    Lyrics:
    Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
    Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
    Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
    Sunshine almost always makes me high

    I had three brothers, the youngest (Mike) with Down Syndrome. Brother number two passed away this January 2023. Today my brother Mike came home singing this song. I played it for him and he sang along (of course only the few words he knows). At the end he told me that he loved me and said he missed his brother very much. I had not been able to cry, hearing Mike sing this song . . . the tears came like a river, meanwhile Mike holding me and assuring me that everything will be okay.

    I will never forget being at Disneyland on a hot day in a long serpentine line for one of the rides. Ten year old me in 1971 was feeling cranky. All of a sudden, a hippy in the line somewhere, with an Afro and a tenor voice in the line started singing “Sunshine on my shoulder makes me happy….” That caused a lot of us to smile, and made standing in line seems shorter. it changed my attitude. I always think of that experience want to hear this song.

    This song is so beautiful. When I first heard this masterpiece on the radio while I was driving to the country about 3 yrs ago. The sun was beaming through the trees onto the landscape, and to have this song come was just so right. I just had to come on YT to check out a live performance with John singing it. I was so richly rewarded by John’s wonderful live performance. John seems so peaceful and relaxed. The lyrics are simple but profound too. And the audience I can see is really into John’s performance, and they’re feeling it. John; gone to soon, but his beautiful legacy of his music will live on for generations to enjoy. RIP John Denver. 🙏🏾🇺🇸

    Back in the 70’s I was a teenager wondering about where my life was going to take me, I listened to John, Simon ad Garfunkel, Stevie Wonder, Jame Taylor and the like. John’s songs always made me wonder what the world was like outside the Midwest, I dreamed of Colorado picturing in my mind what it would be like to live there. Because of a John I made it my life’s goal and 40 years later my beautiful wife and my two wonderful Children made it, we live in the mountains and John’s music is a big reason why. His music is timeless and changed who I was and am as a person. God bless John and thank you for being a part of the man I became.

    I met him going through a drive through Deli in Long Island at 16 years old. He was so humble kind and down to earth. He had finished his concerts in Madison Square Garden & had chosen to stay on Long Island. His humble car was all packed, no entourage no security just him getting ready to go home.

      Many songs don't sound as good live as they do in the studio because in the studio, they have ideal acoustics and are able to blend in music as well as do many takes until the recording is just right. This version of "Sunshine On My Shoulders" is better than any studio version. Love the flute. It was the highlight of "The Wildlife Concert" set of songs he did.

Proof of the gifts and blessings we each are given, I could certainly see John’s gift. He had the whole mountain with people sitting on the beautiful green slopes there, feeling the peace that his voice brought. There will never be another one like him. I miss him very much.

    This song, always brings me joy when I am down. I love sitting on the dock listening to this song and the sun shining on my face and all the beautiful birds flying over me and around me. And the sun on the lakes and rivers are beautiful.

    When the audience wants to sing along but mimes the words so only the purity of this magnificent performance is heard. This is special.

      One of the finest examples of human beings. What a voice and emotion.

    This man is a piece of legandary that sadly doesn't exist in this world today. May he rest in peace and his music live forever 🙏🏼❤️❤️
