    it's 2024 and this is still a severely underrated song.

      Truth. Just shared this song with my Gen Z adult child. John Denver is timeless.

    Hearing the introduction he gave here made me appreciate both the song and John himself a lot more. The thing he said about how a lot of young men really need a home and don’t have it resonated pretty deeply with me, and I think it’s probably even more true today than it was then

    Wow! One of my favorites by him done extremely well live, thanks so much for this. How he gets his voice into those high octaves without cracking blows me away, sounds so good.

      It's been one of my favourites from him for years. John was so underated as a musician and a singer.

      John was so underated as a guitarist. I've heard other musicians compliment him on his playing ability.

    I love the way the host asks “could you play that song for us” it’s almost like a bunch of friends hanging out and he’s sheepishly/childishly like go on, give it a go! But at the same time it’s also like hurry up and play the gd song hahaha

    Can you imagine any current artist who could even be in the same league as this vocally much less while displaying the musicianship required for this song? No autotune here!

      John plays it in drop D and it's basically just G and D the whole song as far as I can tell.

    • @DNA2000-8bit

      Drop D, D and G through out. But it also sounds good if you briefly walk between with a C.
