Left For Denver by The Lumineers
A poignant tale of loss and regret, this melody explores the passage of time and the impact of choices made. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who, despite facing adversity, chose to hold on longer than others but ultimately decided to leave for Denver. This departure leaves the narrator in a state of confusion, questioning what this individual knew that they did not. The mention of growing older and having kids underlines life's inexorable march forward. It's an exploration of how decisions shape our lives and how sometimes those decisions can leave others behind in their wake, struggling to make sense of it all. #LifeChoices #TimeAndRegret
