Name: Follow Me-John Denver (Cover) by Len Bennati FM Folk
Duration: 3 min 1 s
Description: "Prior to performing this song on The Tonight Show in 1974, Denver said he wrote it for his wife Annie whom he had to leave behind when he was touring early on in his career because he couldn't afford to take her with him. Doubtless Annie appreciated the sentiment, but she didn't appreciate the other women who kept him company when he was away from home; she divorced him in 1982."

Len’s take on this classic feels heartfelt and honest. There’s a softness in the way he delivers it, almost like he’s telling you the story for the first time. Knowing the background about John and Annie gives the song a bittersweet edge, and Len really leans into that feeling without overdoing it. Just a beautiful, genuine version that hits in all the right places.

Through these eyes I have seen 62 years of joy and misery
Found my true love lost many loved ones to time
If I had my life again I wonder what could possibly be changed
Though I do believe in whats meant to be quite often will be
This paths been laid for me

Inside out upside down back to front turned around
Its never straight forward its designed that way
From the darkest of nights can follow the brightest of days
Its the ying and the yang good and the bad
A toss of a coin which side shall it land
of course I know its the same for everyone

Through these same old weary eyes laughter lines that cannot be disguised
I spend my spare days writing songs instead of a diary
This paths been laid for me

 Inside out upside down back to front turned around
Its never straight forward its designed that way
From the darkest of nights can follow the brightest of days
Its the yin and the yan good and the bad
A toss of a coin which side shall it land
of course I know its the same for everyone

Through these eyes I have seen 62 years of joy and misery
Found my true love lost many loved ones to time
Found my true love lost many loved ones to time

лабиринты

Some say the sky is blue
cause it shines up down from below
but the clouds don't care.
They'd just as soon go anywhere
and I'd like to be like that, too.
I'd like to be like that, too.

She go down, up the bend
through the lowland.
She go through, over the tree
bent on down, one knee
with headlamps passing.
She keep on walking
til she finds me.

She talked a bum into making 
a fireplace, in the alley
over at the general store.

She would not run.
She kept on laughing
as the firetruck did roar
as all them firetrucks did roar.

Once, I saw her
looking down a keyhole
up the floor, some balcony hotel.
Hey, aren't those sunny views
and grassy scenes just sweet!
On the other side of the door.
Way up on the other side of the door.

“What makes a song is the singer, while what makes a singer is their dedication to music and their inner feelings.”   Dimash Qudaibergen

I have enjoyed music for as long as I can remember and cannot remember a day of not either singing or listening to music. I am self-taught when it comes to playing guitar but what I most enjoy is singing which I have been doing since around age 18. Now retired singing and playing the guitar is now just a hobby and something I do to help pass the time. Have always  loved the sound of a Martin guitar. Currently been playing a Road Series DR S2 for about 6 years. Thanks for listening. I also enjoy discovering the sounds of other talented musicians and singers here on SoundCloud.
