    This is a re-recorded version when he was older and can definitely hear the change in his voice that comes with age. Although I can appreciate this version I really like the original version and the sound of his younger voice.

    John Denver had applied to be the first civilian in space, riding on the space shuttle Challenger... the flight that exploded 73 seconds after launch. He wrote a tribute song to those who died in that. It's called "Flying For Me".

  • @BobC-fo3si

    John tells the story of how he was inspired to write this song while riding a ski lift in the mountains. The views of the mountains and the ski heightened his senses, Hence the kine, "you fill up my senses" He is my all-time favorite male singer. His voice is so clear. He built a home in Aspen, Colorado. I was stationed in Colorado about the time he came into prominence. I was there in '72 to '74. Yes, Annie was his wife. They later divorced, a victim of his time on the road. "Annie's Song" is often used as a wedding song.
    You might listen to "Perhaps Love", the version he does with Placid Domingo.

    I loved playing this song, and was always looking for a guy to sing it with. I love singing harmony and thought this would be a good song for a duet. I never did raise any interest in that, although they seemed to like when I sang it at parties. Then the old gang separated to pursue marriage, career, college, whatever, and we didn't get together again. You know, we all changed. But Annie's Song still gets to me. I guess that will never change.

    Annie was his first wife. He loved her to the day he died. Sent her flowers every year for her birthday. Their last conversation they ever had, she told him it was so nice he did that. He said,:Oh Annie, you know I love you." She did too, even if she couldn't stay married to him. Here she is being interviewed when he died. She's a class act. Like Freddie Mercury's Mary, she has never dragged him publicly, even when he wasn't the best husband.

  • @NadaTall
    @NadaTall 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with BobC1949’s comment. John definitely wrote the song about his wife after he went outside to a nearby ski area to think over an argument he and his wife, Annie, had just just had had. I recommend the same video clip cited by BobC. Additionally, I was about to suggest the same song for your reaction, “Perhaps Love”. I consider it the most beautiful song he ever recorded - and that’s saying a lot because I’m a great fan of nearly all his work, musically, environmentally, and even in film. I especially like the campy little Christmas film almost no one knows about, “ The Christmas Gift”. It’s really a very poorly scripted and badly acted piece of cinema, but the message is still pretty heartwarming - plus, he gets to sing a couple Christmas songs and perform his “Love Again”.

    One not heard very often. Recorded with Alexsander Gradsky, a Russian singer, in 86. Then John and Alex got together again to sing it live in 90 (hence Alex having the words in front of him). People say this is the song that lost John his recording contract with RCA. RCA had just been taken over by General Electric, they produced for arms manufacturers. Also in the video John had made for the song, there is a rocket with the Westinghouse logo, GEs opposition. The story goes, John wouldn't budge.

    Annie Martell was his wife. They met when he was playing a college gig (she was still in school). When he had saved enough money they bought a cabin in Aspen, Colorado, a sleepy little mountain town with ski slopes around it. It wasn't the Ritzy playground of the rich and famous yet back in the seventies. John was 27 years old and, "coming home to a place he'd never been before". After his marriage with Annie broke up in the early eighties he was never quite the same again. Listen to "Poems Prayers and Promises". I was playing guitar when I heard John had died in a plane crash; I stopped what I was doing, sat down in disbelief and his song "Poems Prayers and Promises" came out of me. It was fitting....and it's a great song. But then he had several great songs, and many good ones.

    Thanks again, Harri! The original is mostly just him and his guitar--I like it much better than this one.

    Hi Harri. I think this is a cover. It doesn't sound like John Denver and is quite different from the studio version.

      John's voice changed a lot later in life. It got deeper later. This is definitely him.

    While Annie's will always be my favorite, definitely react to Calypso and Sunshine On My Shoulders. They are exceptional, especially the Calypso video at sea.

    Mate, I love your reaction videos, because they are so much more than that. You share a part of your life's experience when you talk about the songs. It's a real treat for you to share this. And just from the two JD reviews I've listened to; you have a poet's soul.
    Sure; this is a later recording of John's, but what I find amazing about singer/songwriter's such as he is that the song interpretations change over the years. For example; Poems, Prayers and Promises is a song written when he was very young. The lyrics are written from a perspective of an older person looking back on their life. As a younger man he did it very well, however singing it at a later age - for example in the Wildlife Concert is exceptional - my opinion is that he has now "grown into" the song and it's so poignant and his vocal delivery and presentation shows a real understanding of the writing from probably 30 years earlier.
    You mentioned in your "Leaving on a Jet plane" reaction about cover songs. If you're not familiar with it, may I recommend you take a listen to John's version of Michael Martin Murphey's "Boy from the Country". In the intro; John expresses as to how it could have been written for, or about him. Michael wrote it as a tribute to St. Francis of Assisi. However, knowing John's life as you do, the comparison is very appropriate. Just John and the guitar. th-cam.com/video/FaJTtNDBQwk/w-d-xo.html

  • @charlesstone4523
    @charlesstone4523 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree with Mr. Gibson, the recording from the album "BACK HOME AGAIN" , is most likely the definitive version of the song, although there are many lovely live performances at different points in his career. You might try "MY SWEET LADY" although please use the live version from "AN EVENING WITH JOHN DENVER", the original recording from the album "POEMS PRAYERS AND PROMISES" pales in comparison to the live version I mentioned above, and unfortunately most of the other live , and or later re-recordings of the same do not compare with the "Evening WITH JOHN DENVER" recording.

    John does a tribute song to Jacques Cousteau and their explore expeditions. If you ever knew Jacques Cousteau and the ship Calypso this will empress you much.
    React to ...CALYPSO...
