Above the Clouds
D. D. Denham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a story untold
Past future present
Nobody knows what it holds
Better to take the jump
Than you ever let go
Because the past you regret
Many be cover in gold
Up and down and side to side
Like the tale of the ocean
Or the turning of the tide
When you speak its close to the ground
But for me it feels like
We about the clouds
This is a tale of a man
With a story untold
Past future present
Nobody knows what it holds
Better to take the jump
Than you ever let go
Because the past you regret
Many be cover in gold
The lyrics of "Above The Clouds" by D. D. Denham speak of the enigmatic journey of a man whose story remains shrouded in mystery and untold to the world. The man's narrative is a blend of past, future, and present, a timeline that eludes understanding and prediction. The lyrics suggest a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty about what lies ahead, emphasizing the unpredictability and complexity of human experiences.
The idea of taking a leap of faith, symbolized by "taking the jump," is presented as a pivotal decision in the man's journey. The lyrics emphasize the importance of embracing the unknown rather than holding back or clinging to the past. The imagery of the past being potentially "covered in gold" signifies that even the most regrettable moments may hold hidden treasures or lessons that shape one's path.
The lyrics further delve into the theme of movement and change, likening the man's journey to the ebb and flow of the ocean or the shifting of tides. There is a sense of perpetual motion and transformation, mirroring the continuous evolution of life itself. The idea that "we [are] about the clouds" alludes to a state of elevated perspective, suggesting a sense of liberation or transcendence from earthly limitations.
Ultimately, the repetition of the verses underscores the cyclical nature of the man's tale, reinforcing the idea that life's narrative is constantly unfolding and evolving. The repetition serves as a reminder that our stories are never truly finished and that each moment offers the potential for new beginnings and revelations. Through its evocative imagery and reflective tone, "Above The Clouds" invites listeners to contemplate the beauty and complexity of the human experience and the transformative power of embracing the unknown.

Amy,
I don't know if we'll ever meet again in this lifetime I can't believe it's been 39 years since we last held each other and looked into each others eyes and it was at our dear friends funeral it was the last time I saw both you and Eric God bless his soul, I want you to know that I still care very much about you and appreciate the years we spent together with all the good and the bad we lived, loved, laughed and cried together and over the years loved each other.
I just want to thank you for loving me and I hope and wish the best for you always and forever.
I want you to know that I hurt for many years after our break up and I came to realize how much I loved you, even to this day you cross my mind from time to time and I still feel that love deep down in my heart for you.
When I hear this song, our song it brings me back to September 1979 and the Fox River valley where we grew up and it melts my heart.
May your life be filled with happiness always and forever I hope we can see each other again either in this lifetime or the next so we can take one last stroll down memory lane together.
