John Denver live in Aspen - Boy from the Country (1980)

In this video, John Denver was singing "Boy from the Country" in 1980 with the Aspen Festival Orchestra conducted by Lee Holdridge for the Aspen Music Festival.

The scenes are taken from the TV Special "Music And The Mountains" and the audio is taken from an old radio broadcast, but they are actually from the same concert: Aspen, Colorado, 19th August 1980.

Because he called the forest brother
Because he called the earth his mother
They drove him out into the rain
Some people even said the boy from the country was insane

Because he spoke with fish in the creek
He tried to tell us that the animals could speak
Who knows, perhaps they do, I know they do
How do you know they don't
Just because they've never spoken to you

Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
Boy from the country, he loves the sun

He tried to tell us that we should love the land
We turned our heads and laughed
And we did not understand
Sometimes i think that the boy from the country
Is the only one who sees
Because the boy from the country
Doesn't wanna see the forest for the trees

Boy from the country, he left his home when he was young
Boy from the country, he loves the sun
