John Denver



I've been listening to my John Denver CD's lately because I always feel good when I listen to them. I love John Denver so much because he saved my life and I never even got the chance to thank him for it. I guess some people would think I'm crazy for even saying that. How can someone you've never met, save your life? John Denver's music has been like a drug to me and it's helped me so much. There are certain songs of his that make me feel like John was singing personally to me, even though I know he wasn't. My favorite John Denver song is Looking For Space. It's a song about finding out who you are, but enjoying life while you're doing it. Sometimes you are deep in despair and other times you can fly as high as an eagle. I love that song and the words really helped me when I needed it the most. Another song of John's that I really love is Fly Away because that's how I feel all the time. I'm lonely, but I choose it.
I can never properly put into words how I feel about John. I just know that I wished I could have met him and thanked him for all he did for me. His beautiful songs that helped me and help me still today. I'll have them forever and they are truly his autograph. Who needs his signature, when I can listen to his music and he'll be there and it's like he's still alive or a part of him is. The best part. I think John put the best part of himself into his music and songs and he shared that part of himself with the world. That's a very rare thing. His love for the Earth, family and living are all expressed in his beautiful and timeless songs.
I love John Denver for what he personally has done for me and I always will.
