"Sweet Surrender" is the title of a popular song by the American singer-songwriter John Denver. It was originally recorded for his 1974 album "Back Home Again", but was chosen as the lead single from the concert album "An Evening with John Denver" [ [http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:dvfrxzt5ldje allmusic.com] ] . "Sweet Surrender" reached #13 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart in February of 1975, remaining in the Top 40 for eight weeks. It also rose to #1 on the adult contemporary chart, Denver's fourth song to reach the top on this survey (following "Sunshine on My Shoulders", "Annie's Song" and "Back Home Again"). [Whitburn, Joel (1996). "The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits", 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)] Following a theme common to many of Denver's songs, the lyrics to "Sweet Surrender" deal with a journey of self-exploration tied to themes of nature and environment.
