I wanted to sing a John Denver's song and wanted for it to be ready by Oct 12th: exactely 20 years since his death. I've choosen this song 'cause I love the lyrics and I think they carry a great message. We should learn from children 'cause children are so pure and wonderful, just like flowers in the wind. Keith, who is a JD's fan, plays bass, drums, slide guitar and keyboards. Mark Taylor plays the arpeggiate guitar and the solo. I meant to do a simple video, and I did. Most of the pics in here are my personal. The places you see are from Garda Lake here in Italy. We all miss John Denver and his great songs, so, this wants to be my personal tribute in the day of his misterious death.
JOHN DENVER, December 31, 1943 - October 12, 1997.

Rhymes and Reasons is a song written by country/folk rock artist and singer/songwriter activist John Denver and was the title song for his first album Rhymes and Reasons released in 1969....... It is a song about children and he performed it at the Music For UNICEF Concert in 1979,....... he donated the proceeds to UNICEF........."they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today "

Rhymes and Reasons

Though you speak to me of sadness and the coming of the winter,
The fear that is within you now that seems to never end,
and the dreams that have escaped you and the hopes that you've forgotten,
and you tell me that you need me now and you want to be my friend,
and you wonder where we're going, where's the rhyme and where's the reason?
And it's you who cannot accept: it is here we must begin to seek the wisdom of the children
and the graceful way of flowers in the wind.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
their laughter and their loveliness could clear a cloudy day.
Like the music of the mountain and the colors of the rainbow,
they're a promise of the future and a blessing for today.
Though the cities start to crumble and the towers fall around us,
the sun is slowly fading and it's colder than the sea.
It is written: From the desert to the mountains they shall lead us,
by the hand and by the heart, they will comfort you and me.
In their innocence and trusting they will teach us to be free.
For the children and the flowers are my sisters and my brothers,
their laughter and their loveliness would clear a cloudy day.
And the song that I am singing is a prayer to non-believers,
come and stand beside us we can find a better way.

The older I get, the more I appreciate John Denver. You have done great work with this song! In some ways, you sing better than him. Take a bow, Michela!
