Sarah, I don't know if you are aware, that this song is about his life and his experiences in the Colorado Rockies Mountains. He lost a beloved friend. The reigning fire in the skies was a meteor shower. R.I.P. John Denver. YOU ARE MISSED 😢💛
There have been only two singers in my lifetime that I have cried over after hearing they were gone. John Denver is one of them. I sat down and sobbed.
Amen. I'm crying now, just listening to John's beautiful, angelic voice! I also bawled my eyes out, when I heard of his plane crash, and Karen Carpenter's tragic passing, from Anorexia Nervosa, and many others, since then. It's a short life. Enjoy it while you can.
Such a great song! John had so many great hits in the 70's-80's such as "Take Me Home Country Roads", "You Fill Up My Senses", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Fly Away", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Calypso", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" etc.
Loved him & Bread back in the 70's. I think he was taken out for not going along with their sickness. He used to grow weed in the mountains and the G men kept raiding him but could never pin it on him. Stars & their plane crashes 🤔
John Denver always talks to your heart and lets your sould soar to places where beauty is all around. John Denver was happiest singing abour the staggering beauty of nature and in particular the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. His Musicianship is second to none. A truly beautiful Artist. You are so right his voice is so pure and gets into your soul. You are listening to one of the greatest ever song writers and performers
Nice reaction. John is unique in so many ways, not least in that he is the only song writer, composer, performer or recording artist to have written or co-written two state songs for individual states in the United States in the 20th century.. In the years following his untimely death in a plane accident in California in October 1997, Rocky Mountain High was selected as a state song for John's beloved Colorado and Take Me Home, Country Roads was selected as a state song for West Virginia. Only one other composer, Stephen Foster in the 19th century held that unique honour before John, so John has joined an exclusive club of two! Isn't that amazing?
I am planning a trip thru Colorado because of this song. I want to see it before it's gone. I remember when this came out. I must have played it millions of times. His life story is amazing. Losing him was a big loss.
Going to Colorado? If possible, please try to go to Estes Park. It is at the entrance of the National Park and it is utterly beautiful. Have a wonderful trip.
@@MrMoon1953 Thanks for the suggestion. I've been asking around for suggestions. It's a spiritual trip, so all I want to see is nature, animals, and be alone with God for a while. I/We have some things to discuss.
@@jjmfarmer9465 Haven't you noticed how National Parks are being closed down lately? They are burning down forests left & right. I recently found out Smithsonian is covering something up in 30 caves in the Grand canyon. Heirogliphics were found by a man named Waite before cameras. He drew them, sent it to Smithsonian to decipher and they blocked the caves he found it in. The left wants to take down Mt. Rushmore. Notice, there are no Democrats on Rushmore? They messed with the Colorado river, now ppl are trying to save it. Its not what it once was. I don't trust them not to destroy the Rockies. They own the mountain parks remember.
He was such a poet with his music. All his songs are about real things, real places and real emotions. That beautiful voice! Raining fire from the sky was meteor showers. Taken from us much too soon. RIP John.
One of my favorite songs from the early 1970´s. Recorded by Denver in 1972 it is the title track of the 1972 album Rocky Mountain High and No.9 on the US Hot 100 in 1973. Westerns writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time. Thanks Sarah for a great song by one of the greatest country singer ever!
Beautiful reaction. Growing up in Germany, I listened to John Denver all the time and this was one of my favorite songs. I dreamed back then to see the Rocky Mountains one day. 12 years later I moved to America, yet I never made it to the Rockies. Maybe one day before I get too old I will take a trip there.
I am so very pleased by your reactions to both this song and Annie's Song!! John was truly a phenomenon and is sorely missed! You might listen to some of his duets, such as "Perhaps Love" with Placido Domingo and "Fly Away" with Olivia Newton-John! It is pleasing to see younger people around the world experience the joy of the music that we "old folks" grew up with! Keep up the good work!🥰🙂
I just love your eclectic taste in music and sharing your reactions to all this wonderful music. You have such a beautiful heart, and very lovely lady.
I'm a Colorado native, John lived in Aspen, I live above Kremmling on Gore mountain. You have to see the beauty of our mountains. I consider myself blessed to see this beauty everyday.
I first started watching you in my friend sent me your coverage of The Star-Spangled banner and I subscribe that day and watched about 10 of them that day. Bee Gees was great. I get emotional with you
I've never been to Colorado, however I lived in Anchorage, Ak for 3 years. I understand these lyrics very well. I had that same high feeling in ak. The serene beauty fills your soul like a drug would making you feel high. There's no better feeling, than to be high off the beauty of the surroundings. Hope that can help you understand the lyrics more. Only other way is to experience it for yourself.
I went to the Rockies about 5 years ago. The feeling of me being insignificant compared to the beauty and magnificent of the mountains was miraculous. It is the most beautiful and peaceful place I've ever seen. After that, I understood that song. John Denver was a folk singer on a Rocky Mountain High magnitude. A great loss.
@@sherieads1298 I would like to visit there, when I left Ak we drove back to Indiana, and that was the best drive I ever took. The Rockies is one gorgeous mountain range, all the way down.
John Denver was a great song writer and had loads of great songs. He sounded just as good live as he does on the studio versions. He had such a clear, calming voice. He died far too young which was a loss to the world.
Radio stations originally banned playing this song. They claimed it was a song about drug use. Later John Denver testified to the Senate with Dee Snyder from Twister Sister about the dangers of censorship.
Words, music, voice and how it paints such a beautiful picture, even better watching your reactions. I was blessed to grow up playing John's songs on piano, back in 70's.. ❤😊😊😊
Such a RICH voice.. and he could hold a friggin note.. his connection to nurture bursts through.. two states have their state songs by him- west va too - country roads..
When he said he’s seen it rain and fire in the sky he means he saw shooting stars shooting across the sky. I. The mountains it’s sooo dark and the stars just shine bright like fire
I've been there. To see the galaxy stretched out before you in the mountains while shooting stars color the night in the Colorado wilderness. There's no place I've ever been that has the magic of Colorado. And I've been around. There's a beauty there beyond the the works of man. A gentle peace high in the mountains. I wish I was there now.
I have played this song both times I took a road trip to Colorado Springs as soon as you see the rockies I put this song on its so appropriate colorado is a state of mind the scenery is breathtaking the mountains glacier lakes gods hand touched colorado
There are two other John Denver ongs you should really listen to. One is The Eagle and the Hawk, the o ther is Fly Away which he did as a duet with Olivia Newton John. Both are quite lovely and I think you would like them.
John Denver was my first teenager musical crush. I memorized his Country Roads for an audition. My voice cracked. Oh, it was bad. LOL. What you should listen to now is a group named Bread performing "If".
I always think of my dad when I hear John. I loved how his voice matured. When his record label dropped him he recorded independently. And it was such a fantastic album called Higher Ground. There's a song on it I love called Homegrown Tomatoes, and Whispering Jesse. My dad was a country boy so he always played A Country Girl in Paris....LOVE Calypso, Poems Prayers and Promises, by my absolute fave by him is a song called Matthew. If you haven't heard THAT song by him. DO.
Sarah, I'm about 8 months away from buying some land in the Oregon forest.. I'll be away from people, I'll have to rough it, grow and hunt most of my own food..Bu't I've great outdoor survival skills/supplies (Including 2 solar generators for power ) ,Taken extended camping trips and I have to admit, there's nothing better for your soul like what Denver describes in the song. All my freinds who keep asking me why need to lisen to this tune-then they'd understand! Loved your reaction!
A great reaction. I've live in over two dozen places around the world, from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to the Hawaiian paradise, to Germany and England, and in many locations in the United States, deep south, southwest, the great plains, the Pacific coast, the Great Lakes region, and the east coast. I currently live in Colorado (Centennial, the southern part of Denver). This is my third time living in Colorado (1961-1964, 1974-1978, and 2019 to present), and I've always known I'd end up here. I really can't explain it, but there is something special about the Rocky Mountains. I spent a bit of time in Afghanistan, and the mountains there are magnificent and the Rocky Mountains are underwhelming by comparison, but for some reason, they just still seem more magical. Visiting the Rocky Mountains in Colorado should be on everyone's bucket list.
Same with the West Virginia one ...its so true. COLORADO AND THE ENERGY THERE..THE COLORS..THATS WHY IS CALLED COLORADO..IT MEANS MANY COLORS IN SPANISH..BUT THE WEST VIRGINIA ONE MAKES ME CRY TOO. I LIVED THERE TWICE AND CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF THE AREA AND THE LOVING PEOPLE THERE...THANK YOI BEAUTIFUL SOUL..YOURE DOIMG A GREAT JOB ON EARTH. GREAT MISSION YOU HAVE❤
I remember John Denver did you know that he performanced his last concert here in corpus Christi Texas kinda of ironic corpus Christi stands for the body of Christ great job as always Sarah 👍
I really enjoy your videos. I am so glad you love John Denver. I have loved him since I was a little girl. Thank you for being you. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Please keep making videos. We need more of you in this world. ❤
Some friends and I used to camp in the Colorado Rockies, the Grand Tetons and Alberta way, back in the seventies. There were these places that struck you to the bone with their beauty. In the late spring of '76 we camped along Grand Tetons, with the snow-capped mountain range in the background, piercing low hanging gray clouds ("poking the eye of God") nesting behind a line of tall pines at their foot, a clear ice-cold mountain lake in front of them, and in the foreground was a field of multitude of different colored wild flowers. We nick-named the place "Cheyenne Valley." We cooked thick steaks, with its juices dripping over open flames, causing them to lick the the meat, along with baked potatoes, and drank beer cooled in the ice-cold lake. Best damn meal I ever had or ever will! If there's a heaven, then Cheyenne Valley was a glimpse of it!
Hi, Sarah. I just joined your channel. You're a sweetie pie. You seem to like the same songs I do. The ones that tell a story and make us cry. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug because I know how that song can make one feel, especially if you're hearing it for the first time. John Denver is certainly one of my favorites as well. I'll most definitely keep an eye on your channel and say a few words when I can. Take care.... and cheer up!
Artists my parents played for me when I was a young boy in the 70s: John Denver, Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Julio Iglesias, The Beatles, ABBA...
I heard this song in 72, I was 14. I put my thumb out and traveled four days from Ohio to Colorado. Have never regretted it. Thank you, John
Sarah, I don't know if you are aware, that this song is about his life and his experiences in the Colorado Rockies Mountains. He lost a beloved friend. The reigning fire in the skies was a meteor shower.
R.I.P. John Denver.
YOU ARE MISSED 😢💛
Uh oh, No I didn't know that🙁
@@SarahDengler He died at 53 when the plane he was piloting crashed. So very sad.
@@CuzKatieSaysSo she knows about John Denver. The person posting was talking about the song.
You have to go to the Rocky Mountains and experience it. Hike the trails. Ride horseback. Fish the streams. This song is the best that describes it.
@@SarahDenglerThis song is one of Colorado's official State Songs.
There have been only two singers in my lifetime that I have cried over after hearing they were gone. John Denver is one of them. I sat down and sobbed.
If it's ok, I'm wondering, who was the other singer?
I’m also wanting to know who the other singer was.
The other?
And Karen
@@nashkita77 as in Karen Carpenter?
It is hard to explain why but John Denver's singing is both uplifting and brings a tear to my eyes at the dame time. JD for ever.
I feel the same.
Those are tears of Joy my friend
Amen. I'm crying now, just listening to John's beautiful, angelic voice! I also bawled my eyes out, when I heard of his plane crash, and Karen Carpenter's tragic passing, from Anorexia Nervosa, and many others, since then. It's a short life. Enjoy it while you can.
Such a great song! John had so many great hits in the 70's-80's such as "Take Me Home Country Roads", "You Fill Up My Senses", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Fly Away", "Leaving On A Jet Plane", "Poems, Prayers & Promises", "Calypso", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" etc.
I agree. All my favorites
Loved him & Bread back in the 70's. I think he was taken out for not going along with their sickness. He used to grow weed in the mountains and the G men kept raiding him but could never pin it on him. Stars & their plane crashes 🤔
The song where he sings "you fill up my senses" is called "Annie's Song"
Take Me Home Country Roads is the John Denver song everyone is waiting for you to react to.
@@mikell5087 Thank God I'm A Country Boy!
John Denver was such an underrated musician yet had a huge following and still does to this day. He was a true American icon.
John Denver always talks to your heart and lets your sould soar to places where beauty is all around.

Always have loved John,got to see hum twice in concert. He is one of the artist that got me thru my troubled teen years.
That pure crystalline voice was the perfect pairing to his poetic lyrics and simple arrangements.
RIP John. You have made so many people happy.
He was my favorite artist growing up! Such a wise man beyond his years! The day he died I was totally devastated! I still love the man & the music!

in 1973. Westerns writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs
of all time. Thanks Sarah for a great song by one of the greatest country singer ever!
Whenever I hear John Denver, I want to cry. Smooth as silk and perfection!
It’s so beautiful to see a new generation feeling as we did. Brought it all back. Thank you.
RIP John Denver you were takin from us far to early. Great reaction
My nan loved John Denver. My uncle played acoustic version "you fill up my senses" at her recent funeral. Not a dry eye in the house.
One of those we lost way too soon❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful reaction. Growing up in Germany, I listened to John Denver all the time and this was one of my favorite songs.

Love his music, this one of my favs. Enjoy this one.
I'm a Colorado native, John lived in Aspen, I live above Kremmling on Gore mountain. You have to see the beauty of our mountains. I consider myself blessed to see this beauty everyday.
I sat here watching you climb a mountain. Beautiful reaction.
It's like I hear these songs for the first time with you. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
My pleasure!
I first started watching you in my friend sent me your coverage of The Star-Spangled banner and I subscribe that day and watched about 10 of them that day. Bee Gees was great. I get emotional with you
So glad to see someone else discovering John. I grew up on his music thanks to my parents. His voice and his poetry never fail to move me.
Maybe one of the only things better than listening to a John Denver song is doing so while getting to watch you enjoy it so much! Thank you Sarah!!

Love your wonderful reaction to this John Denver classic.
John Denver had amazing lyrics👍🏻🎶❤️
He was one of the best
I love the way you enjoy John Denver's music, something similar happens to me. Greetings from Mexico
John touched the sun, his spirit still flies with the Eagles to this day.
John Denver: Beauty and magic in the form of his music and wonderful voice.
Thank you, Miss Sarah.
Listen to his "Take me home, country roads." He will make you homesick for a place you've never been to.
Radio stations originally banned playing this song. They claimed it was a song about drug use. Later John Denver testified to the Senate with Dee Snyder from Twister Sister about the dangers of censorship.
“And he lost a friend, but kept the memory…” Damn, man.
Great singer/songwriter who inspired so many...
Amazing song ❤
Thank you Sarah. I love the way you talk about singers and their songs. And I love the love that you show for them. You are a very special person.
This man had an amazing talent died too young. Love his voice, it lifts my mood every time.
Words, music, voice and how it paints such a beautiful picture, even better watching your reactions. I was blessed to grow up playing John's songs on piano, back in 70's.. ❤😊😊😊
Such a wonderful song about a wonder of nature song by a true sole.
John was great!!! Great song. Loved most all his songs before he died
Iconic Talent! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There was a magical voice that tragically left us way too soon.
I love your channel, you let us listen to the whole song without interruption. Thank you❤❤❤
One of the best voices i ever hear. Clear as a diamond and heartwarming.
🇺🇸 I love your videos which reminds us what a wonderful country we have. I hope it recovers from the mess we're in now. God Bless You!
He wrote this song after watching a meteor shower (raining fire in the sky) while up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, USA
Such a RICH voice.. and he could hold a friggin note.. his connection to nurture bursts through.. two states have their state songs by him- west va too - country roads..
I LIKE THIS SONG
When he said he’s seen it rain and fire in the sky he means he saw shooting stars shooting across the sky. I. The mountains it’s sooo dark and the stars just shine bright like fire
Another exquisite reaction from you, dear Sarah. ❤
This is a joyous reaction to a wonderful singer and amazing song. It doesn't get much better!
I've been there. To see the galaxy stretched out before you in the mountains while shooting stars color the night in the Colorado wilderness. There's no place I've ever been that has the magic of Colorado. And I've been around. There's a beauty there beyond the the works of man. A gentle peace high in the mountains. I wish I was there now.
His music will live forever. I hope and pray to tell him personally someday on the other side!
Having seen your previous John Denver videos, I knew you would love and be touched by Rocky Mountain High.
I have played this song both times I took a road trip to Colorado Springs as soon as you see the rockies I put this song on its so appropriate colorado is a state of mind the scenery is breathtaking the mountains glacier lakes gods hand touched colorado
There are two other John Denver ongs you should really listen to. One is The Eagle and the Hawk, the o ther is Fly Away which he did as a duet with Olivia Newton John. Both are quite lovely and I think you would like them.
Beautiful song. Love your reaction. Dagmar got the list of the next ones to do
John Denver was my first teenager musical crush. I memorized his Country Roads for an audition. My voice cracked. Oh, it was bad. LOL. What you should listen to now is a group named Bread performing "If".
I wish I could give you many thumbs up. I love watching your reaction over and over.
I love the passion you show us listening to new to you videos
I was lucky enough to be at a concert on his last Australian tour in 1995. Magic!
I always think of my dad when I hear John. I loved how his voice matured. When his record label dropped him he recorded independently. And it was such a fantastic album called Higher Ground. There's a song on it I love called Homegrown Tomatoes, and Whispering Jesse. My dad was a country boy so he always played A Country Girl in Paris....LOVE Calypso, Poems Prayers and Promises, by my absolute fave by him is a song called Matthew. If you haven't heard THAT song by him. DO.
John Denver was a talented voice. He's awesome 👍😎 I am sad he is gone now.
Sarah, I'm about 8 months away from buying some land in the Oregon forest.. I'll be away from people, I'll have to rough it, grow and hunt most of my own food..Bu't I've great outdoor survival skills/supplies (Including 2 solar generators for power ) ,Taken extended camping trips and I have to admit, there's nothing better for your soul like what Denver describes in the song. All my freinds who keep asking me why need to lisen to this tune-then they'd understand! Loved your reaction!
Love John Denver. Beautiful song!! Nice to see you enjoy this!😊
Gorgeous!
I have to add that Calypso would be well worth reacting to. It is amazing!! Your reaction to this was lovely! (from Lise Hull)
A great reaction.

I can hardly believe how this song still brings a tear to my eye
Beautiful song my beautiful sister!
Same with the West Virginia one ...its so true.
COLORADO AND THE ENERGY THERE..THE COLORS..THATS WHY IS CALLED COLORADO..IT MEANS MANY COLORS IN SPANISH..BUT THE WEST VIRGINIA ONE MAKES ME CRY TOO.
I LIVED THERE TWICE AND CANNOT DESCRIBE THE FEELING OF THE AREA AND THE LOVING PEOPLE THERE...THANK YOI BEAUTIFUL SOUL..YOURE DOIMG A GREAT JOB ON EARTH.
GREAT MISSION YOU HAVE❤
I remember John Denver did you know that he performanced his last concert here in corpus Christi Texas kinda of ironic corpus Christi stands for the body of Christ great job as always Sarah 👍
Lol….told you this was a fabulous song by Denver…..I so miss him.
I really enjoy your videos. I am so glad you love John Denver. I have loved him since I was a little girl. Thank you for being you. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. Please keep making videos. We need more of you in this world. ❤
Some friends and I used to camp in the Colorado Rockies, the Grand Tetons and Alberta way, back in the seventies. There were these places that struck you to the bone with their beauty. In the late spring of '76 we camped along Grand Tetons, with the snow-capped mountain range in the background, piercing low hanging gray clouds ("poking the eye of God") nesting behind a line of tall pines at their foot, a clear ice-cold mountain lake in front of them, and in the foreground was a field of multitude of different colored wild flowers. We nick-named the place "Cheyenne Valley." We cooked thick steaks, with its juices dripping over open flames, causing them to lick the the meat, along with baked potatoes, and drank beer cooled in the ice-cold lake. Best damn meal I ever had or ever will! If there's a heaven, then Cheyenne Valley was a glimpse of it!
Love it
I so happy to someone in your generation listen to my generation's beautiful music. You seem to enjoy it so much, I am happy for you.

I went to a John Denver concert it was great.
You have a great ear. So glad for you tube for reasons just like this. Enjoy
Fantabulous reaction Sister ❤
Great song❤
We have had some excellent song writers and some excellent singers. Seldom does both come in a single package like John and Dolly
Your reactions are so wonderful.
His music is so clean sounding on that guitar
He loved nature beloved our beautiful planet. A conservationist
"he knew he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly", one of the greatest lines ever.
Artists my parents played for me when I was a young boy in the 70s: John Denver, Cat Stevens, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Julio Iglesias, The Beatles, ABBA...
I grew up with JD and saw him too many times to count. I love his version of this song for The Wildlife Concert. Peace
One of my favourite songs from john is called" Friends i will remember you" it will be sung at my funeral...❤ he had so many beautiful sings....
