Over the Hills and Far Away doesn't make me cry, either. To me, this is more of a whimsical kind of song that can make me feel good. Actually, this song can cheer me up when I'm feeling down.
Keep Hipping!

You know what, Tangerine? I don't believe some people cry to Over the Hills and Far Away because it sad - but, rather, because it's so beautiful. It's kinda like tears of joy, more or less. At least, that's how it is for me. This is one of those songs that just really grabs you. It's almost kinda hypnotic sounding. A lot of times, I find myself in a trance, as I hear this song. I don't always cry everytime I hear this song. However, if I haven't heard this song in awhile - then it kinda does tug on my heartstrings. Do you get what I mean?
This song is definitely a burst of sunshine. I always have to turn this song up whenever I hear it on the radio. This is a song that really does touch my inner world. So, yeah, sometimes it is beautiful enough to be tear-inducing.

Oh, yeah, now Over the Hills and Far Away is one song I like to crank up while I'm out driving in my car. This is one song that you can really get lost in.

My kids really enjoy D'yer Mak'er. They really like the "oh, oh oh" part in this song. Aimee even asked her music teacher if they could sing this song in class.
She was actually tempted to say "yes"… but she figured that the song might not be lyrically appropriate for the kids, and that some parents might complain. She did commend my daughter for having good taste in music, though. Annette

I really don't get what's so lyrically wrong about D'yer Mak'er - but it's good that at least your music teacher was impressed.
My kids all love this song, too. Yeah, they like the 'oh, oh, oh' part a lot. This is a nice catchy song, isn't it? Keep on rockin'.

Yeah, what's so bad about D'yer Mak'er? This song has always been my favourite, since I was a little girl. I used to teach my dolls and stuffed animals to sing this song.

Over the Hills and Far Away is one of Adrienne's favorite songs. She even knows all the words to this song. I think this is one of the songs that are open to interpretation. Some think this is a song about drugs. Others think this is a song based on Lord of the Rings. Others, yet, think that this is just a really beautiful love song. I'd rather see it as the latter of the three.
Yeah, Adrienne knows all the words to D'yer Mak'er. This really is not a hard song for kids to learn. I really don't understand why your music teacher objected to this song… but, perhaps, it's because this is a song about boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, and breaking up. Kids really wouldn't understand what that's about, though. Kierra

That probably is why Aimee's music teacher did object to D'yer Mak'er. Some parents don't let their kids listen to the radio… because they don't think the music is appropriate for kids. I have decided not to take that route with my kids, though. Regarding the whole "adults' music vs kids' music" issue, some parents to tend to take one of two extremes with that… and I don't think either extreme is right. It's better just to have a happy medium between the two.
Yeah, my girls really like Over the Hills and Far Away, too. Some people believe that this song is a song about drugs… because, in the live versions of this song, where it says "I live for my dreams and a pocketful of gold", Robert goes "alcupulco gold". You see, "alcupulco gold" is slang for marijuana. Anyway, I do definitely agree with you, that this song is open to interpretation. Annette

Does D'Yer Mak'er have to be about boyfriend/girlfriend relationships, though? Couldn't this just be about any kind of relationship?

Yeah, I never really felt that Over the Hills and Far Away had anything to do with drugs.
 Say, that song doesn't make you guys cry, right?  I guess I will never understand why that song is a tearjerker to some.

Well, Jessie does definitely make a good point.

I totally agree with you guys. D'yer Mak'er could be about any kind of relationship.
Well, yeah, Over the Hills and Far Away wouldn't be a tear-jerker for everyone. I guess I'm just a sensitive soul. There are many songs that move me to tears, just because of the sheer beauty of it - not necessarily because the song makes me feel sad.

Well, a lot of parents call their children "darling"… so D'yer Mak'er could also be about a parent/child relationship. I see no reason why kids couldn't learn to sing this song in school.
Yeah, depending on the mood, Over the Hills and Far Away can sometimes put tears in my eyes. This is a very hypnotic tune. Kierra

Gee, and I thought I was the only one who cried to this song.
Tangerine, my friends are all like you. They are shocked that this song makes me cry, as they don't perceive this to be a sad song. Well, I don't perceive this to be a sad song, either ~ but this is just one of those songs that really tugs at my heartstrings. It's just a harntingly beautiful song that leaves me in a hypnotic trance. I don't know exactly why this song makes me cry, but sometimes it does.

No, I wouldn't say this song makes me cry. I really am not one to cry to music… and I don't even cry that much, for that matter. I've felt felt that this was a nice, cheerful, upbeat tune. I have always liked this song, even before my girls have gotten me into Led Zeppelin.

Yeah, I also used to think I was the only person who cried to Over the Hills and Far Away. I mean, I've known others who cried to songs like The Rain Song or Stairway to Heaven - but others didn't seem to understand why Over the Hills and Far Away moved me to tears.
Oh, yeah, the little girl that I've met at the park the other day. She said D'Yer Mak'er was her favourite song.

Well, no, I wouldn't say that Over The Hills and Far Away makes me cry. It is a beautiful song - but not in a tearjerking sort of way. This song is like a burst of sunshine to me - and it puts a smile on my face. I think this is a happy song, if you ask me!
Keep on rockin'.

Wow! That sounds so lovely, Zed.
Have you seen that girl again?
That's exactly the way I feel, BobCaygeon! Annette

Oh, yeah, as a matter of fact, I have.
Her mother has wanted me to babysit her, and I told her I'd be more than happy to do so. She is a real adorable little girl.
