Thread Name: Favourite John Denver songs
Subject: RE: Favourite John Denver songs
I've long admired his openness with his audience with regards to his marriage. In the good days he'd sing "Annie's Song" and "Annie's Other Song," then the troubles were reflected in "Goodbye Again," then the serious problems showed up in "I'm Sorry" and the attempted reconciliation in "Shanghai Breezes." Towards the end we heard the hurt in "Seasons of the Heart" and finally loss in
"The Game Is Over." I think I love the last one best, not only for the artistry in the lyrics but for the courage it took to let the world see his pain.
