Aye, Calypso, the place's you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well

    Constantly. I play his songs over and over again. He put so much love and joy in hs songs and the way he sang them. He had a wonderful voice and such a loving way of presenting them. He died so tragically and so long before his time. He is one of America's and the world's great treasures. I miss him still.

    John Denver will always hold a special place in my heart. When I was a child (in fourth grade, to be specific), my class sent him a list of questions. The man actually took the time to send us a video recording of himself answering the questions. Bear in mind, this was pre-internet, so I mean he recorded a VHS and sent it to our school for us. Great man.

    Every time I see this song, I am amazed at the upper register that John Denver had. Not only that he could hit those notes at his age, but that he hit them pitch-perfect, and kept them completely in-tune. What a truly gifted performer and musician. The world was a better place for him being in it, and is a little less bright and free in his absence...

    My absolute favorite of John's songs. I'm a born sailor. The opening line, the entire song just speaks to me. "To sail on a dream, on a crystal clear ocean, to ride on the crest of a wild raging storm". I've done that and when he sings that line it brings so much back to me. My boat's have always been named "Windsong" after one of John's albums. In fact, the very first boat, I took the album cover to the painter so that the name, when painted, could look on the sides of the boat like it did on the album cover. I'm without a boat now but I have my eye on one and 40 years later I still have that 33 1/3 album cover and that name will be painted on the side of the boat the same way, with one difference. This last boat will be named "Windsong, Forever".

    Where on earth did the music go? There was so much talent from the 50's through the early 80's, it's so very hard to pick a top list in every genre. Now, it's hard to find anything worth listening to that can be called good, let alone great. I wonder how many more great songs this man would have written if he had not left us so soon.

    I just got a rescue cat named Calypso and it reminded me of this song, so I listened to it again. I find old songs revisited are either really bad or really good. This is just amazing. Timeless classic. In the past, as a fun question I've asked people "what's the most uncool song ever that you actually love?". I'm 49 and John Denver has never been considered cool in Australia to people my age (teenager about 20 years past his prime). My answer has always been Calypso. I've just always absolutely loved it! Tbh, I don't find it that meaningful personally (Cousteau's boat), but the lyrics "I sing to your spirit" and the yodelling are just so irresistibly uplifting I can't help but just feel my heart glow! So now I have 2 Calypso's I love 😊
