      I agree! But as a Swede Im sad that so few of our Scandinavian folk and troubadours musicians are not heard by the international public. "Öppna Landskap" by Ulf Lundell, is one of the greatest songs Ive ever heard and you can hear this second national anthem of Sweden with English translation on this platform!

    I am 70 now and tears come to my eyes when I hear some of John Denver's songs. My parents were still alive and so were my folk singing brother Tim and my sister Christine.

      Had this sung at our wedding too back in 1975. Beautiful combination of tender lyrics and a lovely tune in 3/4 time - played a sung perfectly in a live setting. My wife and I have fond memories of attending a John Denver concert at Universal Amphitheater while we were dating - probably one of the reasons we chose it for our wedding.

    In the 70’s I was just a young boy and recorded this song over and over again onto a cassette tape from a record and gave it to my mother for her birthday. I didn’t understand why she started crying when she heard it and realized what it was, then later I saw her friends tear up when she told them about it. I thought it was just a nice song for my mom. She’s long since gone now and it’s my turn to get misty eyed listening to it and remembering that birthday decades ago…

I didn’t want to go on after she passed and I’m still struggling. She did say to me several times, please don’t be sad when I’m gone because you’ll know it’s what I want.

Before she passed away in ‘92, I complied this song with others on a disc for her to listen to on a Sony Discman. It gives me comfort that she had John Denver’s beautiful music to listen to during hospice care.
