in this video. I'm happy that Annie made sure John's estate was given to his 3 children - a good woman and mother would do that. John seems to always be looking for love - he truly found it in Annie, but I also know sometimes troubled marriages can't always start over again, sometimes patterns get repeated too many times and it takes its toll on the relationship and one ultimately ends it. John was a happy, positive role model to all of us in the simple ways he loved life and our world. May be all learn something from him, his songs, his message. Let his life make the difference he hoped for. God bless you always John, we love and miss you!!
Yes, I thought the same thing that she didn’t look happy. It’s funny when you’ve been through divorce yourself how it’s easy to spot in others
@@paulmartin9457 Sorry for your loss. Not an easy process to go through. Hoping the New Year is a good one for you!
wow. her reaction is nothing like mine would be. i realize i dont know her, but if my husband were to write that song and sing that to me, i would be crying my eyes out. that song is incredibly beautiful and its my very first time hearing it, and i thought i heard all of his songs! John Denver was and is still a very prolific song writer, there will never be another John Denver. his passion when singing was unmatched. oh how i miss seeing him.
shallow reactions..not feeling it, but maybe just shy
This is our wedding song. I listen to John's music almost daily. A part of me died with him. I'm an entertainer, and I'm doing my best to keep his music alive. I,too, will be a "johndenverfan4ever'!
I played this song at my husband's funeral, it is such a beautiful song.
I wish l had been the lady John sang this song to what an honour and a privilege I would have reacted in a more loving and at tentative way than his wife did she seemed so cold and unfeeling he deserved so much love admiration he is the most loving , compassionate, kindest man in the world and I will love him now and for ever will never be forgotten rip you beautiful man with the most perfect pitch voice the best in the world.paula xxx

How sad it is that such a wonderful, sensitive and talented man did not find true love... today I think that only God has such love for us ❤
I love this song and I love John Denver's music. As I was listening this evening, all I could feel was my husband's love for me. He used to tell me so many of the same comments. For some strange reason, the song had a powerful effect on me ... more so than usual. John Denver truly was a man ahead of the times ... he actually felt what he sang and his feelings are passed on to the listener of his music. What a gift he had!
This amazing, beautiful song sums up the love I have for my wife. We have known each other 50 years and been married for 37 of them and my love and devotion for her grows stronger every day. I love you darling, please always love me. Thank you, John. RIP.
Kevin, awesome dude! ... .Just pray your woman feels the same.
Wooow!!! such a beautiful marriage for you both.
@@jasonhitch660 She sure does! 41 years now. Where does the time go?
@@glendaedoc1517 Thank you Glenda. 41 years now and nothing's changed!

I gave my heart to John Denver when I was 16 years old, and I never really got it back. Happy Holidays, everyone, Snowy
Snowy - SAME!!! 💕
I can feel the same way. I too lost my wife a short while ago and it was our favorite song. It says all you can say to your wife and now that she is gone I admit that I cry every time I hear the song. " big boys don't cry?" Well, I do.
I am having this as a song my fiancé and I are dancing to our wedding as well. Cant find another song that says it better.
This is one of my fav John D. songs.. It brings me tears - a lot of tears. John's music and lyrics have touched my life in so, so many ways. I will play his music and watch his videos forever. Happy New Year John, in that wonderful place in Heaven where I know you are.
He wrote beautiful love songs for his wives... I think actually living with him was not always easy... a moody, depressed man, and I mean no disrespect... artists are often mercurial creatures.......does not detract from the beauty of the song...thank you for posting this beauty....
You're absolutely right Rebecca. Was lucky enough to have spent some time with him, on a vacation in Alaska, 1990 or 91. I'm old. Lol. I don't know why us artists are affected this way. I was very troubled at his death. He was a hard drinker, but he was friendly and gave you his time. It seemed to me he wouldn't let anyone love him. Sad.
@@djhess9060 .... I would have loved to have known him. I was 10 when he came into my life. Miss his music and so sad that he is gone
I agree, not easy to live with. Partners of these artistic geniuses if they're going to stay with them, probably need to accept that they will always be no.2 to their work, accept the moodiness and even sacrifice their own ambitions. Maybe worth it in some cases, like for JD, when you see what they produce for posterity.
John denver was an angel, i sang one of his songs when my fiance and i were having our engagement party.... Next year we will get married and JD belongs to our hearts. So I will learn to play guitar and do one or two of johns songs... John did not die , because his songs are here to stay..... Well casandra looked like she didn´t give a shit...... I just saw an interview with john, so humble so honest and so warm... JD you are truly missed from the bottom of my heart
That's not really fair. Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of her, but John was by far no angel. It really surprised me how strongly I felt for Annie (and hence Cassie & Jessie) with having to face the abuse he doled out. I had no idea. Annie was much classier (IMHO) in handling it, but you never know how you'll react in a similar situation - your
husband walking around with a chain saw cutting down everything he saw in the house??
So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "didn't give a s#!t" ? Y'all need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" Comments like these disgrace yourself, your family, your family's name long before those you seek to sully, including John. YES. Hello? When you seek to sully a man's wife, no matter posthumously, you seek to sully him. So, John is not here to stand up to this trash, but I am. I stand for John and his lovely wife, Cassandra, whom do not deserve the tripe comments here, comments of jealousy and selfishness. Don't see it? Well take 5, as in 5 years apparently necessary to grow up from the Nay-Sayer Lets-Bring-Everyone-Else-Down Club. Yup, that your club. Hello? SICK. Enough already. Don't like it? Tough, like I said: GO HOME! All of y'all nay sayers need to GO HOME. I am here to stand up for John and tell you: Keep your garbage to yourselves. Don't spread trash around when you don't know.... That's right. You don't know. You don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW a swinging thing.
K Private I think all know who you are by now lol
K Private ex-wife
What a beautiful tribute to the woman he loved -
Beautiful song I love it! I wanna dedicate this to my future husband
This man is my new inspiration in my songwriting. We are almost soul mates. He gives me hope.
I'm trying to imagine!!! Free of all judgement (please) this is amazing stuff we are blessed with!! There is only one of this amazing artist ~enjoy the magic!!!
VERY beautiful song!!!
John Denver was a great human being. I miss him and I know many other do
Along with my two children John Denvers the love of my life
Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.🙏🏼🙏🏼
This melts my heart. 💗💗💗
JD is not wrong. This song was introduced to me in the wedding of my sister. It stuck in me and have it in my song playlist.
I'm converting this song to play on my Guitar and will be playing this to my new Wife on our wedding day next June! :) I just hope I can sing it without starting to cry She has No Idea its coming
Awww. Bless
love this song,john was a caring guy and he meant every word in this song ,,god bless you john and all your children,you are truly missed.
🥀Beautiful Song Brilliant lyrics, vocals and music with meaning of unconditional love within and for always🥀✌🥀🥀🕊🥀☝️

He man who felt in love to fast he had a heart that needed love
How sad and yet beautiful, This woman was a manipulator she took an kind, driven, loving man and manipulated and tricked him with her youth, her allure and she helped destroy him..he was one of the greatist environmentalists this Earth has ever known... ironically she looked a lot like ANNIE didn't she.. you see John was in LOVE with LOve itself, it fueled his music, his passions it was his inspiration and he trusted...
John How I know your spirit is with us always LOVE YOU LOVE YOU!
Such a beautiful voice and his songs showed immense talent (unlike most of the flat packed "quick production" songs of today).
Yes!!!
One of his many very beautiful songs!!! Rest in peace...
I know this was a year ago BUT wonder if your still out there? I too have been a John Denver follower and fan all my life, he has been a part of my soul forever ever where I go and exist, in my good times and bad times..I love the outdoors so passionately and I often sing and share Johns songs as much as I can just shared WHose Garden WAS THIS, and Blue Skies and dancing waters...he was sooo gifted...
One of the most beautiful songs!!!
Such a beautiful song, age only enhances~ !
thanx for the beautiful sharing,hope you have a lot more from this fantastic John Denver.
Still miss him everyday.
thanx very much for this beautiful sharing
What a beautiful song it made me cry 😢
I see no romance or happiness in her eyes i would be crying if someone wrote me a love song
I hate to agree with you. I met her 3 years ago at an event and though it was ALL about John getting his star in Hollywood, she was fully disconnected. Very nice pesron, but this was about John and his fans... A great song I WISH I had written.
So demure nowadays is "no romance" ? Y'all need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!"

Im not so sure Annie was a real love......in his book.......john said annie loved him in spite of his music.....now that is some cold blood behaviour.
John den er
turned away from his kiss
Such a beautiful song, RIP John.
I'm a Michael Jackson fan. I love this song though. I grew up hearing Johns music my parents had his stuff on record and played it allot and Peter Paul & Mary. They now have his albums on tape and cd. My best friend Sonia is a John Denver fan. in fact her nickname is Mis John Denver. John Denver and Michael Jackson have both Gone to soon. Both were great humanitarians and wanted to make the world a better place.
LOOOVELY, like many of John Denvers songs!!!
brilliant song TY for posting RIP John
Who wouldn't have a drink with the likes of her Poor John
very romantic song...luv JD! thanks for sharing, god bless
yes love john, sadly missed
I attended BOTH High School (FtWorth, TX) & college, (Texas Tech) with John. And sang with him as well as a group of we in FW before he grauduated. Annie was sitting i an audience at one concert and their "eyes met"....he rround out who she was, her contact, and wrote her she attended 2nd concert where they met. John was told early in their marriage he would 99% not father a child. Divorce happened cause they "grew apart".......when Peter,Paul, Mary recorded his "Leaving On A Jet Plane"....the rest is Denver history )(John "Dutch-n-dorf.' He was high demand and concerts, tv shows, etc....Annie stayed in Aspen ...to "hold down the fort"......sometimes did travel; w/him. But his concert schedule was sometimes too much, just too much. Married 14-15 yrs, divorced. He was w/freinds Sydney Australia...an Cassy w/friends in an nighclub where she pefomed (no I am not crazy about her voice and I have sung all my life)....he joked in an interview that one week after they married Cassy was pregnant and he was "far out" cause of "miracles do happen" dear John believed. But not so. Jesse, daughter has Mom'[s red hair (dominant over John's blonde hair)....from all Ive been told.......Cassy treated John HORRIBLY. For me who konew him o have a crazy fun perfonality......and yes sometimes depressson but that was caused by spousal disagreements and him gone too long when career demands were so high. but when John walked in to the club where Casssy sat duriong a break.......she was asked.."do youNKNOW wjo THAT is?"....."NO".....she was told. and she said "she had heard of him.'" For his HS/college singig goup we were FRIENDS.....now I wish tha short gal with MY 12 string.....then he got his after playing mine and oh .......was he terrfiic.......always....I still have mine. IT is 60ys old. got iot when I was 13, now am 73 and NO way would I part w/it. It is SO heavy I cannot play any longer....torn vocal chords =s I cannot sing but almost daily I continue to listen to THE most prolific song writer ever in my life.....EVER. It is 2020.....and my post is @ 5 yrs behind...but after listenng today and reading posts just wanted to say a few insights into this wonderful PERSON who did NOT deserve anything BUT LOVE from wives..........yes I look back on it......and gee.....I wish I had been more than a "little sister in our singning group."
Do you believe Jesse Belle was somebody else's kid? I do. He was sterile and no way would he be able to father a child.
JD really had Annie in his thoughts and heart, when he wrote this...
LOVE IT!!!
Looovely song
Yes, I'm still out here, and thank you for your kind words regarding John.
💕💕🙏🏼Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
@@andrerieumaastricht9811 Thank you, Zachary,. Happy and healthy New Year to you, too. I still listen to John's songs.
I'm an old guy and whenever I recolect John Denver, I think of Annie. So If John decided to sing about his new wife, I cannot go along with that. Beautiful song but those nights listening to all the songs, only Annie will do as a mate to john in my view. We all make mistakes.
💕💕💕Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
I'll be getting married this coming May and Johns song, For You will be played. My future wife is not only a gift she's my medicine.
Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
@annieinaspen I'm with you on that.. My heart broke when he died. I still tear up when I hear his music.
Beautiful song, this one also. But there are quite a few elements from Annie's Song woven into it.
She doesn't even return his kiss 0:50
How sad
Hello? Some folks are raised to believe not to express an abundance of intimacy in public. As well, Cassandra is demure. So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "sad" ? Y'all need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" I lower myself to the level of your comment to stand up for John and Cassandra. Most folks will ignore the disgusting comments. I am not gong to do that because enough is ENOUGH. No one needs to read this tripe. Rather, y'all making the tripe need to read this: GO HOME!

That's right. You don't know. You don't know. YOU DON'T KNOW a swinging thing.
What the hell?After his death,she was about the money, how sad....with no will,everything was in probate,his foundation and his kids and properties, 1st wife, kids have controll thru attorneys
Give me Annie's song any day. For multiple reasons
Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard.. but i hope the scenes are more on the haapy pictures and birghter days.. the setting is so gloomy here.. i might die of loneliness with this music and the gloomy scene in the background lol
qué músico más extraordinario.
So sad. U can see john was singing up the wrong tree. He was so lost in love. He deserved better.
The whole story of those two is pretty sad. .He was too deep and maybe a little too serious for her IMHO and she was nice ( only met her once ) but just a very different kind of spirit to what he truly needed. yet his music lives on and forever. that is what counts.
SO true! couldnt agree more. he did seem so deep and more in love than her, with him...shame. i often wonder if she ever listens to this song, and thinks of him and how much he loved her, enough so, to write this beautiful song? i wonder....
🙏🏼🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕
such a beautiful song for such an undeserving woman. He wasted it on her.
@@cheezit50 She didn't look very enthusiastic sitting next to him, and let him do all the talking. He seemed to keep jiggling her to get some kind of response.
Beautiful song. too bad he married a gold-digger that treated him so badly. John's two divorces broke his heart, ... but not his spirit. surely he had his flaws, ... but he SHOULD have had a woman the would stand by him and stay with him. it was one of the things he wanted most. I think he truly experienced divorce as a kind of personal hell.
Len Hummel He was gone for upwards of 8 months a year touring. It's hard to hold a family together when you're not there for years and you cheat on your wife while you're away. . She did stand by him, until she realized she deserved better. Shrug.
Yeah, Annie had to deal with the same thing. I really think a lot of her and how she handled things. But when your husband is gone, as you said, so many months of the year and then comes home and get S-faced every night and starting fights, it wears a person down. No matter how much you love them. I love JD's songs and him as a person, I love hearing Annie talk about him too. Life's no luxury ride no matter where on the spectrum you're at.
John was a great song writer and singer but he was also an alcoholic and when drunk, which was often, turned into a beligerent monster. He was charged with DUI, lost his pilots license as a result of drinking and in fact was flying illegally when he crashed.
I think john was more suited to Annie,but sadly they fell out of love.such a shame
On John's Biography it states he got lonely on the road soon after marrying Annie & strayed a few times!
Such a romantic and cold winter moment with john and his lovely wife. and I love the song too.
💕💕💕Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
ANNIE DENVER IS YOUR ONLY WIFE JOHN DENVER💓
Such a beautiful song but you can see she did'nt love him.
hope she didnt get his estate
debbie delraso They were divorced four years before he died, his estate went to his kids. Although I'm sure she finds a way to get money out of her daughter.
Tony Gostling It was his paycheck that she loved.

Whats story behind diz song..is it she didn’t love him 🙁🙁🙁🙁
John was way to good for her. She was a gold digger. Love you John!

For You was for my girlfriend when Kayla and I argue, and fight together this is her other song.
My Mom met John Denver when she was working at Hardees (Carl's Jr.) in Pueblo. My heart was broken when my girlfriend yelled at me.
@blzdiva Glad you told off on that golddigging biotch. It broke my heart when he married her because I knew what she was then. You could just tell. And I have heard that the little girl Jesse Belle does not belong to John. If that is true, what goes around comes around, and she will pay in spades. What a waste of time for John. She took custody of little JB and made her come out here to California, so I had read, and thus he searched for quicker ways to get here. I died a little the day he did.
I think this is the most beautiful love song I've ever heard. It's too bad he loved and wrote it for such a bitch.
Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.💕💕🙏🏼💕💕
I believe he died loving Annie.

I like Annie’s Song best.
She was a user and he realized..very sad
that lady seems to be not excited in this video.
She definitely seemed "detached".
There's a reason for that.

@@Controversial_Celebrity_Quotes agree
@@suenetteedwards5965 what do you think that reason was?
This video devalues the impact of annie's song tremendously :(
Redwoods in Aspen?
I hear him singing it to Annie, regardless.
All I know is if you play guitar you don't just start playing Johns songs, Somewhat complex use of cords that most people finds cords that easier to play or different arrangements.
After seeing this video, it is no wonder they divorced. If i was John i would have sent her the papers after the filming of this... Nothing but a cold fish.
Dont judge Cassie by this video, what you see is shyness, met her one year at Tamworth when we were singing at Harvey World Travel, a really nice lady....!
+01talentjudge ..... i am sure she is nice to some people. She strikes me as the type of person who is nice to the percentage of the public who are successful, but wouldn't give the time of day to a street person etc.. if so .... not my style
I felt the same way when I saw this. I'm guessing she didn't want to run into marriage like he did. I was at their 3rd wedding anniversary. You could tell she loved him very much. Nothing like this at all. In fact, you would have thought the roles exactly the opposite. John, ...and this is my experienced opinion only,.... was a victim of schizo-affective disorder, capped with alcholism. I attended the anniversary and mini concert in the lodge at Rainbow King Lodge, Illiamna, AK. 1991.
Interesting to read your observation about their 3rd Anniversary DJ Hess. According to a Woman's Day magazine article I have here, they split on October 16th, 1991, which is 3 years and 2 months after they were married and 2 months after your observation. According to the article, John threw Cassie out of the house and changed all of the locks which would back up your observation that he actually was not happy with her on their anniversary. He says in his book "she made a fool of me up and down the valley", so he obviously had or felt he had reason to be angry at her. It is interesting that you thought she acted loving to him on their 3rd Anniversary though, I wonder if she was acting for the benefit of those in attendance? She surely had to know that things weren't right between them because she said in an interview that they hadn't been able to communicate and were just leaving notes for each other around the house. The one thing we do all know for sure is that both of his wives have expressed their love for him after he died and that is a testament to the man he was. He might not have been easy to live with but both wives saw him for the good man he was.

Myself - I feel a little better, after watching this. I know now, that better men than me have chosen poorly for a first wife.
I can find out for you. I'll ask my friend Sonia and get back to you. She knows allot about John Denver she's that big a fan. i could tell you about things on Michael Jackson though if you asked me One thing I do know about John is he and Elton John were close friends like brothers. I'll get back to you.
Nostalgically, I wish it had been Annie. No disrespect to Cassandra. Just an old school JD fan speaking.
Did John divorce Cassie, or did she divorce him?
Why'd they split up?
Cassy (as she spells it) cited in an article done in 1993 that John pursued the divorce from her. It was alleged, by John, that she ran around on him and made a fool of him (though Cassy states it was b/c John could not handle her "independent nature"). And that 'their' daughter was not actually John's biological daughter, but rather was sired by someone else. It was well-known that John was sterile (John was the one whom let that information become public) and that is why he and Annie adopted their two children. John refused to get a DNA test with regard to the daughter 'with' Cassy, so I have an inkling he did not want to receive some unhappy news if he had done one. Sad all the way around, IMHO. :( Does not diminish this stunningly gorgeous song though. John was THE BEST at creating stirring love songs. So much depth, passion, and beauty in that lovely man. I miss him greatly. I always will. You live on in my heart, John.
I love John Denver and his great gifts as a composer and singer as well as everyone but I lament the fact that he let alcohol take hold of his life. It was this that destroyed his two marriages due to the violent person he became when drinking. I've seen this in my own family. What a genius we lost. Let this be a lesson to all of us of what can happen to all of us when we surrender ourselves to drinking excessively.
💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼💕💕🙏🏼💕
Cassies's too much like a barbie doll for my taste, give me a homely cuddly gal who can cook anytime..:)
@awriter4theman Seriously???? Do not judge...... she made John happy. No matter what you read or think you know, please don't post things like this on a site that is for honoring John.... Just my opinion...
Cassandra talks about that there were two John’s....the public one and the private bully.
She didn't love him, in all videos i saw, she had a same cold face expression, until smilling
He said she made a fool of him.
what happen to Annie?
Annie and John divorced due to his drinking and abusive nature is what I have read. Like you I wanted to know what happened to what seemed like an incredible love...... See a couple of my posts above. Like many women, she thought she could love him enough to change him.
Suenette Edwards I'm not really sure that's true. I don't think John was a big drinker when he was married to Annie. It was more the constant travel and his career that pulled them apart. From what I have read it was during his break up from Cassie that his drinking escalated. But even she said sfter his death that he was not an alcoholic. These things are never one dimensional. He could never have worked as hard as he did and achieved so much if his drinking was that bad. In his own words he went through "a dark night of the soul" after his relationship with Cassie broke down and that was when he had his DUI's. He was not drinking when he died, he had sorted himself out. Both wives still loved him when he died. He was a good man who had an extraordinary life with all the pressures that come with that.
He said he didnt know why he married her...
You can tell when Cassandra dodges his kiss that his second marriage was headed for the rocks. He couldn't control his drinking. What a shame.
how can you judge you don't even know Cassie he loved her or he would of not married her
Agreed. So demure, sweet and ladylike nowadays is "didn't give a s#!t" ? Those making these comments need to take your nasty comments and, "Go Home!" I lower myself to their level to stand up for John and Cassandra. Comments like these disgrace themselves, each of their families, each of their family's names long before those they seek to sully, including John. YES. Hello? When you seek to sully a man's wife, no matter posthumously, you seek to sully him. So, John is not here to stand up to this trash, but I am. I stand for John and his lovely wife, Cassandra, whom do not deserve the tripe comments here, comments of jealousy and selfishness. Don't see it? Well take 5, as in 5 years apparently necessary to grow up from the Nay-Sayer Lets-Bring-Everyone-Else-Down Club. Yup, that your club. Hello? SICK. Enough already. Don't like it? Tough, like I said: GO HOME! All of y'all nay sayers need to GO HOME. I am here to stand up for John and tell you: Keep your garbage to yourselves. Don't spread trash around when you don't know....

Her face tells all , we don't need to always know some one , their actions speak volumes, of cource john loved her but its obviously not returned , if she loved him at all then it wasn't a drop to how much he loved her , to have this most beautiful heavenly song written for you by anyone most of all your husband is incredible the lyrics were obviously felt when penned this man knew how to love thats true he is/was love personafied.
