I'm flying a jet plane. When I' ll be back, I don't know. Oh, babe, I hate to write: Texts and music by John Denver Testo e musica di John Denver. Guess you need to know a little about John Denver's story.

Johnny Denver leaves a plane, but agrees to come back with a ring.

Music Friday welcomes you when we present throwaway tracks with jewellery, gems or noble metal in the titles or lyrics." Today, in the 1970s, the iconic John Denver is wearing his hearts on his sleeves in the classic Leaving on a Jet Plane album. "It' s in this tune about the heartache of being far away from the one you like to be that the artist is going on an extensive trip, but before going to the plane, he wants to reassure his friend that he is fully dedicated to her.

Denver awakens his friend at dusk with an eager cab rider awaiting him by the kerb. Everywhere I go, I will think of you / Every hymn I chant, I will chant for you / When I come back, I will take your ring with me. "This is a very peculiar and unique tune for me," Denver said to the BBC.

"For me, it doesn't invoke the Boeing 707 or 747 as much as the easy leaving scene. Bagged up and at the front gate, cab going up early in the day, the noise of a car behind a shutting gate and the thought of leaving someone you're very interested in.

" Denver and his wife, the son of a U.S. Army Air Forces pilots, often relocated, and it was hard for the introvert little kid to find mates. In 1966, during a stay at Washington International Airfield, the agony of being on the move led a 24-year-old Denver to "Babe, I Have to Go " (later named "Leaving on a Jet Plane").

It was first published on Denver's John Denver Sings recording session, but only became a big success in 1969 when its maker Milt Okun presented the songs Peter, Paul and Mary. The author of the highly acclaimed "jetliner takeoff", Denver saw his solos change to fast gear.

Denver became one of the most loved bands of the 1970' s with tunes like "Take Me Home Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky Mountain High", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" and "Sunshine on My Shoulders". Henry John Deutschedorf, Jr., née in 1943 in Roswell, N.M., lived most of his adulthood in his much-loved Colorado constituency.

Actually, he took the name "Denver" in honour of Colorado - and because the name Deutschedorf would probably not suit many tents. In the course of his professional life, Denver produced about 300 tracks and more than 33 million albums world-wide. Unfortunately, his carreer was interrupted when his two-seater plane went down near Monterey Bay, California.

Have a look at the 1977 Denver live movie entitled "Leaving on a Jet Plane". Lyrics are below, if you want to join the singing..... "Penned and staged by John Denver."
