An achingly beautiful song. The lyric about being up in the mountains in Denver (we'll throw "I love you" echoes down the canyons, and then lie awake at night until they come back around) is still one of the most romantic things I've ever heard.

So....what's with the Dave Mason moniker?

@sassymess7111 Год назад

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! I guess vocals run in the family!

@MrsPenni-fd7ny 10 месяцев назад

They didn’t meet until years later…I always thought Kenny did background on the song, but he didn’t. This is my favorite song tied with Aaron Neville’s “Feels Like Rain “. Been loving it for over fifty plus years..

@coffee-xg6my Год назад

The story basically is, he's a musician from Tennessee traveling around the country playing gigs and trying to make it big. (I still need to lean to, someone that I can sing to") He lives in these different places he's performing and he wants her to come be with him. Also, did you guys catch the double meaning in that line when he was in LA? "There's some _stars_ that fell from the sky and are living upon the _hill"_ ..He's in LA, near Hollywood Hills where all the movie stars live! I thought that was a very clever line! Dave Loggins is such a great talented singer/songwriter. So talented!

@bkm2797 Год назад

Thank you for sharing the story behind the song!

@lancecorporal9894 9 месяцев назад

That last part about the hill is a very good point and brings some insight into the song. That makes me believe that he has been traveling around for years at this point and wherever he has been he has been trying to get the one he loves to join him. At this point in his life, he is in LA its probably been quite a few years since his first letter and he still wants her with him.

@mattcurless1556 Год назад

A tear comes to my eyes every time I hear this song. My mom and dad got divorced when I was 13 and I can remember my mom listening to this song when she was struggling through it. Now that she’s gone I really miss listening to this song with her. I hope she can hear this song in heaven. I love and miss you so much mom. Thank you guys for the memories. 🥺🥺

Dave Loggins, born and raised in Tennessee, was inspired to write "Please Come to Boston" by a 1972 tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band which included stops in Boston, Denver and Los Angeles,[5] cities which were new to Loggins. He stated: The story is almost true, except there wasn't anyone waiting {here} so I made her up. In effect, making the longing for someone stronger. It was a recap to my first trip to each of those cities and out of innocence. That was how I saw each one. The fact of having no one to come home to made the chorus easy to write. Some 40 years later, I still vividly remember that night, and it was as if someone else was writing the song.[6]

@joel65913 Год назад

It's a bittersweet but beautiful song. He loves her, she loves him but their relationship is never going to work. Even if she followed him in a few months he would be off on the next adventure. He's a rambler infected with wanderlust and she wants a settled life.

@keithcarper8809 Год назад

One of the best ballads of the 70's. ☮💜🎶

@RitzyTrailerII Год назад

the way Dave Loggins could illustrate a story through words was phenomenal. .. "and there are some stars that fell from the sky, living up on the hill" (meaning aging, older movie stars, living up in the Hollywood Hills). This is some of his best work. The poetry of this song is just amazing.

@BillGraper Год назад

The way he sings that last line just hits a different way. He nailed that line!!!

@albertsmith9315 Год назад

I was in college in '76 and Loggins came to our student union and did an acoustic show for all of about 30 people. I didn't know who he was but as a broke kid in school, I went because it was free. Almost 50 years later, I remember him singing this song.

@dillodefense Год назад

Dave was picked up hitchhiking near here by a girl I knew from high school. She was the preeminent hippie chick back then, long glowing hair, short short skirts when not in bell bottoms and tie-dyed. She invited him to the family lodge/lakeside cabin resort where he stayed a very long time. When he left he wrote a song called Girl From Knoxville, which is really about Rockwood, TN, he mentions in the 1st lines. Some believe she was also the muse for Please Come to Boston.

@brinsonopinion Год назад

When I sit down and actually listen to the entirety and nuance of this song from my childhood, I always cry. It's the most beautiful sweet but heartbreaking story set to such heart-touching music. He never goes back to her despite she always being the one he wants to join him on whatever Don Quixote trip he's on. And she never stops loving him enough to say come home. The beautifully ethereal female voice that soars over his vocals when he's singing her words make you almost SEE her trying to reason with him. I love it, I just think this song is a perfect gem.

@jayritchie851 Год назад

He never liked performing live and confessed that he was not cut out to be a rock star. He preferred songwriting and ended up being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. He wrote several hit songs for Alabama and numerous hits for Kenny Rogers, Wynonna, Tanya Tucker, Don Williams, 3 Dog Night, Reba and other country and pop artists. He also wrote "Augusta, " which CBS has used as it's theme during coverage of the Masters golf tournament since the early 1980's.

The 70's may have been the Disco Decade, but it was also the decade of the singer/songwriter. So many great solo artists who wrote and performed their own music. You've already listened to songs by Gordon Lightfoot and Al Stewart, give Michael Martin Murphey's, "Wildfire", a listen.

You can look at any decade and find a variety of music, something for everyone. We had a wide variety of styles and types of music, and there was go and bad in all of it.
