Listening to you guys was a privilege and an honor!!! If you had as much fun creating and performing this wonderful music as we did listening to it - then we are both blessed!!! If John Denver’s music lives in the hearts of those who have been left behind - then his music will never die! Bless you all! We are just an ordinary organism - living on the outermost shell of an ordinary planet for a few trips around the local star!! Thank you - you have helped to make it a wonderful ride!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Peace washes over me as I sit and listen to this. It is my favorite song that John ever sang. I never imagined it could be so beautiful without his voice. The pictures tells such a great story. The images, and especially the faces.... I loved them, each and every one.
I heard this song camping with my uncle a few years back and I never really gave the song much thought. Last year he passed away and the very next day I hear this song on the radio. I've been in love with this song ever since. John Denver is an amazing artist and he died doing what he loved which is amazing. I really wish my generation would start listening to music like this again. R.I.P. John Denver and R.I.P. Uncle Jr. You guys will never be forgotten. :)
John's songs will always forever bring back memories that we all have shared with one another in this life,mother & dad loved his music very much though they are gone now to be with the Lord I feel their presence close to me listening to John's music wherever I am,God bless you mother & dad & John!!.
❤😢😊 wow sublime! This is a beautiful rendition thank you for sharing. I just got the album Harbor Lights in 1995 and JD gives you a shoutout after For You. Between his stunning vocals and your beautiful piano it was something special to hear. What a great set of memories to have toured with the one and only JD. Thanks for keeping his 🎵 music and spirit alive. I'll share this his fan site. And love the album you did of JD's songs you did. ❤ Blessings.
The quiet strength of John' s music coupled with your incredible playing makes for a truly unforgetable duet! Thanks Chris for posting this....It will keep John's music alive for generations to come!
The affection shared between band members and John is evident in the video..The emotions of the tune reflect the emotion I have when listening to John's music.. He, I am sure is smiling down on you.. Thank you for this beautiful image of John♥ ~Marion
You have granted the greatest gift,, that of yourself. You, individually embody the best amalgam of all the worlds skills, in music & instrument crafts, and scientific & cultural integration, that assimilates but does not demand conformity. Juxtaposing Denver with skilled piano, precision & passion showcases how we are all changed & made better. Thank you for your contribution. Beautifully played.
I come back to revisit this video frequently. It evokes such a special feeling, for John, for the times you shared with him, and the sorrow of all that we've lost. Then again, though the singer is silent, there is still truth in the song....at least, we have his songs!
This is just beautiful!! This song has always been very special to me because it's the first JD song I heard that made such an impact in my life. I went to many JD concerts, my last being on June 22, 1997 at Villa Montalvo in the foothills of Saratoga, CA, it was an afternoon concert and the beauty of nature was all around us, John seemed right at home. Thanks Chris for sharing this, one of the best and most beautiful piano renditions I have EVER heard!
Once again, I'm so moved when I watch this video. How special it must have been to share these experiences. John is missed so much...he was so ahead of his time in so many ways. Thanks for keeping his spirit and music alive. He was blessed to have such talent tour with him.
I truly believe that music can change the world, John’s especially. Your rendition of the song and the accompanying video shows how immersed in this world John was, he remains immersed in the hearts of his fans to this day and forever.
This video touches me every time I revisit it. The affection shared between band members and John is evident...and your performance of his song beautifullyl expresses the feelings. How I miss John's musical gifts to the world. Thanks for keeping his memory and him music alive.
Thank you for a wonderful video. So beautiful. Thank you for sharing along with your beautiful Poems, Prayers and Promises on piano. Together, John's fans will keep his music alive
What a lovely tribute to your friend. I got to meet John when I was in college in 1971 - his high school chum was a friend of mine. John Denver was such a nice guy. May you always cherish these wonderful memories.
I can not believe this beautiful video only got 215 thumbs up & 5 thumbs down??? This has got to be the best piano playing of this song that I ever heard absolutely great...
Sitting in Burkina Faso before sunrise wishing Chris could narrate these photos while also thanking Jesus for the wonderful gift of life and creation that allows us to experience Him.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to an incredible human being, the memories made and a beautiful song. Thanks for posting this for all of us to see and hear.
Chris - this is absolutely beautiful - both the sensitive arrangement of a most precios song and the way you have presented the visuals. Thankyou on behalf of myself ........ and John xxxx
Wonderful well cone video. Thank you so very much for sharing your wonderful talent and personal photos with us. John will always be in our hearts and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him and miss him.
How beautiful! As the anniversary of John's death nears, it triggers reflection on the ways in which John and his music have touched us. Thanks for sharing your memories in such a special way.
thank you. he is for such a lovely arrangement. also the photos, so I could also see a few of my late cousin Pete Huttlinger. I still listen to colors in time that you both put together. beautiful stuff!!
I have only been playing the piano for about a year. This is the 5th song that I have chosen to learn. I have been just playing the cords so far and was looking for some inspiration on how I was going to proceed. I do believe you have hit it on the head. Thanks so much, Dwight
this is just so heart rendering... Beautifully performed and arranged.. Thankyou Chris for posting.... Hope to see you in Aspen..... next week!!! its soo close now ..
Chris, the music and visuals are so lovely. I still have the Colors in Time CD you and Pete released many years ago and I play it often. It includes your original "Travels" composition, which I love as well. Thank you for this heart-warming video.
Hi Chris! I'm only 15 years old but I'm a big fan of John Denver his music really touches me. I was wondering if you could play Calypso and upload it to RUclips. It's my dad's favourite song. I loved your rendition of Rocky Mountain High by the way it made me cry.
As of today, I do not. I try to transcribe my piano arrangements on a regular basis - but to do it right, it takes a lot of time. I would like to transcribe this arrangement at some point. Thank you for the compliment. Here are the titles that I currently have notated: chrisnole.com/sheet-music
@engelbert7 This song can be found on Chris's CD "Fly Away". It's available on itunes, cd baby, and on his website if you are interested. I highly recommend checking it out! He has a whole collection of beautiful songs. Hope this helps you!
