John Denver - Annie's Song
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
Come let me love you, let me give my life to you, let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms, let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you. Come let me love you, come love me again.
You fill up my senses like a night in the forest, like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain, like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my senses, come fill me again.
I've heard this song, EVERY TIME I've gone to Borders Books. Had the song on the brain for a few days now, and here someone posts it. What are the odds?
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.
I always liked John Denver. My best friend back in the early 1970s hated him. Said he seemed gay. We used to fight over playing the 8-track when we were driving around.
I had just discoverd down hill skiing when Rocky Mountain High came out and I used to blast it every weekend driving up to the runs in Colorado and Wyoming.
Maybe a little geeky, but a great vocalist. Peaceful joyous music with a lot of heart. If you listen to the lyrics of leaving on a jet plane (it's linked to this video) he gives a short intro to that song and does a live performance of it on a 70's tv show. his comments are spooky, in retrospect- given how he died.
pretty song. this has been John Denver weekend on 4um. IndieTX posted a moving tribute song to him, and there was discussion of the Starland Vocal Band, who were closely associated with him. Members of the SVB wrote "Country Roads" and "I Guess He'd Rather Be In Colorado", and they toured with him in a previous band, Fat City. interesting. John Denver was a pretty cool guy.
I bought the greatest hits collection a couple of months ago. I've been listening to Think I'd Rather be a Cowboy when I am back in the hills. Also the "Gee its great to be back home again" song. Reminds me of a snow packed highway on a really cold winter day.
Here is lake Isabella up behind Ward. Everytime I go up there it reminds me of the John Denver stuff. The picture was taken last week. There is still a little snow from last year, but it just got dusted with this year's snow last week.
