When I die I want this song played because it is one of the only songs that ever made me cry and smile at the same time. I love it so much. Thank you John Denver. I believe it is the best song he did.
I remember being in the psychiatrist's waiting room and this came on the radio in the background. A sad looking woman across from me listened intently to the lyrics and smiled a little, just a little...
This is a favorite of mine from 1976, i used to lay back, and sway...not sing to this one however, as it was more difficult to reach those high notes. It certainly has a message when the weather is grey & wet and your alone again trying to enjoy music like this one which was play on the local pop stations as were all of Johns country flavored hits. They may not hold up so well on the pop stations of today as we have country radio now. Thanks for the great video to go along with the song!
This song is still one of my favorites because no matter how old we get to be, we are always looking for space. Trying to understand things around us. And the only way that we will truely understand is by experience. Weather it be a good experience or a bad one we have learned something by it. The only DVD that I have seen of John flying with the Eagle was "Let This Be A Voice" There was a period of time when I did not watch a lot of TV. So I have missed a bunch of John's specials.
No worries, you are not alone. Due to my parents we were already John Denver fans but my brother and I still talk about that Magnum P.I. episode to this day when we hear or play this song!
I recall being at my lowest point as a young person and being at the psychiatrist's office and this came on the radio in the waiting room. A woman in the room raised her head and listened intently and smiled a little out the window. Then we caught each other's eye and quickly looked away. Like there was so much in the lyrics that explained why we were there and what there was to hope for.
This was also the theme of an especially memorable episode(2-part) of Magnum P.I. which was an epic show. I watched it as a kid and as an adult have now watched all 8 seasons completely through twice. Have always loved John Denver's music and always will. This comes from an era where actual talent was applauded. How far things have fallen...
Yes, I agree that this is one of John Denver's finest songs ever written and sung by him. The meaning is so rich and deep, especially from someone else who had experienced the same training that John Denver took and experienced for himself after writing this song. And the meaning was expressed so beautifully in this song and the Move: "Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron."....when he sang, "Sometimes I fly like an Eagle, and sometimes I'm deep in despair!"
I remember this song being used on "Magnum PI". The older British lady, whatever her name was, said to Magnum "Have you heard this? It's quite extraordinary." Indeed it is.
LO MÁXIMO MI JOHN DENVER!!!...SIEMPRE ESTARÁS ENTRE NOSOTROS A TRAVÉS DE TU HERMOSO Y GRAN LEGADO!...GRACIAS POR ESE VIDEO TAN BIEN ACOPLADO CON LA MÚSICA, MISTIKAY!!! TE QUEDÓ MUY BONITO!!!
John denver is the most talented musician of all time. Just love his songs. His songs always lift me out of my depression. There will never ever be another John denver.
The first time I heard this song was in that episode! I'd been away at college and hadn't followed the show as much, and then I see this episode a year after I graduated and said, "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then CBS played this song in an October '87 announcement and said, "Last year television's most popular private investigator met his maker. As 'Magnum' enters its final season, are you ready for a miracle?"
I love John Denver I saw him once in concert. I wish I could have met him. Losing him was a loss to this world, and a gain to heaven. This is my life song. My life video plays in my mind whenever I hear it. Thank you wonderful God for John Denver.
Walking this earth and being heard, the angelic voice will be REMEMBERED throught time. you , taught us a lesson. for those whom heard it ... applaud the music and your mem, praise god, believe in, profess to the lord in prayer ,outloud, or where ever you need to .....[with respect]........!rory
Thank you for putting one of my favourites to this touching video. John was my friend. I never met him and only saw him once, in concert. But, I gained comfort from knowing he was out there, trying to help us live in a safer, more peaceful world. I miss him but his music still lives in my heart. Thank you for sharing.
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, 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, sweet dream Sometimes I'm almost there Sometimes I fly like an eagle But sometimes I'm deep in despair Sometimes I fly like an eagle, Like an eagle I go flying flying
What most people don't know is that John wrote this song as a result of his participation in a human potential training program called EST: Erhard Seminars Training created by Werner Erhard. Once you've taken the course--or it's modern-day equivalent--"The Forum"--you'll have a much better appreciation for the lyrics in this song. I did. And I do! Wonderful song!
The lyrics are clearly the result of his involvement with the 1970s human potential group called... est. As a est graduate myself, hearing this song after so long a time is like a shock to the system. I know of what he sings because some of his experience was also mine. And yes... it also brings tears to my eyes.
when i was young age 5, grew up and heard this an many other songs of J.D now im getting old...33 yrs , hahaha and a father of 2 beautifull girls age 5 and 8 justin bieber gannam style...etc but when i play JD on guitar or play his music on lp/cd they sing a long sometimes they even get tears in there eyes..and saying this is beautifull good music never die's that's all i try too say
@jenafuller Thank you for your comment, There are many of us who miss JD. He made an impact on a lot of lives all over the world. A true treasure. Thank you Michelle
This is one of my favoutites of his. His voice was a gift from God to us. Thank you John ❤️
When I die I want this song played because it is one of the only songs that ever made me cry and smile at the same time. I love it so much. Thank you John Denver. I believe it is the best song he did.
This song absolutely kills me every time I hear it. It brings joy and despair all at the same time.
Very well-put.
I remember being in the psychiatrist's waiting room and this came on the radio in the background. A sad looking woman across from me listened intently to the lyrics and smiled a little, just a little...
You said the same thing 3 years prior to this. And that was 12 years ago... i hope you are doing well nowadays
Beautiful. John had such a powerful and clear voice.
Best John Denver song!
This song is on the Windsong album from 1975. It is available on CD.
This one will be played at my funeral. GREAT song.
This is a great song by a unique and incredibly talented guy.
His death is a big loss for all (country)music lovers everywhere.
I would like this song played at my funeral some day. Spread my ashes on a horse ranch!
The first time I heard this song, it saved my life. I didn’t feel alone in these same thoughts. Still miss you John 😢❤❤

This has always been one of my favorite John Denver songs. It's the way I feel about myself...

Magical words.. Answers for all situations. Happy and sad. Keeps hope alive always.
Awesome blend, very thoughtful application of nice moments of the film with an immortal song.

I love this song as I do so many of JD's beautiful songs, beautiful voice, beautiful soul.

was thinking of that this morning
One word: Amazing 🤩
I had not heard this in along time...beautiful!
I believe this song was recorded shortly after he completed the EST training
Yes, I agree that this is one of John Denver's finest songs ever written and sung by him. The meaning is so rich and deep, especially from someone else who had experienced the same training that John Denver took and experienced for himself after writing this song.

Another of his very finest: Calypso.

Thanks, though.
I think the video matches this wonderful song perfectly..

Thank you for your comment, and I do agree.

Thank you for commenting, I agree
Thank you for your comment. I did do a video using this same animation to Eagles And Horses. I will be happy to share it with you if you would like.
Most poignant song ever. A true spirit of being yourself and independent.
That's a double-disc but thanks anyway.
Thumbs down? Go to Walmart and buy a heart💔
I have space ships alreydy
Al vin Gu y😊 0:32 Al 🎉
Al vin Gu 😢
How'd you like to blast this song though the Grand Canyon?
John denver is the most talented musician of all time. Just love his songs. His songs always lift me out of my depression. There will never ever be another John denver.
I'd say he's one of the most underrated musicians of all time
I had this song on a vinyl album in the 70s. Can never listen to John's music without a tear in my eyes. He was the best.
this is more that just music, this guy had a spiritual side of him that few understood. He was a very deep person and this song proofs it.
how i wish this Guy still alive no ONE make a music and sing like him
The first time I heard this song was in that episode! I'd been away at college and hadn't followed the show as much, and then I see this episode a year after I graduated and said, "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Then CBS played this song in an October '87 announcement and said, "Last year television's most popular private investigator met his maker.

this song never fails to bring tears to my eyes... Rest In Peace John and God Bless You!!
I love John Denver
I saw him once in concert. I wish I could have met him. Losing him was a loss to this world, and a gain to heaven. This is my life song. My life video plays in my mind whenever I hear it. Thank you wonderful God for John Denver.
Thank you and I do agree, this is one of my all time favorites.
I fell in love with this song because of an episode on Magnum P.I.
This song was my favorite of all time. His songs of the American west were great, but this one seemed more personal.
This was the "new age" music of the 70's...loved it then...love it now....
Henry John hit #29 in Billboard, 4-3-76. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! RIP, John.
I first heard this on that Magnum episode too. Wonderful, meaningful song.
Walking this earth and being heard, the angelic voice will be REMEMBERED throught time. you , taught us a lesson. for those whom heard it ... applaud the music and your mem, praise god, believe in, profess to the lord in prayer ,outloud, or where ever you need to .....[with respect]........!rory
… throughout …
God gifted Man, R.I.P.
yes I believe it is the best song he did too, I always thought he wrote this for me, I have played this a thousand times.......
BEAUTIFUL!!-love this.Saw JD 9 times in concert-R.I.P
Thank you for putting one of my favourites to this touching video. John was my friend. I never met him and only saw him once, in concert. But, I gained comfort from knowing he was out there, trying to help us live in a safer, more peaceful world. I miss him but his music still lives in my heart. Thank you for sharing.
OMG, same here! I heard this on Magnum years ago and it has been with me ever since!
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, 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, sweet dream
Sometimes I'm almost there
Sometimes I fly like an eagle
But sometimes I'm deep in despair
Sometimes I fly like an eagle,
Like an eagle
I go flying flying
Fantastic Song Singer And Video

What most people don't know is that John wrote this song as a result of his participation in a human potential training program called EST: Erhard Seminars Training created by Werner Erhard. Once you've taken the course--or it's modern-day equivalent--"The Forum"--you'll have a much better appreciation for the lyrics in this song. I did. And I do! Wonderful song!
WONDERFUL RENDITION OF THE SONG, AND POWERFUL VIDEO
Great song! Long live Magnum!
The lyrics are clearly the result of his involvement with the 1970s human potential group called... est. As a est graduate myself, hearing this song after so long a time is like a shock to the system. I know of what he sings because some of his experience was also mine. And yes... it also brings tears to my eyes.

Thank you
