What does this mean to you?  |
|
 He was born in the summer of his twenty seventh year
coming home to a place he'd never been before
he left yeaterday behind him you might say he was born again
might say he found a key for ev'ry door
When he first came to they mountains his life was far away
on the road and hangin' by a song
but the strings already broken and he doesn't really care
it keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.
But the Colorado Rocky mountain high
I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky
the shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullaby.
Ok to me this means that the person is starting a new life. Thier old life has worn them down and they need to get back to very nature of themself. They have to discover that person deep within themself. What do you think?

| betterdays (161) | 4 years ago | it's about flying into the side of a mountain because you are tired of singing this song every single night on stage | |
|
|
| sweetdesign (2193) | 4 years ago | Ok I see what you are referring to but he wrote this song long before he took his lightweight plane into the mountain side. I hate lightweight planes they are dangerous. | |

| betterdays (161) | 4 years ago | well I was kidding. Actually one of his songs was the song my wife and I played at our wedding for our first dance...
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
I promise I will stay right here beside you
Today our lives were joined, became entwined
I wish that you could know how much I love you
Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do
Are there meanings that you've never seen before
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true
And it's like I've never, ever loved before
(Chorus)
Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone
Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be
And I swear to you our time has just begun | |

| sweetdesign (2193) | 4 years ago | I just feel that a great songwriter and singer was taken down way too early in life. I remember being a small child and thinking John Denver was the greatest man on earth (I used to live for the days when he was a guest on the Muppet Show ok now I am showing how old I am oh well).
Didn't mean to take offence to your response just a little protective of his memory. | |
|
|
| betterdays (161) | 4 years ago | and im just way too sarcastic and jaded for my own good. I loved his songs too | |

| 2. craftwave (806) | 4 years ago |  My husband I both love his songs. I believe this song refers to finding another place to live that feels like home after some disaster takes place. In this case it is the mountains.

| sweetdesign (2193) | 4 years ago | Great answer! Each answer is as individual as each person who writes it. Music speaks to us in many different ways. I love John Denver's music too. Have a great day! | |

3.  Artsimba (1113) | 3 years ago |  I think this was written to be only understood by the writer, however my view about this is that it seems the writer has started a new life because he lost his memory of his childhood up until he was 26 or 27. By elaborating on this but I'm just kind of making it up as I go along. When he came to Colorado where the mountains, are he began life anew because he didn't remember life before this. Because life is changing so fast and he is not feeling pain from his past (raining fire in the sky and the starlight is softer than a lullaby) he is content with his life right now and not concerned about what he doesn't remember. Well, anyway I never really saw the words written out and never gave a thought to what it may have meant, and I've heard and liked this song for years, so thanks for sharing your ideas and allowing me to share mine.
