"Rocky Mountain High"
From his album "Rocky Mountain High"
This is John's great song.
It's one of my favorite songs of John's.
I love this song.
アルバム「Rocky Mountain High」に収録(1972年発売)
彼自身の事を歌っており、アコースティックギターの演奏がとても素晴しく、耳に残ります。
まさに、John Denverの代表作で、しかもコロラド州の第二州歌に選ばれております。
Words by John Denver
Music by John Denver and Mike Taylor
He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Comin home to a place hed never been before
He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again
You might say he found a key for every door
When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hangin by a song
But the strings already broken and he doesnt really care
It keeps changin fast and it dont last for long
But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
The shadow from the starlight is softer than a lullabye
Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado)
He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below
He saw everything as far as you can see
And they say he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun
And he lost a friend but kept his memory
Now he walks in quiet solitude the forests and the streams
Seeking grace in every step he takes
His sight has turned inside himself to try and understand
The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
You can talk to God and listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado)
Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear
Of a simple thing he cannot comprehend
Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more
More people, more scars upon the land
And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
I know hed be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky Mountain high
Its a Colorado Rocky Mountain high
Ive seen it rainin fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybodys high
Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado)
Rocky Mountain high (high Colorado) Rocky Mountain high
ジョン・デンバーの歌は遠くにあっても決して忘れない故郷のようです。
GWのローカル線旅行時BGMとしてCDを引っ張り出したら、またもJDフィーバーに火が点いてしまい、真夜中なのにギターを弾いてます。

ネットと携帯プレーヤーの普及で、私は毎日、昔以上にJohn Denverの音楽に接するようになりました(^^)
