  • "Perhaps love is like a resting place
    A shelter from the storm
    It exists to give you comfort
    It is there to keep you warm
    And in those times of trouble
    When you are most alone
    The memory of love will bring you home
    Perhaps love is like a window
    Perhaps an open door
    It invites you to come closer
    It wants to show you more
    And even if you lose yourself
    And don't know what to do
    The memory of love will see you through
    Oh, love to some is like a cloud
    To some as strong as steel
    For some a way of living
    For some a way to feel
    And some say love is holding on
    And some say letting go
    And some say love is everything
    And some say they don't know
    Perhaps love is like the ocean
    Full of conflict, full of change
    Like a fire when it's cold outside
    Or thunder when it rains
    If I should live forever
    And all my dreams come true
    My memories of love will be of you"

      I saw a YT analysis of his singing recently which gave me some insight as to why he's so good. He's always on pitch, with a slight, very well controlled vibratro, which he can increase for effect, as he wishes. He's also at one with his songs: perfectly conveying his thoughts and emotions.

    I was a student at the University of Georgia in 1972 when my roommate convinced me to go see a fellow named John Denver who was to perform on campus. I had no idea who he was, but agreed to tag along to see him. I left the concert stunned at what I had just heard. What a magnificent performance! What a magnificent voice! What wonderful music. I have loved John Denver since that evening. Thanks, roomie, for your insistence on me going!

      I know I’m way late to this conversation but I’ve loved his music since I was a little girl. I’m 56 now and i have a 6 month old granddaughter and every since she could no longer be rocked to peace or sleep (around 1 month of age) I began to carry her around the house and sing Sunshine on my shoulders to her, softly in her ear and it would stop all crying or fussiness and ease her to sleep.. I then began to play it and sing it to her while she needed comforting and to this day no matter how frustrated or upset or fussy she is, I pick her and rock with her around the house and play that beautiful song and she just settles immediately. She loves it. Thank you John, for giving me a real & deep connection with my sweet, precious girl that belongs to only her and I. 🥹♥️

    I had seen him once in Seattle and enjoyed him. A couple years later had the opportunity to see him again. I was excited. But then before the show started I learned that he would be preforming alone, without his band and thought about leaving figuring that he couldn't possibly entertain. I was wrong. Of all the concerts I have been to over the course of my 65 yrs, this one with just him showing what an absolute talent he was, was the very best. Shortly after I was up late watching Tv and CNN came on with the announcement that he had died in a plane crash. I cried. I cried for his family and I cried that we lost someone who had his own struggles but yet was in so many ways just a pure sole wanting what was best for all. I miss his music to this day.

      I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes you just have no other choice except letting go. A friend of mine lost her son this February. His death was an indirect consequence of mental illness. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 16 and institutionalized. When he turned 18, he was transferred into a half-house. A few years later, he was allowed to move into a studio apartment of his own, but he was placed under legal guardianship. Then, one day in late February, a farmer found him dead on a pile of pallets next to a heap of manure. He was wearing nothing but pajamas and one slipper. According to the autopsy, he died from hypothermia. He must have walked at least 200 miles that night, because that was the distance between his place and the farm. It turned out that he hadn't obtained o refill for his medication since October last year. Both he and his mother wanted him to recover instead of dying, but fate does not ask for consent. At least, in death, he's free from his misery.

My daughter was raised on his music, though it seems none of the love found its way into her heart or life. I treasure the times we sang so many of his songs while we drove many miles together. This song is really how i feel about my wife and the love we share. It's love that's kept us happily together for two decades now and we hope many more. Peace and love to all of you.

    A truly beautiful song. John's music brought my wife and I together, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this year. We managed to see him in concert 5 times, the last was in our home town and we took our three young sons (10, 8 and 5). Met him at the stage door afterwards and he made a fuss of the boys being out so late. I still have a personal letter from him which we treasure.

    Wow, even sung live this blows me away. When he says "from the bottom of my heart" and then sings the song. What an amazing personality he had, a truly beautiful soul. I love this song all the more, every time I hear it, thank you John, from the bottom of my heart 💘

    When John Denver died so did a gentler world, well, as far as music goes...The simple genre of folk music. Still miss seeing John Denver's Arbor Day and caring for the environment commercials, like him singing, "Plant a Tree." in the 70s and early 80s.

    John and his voice were definitely sent to us by God, for I have never heard such an artist and entertainer like him. His songs were so wholesome and uplifting. But this song "Perhaps Love" says it all about the man John Denver and what he was. A memory of Love. Rest in Peace John Denver for the purpose God gave you here on earth was fulfilled. To sing and remind all of us of what God gave us in the very beginning, Love.

    John Denver wrote the soundtrack to my life; I wept when he was killed in that airplane smash; Loosing my own son at a sweet tender age, and listening back to this, and hearing his words, takes me to a time and place, for me when life was still wonderous; Thank-you John for the magic, you poured into our hearts; life was magical, when you were with us; but, still your legacy lives on. and those who lived your experience, know the true joy and love, you shared with us; we were blessed!

      It was in the early 70's that I first heard this man and his music. As a New Zealander it was quite strange for me, so many of my friends mocked this choice of music, but in my heart it expressed what I felt , what I tried to express , to explain me.
      50 years later, I have never found a better way to express myself.
      I don't sing much anymore , not that is no longer important - just that nobody cares anymore -

    I'm not exception, like most, I have an opinion and my opinion is I just listened to one of the greatest songs every written, and performed. Not just the words, but the tune, them melody and all those other song technicalities. And John Denver is the one who sings it best. No apparent effort, it flows from his mouth right to your brain. I thank him for his lasting gift to the world.
