annie's song, (singer: john denver)

I love this song so much!!!

... I hope you enjoy it as much as me?!

I guess, it's about where we decide to 'lie down' in and after Life and endeavour to rebuild our 'faith' in this world?!

...Where (sometimes) we don't actually note the natural beauty that we were brought-up in and which surrounds us?!

Which (unfortunately!) can be instantly taken away from us  - like our dreams and hopes for the 'future' etc.

So, retrace some of your 'best times' in nature and you might find what actually really mattered to you?!

...It's a beautiful song and video  -  enjoy!!!


=======================


John Denver wrote "Annie's Song" in 1974, while on a ski lift on Bell Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.

He had just skied down a difficult run called "Elevator Shaft".

He was so exhilarated by the previous run that he was inspired to compose "Annie's Song" riding back up the lift.

And, he was soooooooo-excited about the song that he raced home and immediately set it to music.

He dedicated the song to his wife Anne.

John Denver was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s.

He was an avid pilot, and very-unfortunately died whilst flying his personal aircraft at the early-age of 53.
