It is 2023, and it has been a while since hearing this song. I started to happily sing along, but it is very difficult to sing when the tears are flowing and the throat chokes up because your heart is so full of the wonder and beauty of the images on the screen and the beauty of the words of the song. This video needs to be put into the hall of fame. I was always mesmerized by the Jacques Cousteau TV specials, and always loved hearing and singing along with John Denver. This video brings together two people who were brilliant at what they did, and loved and cared about nature and life.

John Denver was a true lover of nature. He went to the Whitehouse at least twice asking to campaign to preserve more than 100 million acres of wild public land in Alaska. And asking to be careful with oil pipelines

Our world is so much emptier for the two of them being gone. We need a new John Denver, a new Jacques Cousteau, a new Carl Sagan to enlighten and inspire the youth of the world.

I remember the year that Calypso was released John was on his annual tour. He came to the Scope in Norfolk, VA. He has a back screen projector showing this video as he sung for us. 11,000 people became completely silent and watched and listened. When it was over the place literally erupted into a standing ovation and lots of praises being sent to John and Jacque. Now almost 50 years later I sit and watch and listen and the same feelings came flooding back. RIP John and Jacque for your spirit and caring.

My father deeply loved and respected the ocean that we were blessed to live by. He was an avid scuba diver and was like a kid glued to the tv set when the Jacques Cousteau show would come on (circa, late 1960s), whereas he ordinarily would have no use for 'the box.' We watched alongside him because the show was pleasant, informative and Mr. Cousteau had an inspiring method of imparting his own love of the ocean and all that is within it. Good memories!

The words "free as a wind-swell, joyful and loving in letting it be", is well suited to the acrobatic dolphin jumping and twisting in mid air at 2:03. Proof that wild animals also feel joy and elation. What a song! What a singer/songwriter! There will never be another John Denver.

While in the Navy and sailing in the Pacific Ocean, a whale surfaced about 100 feet from my ship. It swam next to us for about 10 minutes and the entire crew got a good look at it. I don't know what kind of whale it was but it was very big and had barnacles on it. It was looking at us and just swimming along. Then it sounded and disappeared beneath the waves. All of us were absolutely awestruck by this magnificent creature. To this day it remains the most incredible thing I have ever seen. Sailing on the surface it is easy to forget what life lies below.

So inspiring and uplifting. I remember watching every episode of Jaques Cousteau amd calypso when I was a boy. It was great and for some reason have just watched again calypso being rebuilt and some episodes. Curiously I went on to dive and became a recreational instructor. I worked in the Caribbean as a dive guide. I also went on to become a singer songwriter and played country roads in my sets. John Denver was a huge inspiration. I wish I could be part of this somehow 😢. This song is incredible, it all sad he died as he did. I’m not a very successful singer songwriter but I did work at it and got commissioned to write a small piece for radio station and could hardly believe I did live dream if only for a very short time. The British government actually are blocking me from both activities and my struggles go on. Peace to both these amazing people and calypso 🙂🙏👋🔥🔥

Jacques Cousteau did so much to learn about the ocean it makes me want to cry that he did not get to live his dream😢

I watch this and tears come to my eyes at the sheer beauty of the natural world around us. Sadness come to because we are destroying it and once it's gone so are we.

There are very few things one can witness that match the grandeur of a breaching whale.

We did a whale watch last summer...some children stood at the stern singing sounds like "eee ya eeeyooo"! The baby whales lined up in a row of 3, and followed the boat in synchronized leaps...until the children stopped...I'll never forget it!!! We on Earth, are ONE!!!

Thank you so much for this fabulous videography to accompany the song!

My Childhood Flushed Before Me..as I remembered watching TV about All the Sea life! Fascinating underwater world to a Child! Me

A great song and two great men: a singer and a scientist,,,,we love you forever!!!!

I heard this song the other day in a store and felt like I was going to cry. My sister lived in Denver, and passed away in 2022. She often talked about the legend John is out there. I really miss her with all my ❤ 😢
