"Like a Storm in the Desert"

John Denver was my dad's favorite singer, so I practically grew up listening to his music. And while his catalog includes so many great songs ("Rhymes and Reasons" and "Perhaps Love" are some of my personal favorites), I've always absolutely loved "Annie's Song." It's a perfect combination of simple but evocative lyrics and a lovely, delicate melody that soars dramatically at points.
It's hard to think it could get better than the original, but sung in Vienna Teng's gorgeous voice, it becomes nearly transcendent.
πThat last chorus.π
I am in love.
