Song quote: "He was born in the summer of his twenty-seventh year.Ĭoming home to a place he'd never been before. Apparently, Denver was in awe of the mountains. In the song, he tells the story of two years prior (in 1970) when we turned 27 and first discovered the majestic beauty of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Buys a log cabin mountain chalet in 1971 in Aspen, CO and records Rocky Mountain High a year later in 1972. In 1970 he turns the age of 27 (refer to in the song). Begins to make tons of money immediately that year. He signed his first record contract with RCA in 1969. If you do the math, Denver was born in 1943. Never really experiencing the beauty of the mountains. Denver lived in New Mexico, Arizona and Minnesota. It is clear, during the late 60's, before his career had taken off. In order to develop an understanding, it helps to have seen the tribute movie to his life. I believe many are misinterpreting the real meaning of this song.
