as a very, very young child growing up in snowy MN, I would sit and listen to John Denver albums...over and over...for hours...Looking for Space was one that would make me tear up...as a 4/5 year old...His music was just that real, rich and touching....
Me too. Childhood in Minnesota spent listening to my parents' John Denver albums over and over and over. This song is vying for my all time favorite of his.
I miss him so much! Cool, crisp, well written, meaningful, loving lyrics and music. He continues to have relevance in all our lives, even in his absence.
Same here. It was the season ending episode where he was shot and you didn't know if he made it or not. Great scene. Couldn't find the scene on RUclips. But the song fit
Same here, I watched every episode of Magnum pi. I have all the series as my kids have been giving me them for Christmas. Got to watch him in Hawaii filming a episode on the beach playing volleyball. After the episode Limbo, I recorded the song from the show. One of the local DJ's helped identify it for me. I wish I could get a copy of Limbo but as far as I know, they still haven't released it.😢
Flying over Rockies many times in a year, How can I not sing his songs along with Danny Fogelberg….. GOD, I wish they were still with us.. Please take care them both!
Lost my 4 yr old son tragically over 3 years ago and fell into deep despair. This song helped me heal to the point where I am today. The words communicate a beautiful message to me and helped provide answers I desperately needed. Thanks John for helping not to stay in the bad place I was in. Brings me tears so often when I hear it.
Have you ever heard a guy sing with such clarity as this guy, crystal clear and with such harmony , i'm really struggling to even think of a singer who comes anywhere near to this voice, it wasn't in my era but my god i wish it had been, we just don't seem to have these kind of quality singers nowadays, what an incredible talent this guy was
Mikey Drake Smith you have amazing taste in music. Don’t wish it was your era tho because that would make you that much older lol Listening to John Denver right now and longing for my younger days..
@@brurade Isn't that the rock solid truth. About JDs talent AND being older. I graduated high school in '75 when this album, perhaps his best some would argue, came out.
When one hears JD, it feels that the words are coming out from your inner self or own soul. So connecting and natural. No other singer comes even 10 percent close to him.
Mine, too...when I hit the Rockies, my JD cds hit the cd player in my car and this song expresses exactly how I feel when I'm surrounded by their majesty...it's bittersweet because it so sad that he's left this earth...his music touches every piece of my soul. :)
This tune is so relatable in anyone's life who is struggling with life's issues. John Denver was an American treasure in our history of humanity and music. R.I.P. John Denver 🙏❤️
Couple of weeks ago, my 36-year-old son called me saying that he felt a little bit lost. I told him to go sit in his riverside cabana and listen to this song. He texted me later telling me thanks for the relieving cry😢.
His Christmas album with the Muppets was one of my earliest memories. As I got older I warmed to the rest of his music. He also cared deeply about wildlife & environmental issues. So his death was indeed a huge loss.
Many wonderful artisits with angelic voices but JD had the best for me. A very special singer that wrote so many songs that touched so many in so many fitting ways. His songs bring many tears sometimes but I thank God for giving us this wonderful singer song writer. He has to have a special place !
I was looking for space for eight years after losing my mother and only brother in the same year and this song helped me make it through ... Thanks John
I've always listened to lyrics. So much music just doesn't touch you with it's lyrics the way this song can and so many of his songs. Iced passed this song down to my 26yr old daughter who "gets it". JD was an incredible artist who never got the place in music history that he deserves.
I just watched the final episode of Magnum PI -- Season 7 where Magnum dies, and walks off into the clouds while this song was playing . . . It was intended to be the series finale, but then they did Season 8. Still, this song brought a tear to my eye, and I really miss JD. Odd, too, that he died flying out into space . . .
I discovered this song only about 6 years ago and it has morphed into Of my all time favorite songs. It gives me such a profound sense of joy and hope even in the darkest times
Isn't it wild how a song can trigger memories. Growing up as a kid in the 1970s, mom had John's albums playing constantly. I can remember sitting in the playroom carving an apple for my new shrunken head kit. Wow, that's bizarre but it's amazing how we hear a song 1000 times as a kid but one time sticks in your mind. We grew up on the best music!
Höre diesen Song zum ersten Mal und frage mich,warum er relativ unbekannt ist,denn er ist wunderschön,richtig zu Herzen gehend.Auch die wunderbare Stimme von John Denver kommt hier so richtig zur Geltung.
This and Sweet Surrender, songs of youth and solitude and searching, made the 70s, my 20s idyllic. You can always go back there on RUclips and enjoy fellow comments.
On the road of experience, I'm trying to find my own way. Sometimes I wish that I could fly away. When I think that I'm moving, suddenly things stand still. I'm afraid cause I think they always will. And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair. All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems. I get lost in the sadness and the screams. Then I look in the center and suddenly everything's clear. I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand. It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair. On the road of experience, join in the living day. If there's an answer it's just that it's just that way, When you're looking for space and to find out who you are. When you're looking to try and reach the stars. It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there. Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.
I got this feeling long ago when I was away from home studying. Now I'm much older and I have this feeling again, after years of struggling and finally having some of my dreams start to come together. I've been through hell. I'm still smelling of sulfur but I have hope for the first time in forever, after so many rug-pulls.
Last year, television's most popular private investigator met his maker. As "Magnum" enters its final season, are you ready for a miracle? I remember CBS playing this song with the above narration as a promo for Season 8 after it was highlighted at the end of Season 7.
Saw John Denver "Red Rocks" '85. Around the same time, "EST" (Werner Erhard), 'space' was part of the lingo, anyway I've associated the two. Anyone else?
This is the song I want to play at my funeral. I wish to fly and find my space in this world. Mortal and immortal. RIP JD. God I miss you.
“Mortal and Immortal” very appropriate term.
I miss him so much, too💙
I miss him so much, too💙
I can really feel you on this one respect brother
Funny, I was listening to this, and thought the same thing.
How many of you that are listening to this song it makes you feel like that you want to cry
John Denver’s song bring me closer to God than any hymns that I have ever heard.

I too was in MN as a young girl listening over and over to these masterpieces❤
Such an honest, sweet comment.🥰
I miss him so much! Cool, crisp, well written, meaningful, loving lyrics and music. He continues to have relevance in all our lives, even in his absence.
I first heard this wonderful song in the episode of Magnum P.I. "Limbo" last of the seventh season. Extremely beautiful.
Same here. It was the season ending episode where he was shot and you didn't know if he made it or not. Great scene. Couldn't find the scene on RUclips. But the song fit
Same!!! Great tv series, great song... better times back then!!
I wholeheartedly agree. This song really speaks to me. Thank you John for a little help in finding my way.

I as well. A well chosen song.
His music touched so many people. Life was so much simpler then. I miss our innocence.
I saw John every opportunity I had from 1979 forward. I lost track at 17 concerts. His voice now still a treasure we all enjoyed and miss terribly.
How much I would give to see a concert.
I was 20 years old when this song came out. Man, could I relate to it!
One of my very favorites of John's, love that intro !
Flying over Rockies many times in a year, How can I not sing his songs along with Danny Fogelberg….. GOD, I wish they were still with us.. Please take care them both!

My heart goes out to you. Love & Light to you and your family ❤
Shows the power of music! Prayers go a long way too, and my prayers are with you.

This song really touches me. I don't know why, but every time I hear it I begin to tear up.
Same here. I even told my wife I want this song played at my funeral.
Me too.
Me too.
Me too , must me the beautiful lyrics , he had that gift ❤ , peace ✌🏼
Me too. I think listening now, as an adult, it touches me even more.
Have you ever heard a guy sing with such clarity as this guy, crystal clear and with such harmony , i'm really struggling to even think of a singer who comes anywhere near to this voice, it wasn't in my era but my god i wish it had been, we just don't seem to have these kind of quality singers nowadays, what an incredible talent this guy was
Amo essas poesias
Mikey Drake Smith you have amazing taste in music. Don’t wish it was your era tho because that would make you that much older lol
Listening to John Denver right now and longing for my younger days..
I so agree with you, John Denver was a massive talent, still is in my life always will be. R.I.P. John Denver 🙏
@@brurade
Isn't that the rock solid truth. About JDs talent AND being older.
I graduated high school in '75 when this album, perhaps his best some would argue, came out.
Totally agree!! The world lost a great artist!
Music that was always and still is real! They don't make it like this anymore.
Saw this on Magnum pi with my brother we teared up
When one hears JD, it feels that the words are coming out from your inner self or own soul. So connecting and natural. No other singer comes even 10 percent close to him.
When ur starting to leave a bad part of your life, and ur entering a brighter, new era, THIS is the BEST song to listen to.
I feel the same way I miss him
Well said. This is an extraordinarily beautiful song.
Same goes for the inverse, really. Helps keep things in perspective for me, and to remember that things will eventually get better when they go awry.
Beautiful description of this song
Well said
He Left us too early. Unforgettable music that will survive for many many years
John Denver will always be remembered for so many generations...
He understood it all. My favorite song.
Mine, too...when I hit the Rockies, my JD cds hit the cd player in my car and this song expresses exactly how I feel when I'm surrounded by their majesty...it's bittersweet because it so sad that he's left this earth...his music touches every piece of my soul. :)
Incredible Vibrato.......that man could sing!!!!
This tune is so relatable in anyone's life who is struggling with life's issues. John Denver was an American treasure in our history of humanity and music. R.I.P. John Denver 🙏❤️
Hello Caroline, how are you doing. I was in the
comment section and I came across yours I was
thrilled to say Hello
Old songs are really something different. Unlike today's songs. Feels like heaven when i hear this song while sleeping
at nights
John Denver was a good man to me and I met him nine times before he died and I just can’t believe he’s gone
awesome - how did you meet him so often?
Miss him, he filled my heart and spirit as a teen, now in my sixties and his music still lifts me. Thank you John.
Same!
Couple of weeks ago, my 36-year-old son called me saying that he felt a little bit lost. I told him to go sit in his riverside cabana and listen to this song.

Hugs to your son ❤❤
Thank the heavens for sharing John Denver with us 🕊 The world is a better place with his eternal music 🌈
So sad he's gone. What a gift. A part of us went with him.
Yep.
Yes a piece of each of us who loved/love his message and music went down that October Sunday evening.
John Denver is a legend and his legacy will never die. His music is timeless.
His Christmas album with the Muppets was one of my earliest memories. As I got older I warmed to the rest of his music. He also cared deeply about wildlife & environmental issues. So his death was indeed a huge loss.
Fortunately, he left behind a biggest part of himself with us... for generations to come.
One of Very Few, who truly sang from the heart. You know because it resonates through you.
Many wonderful artisits with angelic voices but JD had the best for me. A very special singer that wrote so many songs that touched so many in so many fitting ways. His songs bring many tears sometimes but I thank God for giving us this wonderful singer song writer. He has to have a special place !
His music helped me to fly away. He's is dearly missed.
Amen!
I was looking for space for eight years after losing my mother and only brother in the same year and this song helped me make it through ... Thanks John
Those are big losses. Hope you have found a new balance in your life. I know it's hard!
Bless your heart!
Keep your faith brother 🙏
I am so sorry for your losses
@@pathacker4963 Thankyou
This song really uplifts me. I like a lot of music from so many genres. Not much touches this one.

RIP John. There will never be another you. The music and talent shone so bright for just a little while. Thanks for the dreams.
A great artist is loved by different generations - it’s a rare accomplishment. John Denver has achieved it. Love John Denver

This is one of my JD favorites. 😊
John Dever was a great man he was everything and every emotion in us we shall never forget how he made us feel this song speaks to my heart 😭😥😢😫♥️💙
The man sang songs that spoke to so many hearts, & still do today...
I discovered this song only about 6 years ago and it has morphed into Of my all time favorite songs. It gives me such a profound sense of joy and hope even in the darkest times

Magnum P.I. with Tom Selleck, this song was played when he "died." I had not heard it before then and have loved it ever since.
Love this song! Rest in Peace, sir …..
He wrote some great songs.
One of my favorites.....LOve John Denver …...his songs, his voice

John’s beautiful tribute to Werner Erhart and the experience of life and est and the Forum. Beautiful presence. Beautiful John.
Höre diesen Song zum ersten Mal und frage mich,warum er relativ unbekannt ist,denn er ist wunderschön,richtig zu Herzen gehend.Auch die wunderbare Stimme von John Denver kommt hier so richtig zur Geltung.
My twin sister and I share his birthday on December 31 and can be deep and melancholy like him too! But Capricorns can sure shine!
Great accompaniment to a melancholy/meditative mood...If there's an answer it's just that it's just that way...
He had such an effortless, pure sound. In the last chorus he's close to high C and he's not even trying.
He was and still is the best

All alone in the universe, sometimes that's how it seems.
I get lost in the sadness and the screams.
Then I look in the center and suddenly everything's clear.
I find myself in the sunshine and my dreams
And I'm looking for space and to find out who I am, and I'm looking to know and understand.
It's a sweet, sweet dream, sometimes I'm almost there.
Sometimes I fly like an eagle and sometimes I'm deep in despair.
On the road of experience, join in the living day.
If there's an answer it's just that it's just that way,
When you're looking for space and to find out who you are.
When you're looking to try and reach the stars.

Stress relieving song. Relaxing.
One of the very greatest with another very uplifting beauty, this one from the spring of 1976. :-]
Death comes to us all, so it’s always been foretold; it obviously takes the body… but God always gets the soul.

Maybe is strange but today i heard this song for the first time after watching that episode of Magnum.
There's still Blue Bloods
I remember the English lady, whoever she was, playing this song and saying to Magnum "Have you heard this? It's quite extraordinary." Indeed it is.

Flash back to Magnum PI, when I hear this.
beautifull song
Oh one of my favorites!!!
Reminds of the the awesome tv show Magnum P. I. The scene where magnum is dying and walking into heaven.
Saw John Denver "Red Rocks" '85. Around the same time, "EST" (Werner Erhard), 'space' was part of the lingo, anyway I've associated the two. Anyone else?
My favorite album…WINDSONG album.It holds many good songs like COWBOY'S DELIGHT , LATE NITE RADIO,LOVE IS EVERYWHERE and this LOOKING FOR SPACE !
All of this mans music was inspired to him from a higher power.Every song has god written all over it
Amen
An underated talent from a time when people sang with their hearts 💕 not auto tune
I play this song to Combat soliders with PTSD .
God bless you for helping our vets.
30 seconds in and i might as well be sat looking over an escarpment deep in the rockies…..thats where this guy take me.
What a wonderful song this is! this song made me cry! I miss him a lot with his song!
Beautiful, always listen to this when doing homework or just relaxing!
This came out when I was 16. I loved it so much, I bought the album

It was great theme song for the Erhard Seminar Training, known as EST. Werner Erhard was the founder of the organization.
Wow he and Bucky Fuller and Werner started the hunger project. That is how I met he and Annie in the 80s.
Spaceship Earth gets lost in the hargy bargy profit mongers and greedy people - help us big John D
You will find him singing as a young man in so america
