Denver dilemmas

Filed under: — Aprille @ 5:42 pm

Another song we’re singing is John Denver’s “Country Roads.”  Miles listened carefully to the lyrics and had a couple of questions.

In response to “Country roads, take me home”:

M:  How do the country roads know where him or her lives?

He also wasn’t sure about the term “mountain mama.”  I told him maybe the songwriter’s mom lived in the mountains, so he called her that.

M:  Just one question:  If his mom lives in a mountain, where do they sleep?

A:  Maybe they have a house right next to a mountain.

M:  Maybe they sleep on a bench.

The sea of secondary

Miles and I have recently joined a family choir.  One of the songs the kids are singing is “Yellow Submarine.”  As we left rehearsal last night…

M:  We all live in a primary-colored submarine, a primary-colored submarine, a primary-colored submarine.
