Though these comparisons are very meaningful and deep, Denver goes at great lengths to explain why he compares them to love. For example, John Denver compares the ocean to love because it is “full of conflict” and “full of change.” Though he explains most comparisons, he leaves some open for interpretation. “Like a fire when it’s cold outside” shows that love keeps us warm, and always has a place in our hearts. Denver also compares love to a resting place, a shelter from the storm. He shows in his music that in the endless moving stream of life, we need to find a break; in love, music, and nature. Those three principles are what all of his songs rely on.
