Annies Song, written and sung by John Denver, was inspired by his then-wife, Annie Martell Denver, following a temporary dissolution of their marriage. While on a ski lift, Denver was moved by the beauty of the landscape, which reflected his emotional state about their relationship, leading him to compose the song in just ten minutes.
