John Denver – The Wandering Soul lyrics

In this magic hour of softening light The moments in between the day and the night The instant when all shadows disappear The distance in between the love and the fear

There's a longing deep within the wandering soul It's like the half that understands it once was whole Like the two who only dream of being one Like the moon whose only light is in the sun

There's a danger in forever looking outside You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied And you forget the sound of your own name And thus begins the suffering and the pain

I wanted an answer, I wanted a way I wanted to know just what to do and what to say I wanted a reason, I want(ed) to know why Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside my heart Deep in my soul Within each part And in the whole

There's a promise in the journeys of the mind You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find And that someday you'll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star

That's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly Like the river that can't help but meet the sea

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn In the space between the silence and the song Suddenly the mystery is clear That love is only letting go of fear

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say And love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside your heart Deep in your soul Within each part And in the whole

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say Love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

John Denver – The Wandering Soul

About the song.

John Denver’s The Wandering Soul . Now that’s a song that deserves a deep dive. Denver, of course, was a titan of folk music in the latter half of the 20th century. His booming baritone, his folksy charm, and his odes to nature and simple living made him a household name. But The Wandering Soul is a bit of a hidden gem in his vast catalog.

---> Scroll down for the VIDEO

Unlike the bouncy optimism of “Take Me Home, Country Roads” or the environmental anthems like “Rocky Mountain High,” The Wandering Soul delves into a more introspective and philosophical space. It wasn’t officially released during Denver’s lifetime, existing primarily in recordings from the early 1990s, particularly at the Windstar Symposiums – these were events that focused on environmental and social issues, a cause Denver was deeply passionate about.

The song itself is a beautiful tapestry of piano and gentle guitar, a stark contrast to the often-upbeat instrumentation Denver was known for. This allows his voice to take center stage, delivering lyrics that explore the human condition with a quiet intensity. The Wandering Soul speaks to the restlessness that can reside within us all, a yearning for something more, a questioning of where we belong in this vast world.

It’s important to note that the song also offers a glimmer of hope. Denver sings about the “promise in the journals of the mind,” the potential for finding miracles and remembering the “seed within, a bright and shining star.” Love is presented as the spark that can ignite this inner flame, a powerful message that resonates throughout Denver’s work.

The Wandering Soul stands as a fascinating departure from Denver’s usual style. It’s a song that reflects a deeper layer of the artist, one that grapples with existential questions while still clinging to the possibility of joy and connection. It’s a song for those quiet moments of introspection, a reminder that the journey of self-discovery is a universal human experience.

So, as you listen to The Wandering Soul , let yourself be drawn into the introspective world Denver creates. Consider the questions it raises about our place in the universe, the yearning for purpose, and the potential for love to illuminate the path forward. It’s a song that lingers long after the last note fades, a testament to the enduring power of John Denver’s music.

In this magic hour of softening light The moments in between the day and the night The instant when all shadows disappear The distance in between the love and the fear

There’s a longing deep within the wandering soul It’s like the half that understands it once was whole Like the two who only dream of being one Like the moon whose only light is in the sun

There’s a danger in forever looking outside You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied And you forget the sound of your own name And thus begins the suffering and the pain

I wanted an answer, I wanted a way I wanted to know just what to do and what to say I wanted a reason, I want(ed) to know why Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside my heart Deep in my soul Within each part And in the whole

There’s a promise in the journeys of the mind You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find And that someday you’ll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star

That’s like the flame that lives within a hungering heart That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly Like the river that can’t help but meet the sea

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn In the space between the silence and the song Suddenly the mystery is clear That love is only letting go of fear

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say And love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside your heart Deep in your soul Within each part And in the whole

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say Love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

John Denver’s Unrecorded Masterpiece Resurfaces With Profound Message For Humanity

By 1888 PressRelease 1888PressRelease – Three years before dying in a plane crash off the California coast, legendary singer/songwriter John Denver wrote what might have been his greatest musical work, "The Wandering Soul – Love is the Answer." Denver did not record the tune but it has now been released by singer/songwriter Luanne Hunt, who says it contains a powerful message that is timely, thought-provoking and awe-inspiring. Los Angeles, CA — Legendary singer/songwriter John Denver had plenty of thought-provoking things to say through his timeless tunes, such as "Perhaps Love," "Annie’s Song" and "Sunshine On My Shoulders." But Denver’s most profound message seems to have come through a song he never recorded called "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)." It is said to be one of the last he wrote before his untimely death in a plane crash in 1997. Desiring to share Denver’s masterpiece about the true meaning of our existence, acclaimed Indie folk singer/songwriter Luanne Hunt has recorded and released "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)" on the Star Creek Entertainment label. The song takes listeners on a spiritual journey leading to the revelation that genuine peace and happiness can only be found within. "I am deeply moved by ‘The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer),’" said Matthew Flickstein, Telly Award-winning documentary filmmaker of "With One Voice." "The lyrics are exquisite and Luanne’s voice and presence profoundly touch my heart. I can see how her voice and music can open people’s eyes to the Divine and lovingly transform their hearts." Hunt’s own musical journey has been one of profound personal, creative and spiritual transformation. By focusing on her artistic vision, she found the strength to overcome deep emotional wounds and follow her authentic path as a singer/songwriter. Over the years, Hunt has built an impressive list of accomplishments and a worldwide fan base with her contemporary folk songs. Her 2007 CD "Breaking Through" produced two hit singles on U.S. and European Charts. The enchanting "Solace In The Wind" reached No. 1 on the European Country Music Association’s chart (Belgium) in July 2010. The song also landed on the 2009 Grammy ballot in two categories: Best Country Song and Best Female Country Performance. In December 2011, Hunt’s holiday tune "Christmas Without You" went to No. 1 on the European Country Music Association charts in France, Denmark and Austria. It also was the second most played song in Europe during that month. "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)" will be utilized to raise funds for Forest Way Productions, a 501c3 charity dedicated to providing retreat opportunities conducive to spiritual growth. It also promotes creative projects designed to support a unified vision of spirituality in the world. "The first time I heard ‘The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer),’ I broke down and cried for a very long time," said Hunt, who resides in Southern California. "I knew I had to record it and felt certain it was meant for something much greater than I could even fathom. "I believe John (Denver) would be very pleased at how it is going to be used to further the mission of Forest Way Productions and also promote peace and unity among mankind. Universal harmony seemed to be what he was all about." "The Wandering Soul (Love is the Answer)" can be purchased and downloaded at iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and www.luannehunt.com http://www.ljgamboneagency.com

THE WANDERING SOUL (JOHN DENVER) A BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT WAS NEVER RELEASED

BLOG POST THE WANDERING SOUL

As I sit with my thoughts And a heart’s lifetime longing I remember the pain Of the questions The longing of the soul The fear that life somehow Could not go on And in the quiet time And stillness When I allow my truth To touch Spirit I am transformed In this moment I am blessed with the truth That love is everything.

So much love! I saw a John Denver tribute band recently. It was a wonderful concert and it brought back such heart felt memories of a beautiful soul who created in the energy of Spirit and left this earth way too soon!

If you ever get the chance to see: “TAKE ME HOME – THE MUSIC OF JOHN DENVER STARRING JIM CURRY,” I wholeheartedly recommend it. CLICK HERE to go to their website and view their concert dates. You will be transported back to a time when this magnificent musician/lyricist performed his heart-felt messages in concert.

The band performed a song that I had never heard before. The singer, Jim Curry was accompanied only by a track of a piano solo by Peter Kater. This song, THE WANDERING SOUL, was first performed at a concert in Milwaukee, WI on 4/10/92, and it was never released before John’s death in 1997.

Here is a YouTube video where John performed the song live at the Windstar Symposium, 1995. It is one of the only recordings of this beautiful song. Enjoy!

The words touched my soul so deeply, as tears rolled down my cheeks. They speak to what we so desperately need in this world right now.

John Denver was an incredible talent who cared deeply about life. Here are the lyrics to the song which when read without music, is a masterpiece poem that every person needs to hear.

THE WANDERING SOUL

In this magic hour of softening light The moments in between the day and the night The instant when all shadows disappear The distance in between the love and the fear

There’s a longing deep within the wandering soul It’s like the half that understands it once was whole Like the two who only dream of being one Like the moon whose only light is in the sun

There’s a danger in forever looking outside You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied And you forget the sound of your own name And thus begins the suffering and the pain

I wanted an answer, I wanted a way I wanted to know just what to do and what to say I wanted a reason, I want(ed) to know why Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside my heart Deep in my soul Within each part And in the whole

There’s a promise in the journeys of the mind You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find And that someday you’ll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star

That’s like the flame that lives within a hungering heart That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly Like the river that can’t help but meet the sea

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn In the space between the silence and the song Suddenly the mystery is clear That love is only letting go of fear

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say And love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Inside your heart Deep in your soul Within each part And in the whole

Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say Love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

John Denver playing his guitar in his beloved mountains

I send you all love and peace and hope these words touched your soul just like they touched mine. We have the power to change the world!

Blessitude!

Love is EVERYTHING! Thanks, Lorrie. I’d not heard this before.

Hi John 🙂 I cry every time I listen to it! My pleasure, John. It needs to be heard. Hope all is well with you and yours <3

This is such a sweet reminder that we all go through the same thoughts, feelings, and reflections.

Hi Kristen…it is, isn’t it? Glad you could read this one…I found it so powerful. Hope things are going well for you! <3

Beautiful song and lyrics! Thanks for introducing me Lorrie. 🙏

My pleasure, Brad. I had never heard it before and when Jim Curry sang it…I was all in!!! Glad you enjoyed it!

How absolutely beautiful Lorrie. I’ve just listened to this with my husband, having woken up just a short while ago, what a special way to start the day. I always loved John Denver’s music but I’ve never heard this one and, wow, does it really speak to my soul. Goosebumps and yes, a few tears too. Love is indeed the answer. Sending you oodles of it my friend. ❤️❤️ xx

Oh, Miriam! So happy you could start your day with this message of love!! John Denver was always a favorite of mine. When I saw the tribute band I was torn, as they sometimes don’t hit the mark. But this man even looked like him and for a few moments of the night I was transported back in time. When he sang this song…the line “There’s a longing deep within the wandering soul, It’s like the half that understood it once was whole.” AH!!!!! My heart perked right up and I just couldn’t believe the words I was hearing. It was a sweet message for my soul. So, I knew I wanted to share it here because I don’t think many people have ever heard it. Such prolific song writing!! Hope things are going well for you, Miriam. I will be over to see what is going on in your world…and where in the world you are!! <3

Beautiful lyrics. They really touched my soul too Lorrie. So very grateful you shared, it sounds like it was a brilliant tribute to a truly gifted man who shared so much love in his lifetime. Hugs my friend. ❤️ xx

<3 Sweet Blessings, Miriam. Hope you have a wonderful week!

These are very profound words indeed Lorrie, a magic all there own. He did have an incredible voice, no doubt the gift of love that he found…so that he could write that song. Powerful. Thank you for sharing it 😀❤️🙏

Ah, Mark! I’m so happy you got to hear/read these lyrics. You were definitely someone I wanted to hear these words!! Yes…the gift of love…it truly is a gift! Hope that you are feeling better and that love touches you daily!! <3

Beautiful reflection and share, Lorrie ❣️ John Denver didn’t have as much of a following overseas, but this is lovely. Thanks you for this 💐

Hi Val…I’m happy you enjoyed this song. I think it speaks directly to my soul because I have been feeling this kind of incredible love so freely lately. I am Blessitude!! Hope that you are well <3

That was wonderful Lorrie! Thank you for sharing this beautiful song. I’ve always loved John Denver, he was so talented, and so energetic, he did so many things in his life. And yet, he was also a deep thinker, an ever searching soul, never giving up trying to find solace, peace and love. it’s so tragic that his life ended so abruptly. But so few of us accomplish as much as he did in the short time he was here. God rest his soul. I’m thankful he shared his journey with us, in these very personal words and wishes. He put into words and music what we all feel. Hope you are doing well dear friend. Much love sent your way.

Oh, Linda <3 Your words are a beautiful tribute to John. He was a magnificent human who lived life to the fullest, and in the process left us all with a treasure trove of music and lyrics that are so deep and meaningful. I was kind of surprised hear that he wasn't very well known outside of the U.S. Surely there are many who would benefit from connecting with his music now 😉 I was so happy to see you in my inbox...and thrilled that you know John's music and life. I am doing really well, and hope the same for you <3

What an amazing post Lorrie.. As you shared with us those beautiful lyrics of John Denver, Listening now to the wonderful song, I have Goosebumps

As I type John Denver just sang these words.. “There’s a promise in the journeys of the mind You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find And that someday you’ll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star “…

And” LOVE is THE ANSWER and Love is the WAY”….. I have tears, no wonder you did too Lorrie at that concert… I shall be saving this YT video… What a beautiful legacy he left us with his songs xx <3 xx <3

Sending much love dearest Lorrie to you xx <3 <3 <3 xx

Hi Sue!! Thank you! I was so guided to share this message, and I knew the people who would be touched deep into their soul…you being one of them for sure! Today, I have not been able to get the song out of my head…Love is the Answer!!!!! An earworm with a particularly powerful message…LIFE IS SO GOOD!! I always loved his music, John Denver, and was saddened by his untimely death. But his music lives on. It’s just too bad that this one was never recorded…Maybe they can do it like they just made The Beatles last song…whoever “they” are! 😉 All good things to you, Sue. Sure hope all is super in your world <3

I always loved John Denver!

I absolutely love this post, Lorrie! Thank you so much for sharing this exquisite John Denver song that I’d never heard before. I have already listened to it many times – what a gift you have given me! I was traveling last week, and your post really brightened my trip. I hope you’re well, my friend!! Sending lots of love!!

Hi Judy!! I am so happy you love it as much as I do! It just speaks to a world that I know we can create!! I can’t believe that I never heard it before…and consider it such a gift that I heard it at that concert. Then I just knew that I had to share it here on my blog…EVERYONE needs to hear this song!! I hope you had fun traveling, Judy. I miss you…have not seen you in a while. I am traveling this week…but hopefully when I get back we can connect! All good things, friend <3

Wandering Soul

This is the last song John Denver wrote before his untimely death. Though he did sing it at one event, he never had the chance to record The Wandering Soul. I believe it is one of the most beautiful, and important songs John ever wrote, and I'm honored to share it through this video. Thanks to Ed Keller and Jason Engel who shot and edited it. ~James Twyman

In this magic hour of softening light The moments in between the day and the night The instant when all shadows disappear The distance in between the love and the fear There's a longing deep within the wandering soul It's like the half that understands it once was whole Like the two who only dream of being one Like the moon whose only light is in the sun There's a danger in forever looking outside You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied And you forget the sound of your own name And thus begins the suffering and the pain I wanted an answer, I wanted a way I wanted to know just what to do and what to say I wanted a reason, I want(ed) to know why Can there never be heaven right here on Earth and peace inside Inside my heart Deep in my soul Within each part And in the whole There's a promise in the journeys of the mind You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find And that someday you'll remember who you are The seed within a bright and shining star That's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly Like the river that can't help but meet the sea In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn In the space between the silence and the song Suddenly the mystery is clear That love is only letting go of fear Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say And love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside Inside your heart Deep in your soul Within each part And in the whole Love is the answer and love is the way Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say Love is the reason, love is the why And love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside

Absolutely, Positively the most beautiful and marvelous song John Denver ever let flow through and over his golden angelic vocal chords..A message from an angel to ALL before he departed this world....God, his voice is, and always has been, and will forever be, in the choirs of angels singing songs of love and freedom..Songs of truth..Love....How sweet and beautiful the sound...Peace inside...Thank you...deep in my soul...in each part deep..within..throughout....High...Low.. right, left and all around..Love IS the Way!! To YOU, To ME, to ALL! As it is in Heaven on Earth...right NOW!! Thank you, thank you, thank you..

"A seed in a bright and shining star"...I love that! I AM NOW!... Rivers of Love flowing from deep within my heart and in the whole...over the mountains, hills, valleys, through forests and the glades....flowing to meet the sea...because there is LOVE...in every part.. "In the distance between the darkness and the dawn...between the silence and the song"....Letting go of the fear...Goodbye fear...Hello LOVE! Peace inside....Heaven is here right on earth and peace inside...

All shadows disappear...Remember We are ONE....Don't forget..

I am thankful to the two young men, Ed Keller and Jason Engel, whom I haven't had the pleasure to meet as yet, who followed the urgings of angels to record and edit this remarkable song so we all could be blessed by John Denver's golden voice and message....I'm also thankful to you, James Twyman for loving John so much, you found this treasure and have taken time to share this gem on Galactic Free Press. GFP is one of my main and favorite sites, where I spend much time learning.. I would have never seen this precious video and listen to John's song of LOVE, if the angels hadn't urged you to share this on GFP. 

ALL who take time to listen, will feel their very soul stir at the message and want to share this on their own walls everywhere, so others can love the message and share as well. Love goes on and on and on..Love is the Answer....Love is the reason the why....

Much Peace, Joy, Light and LOVE to ALL! :) <3 NOW!

Tears Of Joy~~

Love, Achara

...in loving response to your comments!

...and thank you so much for sharing! We look forward to hearing from you again (we will all have tissue at the ready! lol), and please know your Love & Light shines so deeply and resonates with ALL our readers!

Thank you Mother/Father God...I am so very thankful to be welcomed by you....GFP is one of my sources in the awakening process...There's so much to see and learn, but I love everything I read, see, and listen to ...When there is truth, it resonates deep within my spirit...I am so thankful you are here to guide us all to the truth so we may be prepared...

I am looking forward to all the changes coming forth on this planet...and in my heart.. :)

I would like to ask you about something that happened to me yesterday if it is alright... I'm a little puzzled by it...

Last night, I went to my neighbors apt...I was expecting to find only her home. From what she was sharing on FB, I was feeling she was having a hard day and thought I'd spend a little time with her...When I went over to her apt,  there were others there I had met briefly before...One person came in after I arrived...Captain C, I'll call him....He said he was from homeland security... I was a little shocked to say the least. I didn't know what to think.. We had a wonderful conversation though, and he was very helpful in answering my questions..He said he was here to help....I only stayed briefly, but when I came back to my apt., I was feeling like I had just met people in the ground crew...I might be mistaken, so I thought I'd ask you about it...I know there are brothers and sisters on this planet to assist all who want to ascend and be prepared to enter the 5D plane..my hearts desire... :) Were these people really crew members? In this day and age, it's hard to know who to trust...

Thank you for all you do and for all your encouragement...

Much Peace, Joy, Light and Love, to you and all! <3 :) NOW!

The Wandering Soul

There's a longing deep within the wandering soul. It's like the half that understands it once was whole. Like the two who only dream of being one, Like the moon whose only light is in the sun.

There's a danger in forever looking outside. You start to believe that all your prayers have been denied. And you forget the sound of your own name, And thus begins the suffering and the pain.

There's a promise in the journeys of the mind. You begin to believe that there are miracles you will find, And that someday you'll remember who you are. The seed within a bright and shining star.

It's like the flame that lives within a hungering heart That only awaits a gift of love for it to spark Into a fire that burns forever, endlessly, Like the river that can't help but meet the sea.

In this magic hour between the dark and the dawn, In the space between the silence and the song, Suddenly the mystery is clear That love is only letting go of fear.

Love is the answer, love is the way, Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say. Love is the reason, love is the why, Love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside.

Inside your heart, Deep in your soul, Within each part, And in the whole.

Love is the answer, and love is the way, Love is in knowing just what to do and what to say. Yes, love is the reason, and love is the why, Love is in heaven right here on Earth and peace inside.

(Words and music by John Denver, 1992)

Matt Stone and Trey Parker , born and raised in Denver, were obsessed as kids with Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita, a massive, labyrinthine, Disneyland-ish local landmark that opened in 1974 in Lakewood, Colorado with roving characters, live entertainment — including a cliff diving show — secret rooms and so-so food. It fell on hard times and then closed in 2020 during Covid.

So they bought it after some soul searching and hoped a speedy renovation would delight their kids and others as they had been delighted. The Denver area cheered.

Trey Parker & Matt Stone To Dish On "Disneyland Of Mexican Restaurants" At Tribeca Film Festival After '¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!' Premiere

Director Arthur Bradford ( 6 Days To Air ) follows the South Park creators on their journey as the budget swelled and the project often seemed impossible. To the bemusement of many, however, they stuck it out, refusing other work to stay focused on the renovation.

The restaurant opened a year ago to preview audiences and looks rather gorgeous. Parker wrote the script to the puppet show and to offbeat dialogue by two talking skeletons. The animatronic fortune-telling macaw isn’t quite right yet, said Stone after a screening at the Tribeca Festival where the duo, in a rare public appearance, talked with Andy Cohen.

Casa Bonita is expected to open to the general public later this year.

“Friends were like, ‘What the f–k are you guys doing?’” said Parker. “’We’re opening a Mexican restaurant. Yeah. We’ve got this Mexican restaurant.’ We were turning a lot of cool stuff down.”

¡CASA BONITA MI AMOR! is from MTV Documentary Films and will soon head to Paramount+.

The two said they’d considered expanding Casa Bonito into a chain but dropped the idea.

“We thought about other markets, but there’s sh-t to do in New York, and LA. In Denver in the 1980s when we lived there, there was nothing to do.”

Casa Bonita was such an influence on them it was featured in a South Park episode (Season Seven, episode 11). Cartman flips out when he’s not invited to Kyle’s birthday at Casa Bonita.

Asked about their favorite voices on the show, Parker said, “I have the most fun when I’m doing Cartman and [Stone] is doing Kyle or Butters.” Otherwise, Parker said, he does so many voices “that sometimes it’s just me talking to me talking to me.”

“I don’t smoke anymore, so they’re all pretty easy,” said Stone.

The doc has great footage of them at the mics recording the show.

Stone and Parker have multiple Emmys, and Tony awards and Grammys. That’s close to EGOT status, Cohen noted. Their animated romp Blame Canada was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2000 but lost out to Phil Collins’ You’ll Be In My Heart from Tarzan . “Tarzan?” Cohen said incredulously.

“We’re never going to get an Oscar,” said Stone.

“It’ll happen,” Cohen said.

    John Denver's The Wandering Soul. Now that's a song that deserves a deep dive. Denver, of course, was a titan of folk music in the latter half of the 20th century. His booming baritone, his folksy charm, and his odes to nature and simple living made him a household name. But The Wandering Soul is a bit of a hidden gem in his vast catalog.
