John Denver - The Eagle And The Hawk free for downloading

Like no other singer/song writer, John Denver could take you there, you know? Like you're there, seeing it. Been a fan for 45 years. Won't stop. Miss him terribly.

I think this song resembles very closely Johnny Denver's life: intense, clear, direct, joyful, profound, concrete and short. I thank his music, his writings, his songs.

after 40+ years this song still gives me goosebumps

"All that we can be and not what we are."

When I first heard this song it was during one of the worst times of my life.  This song is one of those treasures that you find when you need it the most.  My best wishes to all I met in one of the worst of places for a teenager.  I remember all of you.

This song should be the anthem of wilderness and freedom.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah I am the Eagle I live in high country in rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers but time is still turning they soon will be dry and all goes to see me and all who believe me share in the freedom I feel when I fly Come Dance with the west wind and touch all the mountain tops sail over the Canyons and up to the stars and reach for the Heavens and hope for the future and all that we can be and not what we are.

This would be in my all time top ten favorites. THIS made be buy someone's music.  For the first time ever, I wanted something someone had sang or played. And it was JOHN!.  THIS SONG made me feel that way.  There's just nothing like this anymore.   Thank you John. You were one of the people who made music so special to me, and made me want to play it.  (btw, this song was not long enough!!!!  see ya soon bro)

I am moved by this song. How beautiful it is!

My all time favorite John Denver song! I miss him - he was one of the good guys.

John Denver was incredible the range of his voice was awesome and his songs are timeless

I remember the first time I heard it.  I got chills.  I'm getting chills again; it is...beauty, power, freedom.  And his voice and the feeling in it....magnificent.

My goodness this song soars. What a great voice John had to sing this on such a high note. Awesome!

"and reach for the heavens, and hope for the future, and all that we CAN be....NOT what we are......

As a child, my dad would listen to J.D. in his El Camino via 8 track. I grew up listening to John and I still enjoy his music to this day. In my humble opinion, he's one of the greatest American folk singers of all time.

and the music shall carry us and our spirits higher, forever... on the wings of eagles and hawks...

it boggles my mind how some people can actually give this masterpiece a thumbs down.I'm so grateful I don't live in their world.

One of the most beautiful songs EVER written. It inspired me to write and play and sing songs for my entire life. Every time I play, I hope to get the feeling that this song gives me.  Thank you Mom for introducing me to music; it was the greatest gift you could have ever given me.

Timeless. John Denver will be remembered forever as one of the best lyricists of all time.
